Sp_dt_indices_yield_2025_OU_dataset

The data contains tuber yield data for 14 sweetpotato accessions phenotyped under irrigated (control) and drought conditions. The data was generated from field experiments carried out to evaluate the effect of drought and irrigation on the tuber yield of the fourteen sweetpotato accessions. The field experiment was laid in a randomised complete block design in three replicates per treatment. Irrigation was withdrawn at 103 days after planting to simulate drought for 6 weeks while the control was continuously irrigated. The data proffers information on the effect of climate change (drought) on the root -crop sweetpotato
by stating the yield of each accession under conditions of drought and irrigation and helps to identify the drought-tolerant accessions of sweet potato.
