Experiment code 14.4.3.30 & 15.3.150
Experiment Title Response of Tannia [Xanthosoma sagittifolium (L.)] to different spacing and fertilizer doses
Research Type Departmental Trail
Experiment Background Tania is an important crop of aroid group and is grown extensively in West Bengal, Bihar, U.P., Kerala, Gujarat etc. in India as well as abroad (Africa, US, Puerto Rico, Philippines). In Gujarat, tannia crop is mainly grown as leafy vegetable. Availability of tannia leaves is throughout the year in Gujarat as it can be grown throughout the year. In Gujarat and some part of Maharashtra it is mainly used for making “Paatra”, a value added product. It is also used to make the subji of “Turiya-patra” in marriage season. The leaves also can be used as vegetable after boiling just like spinach. Though it cultivated in large area as an inter crop in fruit orchards/other crops/sole crop in South Gujarat and as a sole crop/mix crop with other vegetables in middle Gujarat, there is no recommendation either on spacing or on fertilizers. However, CTCRI, Thiruvanathapuram (Kerala) has an adhoc, recommendation for this crop on spacing (90 cm x 90 cm) and application of FYM @ 20 t/ha and 80:60:80 NPK kg /ha. Considering all the points above an experiment has been framed up on this crop to find out the production of leaves at varying levels of plant population and fertilizers. As no specific variety is available majority of farmers are growing “Local” variety of this crop.
