The format differs from the first edition in several respects. Most obvious is the use of a standard set of headings for each entry, with each being included even whore no Information was available to IBPGR. It is hoped that there will be food-back to IBPCR from the users t*o fill in those Saps. Individual readers may also wish to treat their directory as a "working copy" by fiiling in information as it becomes available to them. Regarding the crops included in this directory, emphasis has been placid on the stsple crops of aroids, cassava, potato, sweet potato and yams. Additionally, a catch-all section called 'others' was included to cover other root crops of local importance, such as the Andean root crops (nca, ulluca, etc.), and other root crops of minor importance. Yam-bean is Included, although strictly speaking it would belong in the legume directory, whilst winged bean is not included hoer but In the legume directory instead. rwo other root crops have been omitted; turnips tre placed, for the purpose of IBPGR directories, with the vegetables, and beets placed with nduStrial crops. The coverage of wild specieg is extensive wherever details have been supplied or could be gle....4 from published literature, in order to make the directory ap comprehensive as possible on details of what material is held where. As a result of the inclusion of more wild species the number of species names in the index has increased significantly from the first edition. rn those cases where it has not been possible to irerify all the binomials used, they have been included as cited by curators. Thus, where a name has boon used that is generally regarded as no longer valid for that species, it has been retained as being the name used by the curator and, hence, the name used to identify accessions in that collection. It is the hope of TOPGR that this directory will prove useful, and that it will act as a catalyst In stimulating interest in the conservation and use of the gonotic resources of root and tuber crops.

Recent survey among the Mech tribe living in the Duars of West Bengal, India, has recorded the uses of 20 different species of animals along with 11 species of plants in traditional medicines to cure different ailments. However, more efforts need to be exercised to explore and document the traditional ethnozoological knowledge accumulated by Mech and other tribes living in this region, so that, it can be put to the human welfare.

The result showed that the flowers contain saponins (6.61% and 5.50% respectively for the two species). Alkaloids of 6.22 and 9.80% respectively were also obtained from the result. Other Phytoconstituents like flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, steroids, and tannins were also evaluated. The proximate analysis revealed that the flowers contain high protein content (37.87% and 22.56% respectively), high moisture content and crude fat. Colocasia esculenta showed high percentage of total carbohydrate. The flowers of the two species of Cocoyam can therefore serve as spices and source of protein in local meals. Keywords: Flowers; Xanthosoma esculenta; Colocasia esculenta; used in preparing local soups and dishes. This was used to improve Nutrients; Spices the quality and the nutritional value of the meal thereby making it palatable. Thus, this dried flower of cocoyam was used in place of Introduction modern day synthetic spices or seasoning. This research work has Cocoyam is a common name for more than one tropical root and therefore been designed to evaluate the probable nutrients of the vegetable crop belonging to the Arum family (Aroids).

  • Farm and Forestry Production and Marketing Profile for Tannia (Xanthosoma Spp.)
    Specialty Crops for Pacific Island Agroforestry (http://agroforestry.net/scps) Farm and Forestry Production and Marketing Profile for Tannia (Xanthosoma spp.) By Harley I. Manner USES AND PRODUCTS The lateral tubers, or cormels, of tannia Xanthosoma( spp.) are consumed as a starchy food. This species is very widely used in the islands. By the 1970s, it was more important than Colocasia taro in the dryland areas of New Caledo- nia (Doumenge 1982), the second most important crop in Tonga after cassava, and more important than Colocasia in shifting gardens in the Cook Islands (Thaman 1984). Tannia is considered by some to be inferior to Colocasia taro (Smith 1979). The central or primary tuber is acrid and not used for human consumption. However, tannia is of- ten grown because of the higher yield per unit labor, larger tuber size, taste and other factors. As its yields are higher than Colocasia taro, it is increasingly being adopted by is- land peoples. Drying of the tubers for the production of starch powder can be easily done. As with Colocasia taro, tannia leaves can be used for silage. The leaves of X. brasilensis are cooked as a favored spinach. BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION Preferred scientific names Xanthosoma sagittifolium (L.) Schott X. brasiliense (Desf.) Engl. X. nigrum (Vell.)

  • Note Sur La Culture Du Macabo Et Du Taro Au Cameroun
    I NOTE §UR LA CULTURE DU MACABO ET DU TARO AU CAMEROUN Par M. CATHERINET Institut de Recherches Agronomiques Tropicales et des Cultures Vivrikres Dans la zone sud du Cameroun se pratique la culture de deux plantes alimentaires qui présentent des caractéristiques botaniques et agronomiques voisines : le Macabo : Xanthosoma sagittifotium SCHOTT; le Taro : Colocasia antiquorum, SCHOTT. Toutes deux appartiennent à la famille des Aroïdées (ou Aracées), tribu des Colocasiées. On les rencontre en région humide de forêt, d’altitude, ou en savane boisée à saison des pluies prolongée où elles occupent une place importante dans les productions agricoles. Aucun chiffre valable ne permet de préciser le tonnage produit, mais leur diffusion et leur consommation sont telles qu’elles justifient de faire l’objet d’une étude et d’une amélioration. Le Macabo, la plus l répandue des deux, se trouve constamment dans les cultures vivrières, et constitue un aliment de base ! des populations ouest-camerounaises, avec la banane, le plantain, l’igname et le maïs. I1 est également malaisé d’estimer le rendement à l’hectare, car la culture se pratique &né- ralement en association avec d’autres espèces. Lorsqu’il s’agit de champs en culture pure, leurs dimensions sont trop réduites pour en tirer une information sérieuse. On peut avancer avec pm- dence des rendements de 15 à 40 t/ha pour le Macabo, sans doute moitié pour le Taro. Les cultivateurs ne dissocient guère les deux genres en ce qui a trait aux pratiques culturales ou à l’emploi alimentaire. Ils les placent volontiers ensemble, sur les mêmes terrains et dans les mêmes conditions de plantation.
