To plant cassava, push into the soil the end of the piece of stem that was nearer to the ground. Plant the cuttings in mounds or ridges. Plant when the soil is quite wet, after the beginning of the rainy season. Plant the cuttings either straight or slanting.
Also to know is, what is the best way to plant cassava?
Growing cassava yuca successfully relies upon tropical climates and at least eight months of warm weather. The plant prefers well-drained soil and modest rainfall, but it can survive where soils are wet. Cassava roots do not tolerate freezing temperatures and the best growth is in full sun.
Hereof, how long does cassava take to grow?
Generally cassava reaches maturity in 9-24 months or up to 36 months depending on the variety, climate and soil conditions. Some quick growing cultivars can be harvested in 6-7 months, but good yields are normally obtained after 9-12 months.
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is cultivated throughout the entire Brazilian territory. In cassava this is also true, although it produces botanical seeds, but the typical propagation of cassava is undertaken vegetatively, through pieces of the stems which are commonly known as stem cuttings.
