Abstract
Yam tubers (Dioscorea rotandata Poir) were cured at either 30°C, 40°C or uncontrolled ambient conditions in direct sunlight or in a store house.
All curing conditions had similar effects on wound healing of tubers but the rate and thickness of periderm formation were different.
Only tubers cured at 40°C were completely free from mould growth during subsequent storage and these tubers had the overall lowest storage losses, however they sprouted earlier.
Curing tubers at 40°C for as little as 24 hours proved effective.
