Three stake positions T1 = horizontal, T2 = inclined (45 °) and T3 = vertical were evaluated with the objective of knowing the effect of growth, development and fresh roots yield. Sowing was carried out on June 6, 2012 in Medellin de Bravo, Veracruz, Mexico. Plant material used was MMEXV3 genotype under a randomized block design with three replications. Experimental plot was five rows of five meters length and row and plant distances of one meter each one (30 plants per treatment and replication). Plant height (m), stem diameter (mm), total and commercial root number, and total yield (t·ha-1) were measured. At 240 days after sowing, cutting sowed at inclined position had the higher plant height (3,02 m) and horizontal cuttings only reached 2,84 m. Total and commercial roots number were not affected by cutting position. For total yield did not have statistical differences although cutting sowed at inclined position (T2) was superior numerically at 1.7 t·ha-1 to horizontal position (T1). Therefore cutting sowed at incline position was the best treatment for fresh root production of cassava.
