2. Soil Preparation and Land Management: Proper soil preparation is essential for optimal cassava growth and yield. Conducting soil tests to assess nutrient levels and pH, implementing appropriate soil amendments (e.g., organic matter, fertilizers), and ensuring proper land drainage are crucial steps. Good land management practices, including land rotation to prevent soil depletion and erosion control measures, can enhance long-term productivity and profitability.
3. Planting Practices and Crop Management: Efficient planting practices and crop management strategies contribute to higher cassava yields and profitability. This includes using healthy and disease-free planting materials, planting at the right spacing and depth, timely weeding, pest and disease monitoring/control, and optimizing irrigation or water management. Proper management of weeds, pests, and diseases reduces production losses and improves the quality of harvested cassava roots.
4. Harvesting and Post-Harvest Handling: Proper harvesting techniques and post-harvest handling are critical for preserving cassava quality and reducing post-harvest losses. Harvesting at the right maturity stage, handling roots carefully to avoid damage, and minimizing delays between harvest and processing/storage are important considerations. Implementing appropriate storage facilities (e.g., dry and ventilated storage areas) and post-harvest processing techniques (e.g., peeling, drying, or processing into value-added products) can add value and increase market opportunities, thereby improving profitability.
