Conservation tillage for cassava (Manihot esculenta crantz) production in the tropics
but gradually increased in BD within the 10–20 cm soil layer, which offers the soil some structural stability.
A long term experiment showed that cassava root yield was highest under NT with mulch residues, with or without fertilizer application. The reviewed work further confirmed that cassava can be grown successfully under no-till (NT) to give the optimum growth and yield required of the crop, while conserving the soil physical properties.
