Productivity and Nutritional Composition of Sweet Potato Clones

The orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) contains beta carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, which is used to address hunger and blindness in children. Herein lies the need to promote the cultivation and consumption of the OFSP. In this book, twelve clones of the OFSP (Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam.)) were screened to evaluate their yield potentials and nutritional composition in the Jos-Plateau environment. The OFSP clones used in this study showed promising potentials for high yields and nutritional composition in the Jos-Plateau environment.
