Macabo or new cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) can be reproduced asexually in Cameroon because of the application of flowering induction techniques and artificial pollination. The Institute of Agricultural Research (Njombe) has developed conditions that are suitable for seed germination and later growth of the plantlets, and these conditions are currently being used in the large scale production of hybrids. Preliminary tests on hybrid clone resistance to Pythium myriotylum induced root rot yielded inconclusive results. Research is being pursued in this area.
