Practicas sencillas para aumentar el rendimiento del cultivo de la yuca (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
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 diseases are unknown and weed control, untimely; 4) some local var. have a low yield potential. The CIAT Cassava Program has developed a set of simple low-cost practices aimed towards increasing cassava yields.
