Abstract

Effect of NPK on the ruber yield of Dioscorea deltoides showed that the interaction KxN, NxP, KxNxP were significant, and the maximum tuber yield/ha. was obtained with the low level of nitrogen and high level of potash and phosphorus. There was not much significant difference in the percentage of diosgenin.
