@Nig_Farmer Heaps are different from ridges.

If you make long ridges rightly, you can get additional yield of around 1.5tons per acre or 4 tons per hectare compared to flat and considering other field/land conditions.

Plus heaps make mechanization very difficult.

Don’t be fooled. There's NO “six months cassava”. The new & improved varieties released by @IITA_CGIAR & partners have a maturity period of 10 – 12 months.

To access these improved #cassava varieties, contact Kayode 07066691353 or Patrick 08054536299

Affordable farming mechanization

80% of smallholder farmers in Nigeria still use manual tools such as hoes and cutlasses because of the prohibitive cost of mechanization.
A STIHL and IITA collaboration aims to change that.
