Cassava (Manihot esculenta) belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae, is one of the most important tuber crops cultivated extensively in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia. It is a cross pollinating crop with a diploid number of chromosome 2n=36 and DNA content of 1.67pg per cell. It is highly heterozygous, monoecious and protogynous in nature. The tuberous crop is propagated vegetatively by means of stem cuttings and sexually through seeds. According to Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database (FAOSTAT, 2017), the global cassava production was estimated to be 291992646 tonnes in which 61% is accounted by Africa, 29.3% contributed by Asia and remaining 9.6% by America. Indian cassava production was accounted to be 42 mt from an area of 199 mha with a productivity of 2,09,598 hg ha-1.
