The AMMI model combines regular analysis of variance for additive main effects with principal component analysis for multiplicative structure within the interaction. It also improves the accuracy of crop yield estimates and selects genotypes with highest yields. Despite knowledge of the model, po...
Le modèle AMMI combine l’analyse régulière de la variance pour les principaux effets additifs avec une analyse des composantes principales avec une structure d’intéraction multiplicative. Il améliore aussi l’estimation des rendements et la sélection des génotypes à haut rendement. En dépit de la ...

Analysis of yam yields using the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model
The response of yam (Dioscorea) cultivars to artificial and natural infections with minisett rot pathogens was investigated. None of the 20 yam cultivars were resistant to Sclerotium rolfsii [Corticium rolfsii] or Trichoderma longibrachyatum. Cultivars TDa 84/093, 85/236, 85/257, TDr 608, 745, 81...

A collection of 89 water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) accessions from Benin, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Togo was assessed for genetic diversity using thirteen microsatellite loci. These 89 are some of the D. alata accessions conserved by the Inte...

Seed tuber production of Dioscorea rotundata using the minisett technique was tested on-farm and on-station in different agro-ecological zones in Nigeria. A lower sprouting rate of minisetts was observed in the southern Guinea savanna than in the tropical forest zone. Sprouting and tuber yield in...
