are usually eaten as pounded yam which is prepared by pealing cut up
yam and boil before pounding them in a wooden mortal to produce a
glutinous dough (pounded yam).
Therefore, this study sought to obtain
more quantitative information on the problem of yam production and to
derive growth parameters that could further be used for modeling of yam
growth.
RESEARCH QUESTION
1. Does lack of storage facilities affect yam production?
2. Do the uncertainties of market price affect yam production in Edo State?
3. Does lack of good road affect the production of yam in Edo State?
4. Is consumer taste a problem facing the farming or production of yam in Edo State?
5. Can the nature of the scarce of supply of yam tuber a problem of producing of yam?
6. Is nutritional value a problem facing the production of yam tuber?

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Declining productivity of yam in Nigeria highlighted the need for a study to determine both the effect of fertilization on yam (Dioscorea spp.) yield andhe best agronomic management options available for stabilizing yam productivity, via the modeling of yam growth and development. This study addressed the above issues by carrying out a research which analyzed the problem of yam production in Nigeria. A questionnaire was administered to elicit information from respondents in the study area. The d ... Continue reading---
