| Experiment Background | Greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.) is a popular tuber crop in India. Greater yam has superior characteristics like high yield potential (especially under low and average soil fertility), ease of propagation and higher shelf life of tubers. It is a sun loving plant and commercially propagated vegetatively by tubers. Many of the Dioscorea species serve as a ‘life saving’ plant group for the marginal farmers and forest dwelling communities, during periods of food scarcity. In India it is extensively cultivated in Madhya Pradesh, North-eastern states, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Maharashtra as a commercial crop. In Gujarat, it is mainly cultivated in the districts of south and middle Gujarat. The edible portion is chiefly rich in carbohydrates, along with good amount of minerals. It contains 18-20 % starch with mucilaginous substance and is extracted in a commercial basis. It also contains quite good amount of alkaloids and steroids having pharmaceutical value and used in Ayurvedic, Unani and Homeopathy medicinal preparations. Besides, it is also ideal for fries, chips and flakes. Purple fleshed greater yam are starchy root vegetables that are rich in carbohydrate, potassium, vitamin C, and phytonutrients, all of which are important for maintaining good health. Therefore, above experiment has been framed up to find out the best suited genotype of purple flesh greater yam for south Gujarat region. | ||
