| Innovation Title | High throughput phenotyping (HTPP) tools for screening postharvest quality traits in improved cassava genotypes in Uganda |
| Innovation description | The tool increases the accuracy of varietal screening by integrating postharvest quality traits among the criteria for screening. This is made possible by low-cost HTPP tools developed in synergy RTB cluster teams and RTB Foods Projects. |

| Year (Stage) | 2021 |
| Stage Description | The French Agricultural Research Center for International Development (CIRAD) has created a promising protocol to quickly measure the cooking time required for cassava, based on the amount of water absorbed during a 30-minute boiling and changes in density. Ugandan National Agricultural Research and CGIAR Centers have shown interest in using. |
