Cassava is one of the food crops widely cultivated by farmers in Glugur Rimbun, Sampecita Village. This study aims to compare cassava cultivation techniques, the influence of production factors (seedling area, labor and fertilizer) and to determine the feasibility of cassava farming in Glugur Rimbun land. Cassava plant cultivation is generally carried out traditionally and as is, without utilizing modern planting technology. Cassava plants are not cultivated with intensive care, both in terms of fertilization, watering, weeding or pests and diseases.
