Abstract: A field experiment was carried out, with a view to study the Response of Greater Yam (Dioscorea alata L.) to different growing conditions at Vegetable Research Scheme, Regional Horticultural Research Station of the Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India during 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. The experiment was conducted in Large Plot; analysis as CRD with factorial concept (FCRD) with three repetitions which included three growing conditions (G1: Naturally Ventilated Poly house, G2: Net house and G3: Open field ),three planting distance (D1: 60 cm x 60 cm, D2: 60 cm x 45 cm and D3: 90 cm x 90 cm) and two varieties (V1: Round type and V2: Long type). The results revealed that higher values for growth characters namely, number of tillers at harvest, vine length at harvest and fresh weight tuber and yield characters viz., tuber girth, tuber length and tuber yield 1000 m-2 were found significant in Naturally Ventilated Poly house on pooled analysis basis.
