Two trials were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of a commercial cassava harvester (A) and a harvesting implement (B): (1) the var. Chiroza (difficult, to harvest) was planted using 3 systems (beds, ridges and on the flat) at different densities and (2) three cassava var. (M Col 22, CMC 84 an...
Con el fin de evaluar la eficiencia de una cosechadora comercial de yuca (A) y un implemento (B), se establecieron 2 ensayos: 1) se sembro la var. Chiroza (dificil de cosechar) en 3 sistemas de siembra (camas, camellones y en plano) con diferentes densidades. 2) Se sembraron 3 var. de yuca (M Col...
Some cultural control measures of weeds in cassava are discussed: quality of the material, planting system and density, density x plant type interaction and use of mulching. In order to study the interaction plant type x planting density, var. M Mex 59 (vigorous) and M Col 22 (nonvigorous) were p...
Se describen algunas medidas de control cultural de malezas en yuca: calidad del material; sistema y densidad de siembra; interaccion tipo de planta x densidad y uso de coberturas. Para estudiar la interaccion tipo de planta x densidad de siembra, se sembraron las var. M Mex 59 (Vigorosa) y M Col...
A detailed review on cassava production in intercropping systems is given, based on the following aspects: selection of plant types for intercropping; realtive planting time, planting density and pattern (spatial arrangement); mineral nutrition and fertilization, competition for nutrients; pest, ...
CIAT has developed a new intercropping technology (cassava/grain legume associations) that tries to solve the numerous problems that arise in traditional intercropping systems. High-yielding cassava cv. with an erect, late-branching growth habit are recommended to minimize intercrop competition. ...
The low cassava yields obtained in L.A. at present are the result of a complex of problems: 1) deficient quality of planting material, which results in low sprouting, poor rooting and little initial vigor; 2) inadequate land preparation and planting systems; 3) control systems for pests and disea...

Practicas sencillas para aumentar el rendimiento del cultivo de la yuca (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
The management of cassava intercropping and its evaluation are described. Multiple cropping systems are defined: consecutive cropping and intercropping (mixed intercropping, row intercropping, strip intercropping, and relay intercropping). Basic biological and nutritional aspects of multiple crop...
Se presenta una descripcion del manejo de cultivos asociados con yuca y su evaluacion. Se definen lo que son los sistemas de cultivo multiple (cultivo consecutivo y cultivo intercalado o asociado-intercalado mixto, intercalado en surcos, intercalado en franjas, intercalado en relevo), se analizan...
