CASSAVA STEM AND ROOT PRODUCTION
A PRACTICAL MANUAL
This field resource handbook emerged out of the need to
equip the farmers, agricultural extension agents,
students etc with the necessary skills for stem
production through multiplication of cassava planting
materials as well as efficient production of cassava
roots.
The
cassava manual is also a veritable resource materials
designed to render technical support service to the
current presidential initiative on cassava production
and export.
The
54 paged-handbook has two sections. The first section
dealing with the practical techniques of cassava stem
production through rapid multiplication of cassava stems
are a means of providing sufficient planting materials
needed for cassava production.
The
step by step pictorial demonstration of the operations
as well as the implements and inputs required clearly
simplified the practical technique of rapid
multiplication of cassava stem.
The
second section dwelt on the modern techniques for
efficient production of cassava roots. The technique
involved application of current findings in the various
production activities of cassava.
