ABSTRACT
Diosgenin was isolated from the yam samples of Dioscorea
deltoidea collected during May-November; and the data accumulated from the
analysis at random collections from various sites carried out for three years in
different localities. October collection gave 5.5-6% diosgenin as compared with
other periods by summing up the results of three years (1977-80) of the two
localities in the temperate forest of Kaghan and Galis Forest Division. Next
higher yield was observed in the month of August.
