Las plantas de yuca de una sola yema superaron a las de yemas multiples; la diferencia aumenta con una reduccion en el espaciamiento. El rendimiento max. de raices se logro en las plantas de yemas multiples y de una sola yema con espaciamientos de 90 x 90 cm (12,600 plantas/ha) y 90 x 120 cm (9450 plantas/ha), resp.; el rendimiento/planta aumento con el aumento en el espaciamiento. El tamano individual de las raices y la tasa de engrosamiento prom. fueron mayores en las plantas de yema unica que en las de yemas multiples. Se recomiendan el sistema de yema unica y el espaciamiento de 90 x 90 cm en el cultivo de esta var. para obtener el mayor rendimiento de raices/ha. La remocion de los brotes adicionales despues de la siembra se debe llevar a cabo poco despues de la emergencia. (RA-CIAT) spa
Single-shoot cassava plants outyielded multishoot plants, the difference increasing with a decrease in spacing distance. Maximum yield of tubers was achieved in the single-and multishoot plants at a spacing of 90 x 90 cm (12,600 plants/ha) and 90 x 120 cm (9,450 plants/ha), respectively; and yield per plant increased with increasing spacing distance. Individual root tuber size and mean bulking rate were greater in single-than in multishoot plants. The single-shoot system and spacing of 90 x 90 cm are recommended in the cultivation of this cassava variety in order to obtain the highest yield of tubers per hectare. The removal of the extra shoots after planting should be carried out soon after emergence. (AS) eng
