Information on organic production of tannia is meagre. Two separate field experiments were conducted
at Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Sreekariyam, Thiruvananthapuram during 2003-2005 to
evaluate the growth and yield response of tannia to organic management. The results clearly indicated
that tannia is more adapted to organic cultivation and has great potential for organic production. In the
first experiment, among the various nutrient management practices, application of FYM @ 12.5 t ha-1
and ash @ 3 t ha-1 favoured plant height, leaf production, number of cormels, cormel yield, mother
corm yield and dry biomass yield of corms and cormels. In the subsequent experiment, organic farming
involving use of organic manures viz., farmyard manure @ 20 t ha-1, green manuring with cowpea to
generate 15-20 t ha-1 of green matter in 45-60 days, neem cake @ 1 t ha-1 and ash @ 2 t ha-1
produced significantly higher cormel yield (11.25 t ha-1) and mother corm yield (22.96 t ha-1).
