Abstract: The sugary cassava cultivar BRS 438 has high roots yield (with expressive
concentration of free sugars), adaptation to mechanized planting, and moderate resistance to bacterial diseases. These characteristics make it an option for production of sugars, alcohol, and animal feed (additive in forage grass silage), among other possibilities.
