We tested several techniques to increase the multiplication ratio in yams, and all showed promise, although the degree varied according to cultivar. Seed yam production from true seed gave the highest yield per unit area. The use of microsett propagation with the aid of phytohormones increased the multiplication ratio from the traditional 1:4 to 1:90, and the minisett technique with plastic mulch showed the greatest potential for rapid multiplication at the farm level. Plastic mulch had no adverse effect on the yams produced.
