Cassava plants have mosaic disease.

Up to now, most of the cassava plants are in the stage of good growth and development. However, through field inspection, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Ngoc Lac district has discovered that the whole district has 32.6 hectares of cassava infected with mosaic disease, concentrated in Kien Tho, Phuc Thinh, and Nguyet An communes. When cassava is infected with mosaic disease, the young leaves curl up, wrinkle, and have light yellow spots.
