Abstract

The aim of this work was to know yield characteristics of Mimoso, Caramujo, Roxo, Pezão and Florida, yam clones under environmental conditions in Dourados-MS. The results regarding to yield characteristics showed that it has been worked with two groups of clones: one group constituted by Caramujo and Pezão that produces rizhomes and tubers and the other one that produces only rizhomes. As far as rizhomes shape is concerned, Florida and Mimoso clones produced eggshape of regular conformation rizhomes. Total reached productivity showed that Caramujo was the most productive (38.077 t.ha-1) and Mimoso the least (19.187 t.ha-1). Caramujo tubers presented round shape what induces to make confusion with Taro. In quantitative terms, Caramujo produced 235.88% (24.217 t.ha-1) more tubers than Pezão.

KEY-WORDS: Yam (Dioscorea sp.); productivity; rizhomes; tubers.
