The methodology used for better conservation of the quality of planting material and to reduce the losses caused by the inadequate storage of cuttings is discussed. Generally, it is recommendable to shorten the storage period as much as possible. General conditions for the conservation of cutting...
Se discute la metodologia utilizada para conservar mejor la calidad del material de siembra y reducir las perdidas ocasionadas por el almacenamiento inadecuado de las estacas. En general, se recomienda reducir al max. posible el periodo de almacenamiento. Se enumeran las condiciones generales par...

Influence of crop rotation and intercropping of cassava with legumes on VA mycorrhizal symbiosis of cassava
Soil erosion and the productivity of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) cropping systems, including forage legume intercropping, were monitored under natural rainfall conditions on Inceptisols in southwest Colombia. Trials were conducted over two cropping periods on moderate slopes. The best eros...

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...
