Cassava is mainly propagated by

Cassava is mainly propagated by cuttings. Cuttings are stem pieces from a mature cassava plant, which are planted in soil to grow into new cassava plants. This method of propagation is preferred because cassava does not produce true seeds or they take a very long time to mature, and cuttings can be taken from a healthy and productive mother plant to ensure the genetic quality of the new plants. Additionally, cuttings are easy to handle, transport, and plant, and they can rapidly produce new plants that are ready for harvest in 8 to 18 months.
