POTENSIAL IN CASAVA

Mixmug News. Cassava or manioc is well known by many in the farming community, government officials, or scientists, but so far only limited all know not to know closer even still do not know what the potential in cassava, virulence potential in cassava, many - years I was traveling from Lampung nationally known center of cassava.

From experience I gathered while touring the new cassava can be used as food either tiwul, getuk and other small snacks, there are indeed companies - big companies that use cassava as raw materials such as sorbitol, glucose and starch at most, but unfortunately not to be prospering farmers because of low commercial value and productivity of land per hectare because of diminishing area - central areas of cassava is grown continuously, whereas cassava including the voracious plant nutrients and crop age long enough so that the cultivation of cassava becomes less attractive for farmers because the cultivation power of time while the results are not maximal

By studying several aspects of the weaknesses that come from a long trip then inevitably we should be able to increase the selling cassava to become attractive again to the superior efforts in agriculture, but to increase the selling price of cassava means how to think more expensive than now is not answer because manufacturers who make cassava as raw material to buy more expensive from now will have a problem that is produced by raising prices is not the solution.

Viewing of the above problems then the best solution is to increase the productivity of crops, hence the presence of organic fertilizer would make cassava yields per hectare can be increased to 100 tonnes per hectare, but not only fertilizers are relied upon to increase productivity, but the required technology of cultivation , because to get the maximum yield required several things from seed selection and cultivation technical.
