SUMMARYGreater yam (Dioscorea alata), a popular crop in India, is cultivated widely in Orissa state, India. In spite of the availability of several improved varieties, farmers preferred the local landraces. An investigation was carried out to identify whether the varietal preferences of yam farmers in two production systems, subsistence and commercial, were different. While the subsistence farmers demanded the yam varieties adaptable to a wide range of soils, the commercial farmers preferred the anthracnose-resistant cultivars. This study demonstrated that the farmers' varietal preferences were highly influenced by the production systems. Identifying the convergence/divergence of varietal preferences across production systems can help breeders to develop the high impact varieties.

Greater Yam

Ten varieties of the winged-stemmed yam, Dioscorea alata, which represent the best of a large collection from India to the islands of the Pacific, are described. These yams combine favorable field growth characteristics with good yields and suitable kitchen qualities. They are now being distributed by the Mayagüez Institute of Tropical Agriculture and should enrich the varietal base and replace lesser varieties in Puerto Rico and other areas of the tropics.
