Root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) enhances nutrient acquisition by plants and could benefit the production of yam (Dioscorea spp.). The variation in AM colonization in yam genotypes was evaluated in two experiments at four locations (Ibadan, Onne, Abuja and Ubiaja) in different agro...

Genetic variation and genotype x environment interaction in yams (Dioscorea spp.) for root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhiza
Yield decline in yam may not only be due to soil nutrient depletion but also to the activity of soilmicroflora. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis helps in plant nutrition but may be affected bythe application of fertilizer. The effects of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertil...

The diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in soils under a yam cropping system in four agroecologies of Nigeria was investigated. Soil samples were collected from yam fields at Onne (humid forest, high rainfall area), Ibadan (derived savanna), Abuja (Guinea savanna) and Ubiaja (humid for...
