Investigating Critical Levels of Dry Rotting of Yellow Yam (Dioscorea Cayenesis) Planing Material, the Benefits of Disinfesting the Heads of Pratylechus Coffeae and of After-Planing Nematicide Treatments

Several noxious nematodes are associated with yams in Jamaica but Pratylenchus coffea is the only one found infesting yellow yam tubers affected by a dry rot called "burning". There was significantly less bearing plants in plots planted with the heavity dry-rotted undisinfested heads; greatest gross weights of tubers and marketable yams were borne in plots planted with lightly dry-rotted undisinfested heads.
