Abstract

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), as an important food and energy crop, is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. However, in recent years, with the intensification of global climate change, cassava cultivation has faced increasing challenges. This study delves into the specific impacts of climate change on cassava cultivation and seeks effective response strategies. By analyzing the impact of climate change on the growth cycle, yield, and quality of cassava, as well as its impact on cassava cultivation areas and planting patterns, scientific basis is provided for the sustainable development of cassava industry. Meanwhile, this study will also focus on exploring the application of genetic adaptation and breeding strategies in cassava cultivation, in order to cultivate new cassava varieties with stronger stress resistance, higher yield, and better quality, aiming to provide strong support for the sustainable development of the cassava industry.
