Because yam is a deep-rooted plant, sandy loam with deep soil layer, good drainage and loose fertility should be selected in the planting area. Neutral soil has the best pH value. If the soil is acidic, it is easy to produce branches and nodules, which will affect the yield and quality of roots. Over-alkali, its roots can't grow down sufficiently. Therefore, in the south of China, appropriate amount of lime should be applied to the soil with strong acidity to neutralize the soil acidity.
