CMP 32 10 Cassava (PSB Cv 16): Yield, Maturity and Characteristics
CMP 32 10 is a registered cassava variety, also sold or known as PSB Cv 16. It was registered with the National Seed Industry Council in 1999 as NSIC 1999 Cv 16. It takes 10 to 12 months from planting to harvest, with 33.6 tonnes per hectare on average in the trials.
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.
