Yams, an important tropical crop, provide some 18 million tons of food a year in West Africa alone. These papers treat plant improvement, agronomic studies and taxonomy, plant protection, post-harvest biology and technology, economics of production, and mechanization.
Biodiversity and Domestication of Yams in West Africa
Author: Roland Dumont
Publisher: Editions Quae
ISBN: 9782876146327
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
A study of yam domestication practices among smallholders has provided an insight into how farmers exploit wild plant genetic resources so as to adapt them to agriculture. This book describes the domestication operations leading to Dioscorea rotundata yams in Africa. The biodiversity of these yams and of their wild relatives is investigated, and the authors put forward hypotheses to explain the phenotypic changes resulting from smallholder practices. These hypotheses could be possible lines of research for breeders.
