  Look at the cassava tubers this farmer is holding. You can tell it is not fully matured.
  The weed-killer is even killing mushrooms, snails, etc. and fishes in the rivers after it washes downstream after rain.

  Is the picture showing the actual new variety of cassava since the yield looks rather sparse! Hardly any flesh on those roots!! The old cassava I knew certainly were bulkier than that.
