The work aimed to evaluate the influence of potassium rates on the yield of yam (Dioscorea cayennensis) and determine your rate for the productivity of commercial tubers. The experiment was conducted at the Federal University of Paraíba, in Areia-PB, in the period from February to December 2010. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks with six treatments comprise the doses of 0; 50; 100; 150; 200 and 250 kg ha-1 of potassium, in four repetitions. Were evaluated the average mass of commercial tubers, productivity of commercial tubers, percentage of tubers classified as first, the leaf content of potassium in the leaves and the maximum rate of economic efficiency. The maximum average mass of commercial tubers was 2.60 kg, obtained at rate of 126 kg ha-1 of potassium. The rate of 189 kg ha-1 of potassium was responsible for maximum productivity commercial of 17.7 ha-1 t of tubers. The maximum percentage of tubers classified as first was 88%, achieved at a rate of 171 kg ha-1 of potassium. The maximum content of potassium in the leaves of yam was 22.3 g kg-1 obtained at a rate of 155 kg ha-1 of potassium. The maximum rate of economic efficiency of potassium for commercial productivity of tubers was de184 kg ha-1.
