Production of Cassava as Potential Staple Food Crops

Abstract

Different varieties of cassava were planted to determine its characteristics, adaptability and yield performance as potential food source during the time of drought and calamities. A study was carried out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with five treatments replicated three times. Different cassava varieties were found out to be adaptable in the areas as manifested with the yield and yield components. Improved varieties have a greater yield potential compared to the native variety.
