Yam was intercropped with maize, okra, and sweet potato and subjected to various periods of weed interference and weed-free regimes. The field trials were conducted for two cropping seasons at the research farm of the National Root Crops Institute, Umudike, Nigeria, 5° 29' N latitude and 7° 32' E...

Two similar experiments are described in which the effects of different mulching materials and staking on the growth, development and yield of white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) Minisetts were studied. One white yam cultivar TDR 131 was used and the treatments were: black and white embossed polyethy...
