Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A series of experiments on the performance of potato yam on existing homestead trees were conducted in some agoro-ecological zones (AEZ) of Bangladesh during 1996 to 2000. The principal objective of the study was to find out suitable support trees for Potato Yam (Dioscorea bulbiera) production. In most cases, it has been observed that Ziga (Odina woodein), Drumstick (Moringa olefera) and Sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo) are suitable tree species for yam production.

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Yam

Objectives:

To determine compatibility of yam with existing homestead tree species and to select suitable support species for potato yam.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Farming Systems Research and Development (FSRD) sites viz. Goyeshpur (Pabna), Chabbish Nagar (Rajshahi), Narikeli (Jamalpur) and Multilocation Test (MLn sites Melandah, Sherpur of Jamalpur; Fatickchari, Satkaniya and Cox's Bazar of Chittagong. The experiments were conducted during 1998-99 to 1999-2000. Different tree species were selected as support for yam

Achievement/Findings:

From the above result it is clear that potato yam may be grown on the support of existing homestead trees. An additional vegetable may be harvested during the peak shortage period. Some allelopathic study should be conducted to observe the negative effect of tree species due to the additional incorporation of Potato yam.
