Method of Propagation: - SS1 Agriculture Lesson Note

Yam: Yam is primarily propagated through the use of whole tubers or by planting vine cuttings. Whole tubers are cut into smaller pieces, each containing at least one bud or "eye." These pieces are then planted in prepared beds or mounds.

Cassava: Cassava is propagated through stem cuttings. Cuttings from mature stems, typically around 20-30 cm in length, are planted directly into the soil. The cuttings should have at least one bud, which is where new growth will emerge.

Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes are propagated using "slips." Slips are small plantlets that grow from sprouts on the sweet potato's surface. These slips are carefully removed and planted directly into the soil.
