Evaluation of Taro (Colocasia esculenta L.) Cultivars for Growth, Yield and Quality Attributes

A study on varietal evaluation in taro for growth, yield and quality attributes was carried out in a replicated experiment and morphological and chemical analysis was done. Significant differences were recorded for all the characteristics studied. 'Panchmukhi' recorded highest plant height...
