- Intervention effect Ex-situ mulches significantly increased soil pH, nitrogen and organic matter in yam fields compared with initial contents.
- Intervention effect Ex-situ mulches significantly increased calcium and E.C.E.C levels in yam fields compared with initial contents.
- Intervention effect M. oleifera mulch gave higher total nitrogen and organic matter than the P. maximum and C. odorata mulches.
- Intervention effect M. oleifera produced the highest yam tuber yields.
- Intervention effect M. oleifera mulch gave a yam yield decline of 19.17%, less than under C. odorata mulch.
- Observation C. odorata mulch gave a yam yield decline of 31.53%.
- Observation P. maximum mulch gave a yam yield decline of 48.20%.
