Farmers’ perceptions on the causes of cassava root bitterness: A case of konzo-affected Mtwara region, Tanzania
In areas where konzo (a cassava cyanide related paralytic disorder) persists, the agronomic factors causing increased cyanogenic glucoside levels in cassava, during periods without water stress, are hardly known. However, through their assessment of cassava root toxicity, using its bitter taste, far...
