RESPONSE OF THE CASSAVA CROP

The work focused on the response of cassava crop (Sawa-sawa variety) subjected to increasing doses of tithonia diversifolia powder. The results of our research showed that: The average number of stems per plant is 4 stems for T0 T1 with 4.2 T2 with 3.8 T3 with 4.2 T4 with 4.08. Moreover the analysis of variance clearly shows that the different doses significantly influenced this parameter. The analysis of variance clearly shows that the different doses have significantly influenced this parameter. The diameter at the neck starts from 1.26 for T0 1.8 for T1 T2 with 2.08 T3 with 2.52 T4 with 3.18. The average number of roots is: T0 4 T1 3.4 T2 3.8 T3 5.8 and T4 with 7.8; The average weight of tuber in grams is T0 with 704g T1 with 754.4g T2 with 855.6g T3 with 964.6g T4 with 1044.4g The length of the tubers is with an average of 38.4cm for T0 T1 with 44.6cm T2 with 48.6cm T3 with an average of 49.2cm and T4 with an average of 50.6cm. The diameter of the tubers is T0 with 0.48; T1 with 0.50; T2 with 0.88 T3 with 0.68 and T4 with 0.82cm. The plot yield in kilograms
