260 - Bury harvested cassava to preserve it before consumption
261 - Make and Use Manioc Flour for use during wet times
262 - Store harvested tubers in a cool dry place to prevent rotting before consumption
263 - Collect and sow seeds to encourage genetic diversity and obtain possible climate resistant traits
264 - Practice tissue culture in the laboratory
265 - Plant several varieties of a single crop in order to continuously select the best and healthiest planting materials
266 - Use physical barriers around gardens to prevent wind-dispersing pest intrusions
267 - Prune kumala leaves to encourage growth of tuber
268 - Prop tilting banana stems with Y stakes to prevent toppling

272 - Use plastic polybags to plant vegetables that are off the ground and cannot be flooded
273 - Build mounds in gardens and plant with vulnerable root crops to keep them above flood waters
274 - Plant crops in raised beds to prevent flooding or excess moisture
