Stimulating Axillary Buds in Yams (Dioscorea SPP)

Experimental Agriculture, 1978
SUMMARYA method is described of inducing many ‘eyes’ on yam tubers to sprout, and of using the sprout-bearing segments as propagules for establishing yam fields. The number of such propagules obtainable from a tuber depends on its size, but the method greatly increases the rate of propagation and holds special promise for both breeding and commercial ...
