No much techniques in planting, just get your soil prepared, a sandy loamy, always advisable to get a wide land, you cant be planting cassava on a small piece of land.
cassava also embraces mixed cropping, meaning while you plant your cassava you can add numerous crops alongside, good examples are maize,beans, melon, potatoes.
I need to add that cassava are tubers crop, they grow and develop right inside the soil, and it will take a year or more depending on the specie, before being harvested.
