- Intervention effect Fifteen centimetre cuttings produced the highest sprout count, 100%.
- Intervention effect Fifteen centimetre cuttings produced a comparable number of activated nodes.
- Intervention effect Cassava mosaic disease incidence was highest with 25 cm cuttings, at 76.6%.
- Intervention effect Cassava mosaic disease incidence was lowest with 5 cm cuttings, at 50.0%.
- Observation Bacterial blight incidence increased from one to three months after planting, then declined.
- Observation Bacterial blight severity increased from one to three months after planting, then declined.
- Intervention effect Fresh tuber weight was 33.97 tonnes/ha with 25 cm cuttings.
- Intervention effect Fresh tuber weight was lowest with 5 cm cuttings, at 23.34 tonneslha.
- Observation Fifteen centimetre cuttings increased the multiplication ratio and conserved planting material.
- Observation Fifteen centimetre cuttings reduced foliar disease.
- Observation Fifteen centimetre cuttings increased cassava tuber yield.
- Recommendation The authors recommend against cuttings shorter than 15 cm because they desiccate rapidly and may yield fewer than two activated nodes.
