@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.

Science is very interesting when it's oriented towrds a goal that serves the community and contributeur to development by provinding an asset and answers to the concerns of peasant farmers.@IITA_CGIAR @jamesplegg @ClerisseC @CONNECTED_Virus @GodwinAtser @ACAI_IITA

.@IITA_CGIAR and partners DMSZ and @NextGenCassava conduct training on phenotyping for cassava with #CBSD resistance for INERA-IITA cassava breeding program to enhance production in Ruzizi Plain, DRC.

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 or email p.akpu@cgiar.org

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. #SmallholderFarmers
