Potato and Tuber Crops

Intercropping

• As cassava is widely spaced, intercropping with short duration crops like ground nut, French bean and bush cowpea will utilize light and water more effectively and give an additional income of Rs.36000-358000/ha within 3-32½ months.
• It adds organic manure to soil and controls weeds. Intercrops are to be adequately manured for avoiding competition with main crop.
