Figure 7 Growth curve of yam (seed wt. 500 g, undisturbed)
Note: Growth curve of yam with seed weight 500 g, when yam detachment are not made at the time of taking interim growth
readings are shown in Figure 7. Mean and median response curves are also shown. Both show upward trend that is prominent
towards end of the curves. Fluctuation of median curve is more than the mean curve, as median may fluctuate more with less
number of curves
For seed weight 650 g, growth curves are shown in Figure 8, Figure 9, Figure 10. The same phenomenon of
superior status of yam detachment at second interim growth recording is reflected. Figure 9 with second interim
cut show superior response curve for seed weight 650 g.
Figure 8 Growth curve of yam (seed wt. 650 g, cut at 1
st
interim)
Note: Growth curve of yam with seed weight 650 g, when yam is detached at the time of first interim reading shows an upward
trend in the mean and median response curves
Figure 9 Growth curve of yam (seed wt. 650 g, cut at 2
nd
interim)
Note: Growth curve of yam with seed weight 650 g, when yam is detached at the time of second interim reading is shown. The mean
and median response curves both show a higher elevation compared to the previous figure when detachment is made at the time of
first interim reading
