of cassava, the largest food consumed daily by the Paraguayan population.
To address this problem, a private university in Paraguay recently announced that it had achieved a cassava production of 60,000 kilograms per hectare, following a study on cassava production
.
Paraguayan's "Latest Moment" reported on January 12 that in addition to being a food consumed by the people, its leaves are also used as animal feed
because they are nutritious.
Rubén Sanabria, head of the Department of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine at the private Universidad Tri-Borders International (UnInter), noted that last year's dry weather allowed harmful insects to multiply, resulting in low cassava production
.
Although cassava still yields, it is of poor quality, does not soften when cooked, and many cassava rot or fibrosis
in the soil.

Sanabria said that the study began with soil analysis, and carried out soil loosening, fertilization, seed disinfection, seeding, pest control, etc.
, in general, loosening soil is important for cassava cultivation so that the roots can continue to grow
.
In the first year of the study, the students managed to achieve cassava yields of 40,000 kilograms per hectare, increasing to 60,000 kilograms in the second year, much higher than the 8,000 kilograms per hectare yield of nearby smallholder farms

The most recent harvest in the study was last November, and it took 13 months

Sanabria points out that if smallholder farmers take advantage of the research, cassava yields on their fields could easily reach 20,000 kilograms
per hectare.
With an investment of about 20 million guaraníes, if cassava were sold at 3,000 guaraníes per kilogram, a profit
of more than 30 million guaraníes per hectare could be obtained.
However, if the results of this research are not utilized, the domestic cassava supply problem will be exacerbated by insufficient production, and the price may rise to 10,000 guaraníes
per kilogram.

In addition, Sanabria explained that the pests that affect cassava are whiteflies and leafhoppers, which are very small insects that suck the slurry of crops and can even transmit diseases, affecting fruit trees such as mangoes, loquats and avocados, causing fruits to fail to develop or plants to dry up
.
Therefore, the relevant technology of the cassava research results can also be used for the above crops
