Abstract
La yuca (Man ihot escu lenta. Crantz) es uno de los cu ltivos de mayor importancia en los países subdesarrollados de las zonas tropicales y subtropicales por ser fuente de carboh idratos y proteínas más económicos. El hambre y la desnutrición en África, Asia y América Latina, cada vez castigan a más de mil millones de seres humanos, que estos viven por debajo del n ivel de pobreza absoluta. Actualmente, la producción de alimentos es limitada y no alcanza para cubrir las deficiencias de proteínas y lípidos. La yuca es uno de los cu ltivos rustico por su alta tolerancia a la sequía, con bajo costo de producción y con rendimientos aceptables. Por tanto, este cu ltivo requ iere solo de atención mín ima para poder cumplir a cabalidad su cometido.La yuca tiene muchas ventajas, por la facilidad de su empleo en diferentes formas en fresco, en seco y procesado. En seco se puede almacenar por mucho tiempo; aplicándole procesamiento aumentan más aun sus ventajas comparativas. En nuestro país contamos con cu ltivares de yuca tanto precoces como tardíos, lo que nos permitiría cu ltivarla durante todo el año en la selva alta, norte y costa central. De esta manera, tendríamos una producción de forma sosten ida para satisfacer las necesidades de consumo. Cuando cosechamos, una planta de yuca puede ser utilizada casi en su totalidad, las raíces reservantes como fuente de h idratos de carbono (harinas, almidón), las hojas secas como fuente de proteínas (para humanos y an imales) y los estacones como material vegetativo para in iciar una nueva campaña.
Cassava (Man ihot esculenta. Crantz) is one of the most important crops in underdeveloped countries in tropical and subtropical zones as it is a source of cheaper carbohydrates and proteins. Hunger and malnutrition in Africa, Asia and Latin America increasingly punish more than one billion human beings, who live below the level of absolute poverty. Currently, food production is limited and is not enough to cover protein and lipid deficiencies. Cassava is one of the rustic crops due to its high tolerance to drought, low production cost and acceptable yields. Therefore, this crop requires only minimal attention to be able to fully fulfill its mission. Cassava has many advantages, due to the ease of its use in different forms, fresh, dry and processed. Dry it can be stored for a long time; Applying processing increases its comparative advantages even more. In our country we have both early and late cassava cultivars, which would allow us to grow it throughout the year in the high jungle, north and central coast. In this way, we would have sustained production to satisfy consumption needs. When we harvest, a cassava plant can be used almost in its entirety, the storage roots as a source of carbohydrates (flour, starch), the dry leaves as a source of protein (for humans and animals) and the cuttings as material. vegetative to start a new campaign.
