Influence of different tuber weight on growth parameters of greater yam under Udaipur region


Author(s): Mithlesh Kumari Meena and RS Rathore

Abstract: The present investigation was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of different weight of tuber to improving of growth and yield of greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.) under Udaipur region. The study was carried out at Horticulture Farm, Department of Horticulture, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur during June, 2017 to March 2018. The experiment were comprising with different weight of tubers (25g, 50g, 75g, 100g, 125g, 150g, 175g, 200g, 225g and 250g) and three replications. The vegetative growth parameters were significantly influenced by different weight of tubers. Seven parameters of growth namelydays to sprouting maximum speed of emergence, no. of leaves per vine after four months, vine length after four months, girth of vines after four months were observed. The data were collected to identify the growth rate of tubers. The results revealed that the highest tuber weight (250gm) showed the maximum growth performance days to sprouting, speed of emergence, no. of leaves per vine after four months, vine length after four months, girth of vines after four months, while sprouting percentage (50g,100g) and survival percentage (225g) also significantly affected by tuber weight. As a conclusion, largest tuber weight of yam showed great potential to cultivate larger yam seed which may be used for larger yam production or direct consumption.
