GGE Biplot Analysis of 12 Dioscorea rotundata Genotypes in Ghana

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2017
To determine the effects of environment and genotypic differences on tuber yield and other related traits, 12 genotypes comprising 9 improved elite clones, two local landraces and 1 improved and released variety were evaluated for tuber yield, response to yam mosaic virus and leaf spot diseases at 16 growing environments.

Effects of Variety and Sett Weights on Sprout Emergence and Seed Tuber Yield in Dioscorea alata L. and Dioscorea rotundata Poir.

Crops
Yam is a staple crop in Africa that is constrained by its low multiplication rate. This results in a short supply of seed tubers, which is a challenge to increased production.

Biodiversity and domestication of yams in West Africa: traditional practices leading to Dioscorea rotundata Poir.

, 2006
The domestication of wild yams is still common practice in West Africa. It also offers one of the few remaining opportunities to understand how farmers use their empirical knowledge to tap the genetic resources of wild plants and create products suitable

PROXIMATE COMPOSITION OF REGIONS OF Dioscorea bulbifera (L.) and Dioscorea rotundata (L.) TUBER DURING STORAGE

International Journal of Agricultural and Veterinary Science
There has been so much speculations about the nutritional quality of yams at different stages of storage. Sometimes tubers at post sprouting stages are crudely rejected for food without scientific evidence. This study was therefore designed to ascertain the proximate composition of two species of yam; Dioscorea bulbifera L.
