Abstract/Description: | Considerable genetic diversity exists among the tropical tuber crops for plant type, morphological and physiological characteristics, reactions to diseases and pests, adaptability and distribution. The tropical tuber crops play a vital part in the diet of the tribal people. They are being cultivated mainly for food, poultry and piggery feed and for therapeutic purposes, although in a primitive way. The industrial application of tuber crops grown here is not well known. Imparting knowledge on the various aspects of tropical tuber crops cultivation such as modern agro-techniques, propagation techniques, high yielding varieties, nutritional value and value addition assumes significance. |
Description: | Tropical Tuber crops such as cassava, sweet potato, yams, edible aroids, elephant foot yam, taro and tannia are the major sources of dietary energy, feeding billions of people across the globe. The north eastern region of India covering seven states such as Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura are one of the major hotspots of biodiversity known for enormous genetic diversity of tuber crops. Considerable genetic diversity exists among the tropical tuber crops for plant type, morphological and physiological characteristics, reactions to diseases and pests, adaptability and distribution. The tropical tuber crops play a vital part in the diet of the tribal people. They are being cultivated mainly for food, poultry and piggery feed and for therapeutic purposes, although in a primitive way. The industrial application of tuber crops grown here is not well known. Imparting knowledge on the various aspects of tropical tuber crops cultivation such as modern agro-techniques, propagation techniques, high yielding varieties, nutritional value and value addition assumes significance. Hence, this technical bulletin entitled ‘Genetic resources, agro-techniques, value addition and utilisation in tropical tuber crops: current prospects for North Eastern states in India’ was prepared to provide required information for the benefit of tuber crop growers, processing Industries and consumers. |
