Yam growers across major growing areas are being encouraged to increase tuber yield through the application of fertilizer at the recommended rates and periods. Ghana, the leading exporter of yam in Africa, is currently facing the problem of poor tuber storability. Some actors along the food value chain attribute most storage rots to the application of fertilizer by farmers. This study was conducted to investigate in to the claim that fertilizer application has an effect on the shelf life of white yam tubers. Four fertilizer application models were tested on two white yam cultivars, Serwa and TDr95/19177. No fertilizer application served as the control experiment. Healthy- looking white yam tubers of the two cultivars were randomly selected ...
