It mainly consisted on knowledge transference, accompaniment and technical assistance in regard the cultivation of industrial cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) aimed to producers of the ASOAGROCHIMA agricultor association of the municipality of Chima located in Córdoba in order to employ this species as a feeding alternative for cattle, as well as the most suitable way to prepare the land recommended for it. For this case a deep disc plow and a ridge were used for correct soil preparation and for undergrowth control were recommended to use highly selectivity herbicides to stimulate cassava cultivation and also take advantage of its residuals in the soil in order to maintains a total control of undergrowths during the first month of crop. For an adequate control of pests and diseases it was checked that they were below the threshold of economic damage, due to the fact that cassava is a fairly resistant material, sometimes the 99% of the pests or diseases do not reach a threshold of the damages or economical losses in which the application of chemical products becomes necessary. Due to the cost of these products in most cases is greater than the possible economic losses found by an affectation of any pest or pathogen the aim is to flavor a good productivity for the use of the tuber and the foliage employment as an alternative for cattle feeding.
