The activities carried out during this period include Island Studies, Characterization of Germplasm, Introduction and Evaluation of cultivars of White Yam (Dioscorea alata) for yield and tolerance to anthracnose, Seed Multiplication, Intercropping, Response to various sources of plant nutrients, Control of Anthracnose and Nematodes and ways to extend dormancy. Since White Yam received much attention until recently, it was suggested to focus research in improving the production of other species of yam i.e. D. rotundata, D. cayenensis and D. trifida. Future research needs of yam in the Caribbean are also highlighted
