The effects of population density and planting methods on the growth and yield of upland taro were studied. Leaf area per plant decreased whereas leaf area index (LAI) increased as population density increased. As LAI increased up to 4.75, the relative corm yields increased in all treatments. The main corm yield per plant decreased as plant populations increased. However, the total corm yield per unit area increased as population density increased. The hole planting method gave higher leaf area per plant at all population levels, yield per plant, and total yield per uni1046t area as compared to the flat met
