- Recommendation Plant spacing of 100 cm x 80, 120 cm x 80 and 80 cm x 80 was recommended for the Awassa, Amaro kele and Amaro Jijola areas, respectively.
- Association Root moisture content of cassava was higher in the varieties Qule, Kele and local at the 12th and 15th months after planting.
- Association Root moisture content of cassava decreased markedly and linearly after the 12th and 15th months after planting.
- Association Viscosity and root yield of cassava increased significantly starting at the 12th month after planting.
- Intervention effect Intercropping maize and cassava in alternate rows (1C:1M) gave a land equivalent ratio (LER) advantage of 71%.
- Intervention effect Cassava intercropped with haricot bean gave an LER of 1.82 compared to sole beans in the Amaro area.
- Intervention effect Cassava intercropped with cow pea gave an LER of 1.49 compared to sole beans in the Amaro area.
- Intervention effect Cassava intercropped with soy bean gave an LER of 1.48 compared to sole beans in the Amaro area.
- Intervention effect Slant and vertical plantings were more suitable than horizontal planting in Awassa sandy soils.
- Recommendation Planting material for cassava should be taken from the middle and top part of the main stem rather than from its branches.
- Intervention effect Furrow and ridge planting gave comparable yields of 48 t/ha and 43 t/ha compared with flat planting at 38 t/ha.
- Recommendation Rainfed cassava planting from mid April to early May gave optimum marketable and total tuber yield.
