Abstract

Two experiments were developed at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, San José de las Lajas, Havana, from 1994 to 1996. They were conducted on a compacted Red Ferralitic soil employing a randomized block design and four replications. Therefore, Cassava clones CMC-40 and Señorita were planted at different plant spacings: 0.90x1.0; 1.40x0.60 and 1.80 x 0.50 m with corn or bean intercropped between rows of several cassava populations. Cassava yield and its components were evaluated. Results proved a differentiated clonal performance concerning corn or bean intercropping.
