Abstract: Bayot, Ariel J., Cavite State University, Office of the Graduate School, March 1998. Rooting and Growth Responses of Vine Cuttings of Yam (Dioscorea alata Linn.) to Different Propagating Media and Types of Cuttings. Major Adviser: Dr. Julio G. Alava. The study was conducted primarily to evaluate the possibility of using yam vine cuttings as planting materials as substitute source for the traditional tuber setts, and to investigate the effect of the different propagating media on the rooting and growth performance of yam cuttings. It was observed that cuttings obtained from the middle (C2) and basal (C3) portions of the lateral vine performed significantly better than those representing the tip (CD section. The basal Gene cutting produced the highest in terms of survival percentage with 78.60%, the earliest in terms of root initiation with 7.58 days, the longest root length with 61.95 cm and likewise with the highest number of photosynthetically active leaves with 1.99. While the middle vine cuttings produced the highest number of roots formed with 3.32 and the longest shoot length with 21.13 cm. The base and middle vine cuttings revealed no significant difference from each other. On the other hand, significant differences were also noted from the different propagating media. It was observed that garden soil (PD led the other propagating media used in this experiment. It was followed by the combination of PI + P2 + (Pa), then river sand (PD and last was the coconut sawdust (PD. This pattern of observation was noted in ail the parameters evaluated.The results of this study proved the possibility of using the non-edible vine yam for cutting as a source of propagating or planting materials aside from the traditional tuber setts. Furthermore, the study also indicated that the middle and basal portions (apparently the mature parts) of the lateral line are best to use as cutting rather than the tip or softwood section. Morocco, the yam line cuttings could root readily in any propagating medium provided that proper care and management is due consideration. In the same manner, careful and close supervision is suggested if the cuttings are maintained under controlled condition
