Cassava is drought-tolerant and grows reasonably well in relatively infertile soils where other crops would fail. However, production could be further increased if important soil-related constraints are addressed. In order to supply cassava plants with the nutrients required for optimal productio...

Insectos y ácaros dañinos a la yuca y su control
Cassava is becoming an ever more important crop, and over the past 20–30 years its planted area has increased faster than that of any other food crop. However, yields are still low due to the fact that the crop is usually grown on infertile soils and without adequate soil and crop management. Thi...
Over the past 25-30 years, cassava agronomy research in India has made tremendous progress. In the recent past there has been a steady increase in the cultivation of cassava in nontraditional areas, despite the fact that cereals form the major crop and staple food of the country. There has been a...

Annual growth of cassava production in the main cassava production areas during the last five years seems to have kept pace with the increase in population, while the harvested area of cassava increased only 0.6% annually. Of the total cassava produced, about 54% is used for human food, 28% for i...

Recent progress in cassava agronomy research in Vietnam
In South Vietnam, cassava is grown both in the highlands and in the delta, on different soil groups, such as the yellowish red soils, grey degraded soils, alluvial soils and acid sulfate soils. These soils are located mostly in the Central Highlands, the Coastal Region and the Eastern Region of S...
