| Summary: | Cocoyam cultivation in the eastern and western regions of Nigeria is described. Cocoyam is generally grown on upland, well drained, fertile soils. Mixed cropping with maize and yam is common. Cocoyam appears early in the yearly crop rotation and is often followed by cassava. Labour utilization

Economically it is an attractive crop. |
