Un ensayo de campo con 2 var. de yuca demostro que el rendimiento total de hojas frescas de la var. Isunikankiyan no se afecto significativamente por la frecuencia de cosecha, mientras que la var. TMS 30211 se afecto significativamente. En comparacion con las plantas testigo donde las hojas no se cosecharon, los rendimientos totales de raices frescas de la var. Isunikankiyan disminuyeron a 76, 62 y 15 por ciento cuando las hojas se cosecharon a intervalos de 1, 2 y 3 meses, resp. Los correspondientes porcentajes de reduccion en el rendimiento para la var. TMS 30211 fueron 56, 34 y 32, resp. Se recomienda la cosecha de las hojas superiores a intervalos de 2 o 3 meses para garantizar rendimientos razonables tanto de hojas como de raices. (CIAT) spa
A field trial with 2 cassava var. showed that total fresh leaf yield of var. Isunikankiyan was not significantly affected by harvesting frequency, while that of var. TMS 30211 was significantly affected. Compared with the control plants whete leaves were not harvested, total fresh root yields of var. Isunikankiyan decreased by 76, 62, and 15 percent when leaves were harvested at 1, 2, and 3 mo. intervals, resp. The corresponding yield reduction percentage for var. TMS 30211 were 56, 34, and 32, resp. Harvesting the top leaves of cassava at 2 or 3 mo. intervals is recommended to ensure reasonable yields of both leaves and roots.
