Abstract

This study aimed to assess cassava root and stem yield at different spacings and four transplanting seasons of seedlings produced by an adaptation of the rapid multiplication method. The experimental design was a randomized block design with three replications in a factorial (4 × 5) arranged in strips. Treatments consisted of the combinations of growing seasons (November 9 and 24 and December 3 and 26) and spacings (0.6 × 0.6, 0.8 × 0.8, 0.8 × 0.6, 1.0 × 0.6, and 1.0 × 0.8 m). The percentage of survival, main stem branching height, number of branches, base, middle, and upper diameter, mean diameter, stem length, number of buds per stem and hectare, root length and diameter, root fresh matter per plant and hectare, and number of roots per plant were measured at harvest. Seedling transplanting performed up to November 24 favored the expression of stem and root yield. The spacing of 1.0 × 0.6 m was the most suitable for stem yield traits.
