- Abstract
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) has high phenotypic plasticity, acclimatization, broad adaptability, and resilience under adverse edaphoclimatic conditions. This systematic review aimed to identify factors that determined cassava production in Brazil during the last three decades and direct perspectives for this crop in Colombia. The methodology was based on studies that integrated academic information from different situations (1990-2020), environments, states, groups of researchers and existing scientific evidence. Based on the information, a binary matrix of information was assembled based on the following characteristics: plant density per hectare, soil type, city, state, average air temperature, planting line spacing, plant spacing on the planting line, implantation date, implantation station, harvesting station, productivity per hectare, days for harvest, liming, fertilization, precipitation and climate. During the last 30 years, the productivity of cassava in Brazil has increased, mainly in low-income populations and rural populations. There are prospects for increasing cassava production for fresh sale and industries. This crop is characterized as rustic, highly adaptive, tolerant of water stress and acidic soils, and highly influenced by climate, rainfall, air temperature, and incident solar radiation. Productivity is determined by implantation time, liming, fertilization, density, and plant arrangement.
