Cassava Stem Cuttings β 1bundle
Root & Tuber Planting
Description
Cassava stem cuttings are sections of mature cassava plant stems that are carefully selected and cut into plantable pieces, usually about 20 to 30 centimeters long, each containing several nodes. These nodes are the hidden βgrowth buttonsβ where new roots and shoots emerge once the cutting is placed in soil. Instead of planting cassava from seeds, which is not commonly used for farming, farmers rely on these stem cuttings as the direct starting material for new plants. They are usually taken from healthy, disease free mother plants that have strong yields and good resistance traits. What this really means is you are not starting from scratch, you are cloning a proven plant and giving it a fresh field to multiply.
