Is July Too Late To Plant Cassava

[colonelsing]

Hello everyone,

I know khonwan is the man to ask about this but if anyone knows answer to this I would be grateful.My girlfriend's sister planted cassava in Mae Wong awhile ago but lost much of it,apparently from lack of water.It is my girlfriend's land,so now she wants to go down to Mae Wong and plant more,either this month or next.My question is,is that a good time to plant cassava? Thanks for any advice

Hi colonelsing

No problem planting cassava June/July. You can still harvest March/April but I’d suggest leaving off harvesting until December/January (18-month crop rather than 8/9 month) to get a much better yield.

Thank you Khonwan I knew you were the one to ask.I read your whole posting from before about cassava and it is very thorough and helpful
