Key Findings
- The study evaluated 12 cassava genotypes across 12 environments in Bahia, Brazil, focusing on fresh root yield (FRY) and dry matter content (DMC)
- Genotypes BR11-34–41 and BR11-34–69 showed high performance and stability for FRY, while BRS Novo Horizonte, BR12-107–002, and BR11-24–156 excelled in DMC
- The study identified two mega-environments for FRY and one for DMC, indicating different environmental influences on these traits
