Effect of time of harvest of yam tubers on selected food quality characteristics was investigated to determine when yam tuber is due for harvesting. Setts from five land race varieties of white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) at their post-dormant stage were planted at the beginning of the rainy season...

L'igname constitue un aliment de base des populations du Nord-est, du centre et de I'Est de la c6te d,lvoire.Elle occupe une place de choix parmi les cultures vivridres du pays. Compte tenu de son importance, lepresent travail est consacr6 d la revue bibliographique des travaux scientifiques r6al...

Yam is the staple food for populations from the Noth-east, Centre and East of Cote d'lvoire. It plays an important role in subsistence cropping in the country. As a result, the present work is devoted to an extensive review of the literature on scientific data gathered on this crop, notably on so...

A reliable means to induce sprouting in dormant seed tubers of yams (Dioscorea species) is required to enhance flexibility in planting date and rate of propagation of the crop. Experiments were conducted to assess the potential of two gibberellin inhibitors, Uniconazole-P and Prohexadione-calcium...
