Cassava : Manihot esculenta Cassava (Manihot esculenta) which belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae is a robust productive starchy root crop that is grown clonally almost entirely within the tropics, grown chiefly as a food. But it is also an important animal feed, and it has several significant industrial uses. Cassava is a perennial crop, originated in Brazil with Central America and introduced to Sri Lanka in the Dutch regime. Since then cassava stands out in the country as the most important source of energy for the calorie deficient low-income population strata. But from the recent past it has now become a major horticultural export commodity earning foreign exchange. Cassava roots combine high energy and high levels of some vitamins, minerals and dictary fiber and contain no trypsin inhibitor, but create a problem due to presence of cyanide which is removed by post-harvest treatments and cooking. The edible green leaves of cassava are a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals and are often used to augment the rural diet.

It is mainly grown as a rain fed crop throughout the island excluding high elevation areas and mostly concentrating in the wet and intermediate zones. The production systems of cassava have been identified as a backyard crop and large scale open-land cultivation in the wet zone (Gampaha, Colombo, Kegalle, Rathnapura and Matara Districts) as well as in the intermediate zone (Kurunegala district) are mixed cropped with coconut and pineapple cultivations.
Chena cultivation in large scale in the dry zone (Putlam, Anuradhapura, Ampara, Hambantota, Moneragala Districts) is viable. Peak production falls during Maha season. Three improved cassava varieties namely MU-51 (var. Peradeniya), CARI-555 and Kirikawadi having high yield and acceptable horticultural qualities have been recommended for cultivation. Besides these 3 varieties there are few farmer's selections with better consumer acceptance that are being cultivated Crop Management Fertilizer Application Basal 10 to 12 days after planting Top Dressing -1 6 to 8 Weeks after planting Top Dressing -2 14 to16 Weeks after planting Pest Scale Insects White fly Mealy bug Diseases CMV virus Circuspore Leaf spotLANSOPRAZOLE Delayed-release Capsules, USP Link to Prescribing information including all WARNINGS LANSOPRAZOLE Delayed-release Capsules, USP [15 mg] National Drug Code (NDC): LANSOPRAZOLE Delayed-release Capsules, USP [30 mg] * Registered Trademark of Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.
