I farm 1 hectares of cassava in Bahia. This season I'm dealing with a fungus that keeps returning after treatment. I've tried what the local suppliers recommended, but results aren't improving.
I'm looking for an agronomist or experienced grower who can look at photos, soil-test results and my planting plan, and advise on what to change. A 30-minute call or exchange of messages would be fantastic.
I'm happy to share photos and a soil test. I'm using only what I can afford, so low-cost suggestions are best. I'll share how it goes - and what worked - to help others in the community.
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone, Flávio. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Machakos
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 6 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Stay strong, Flávio. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Vitória da Conquista.
Best of luck. Small businesses are the heart of Vitória da Conquista. Hope you're open again soon. Sent it to 22 people at work. Thinking of Vitória da Conquista.
Thinking of you and your family, Flávio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
