Soil: It is advisable to use weakly acidic soil with loose soil and deep soil layer. Light: It has high lighting requirements and sufficient light should be ensured every day. Temperature: The average annual optimal temperature suitable for its growth is between 22-26°C. Watering: Newly planted cassava is not suitable for immediate watering. It only needs timely spraying of water to keep the soil slightly moist. Watering should be timely sprinkled during drought periods in summer. Fertilization: Apply thin fertilizer once a month during the growing season.

1. Soil

1. Soil

Cassava has strong adaptability to soil and is resistant to drought and barrenness. However, weakly acidic soil with loose soil and deep soil layer in subtropical and tropical areas below an altitude of 2,000 meters is better. The soil should be loosened frequently to maintain soil permeability.

2. Lighting

It has high lighting requirements and sufficient light should be ensured every day. When cultivated under insufficient light conditions, the stems are thinner, the internodes and petioles are longer, the leaves are thin, and the flower buds are underdeveloped. However, during the high-temperature and strong-light seasons of July and August, appropriate shade should be considered to prevent the fruit from being sunburned and affecting its quality.

3. Temperature

The average annual optimal temperature suitable for its growth is about 27℃, and it prefers a warm climate. Growth tends to be slow when the temperature is around 10°C, young organs begin to suffer frost damage at 5°C, and leaves wither at 0°C. Too high a temperature is also detrimental to growth and development.

4. Watering

It is not suitable to water the newly loaded cassava immediately. You only need to spray water to make the soil slightly moist. Keeping the surrounding environment moist is conducive to its growth, and watering should be timely sprinkled during drought periods in summer. Pay attention to drainage and do not allow water to accumulate for too long.

5. Fertilization

Because its growth requires more nutrients and trace elements such as CA and K, it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer once a month. It is recommended to apply diluted livestock manure or decomposed cake fertilizer.

VI. Precautions

1. Cultivating and weeding should be carried out 4-5 times throughout the year to increase the soil's permeability and nutrient supply, thereby helping it grow.

2. The main pests are red spiders and snails. Pesticides should be sprayed regularly and regularly to control pests.
