Abstract

A total of nine traditional genotypes or cultivars of taro (Colocasia esculenta(L.) Schott),locally calledHao-paan,Ingkhol-paan,Lam-paan,Mukhi-paan angangba,Mukhi-paan angouba,Paan-angangba,Paan-gong,Singda-paanandYerum-paanhave been collected and identified from Manipur. Theseplants are widely consumed by ethnic people of Manipur in various forms of traditional cuisines. Thecultivars namelyMukhi-paan angangba,Ingkhol-paanandPaan-angangbaare generally accepted asthe tasty among the nine. The botanical characteristics and agronomic data of the nine cultivars werestudied for morphological traits such as corm shape, size and other yield parameters using RBD withthree replicates. The yield of corm and cormel was highest inMukhi-paan angouba(604 g plant-1)while least inLam-paan(205 g plant-1). Considering the taste and yield the four genotypes namely,Mukhi-paan angangba,Mukhi-paan angouba,Paan-angangbaandIngkhol-paanare preferred forcommercial cultivation.
