Abstract
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is a serious threat to cassava production in sub-Saharan Africa. Cassava field assessments were made on 2023, to know the presence of the diseases on cassava plantation located at Offa and Sodo Zuria district Southern Ethiopia. During assessment cassava leaf showed symptoms like leaf chlorosis (discoloration), distortion and reduction in leaf size and stunting of the whole plant but no symptoms were observed by external parts of the stem and root even in the internal part of the root (by dissecting tuberous root of the cassava). Based on visual inspection/observation and by comparing literature descriptions made on cassava diseases symptoms produced, the diseases was identified as Cassava mosaic disease.
