Additional information
This paper is one of the outputs of a series of DFID funded projects designed to explore ways in which the production and quality of a vitally important root crop in West Africa - yams (Dioscorea rotundata) - could be improved. The research set out in the paper is the basis for a new way of multiplying good quality yam rubbers and is the basis for a large-scale ongoing project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (http://www.iita.org/web/yiifswa/home) designed in part to upscale the technology described in the paper throughout Nigeria and Ghana.
