Description:	Embrapa characterized 178 accessions of arracacha, identifying 49 morphotypes. The analysis revealed that 73% of the collection are likely duplicates. Traits such as leaf and pulp color were crucial. Discarding copies will reduce costs, focusing on seed conservation and genetic diversity.
