Abstract in English
The research was carried out in the fields of Akar plain in Tartous
province during two seasons (2013, 2014) to study the effect the three
multiplication methods (Slips as control, Seedling, Cut-seed tuber) on
growth and yield of two locally spread sweet potato varieties. The
experimental design was a randomized complete block with three
replications. Data were analyzed using the statistical program GenStat 12.
