Author(s): B. S Dixit, R Banerji, S. P Singh

Genetic improvement in Dioscorea floribunda was made through recycling of clonal selection since 1976 and a wide range of variation in diosgenin content ranging from 2.61 to 6.64 per cent was noticed. However, in 44 per cent of samples it was found to be above 5 per cent. Average diosgenin content in these clones has been found to be the highest.
