Agronomic performance and consumer acceptability of improved water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) varieties in the Republic of Benin by Dansi, M., Loko, Y.L.E., Fakorede, J.G., Agre, A.P., Laly, J., Amegan, A., Ogou, H., Adebola, P.O., Yedomonhan, H., Dansi, A.A.

“…In order to address the challenges of land reduction and climate change, it is crucial to introduce more adapted yam varieties to traditional Beninese agriculture. Water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) varieties are viable options, as they need less soil fertility and yield more than D. rotundata, but have a poor culinary performance. …”
