Sprouting and yield of yam (Diocorea spp.) minisetts in relation to sett size, soil moisture and agroecology
Seed tuber production of Dioscorea rotundata using the minisett technique was tested on-farm and on-station in different agro-ecological zones in Nigeria. A lower sprouting rate of minisetts was observed in the southern Guinea savanna than in the tropical forest zone. Sprouting and tuber yield in di...
