 In: In: Weber, E., Nestel, B. and Campbell, M. (eds.). Intercropping with cassava: Proceedings of an international workshop held at Trivandrum, India, 27 Nov-1 Dec 1978Summary: 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. (CIAT)Summary: 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.
