Conteúdo: | The cassava program at the International Centre of Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) has basically been developing monoculture systems for cassavaproduction. However, an agroeconomic survey in Colombia showed that about 40% of cassava is grown in mixed culture (Diaz and Andersen 1977).The authors furthermore estimated that in Latin America the figure of 40% is probably fairly representative. Okigbo (1976) estimated that inAfrica about half the cassava is grown in mixed cropping systems. In general, the mixed cropping systems are used by the smaller farmers from the lower income groups. In the last 2 years, the CIAT Cassava Program has started serious investigations on cassava intercropping systems. The cassava crop is among the most efficient calorie producers (250 kilocalories ha-1 day-1) of the major crops (Coursey and Haynes 1970).The protein content of cassava is, however, very low and hence in CIATwe decided to concentrate on cassava grain legume mixes, so as to givea combination that might more nearly satisfy dietary requirements.
