	Plant Genetic Resources Newsletter - Cultivation and use of African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) in the Volta ...
		The African yam bean is grown in West Africa, particularly in Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Togo (Porter 1992).
		Yam is planted first, on top of the mound, followed by two cuttings of cassava stem on the lower contours of the mound, one on either side.
		The African yam bean is cultivated in the middle and northern sectors of the study area.

	Bean
		Bean is a common name for large plant seeds of several genera of leguminosae (English: leguminous, legumes), used for food or feed.
		Beans naturally succeed a culmiferous crop, and we believe it is not of much importance which of the varieties is followed, provided the ground be in decent order, and not worn out by the previous crop.
		In ancient Greece and Rome, beans were used in voting (a white bean meant yes and a fl bean meant no) and as a food for the dead, such as during the annual Lemuria festival.

		The yam bean, scientifically classified as Pachyrhizus erosus (L.) and P tuberosus (Lam.), is also called jicama, Mexican yam bean, ahipa, and Mexican water chestnut.
		The yam bean is a short-day plant, and is a high-protein, low fat dietary staple in many areas.
		Because the yam bean is a legume, it fixes nitrogen and produces pods and seeds.
