      abstract = {A series of studies were conducted to evaluate the effects  of varying rates of nitrogen fertilizer and applied  irrigation, on yam production. Yam was grown in field  trials with nitrogen applied at rates of 0, 100, 200 and  300 kg/ha. The application of nitrogen did not affect the  production of yam tubers from either of two cultivars  ('Binugas' and 'Gunung'). Yields were similar for both  cultivars at all nitrogen levels. The results of another  study showed that nitrogen applied to 'Gunung' at rates of  0, 50, 100 and 150 kg/ha significantly affected yield and  dry matter production. Yam production decreased linearly as  nitrogen rates increased. Two trials were conducted to  evaluate the effect of varying irrigation rates (rain-fed  and soil moisture maintained at 20,40 and 60 kPa) on the  production of 'Binugas' yams. The application of irrigation  quadratically decreased the dry matter content of the yam  tubers, in both trials.},
