Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is an important root crop in the humid tropics and a valuable source of essential mineral nutrients. In the presented study, we compared the mineral compositions of four main parts of taro corm: the upper, marginal, central and lower (basal) parts. The freeze-dried taro samples were analysed for eleven minerals (K, P, Mg, Ca, Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu, Cd, Pb and Cr). The upper ...

Nutrient status in gladiolus corms were assessed following GA3 treatment and number of bud corm (cut as well whole corm). The experiment was laid out randomized block design involve factorial combination with three replications. Result revealed that 5 200 ppm showed maximum (10.99% 9.24%) nitrogen uptake whereas phosphorus accumulation (17.26% 21.88%) recorded 6 gave (11.93% 15.87%) potassium c...

The field experiment was conducted to elicit information on the yield and nutrient uptake of elephant foot yam [Amorphophallus paeoniflorins (Dennest.) Nicolson] under fertigation at orchard, Department Vegetable Crops, TNAU, Coimbatore during year 2012-2013. laid out in randomized block design with three replications. growth attributes viz., plant height, canopy spread, leaf area, pseudo stem ...

Field experiment was conducted at Akwa Ibom State University teaching and research farm during the 2020 2021 cropping seasons to evaluate growth yield of cocoyam on varying rates organic manure in a based-intercropping system Obio Akpa, Nigeria. Experiment laid out randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments were four – PM 0 t/ha, 2.5 5.0 7.5 t/ha) crop mixtures - Sole ...

number of dead corms per plant by up to 93% and decreases living corm mass by up to 29% (Peters, 1958). Cultivated timothy (Phleum pratense L.) is an important grass for Harvesting frequently, up to three or four cuts per year, hay production in temperate North America. It is underutilized in and season-long competition in a timothy–alfalfa (Medmanagement-intensive rotational grazing systems be...
