Can Yam Be Planted In September And October Period?

I have been hearing this talk from my colleagues at work that yam is best planted in the 10th month, this is quite a contrary believe to what I’ve been able to learn so far, so i’d like a second opinion about this. I’m in Kwara State, Nigeria

    September and October is still the rainy period, however, yam you planted that time may not get off the ground before the dry season sets in. And once the dry season hits it, every growth will be suspended and the crop will die off.

    But if the area is river line area or swampy land where there is high water retention, then planting yam on October or September may be a good idea.
