Step 8. Plant at the correct plant spacing Distances between cassava plants mainly depend on the variety and on the cropping system (sole crop or as intercrop). For sole crops plant at 1 m x 1 m for the branching types. For the non-branching types planr at 1 m x 0.8 m. For intercropping, plant at a wider spacing, 1 m x 1.5 m for the branching types, and 1 m x 1 m for the non-branching types. Too wide spacing between cassava plants leads to increased weed competition and poor yields per unit area. 10
Step 9. Control weeds early Early weeding prevents weeds from competing with the crop for nutrients, water, light and space. Combine different cultural practices to control weeds. [1] Manual weed control (hand weeding). [2] Use cover crops (Melon) to suppress weeds. [3] Use inter-row weeders (mechanical). [4] Use chemicals to control weeds. Weed competition reduces canopy development and root bulking. 11
