Abstract

Eleven cultivars of elephant foot yam were evaluated and variability was observed at monthly intervals within the cultivars. In cv. NDA-9 and AC-28 amount of dry was more at 100 and 250 DAP respectively. The TSS was higher in cultivar NDA-9 and BCA-5 and BCA-2 and total sugar in BCA-5 and BCA-2.The range of titrable acidity was 0.064-0.160% at different stages during growth and development. Significant increase was in dry weight, total soluble solids, total sugar and titrable acidity during growth and development period at monthly intervals.
