Yam is a labor-intensive and weed-sensitive food crop. The labor-intensive nature of the yam means that the production process requires the attention of the farmer all year round. However, the dwindling labor situation and the proliferation of weeds have forced farmers to think of modern ways of controlling weeds on their farms, that is, the adoption of chemical (herbicides) weed control. Even though the adoption of these chemicals has no doubt brought relief to the farmers and has resulted in increased yam production over the years, it has also brought in its wake, negative externalities of environmental pollution, human health effects, and food quality issues. The study was thus designed to investigate how yam is produced, the human and environmental health effects of how yam is produced, and food quality effects of how yam is produced. This was done through literature review, and field and laboratory experiments. It was revealed that, in recent years, new innovations have been introduced in yam production, the manner in which farmers handle herbicides in their yam production process exposes them to high doses of pesticides, thereby endangering their lives. The study findings also suggest that the use of herbicides in yam production does not affect the quality of the yam.

Excerpt from Cultivation of the True Yams in the Gulf Region The tubers of the largest varieties sometimes attain great size, 100 pounds or more, especially when the climatic conditions are such as to permit growth without serious interruption for a season greater than the normal length. The greater yam is the most im portant as well as the most widely distributed of the six species which have been mentioned. It is this yam that has been most widely tested in the southern United States and which has thus far shown the greatest adaptability for cultivation in Florida and other sections of the South Atlantic and Gulf regions. Besides producing larger tubers than the other yams, this species exists in a greater number of varieties. Although a long season, 8 to 10 months, is required for the development of a good crop, yet.in one or another of its varieties the greater yam is adapted to a rather wide range of cultural conditions. It is believed that in favorable situations some varieties can be successfully grown, at least for home use, in the coast regions from Galveston, Tex, to Charleston, S. C., and possibly in parts of southern California. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Root vegetables are the sections of underground plants that are harvested and consumed by humans for their nutritional value. They are found in a wide variety of plant species. Even though botany draws a distinction between real roots and non-roots, the term “root vegetable” refers to both kinds in the context of agriculture and cuisine, despite botany classifying genuine roots as separate from non-roots. Root vegetables are often storage organs that store energy in the form of carbohydrates. This book explores recent developments in root vegetable research against the background of current and impending environmental change.

Dioscorea species, commonly known as yams, are tuberous plants that constitute a major staple food in many parts of Africa, South East Asia, Latin America and the South Pacific. Yams are cultivated in about 50 mainly tropical countries, and the world annual production of edible tubers is around 73 million tonnes. This book evaluates the current state of knowledge about yams, and how this knowledge affects practices in production, cultivation and postharvest technology. Dioscorea is a diverse genus in terms of its geographical origin, domestication, morphology, chemistry and breeding. Therefore, besides concentrating on the dozen or so species that are used as major food crops, the book examines species that have limited commercial or domestic value at present, but have the potential in future to contribute to the production and utilization of this crop.

Excerpt from Yam Culture in Porto Rico The yam, though very resistant to severe drought, requires a heavy rainfall for its best production. The plant does not have an ex tensive root system, nor roots that work deep into the earth, yet it secures sufficient moisture to carry it through long rainless periods. This is Observed along the southern and western parts Of Porto Rico, where the vines make a moderate growth and Show no effect from a drought which injures other vegetation. In preparing the land for planting care should be taken to bring the soil into good mechanical condition. Substantial ridges or hills Should be made, to protect against excessive soil moisture and to secure good aeration of the soil. An excess Of water in the soil invariably results in a crop of poorly developed roots. The deep-rooted varieties when grown in heavy unloosened soil are rather angular and irregular in shape, and the production is small.
