dc.descriptionCocoyam cultivation in the eastern and western regions of Nigeria is described. Cocoyam is generally grown on upland, well drained, fertile soils. Mixed cropping with maize and yam is common. Cocoyam appears early in the yearly crop rotation and is often followed by cassava. Labour utilization for cocoyam is estimated to be lower than that for cassava for cultivation as well as for preparation. Economically it is an attractive crop.
