Abstract: Low soil organic matter content appears to be one of the main causes of tannia and yam problems in the West Indies. Among other methods of organic fertilization, the use of sewage sludge seems of most interest. Experiments conducted by INRA (Guadeloupe) establish its value against Tannia disease, for vegetative propagation and for flowering intensity of yams.
