This study identified the characterization, cultivation practices, and utilization of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) germplasm on Kei Besar Island, Southeast Maluku. Conducted from January to February 2025 in five villages, the research used surveys, observations, and interviews. Four local cassava accessions were identified—Kasbi/Enbal Merah, Kasbi/Enbal Pahit, Kasbi Putih, and Kasbi/Enbal Hafsa—distinguished by morphological traits. Seed exchange among villages resulted in the same accession having different local names. Cassava is traditionally cultivated and is an essential local food source, with farmer preferences influenced by taste, maturity, and environmental resilience. The findings support germplasm conservation and future variety development.
