[0002] Cassava cultivation and utilization have high economic value. Its starch-rich tubers are an important food and cash crop in tropical and subtropical regions, earning it the nickname "Starch King." Cassava is also a specialty crop in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. As China's largest cassava-growing region, Guangxi boasts an annual production area of ​​approximately 2.6 million mu (approximately 1.6 million hectares), accounting for over 60% of the nation's total cassava planting area. However, Guangxi's and even the nation's own cassava production falls far short of meeting domestic demand, necessitating the annual importation of large quantities of cassava and related products from Africa and Southeast Asia. This demonstrates the broad prospects for the development of cassava cultivation in my country.

[0003] In the traditional manual planting model, growers cut the cassava stalks into 5-10 cm segments, manually dig trenches, place the cassava seed stalks in the trenches, and cover them with soil.
