Aims: To study yam propagation and seed yam tuber production in aeroponics system.Study Design: The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block designand treatments were replicated three times.Place of Study: This experiment was carried out at the International Institute of TropicalAgriculture Headquarters at Ibadan in Nigeria.Methodology: The experiment tested fresh vine cuttings of five yam genotypes of twospecies in an aeroponics system. Three genotypes of Dioscorea rotundata (TDr 89/02475,TDr 89/02665 and TDr 95/18544) and two yam genotypes of D. alata (TDa 98/01176 andTDa 291) were evaluated.Results: Vines of both D. rotundata and D. alata rooted within 2 weeks in aeroponicssystem. The rooting of vine cuttings varied signif...
