Datasets from fertilized improved and local varieties of cassava grown in the highlands of South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo.

ABSTRACT: The use of mineral fertilizer and organic inputs with an improved and local variety of cassava allows (i) to identify nutrient limitations to cassava production, (ii) to investigate the effects of variety and combined application of mineral and organic inputs on cassava growth and yield and (iii) to evaluate the profitability of the improved variety and fertilizer use in cassava production. Data on growth, yield and yield components of an improved and local variety of cassava, economic analysis, soil and weather, collected during two growing cycles of cassava in farmer's fields in the highlands of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) are presented. The data complement the recently published paper "Increased cassava growth and yields through improved variety use and fertilizer applic
