Abstract
An on-farm yam experiment was conducted to confirm the agro-climatic potential of Abeokuta, South-western Nigeria for three white yam varieties (Dioscorea rotundata). Three varieties of yam (Efuru, Ise-osi and Oniyere) was selected and related to crop growth and yield. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design in three replicate. The result showed that all yam varieties evaluated were suitable for planting in the area. However, Efuru and Ise-osi syn- chronized perfectly with the pattern of Actual Water Availability and produced good vegetative growth with Leaf Area Index LAI, of 1.08 and 0.91 thereby leading to high tuber yield of 12 tonnes ha -1 and 11.64 tonnes ha -1 , respectively. Oniyere had LAI of 0.44 resulting in a lower tuber yield of 11.53 tonnes ha -1 .
在尼日利亚西南部的Abeokuta进行了一项田间山药试验，以确定三种白色山药品种(Dioscorea rotundata)的农业气候潜力。选择了三个山药品种(Efuru, Ise-osi和Oniyere)，它们与作物生长和产量有关。试验采用随机完全区组设计，设3个重复。结果表明，评价的山药品种均适合在该区种植。而埃富鲁和伊泽西与实际水分有效度完全同步，叶面积指数LAI分别为1.08和0.91，营养生长良好，块茎产量分别为12 t ha -1和11.64 t ha -1。Oniyere的LAI为0.44，导致块茎产量较低，为11.53吨/公顷。
