Answer Details
Golden brown lesions on peeled yam tuber indicate infection by fungi. Fungal infections in yam tubers can lead to various postharvest losses. The fungi penetrate the yam skin, and lesions or spots appear on the surface of the yam tuber. These lesions can develop into a sunken, dark, and dry rot that can spread throughout the yam. Golden brown lesions can be caused by several types of fungi, including Fusarium and Aspergillus species.
