Starch content in the root tuber of cassava is very rich. According to measurement,starch content of cassava is higher than sweet potato by 70%, higher than potato by 155% andthus is a good food and fodder and can be made as noodles,cakes and biscuits. Moreover, cassava is also very useful in industries. Cassava is mainly applied to size and weave cloth in cotton milland textile mill and is an important export material.The adaptability of cassava is broad,it possesses the characteristics of drought-enduranceand poor-nutrient-enduranec. Baize is situated in Guizhou-Yunnan plateau where mountainsare high and slopes are broad.To plant cassava in large area in such region will be a good way forthe exploitation of poor moutainous region.However, in recent tens years, the cassava species inBaise mountainous region were merely the South Pacific Ocean purple bark species. Because of thelong time planting, the species tend to degenerate and the starch content rate decreases.In orderto popularize the four new species of cassava, the aUthors investigated and studied the growthadaptability, the root tuber output and quality of such four species.
