Cassava plants grow better in the rainy season compared to the hot and cool seasons. Younger plants have higher photosynthesis rates than older ones. Solar radiation limits photosynthesis, especially in the rainy season. The study provides information for developing cassava plants that can photosynthesize better in challenging conditions.
