Yam cultivation in dry season was tested in the farmer’s field at inland valley in Niger state, Nigeria.
Water yam (Dioscorea alata) variety TDa 95/00328 had the greater response to the gibberellin inhibitor
prohexadione-calcium (PC). The sprouting period of PC treated tuber was 21 – 27 days at D...

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causes anthracnose, the most severe foliar disease of field-grown water yam (Dioscorea alata). The inheritance of resistance to a moderately virulent (FGS) strain of the pathogen was investigated in crosses between tetraploid D. alata genotypes: TDa 95/00328 (resist...

Two expt. were carried out at CIAT-Palmira to assess maize//yam//cassava intercropping; species were planted alone or in double and triple combinations for a total of 11 treatments. Planting distances of 1.2 x 1.0 m, with furrows spaced at 1 m, were used for all 3 crops in monoculture as well as ...

A multisite trial (6 sites) was carried out to determine the optimum plant populations for one of the most important cropping systems used in the Lorica district (Cordoba, Colombia): maize associated with yam and intercropped with cassava. Plant populations of 1.2 x 1.0, 1.2 x 1.3, and 1.2 x 1.6 ...

The main results of research on different intercropping systems, including tobacco//cassava and yam x maize//cassava, are detailed. When cassava is intercropped with tobacco, tobacco yields are reduced by 24.3 percent but quality characteristics of leaves and no. of leaves/plant/harvest are not a...

Termites are known to cause significant economic losses in yam fields. Therefore, assessing diversity and abundance of termites in yam fields is critical for their control. In this study, we compared the specific richness, abundance, and diversity of functional groups of termite pests in upland a...

To induce sprouting two gibberellin inhibitors, uniconazole-P (UP) and prohexadione-calcium (PC), were applied to foliage of white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata) and water yam (D. alata) 30 days before harvest or to tubers at harvest. The tuber sprouting period was shortened by about 35 days in...
