Summary
The cassava variety KM 419 was developed from
the cross combination BKA900 x KM 98-5. KM
419 has the advantage of short duration with
fresh root yield 34.9 – 54.9 ton/ ha
(higher than KM 94 about 27.7- 29.6% ), good root shape with white flesh, high
adaptability to various production conditions, starch content 27,8 - 30,7%, starch yield about 10,1 -15,8 ton/ha and root dry matter content about 15,6-21,6 ton/ha for
7-10 months after planting ( KM94 starch content 26,0-28,3 %, starch yield about 6,4- 9,5 ton/ha and
root dry matter content about 9,0- 13,2 ton/ha for 9-11
months after planting). KM419 was moderately susceptible to cassava bacterial
blight. Production area of KM419 in the Tây Ninh, Dong Nai, Dak Lak, Phu Yen in
2013 was up to more than 50,000 ha. KM419 was proposed by the Nong Lam
University in Ho Chi Minh city (NLU) and Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry to be main
production in the Southeast, Central Highland, North and South Central Coast
and Northeast &
Northwest of Vietnam.
Key words: Cassava KM419, high starch yield, cassava breeding, Vietnam.

HarvestPlus, the organisation leading global effort to end hidden hunger, has given an award to Dr Alfred Dixon, known by his peers as “Dr. cassava,” and currently Project Leader for the Cassava Weed Management Project/Head, Project Coordination Office at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), in recognition of his outstanding performance towards the rapid development of provitamin A cassava varieties in Nigeria.
The award was given to Dixon during the HarvestPlus- organised annual
crop meeting held in Abuja 22-23 September. The organisation also
honored one of its own, Dr. Wolfgang Pfeiffer, Deputy Director
(Operations), HarvestPlus. IITA Cassava Breeder, Dr. Peter Kulakow; and
the Executive Director, National Root Crops Research Institute (NRCRI)
Umudike , Dr. J.C. Okonkwo, also clinched awards.
Dixon, a Cassava Breeder, started his career as a Postdoctoral Fellow
at IITA (1989―1990), an Associate Scientist (1991―1994), a Scientist
in Cassava Breeding/Genetics (1994―2008). He had a break and
returned as Project Leader, Cassava Weed Management Project/ Head,
Project Coordination Office (2013-present). In his career with IITA,
Dixon led the development of over 300 improved cassava varieties most of
which were introduced to over 30 countries in Africa and helped the
continent to increase production. Dixon also pioneered the development
of provitamin A cassava varieties. In reference to the contribution of
Dixon, Pfeiffer referred to him as “being instrumental to the
development of yellow cassava varieties that are agrononomically
superior.”
In 2008, Dixon left IITA to serve as the pioneer Director General of
the Sierra Leone Agricultural Research Institute (SLARI), Freetown,
Sierra Leone. He had worked at the Crop Science Department, Njala
University College, University of Sierra Leone as a Research and

(1985―1988), and a Postdoctoral Research Associate (1988―1989) with

University in Manhattan, Kansas, USA.
Dixon is a team player and has trained, inspired, and mentored more
than 300 national scientists and technicians to add value to the food
security drive of governments to ensure food security. Most of his
trainees are today in leadership positions. He is often referred to as
the “Father of Cassava in Africa.” In recognition of his contribution to
the development of the cassava sector in Nigeria, he was awarded a
traditional chieftaincy title in Nigeria.
Dixon has published more than 200 articles in international journals.
He holds a PhD in Agronomy (1988), an MSc in Genetics (1985) from Kansas
State University, Manhattan, Kansas, USA; and a BSc in Agriculture
