tailieunhanh - Evaluation of swamp taro [Colocasia esculenta var. Stoloniferum (L.) Schott] Germplasms on Physiology, yield and quality

A field experiment was conducted at experimental field of College of Agriculture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal, Manipur during 2017-2018. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The treatment consisted of nine germplasms: CAUST-1, CAUST-2, AAUST-1, AAUST-2, AAUST-3, BCST-1, BCST-3, BCST-5 and results of the experiment revealed that among the nine entries of swamp taro, the physiological parameters at 120 days after planting viz., leaf area index (), harvest index (), net assimilation rate ( /day), crop growth rate ( g/m2 /day) and relative growth rate ( g/g/day) were highest in CAUST-1. CAUST-1 exhibited the maximum caudex length (30cm), caudex diameter ( cm) and caudex yield/plot ( kg) while the treatment CAUST2 recorded the maximum number of stolons () and maximum stolon length was recorded from BCST-1(). Maximum stolons weight was recorded from CAUST-2 (). Quality analysis revealed CAUST-1 was the richest source of starch () followed by AAUST-3 ( %), while AAUST-1 registered the maximum dry matter content (). | Evaluation of swamp taro [Colocasia esculenta var.
