If there is one crop that I have observed to be less stressful to cultivate compared to the different crops that I have cultivated that crop would be none other than the tuber Cassava.
The major stress point would be during land clearing and cultivation, but once the stems are in the ground, growth becomes smooth as desired.
We are currently in the dry season, when there's no sign of rain, and if there is, it becomes a strange phenomenon. However, look at how the cassava is doing. It doesn't look like a crop that is experiencing a shortage of water at all.
I don't really know the science that explains this, but one thing I know is that even without any form of irrigation from any water source whatsoever, this crop is not slowing down at all.
Unlike so many plants and not just crops, this is a season where most wither or survive because of irrigation, but here we are, a few months into the season already, and my cassava is still looking green and fresh.
The value placed on this crop depends on the environment you are in. A lot of people don't know that some of the packaged meals they consume are made from cassava, which famers,cancrop t as five different meals.
For a crop that is rich in carbohydrates, you already see it as a good food source for any human being.
Apart from the nutrients aspect, these tubers fetch a lot of money for farmers daily, coupled with the fact that it cultivation stress us less.
