Abstract: Two sweet cassava cultivars with pink pulp, BRS 400 and BRS 401, are validated through participatory tests conducted at Distrito Federal, Brazil. Their high root yield stability and their high level of acceptance among producers certainly qualify them as a new crop option for cultivation in the region.
