The project Poverty Alleviation and Enhanced Food Availability in West Africa through Improved Yam Technologies proposed to improve yam production in five West African countries (Nigeria, Bénin, Togo, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire) during the period from 2000 to 2003. A recognized need for productive, sta...

White or Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata), grown for its underground tubers, is an important food in West Africa. Progress in yam breeding is constrained by variable flowering behaviour, making hybridization difficult. Yam clones may be dioecious, monoecious or hermaphrodite with variable sex rat...

Soil physicochemical properties were determined for soils under cropland and forest at the headquarters of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Ibadan, Southwestern Nigeria to examine the 30-year effects of different land use on the fertility of five soil series toposequences un...

Major upland soils in the humid and sub humid zones of West Africa consist of low activity clays (LAC) Alfisols, Ultisols and Oxisols. Alfisols which are less leached and have a high base saturation are more dominant in the sub-humid zone. Chemically they are more fertile, but they have a low str...

This paper discusses the strategic use of existing genetic diversity in addressing the constraints faced by yam (Dioscorea sp.) production in Bénin, including pest and disease pressure, poor soil and changing climate. Participatory strategies that have been developed to preserve their diversity i...
