A Taro Book

Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is an important staple food of large segments of the rural population in the tropics. Yet, very little is known about the crop. This 1996 book presents a comprehensive review of all management aspects of lowland and upland taro production. The book provides an in-depth coverage of taro-growing soils and environments, fertilization, crop management, disease and pest control, and post-harvest technology. The book is an essential source reference for farmers, agronomists, plant scientists, extension workers, students, and anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of the taro crop.
