Cassava is a high-yielding crop, well adapted to areas of the tropics with low, uncertain rainfall and mean temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius.It has the ability to grow on very acid soils where few other crops will grow atall; however, highest yields are obtained under more fertile conditions...
A trend exists for using natural dried cassava as an animal feed. However, the technology of cassava drying is not well developed. The rate at which cassava dries when placed in the open air depends on the drying system, the relative humidity, the air temperature and the wind velocity. Particles ...
Based on research results, the advantages of cassava over other crops, the use of improved cv. for different ecosystems, good management practices, crop protection, and soil fertility requirements are discussed in detail. (CIAT)
