- Intervention effect Pruning affected cassava root number, length, weight and unmarketable roots.
- Intervention effect Intra-row spacing significantly affected total cassava root yield.
- Association Spacing and pruning interacted significantly for marketable and total root yields.
- Intervention effect No pruning produced 21.9% more roots per plant than debranching and 25.7% more than cutback.
- Intervention effect No pruning increased root diameter by 10% over debranching and 26.4% over cutback.
- Intervention effect No pruning increased root length by 17.2% over debranching and 19.9% over cutback.
- Intervention effect No pruning increased root weight by 43.5% over debranching and 58.7% over cutback.
- Intervention effect The highest root yield occurred at 80 cm spacing without pruning.
- Intervention effect No pruning raised marketable root yield by 39.3% over debranching and 44.7% over cutback.
- Recommendation The authors recommended 80 cm intra-row spacing with no pruning for eastern Harerghe and similar agroecologies.
