I am currently studying Plant Breeding and Seed Technology (Post Graduate Diploma) at the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta and I am looking at working on "Comparative Study of Phenotypic Expression of White Yam Varieties under Aeroponics Condition".

I am expected to work with 5 rotundata varieties considering the following:

  • number of leaves - collected weekly for 12 weeks,
  • leaf length and width - collected weekly for 12 weeks,
  • petiole length - the distance between the stem and leaf,
  • tuber weight - at week 12,
  • tuber length per plant - at week 12,
  • tuber circumference - at week 12,
  • length of stem - collected weekly for 12 weeks,
  • seed yam viability test
    • days to emergence,
    • germination rate,
    • seedling length -
    • shoot and root,
    • seedling vigour
