Usually, cassava follows several other crops.
For example, first maize, okra, groundnuts are sown, then plantains are planted, and finally cassava.
In some places, cassava is planted at the same time as yams, or soon after.
The cassava cuttings are placed in the sides of the mounds for
yams.
In other places, maize is grown between the cassava plants, or beans,
fonio or groundnuts.
It is better not to grow several crops together.
