More Information About Cassava

Cassava is one of the most common food crops grown and consumed in many parts of Africa. The crop grows well in various soil types and ecologies. It can be planted alone or in association with many other crops, like maize, groundnuts, vegetables, and rice. Growing cassava is not very labor intensive and usually requires 75–125 person-days per hectare from land preparation to harvesting. The storage roots can be harvested 9–18 months after planting. Under traditional farming practices, one can expect between 8 and 15 tonnes of storage roots per hectare of land planted only with cassava. Even under harsh environmental conditions cassava will provide some food when other crops fail. In most places there is a good market for cassava. The storage roots can be processed into various food products (Figures 1 and 2), and starch for domestic consumption, local, and/or export markets. Cassava leaves are nutritious vegetables (Figure 3). The leaves and storage roots can also be used as animal feed. The stems can be sold as planting material.

 In order to grow a healthy crop of cassava you will need to combine plant production and plant protection practices. These include site selection, soil improvement, variety and planting material selection, and planting and post-planting measures against weeds, pests, and diseases. The companion field guides on “Weed Control in Cassava Farms”, “Pest Control in Cassava Farms”, and “Disease Control in Cassava Farms” cover specific details of weeds, pests and diseases.
