Nwachukwu, E.C.Ikeorgu, J.Asiedu, Robert[Multilocational evaluation of newly developed white yam hybrid genotype]Multilocational evaluation of newly developed white yam hybrid genotype

Yam (Dioscorea sp.) is an extremely important delicacy in Cameroon, with some estimated 45,215 hectares devoted to it, and corresponding annual production of 275,101 metric tons. Production is constrained by several factors including the limited availability and cost of planting material, as well...

Production of improved water yam (Dioscorea alata) genotypes that are suitable for the preparation of amala (a popular darkish Nigerian food) would likely enhance the economic importance of the crop in Nigeria. Fermented flour (oven dried and sun dried) made from tubers of eight new improved D.al...

A two year trial was conducted at the inland valley of the National Root Crop Research Institute, Umudike during the dry season of 2003/2004 and 2004/2005. The purpose was to evaluate the suitability of five hybrid yam clones of dry season yam production. The yams were planted in manually made ri...

A survey was conducted to assess the extent of women farmer's involvement in seed yam production in Abia State, Nigeria. Data were collected using intensive, schedule. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistic. The results show that the mean age of the respondents was 47.7 year...

Tuber of most varieties of white Guinea yam, Dioscorea rotundata Poir., produce a single sprout in the proximal region after the break dormancy. The location and pattern of sprout formation on intact tubers of a multiple sprouting variety, Pepa were studied. Only 0.4% of the tubers had a single s...

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is prevalent in most developing countries. Increasing provitamin A carotenoid content in staple crops such as yam, maize and cassava can minimize this deficiency. Yam (Dioscorea species) is a major staple food in many tropical and subtropical countries. Despite its wide...

Water yam (Dioscorea alata) flour was processed using standard wet milling procedure prior to the extrusion process, which led to the determination of extrudate properties of the flours. A single-screw extruder (DCE 330, NJ) was used in evaluating the extrudate properties, which included torque, ...
