A two year trial was conducted at the inland valley of the National Root Crop Research Institute, Umudike during the dry season of 2003/2004 and 2004/2005. The purpose was to evaluate the suitability of five hybrid yam clones of dry season yam production. The yams were planted in manually made ri...
