e0“Field experiments were conducted at the Agricultural Engineering Experimental Farm of The Federal University of Technology, Akure”
e1“T100 full treatment produced the highest average total dry matter yield of 49.12 and 37.62 t/ha in 2006/07 and 2007/08 cropping seasons”
e2“the average total dry matter production in T50, T25, and T0 showed significant differences in their values. Low total dry matter yields of 7.12 and 5.92 t/ha, respectively, were associated with T0”
e3“Disease free stems of the cassava cultivar TMS 91934 were planted”
e7“with T100 receiving 100% available water (AW), T50 and T25 receiving 50% and 25% of AW and T0 with zero irrigation (control treatment)”

- Intervention effect Zero irrigation gave lower total dry matter yields of cassava than full irrigation.
- Observation Total water use under T100 was 1491.75 and 1701.13 mm.
- Observation Total water use under T0 was 729.00 and 651.13 mm.
- Observation Water use efficiency of cassava ranged from 7.38 kg/ha to 32.93 kg/ha across the two seasons.
- Observation Under T100, 51.11% and 61.72% of the total water use was applied water.
- Observation Under T25, 14.83% and 17.85% of the total water use was applied water.
