Studies on production and evaluation of triploids have indicated the scope of triploidy as a novel tool in cassava improvement. Adjacent plantings of diploids and induced tetraploids were found to yield tripolids through open pollination. Morphological markers were dependable in isolating triploids. Evaluation of progeny lines revealed that parental combinations differed in their ability to produce triploids and also influenced characters like cyanogen content and culinary quality.
