Cassava farming tips
To enhance and increase stakes production, it is recommended to use short cassava cuttings of two nodes instead of the current longer cuttings with more than seven nodes, used by farmers, which lead to wastage.
These two-node cuttings can be pre-sprouted in an appropriate medium before planting on the field to ensure a good stand and uniformity in the establishment of the cassava at the field.
To prevent land conflicts and struggles for cassava production, practice intercropping with other food crops rather than mono cropping of cassava.
Splitting of land and rotating with legumes would not only improve soil fertility, it would also sustain the production of legumes such as cowpea, groundnut etc. for improved food security.
