| Dioscorea alata plant |
Let’s write something regarding Dioscorea alata. Hurm..since a few months ago I was done this research. It is all about Dioscorea alata. In area of Terengganu and Kelantan, this type of starchy tuber is called ubi badak or ubi besar. However there are some other name such as Payang nasi, payang jawa, and also ubi paha kerbau. For me, all those names are related to the size of the tuber itself. According to farmers, the weight of tuber can be reach as 16 kg per tuber

| During collection |
During collection, we have found the largest tuber is weighing about 9.2 kg. It was found in Besut where we bought it at the road stall.

Then I leave the tubers for about one month in the store room. After that I transfer the tubers into the polybag which is have soil:sand:organic matter.
