La Colorada, on the North Coast of Colombia, was chosen by CIAT to study new technology validation in cassava. Trials measured the productivity of improved cassava production technology under actual field conditions, defined factors limiting cassava yields that may have been overlooked in the des...
This is an overview of the present status of cassava as regards production and yields, nutritional value and international research programs. A cassava research program to be developed by CIAT is presented. The program covers the following areas: varietal improvement, production systems, internat...

Two trials were conducted at the CIAT expt station in Cali, Colombia, to measure the effect of spatial arrangement at fixed planting densities on cassava root yield. In expt I, 3 cassava cv. of different growth habit were planted at 10,000 plants/ha and arranged in 5 different patterns. Experimen...
