Sustainable Yield Intensification in Philippine Cassava Systems
IPNI-2014-PHL-5
Executive Summary Cassava is a crop with significant potential for intensification in Southeast Asia with cassava production changing from a traditional food crop to an export oriented industry that responds to strong external market demands for the crop. The cassava production sector delivers into these growing markets by a combination of increasing the area planted, using higher yielding varieties and partly by trying to intensify through improved management.

Interpretive Summary
This project generates the scientific information that is required to establish the nutrient uptake and yield relationships for cassava, determines the agronomic use efficiency for individual nutrients to aid in the development of fertilizer recommendations, and establishes 4R-consistent nutrient management practices for smallholder growing systems. The implementation of this project is between 2015 and 2018 in the Philippines.
The project in the Philippines, between 2015 and 2018, 1) generates the scientific information that is required to establish nutrient uptake –yield relationships for cassava; 2) determines the agronomic use efficiency for individual nutrients, which aids in the development of fertilizer recommendations; and 3) establishes 4R-consistent nutrient management practices for smallholder growing systems.
