Standard Operating Procedure for Site Selection and Field Layout

Site selection and field layout are critical aspects of ensuring quality data from phenotyping and breeding trials for optimum performance. Yam plants generally require plain, well-drained-loam and fertile soil. The trial site selection should consider plot history, fallow duration, topography and as much as possible to provide near "ideal or perfect" conditions for the plants to express their genetic potential for the intended trial purpose and objectives. Site selection could be carried out either in designated research stations (on-station), or farmers' fields. Yam is usually planted on ridges, heaps or mounds.
