The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.

What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.

So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

How to Choose a Cassava Variety

Pick by buyer first. Starch and feed plants pay for yield and starch content, while the table wants a sweet, low cyanide variety that boils soft. A high starch variety needs a buyer within a day of harvest, because the roots spoil fast.

Months to harvest

Months from planting to harvest. A shorter crop frees the field sooner and dodges more of the weather, while a longer one often fills more.

Yield

Trial yields come from well managed plots in several places, so treat them as a ranking more than a promise. Compare varieties within the same type.

Ratings

R means resistant and MR moderately resistant. MS and S mean the variety took clear or heavy damage in the trials, so scout it often.

Registered or not

A registered variety passed national trials. One that is not on the registry shows only its seller's numbers, so test it on a small area first.

Pests and Diseases of Cassava

The problems that hit cassava fields most often. A variety rated resistant to one of these saves you sprays, so check the ratings on each variety page.
