Se analizan los sistemas de cultivo utilizados por pequenos agricultores en America Central en los cuales se intercala yuca con cultivos perennes (platano), maiz, frijol, maiz + arroz y otros tuberculos (malanga, name y batata). Se presenta una revision sobre la investigacion realizada en cultivos intercalados con yuca. Se concluye que la mayor parte de esta investigacion se ha llevado a cabo en el Centro Agronomico Tropical de Investigacion y Ensenanza (CATIE) en el que se hizo enfasis en el estudio de las caracteristicas agronomicas de los sistemas tradicionales de cultivo. Se requieren estudios ecologicos y la identificacion de los determinantes socioeconomicos de los sistemas de produccion con base en yuca en localidades especificas para evaluar el potencial de produccion de America Central.

Cropping systems used by small farmers in Central America are analyzed, in which cassava is intercropped with perennial crops (plantain), maize, beans, maize + rice, and other tuber crops (taro, yams, and sweet potatoes). A research review is presented on cassava inter-cropping. It is concluded that most of this research has been done at the Centro Agronomico Tropical de Investigacion y Ensenanza (CATIE), emphasizing the study of agronomic characters of the traditional cropping systems. Ecological studies and the identification of socioeconomic determinants of cassava-based production systems in specific locations are required to evaluate their production potential in Central America.
