Title: Comparative Development of Vine Cuttings and Rooted Tuber Sprouts from Yam (Dioscorea alata L.)1
Abstract: Abstract Four-node vine cuttings of yam (Dioscorea alata L. ) treated with Rootone-F showed higher survival, higher growth rate, and 3 times the number of shoots per plant than 1-node untreated vine cuttings. Survival of rooted tuber sprouts was lower for 5 cm lengths than 12.5 or 20 cm lengths. Rooted tuber sprouts 12.5 cm long initiated more tubers and primary fibrous roots than 4-note vine cuttings treated with rooting hormone.
