5 Conclusions
Crop yield in general may decrease under plant stress. Plant response under stress may suitably be utilised to
increase
yield of yam. In harsh agro-climatic conditions with severe plant stress, 800 g of yam seed weight is
recommended to farmers for high yield of Elephant-foot-yam with interim harvest of yam prescribed after four
and half months from sprouting, and final harvest at the end of season on plant maturity from replanted stem
structure, leading to high revenue.
