- Observation An early cassava clone CM3906-31 was released as MM 92.
- Observation MM 92 could yield 30 t/ha of fresh roots on drained peat after six months.
- Observation MM 92 could yield up to 40 t/ha on mineral soils.
- Observation MM 92 starch content was low at 20 percent.
- Intervention effect Lime applications produced the strongest response in a long-term peat fertility trial.
- Intervention effect Natural grass contour barriers were among the most effective for reducing erosion.
- Intervention effect Soil loss did not differ significantly among tillage and cropping treatments.
- Observation Cassava withstood flooding at three and a half months of age for up to 3–4 days.
- Intervention effect Drought at four months seemed to increase cyanide content in Medan root pith.
- Intervention effect Three weeks of moisture stress in an eight-month crop appeared to increase root pith cyanide in Perintis.
- Intervention effect Three weeks of moisture stress in an eight-month crop appeared to have the same cyanide effect in Medan.
