I farm 5 hectares of cassava in California. This season I'm dealing with pests destroying the seedlings. 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care. This could happen to any of us. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Love from Pune!
gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Savannah donated after I showed her your page.
take care, Mercedes. I hope things turn around soon. I hope January is when things finally get easier. All the best
