Abstract
SUMMARYThree varieties in one cassava trial and five in another were planted in a systematic density experiment which showed that optimum plant density for root yield changes with plant age. Some varieties showed a pronounced optimum plant population, whilst others showed a flattopped response curve. Reduction in yield above the optimum is due to a reduced harvest index. Yields of over 50 t–ha were obtained with varieties that respond to close spacing.
