The invention discloses a planting method for short stems of cassava. The planting method comprises the following steps: selection and treatment of seed stems, deep ploughing and
soil preparation, planting, grain management and cassava harvesting. The general standard of selection of seed stems in the step 1) is that the seed stems is round and thick, has dens nodes, has no
disease or pests, has no damage, and has bright color, the seed stem is fresh, when the seed stem is
cut off, a milky liquid outflows, and the
bud points are round and obviously prominent. The main diseases and pests in thedisease
pest control in the step 4) are
bacterial wilt, bacterial angular
leaf spot, brown angular
leaf spot, damage caused by pests and damage caused by rats. The lowest temperature of cassava
germination is 14-16 DEG C, the cassava can grow normally at 18-20 DEG C, and the optimum temperature is 25-29 DEG C; the optimum temperature for tuberous root expansion is 22-25 DEG C, the temperature ofhighest
photosynthetic efficiency is 40 DEG C, and the temperature of lowest
photosynthetic efficiency is 14 DEG C. According to the planting method provided by the invention, through reasonable management on cassava, reasonable fertilization, and timely and effective prevention and treatment on
disease and pests, the yield and the economic benefit of the cassava can be effectively improved.
