Abstract
Indonesia is the premier example of a well-integrated cassava economy, where the multiuse characteristics of the crop are fully exploited. Av. yields range from 2.3 to 19.5 t/ha, depending on cropping system and, above all, land type. The 5 major cassava- producing zones are characterized. Cassava-based systems provide a significant return on cash outlay. Cassava has been…
