Cassava
Originating in South America, Cassava cultivation goes back about 4000 years. In the 16th century, it was brought to Africa, and soon became the most important crop.
Problems
Farmers Face
Monoculture
Monoculture of Cassava results in nutrient deficient soils that adversely affect tuber productivity
Seed Germination
Poor germination leads to weed infestation. Weak plant growth due to unhealthy and non-resistant cultivars encourages pests and disease.
Soil Moisture Content
Poor soil moisture content creates stressed conditions and reduces yields
Our Solution
The SANJIBAN Way!
Helps decompose crop residues to increase organic matter in soil
- Decomposition of crop residues builds up soil carbon thereby improving the soil C:N ratio and increasing soil fertility
- Increase in humus formation improves soil moisture content
- Increase in soil porosity allows better air and water infiltration: reduces compaction, softens soil
Decompostion of Previous crop Residues
Enables uniform germination for vigorous early growth
- Improves germination
- Better sprouting & early plant growth
- Better protection against soil-borne disease
After sowing
Upto 30 days
Improves plant health and systemic resistance
- Stimulates the plant’s own defence & immune system to soil borne disease
- Increases the thickness of root cell walls
- Improves recovery from abiotic stress: stabilises crop growth
Root Development
15th-45th day
A vegetative growth promoter which is readily bio-available for immediate plant uptake
- Increases stem elongation & plant canopy
- Improves photo-synthesis, increases plant sugars
- Promotes branch development and leaf canopy growth
Vegetative Growth
30th-90th Day
Multiplies the soil’s native microbes to stimulate their activity
- Promotes tuber initiation
- Improves soil nutrient uptake
- Stabilises crop growth
Tuber Initiation
90th-150th Day
Boosts plant growth and structure while increasing microbial life and soil fertility
- Improves plant structure
- Increases plant vitality
- Increases bulking of tubers
Tuber Formation
150th-180th Day
Reinforces tuber cell walls, leading to better quality and longer shelf life
- Promotes ripening and maturation of tubers
- Increases soil nutrient uptake to bulk tuber weight
- Increases soil nutrient uptake to bulk tuber weight
Tuber Maturation
180th - 210th Day
