This article describes the design and performance of tools for digging cassava grown in mineral soils. This prototype tool was designed and developed by MARDI. The cultivation of cassava in mineral soils in the traditional way requires a lot of labor. Most of the labor is needed to dig the tubers. As the shortage of agricultural labor supply increased, a low -cost tool was needed for this work.
