The pressure on demand for food by rapid growth of human population stressed the importance of tropical root and tuber as non conventional food in the diet especially of lower income groups in developing countries. These root and tuber crops include Cassava and sweet potato (root tubers) aroids yam coleus (stem tuber) which are considered as staple foods for the tropical and subtropical regions like Africa Caribbeans South America India and South East Asia. The tropical root and tuber crops have within the past decades increased in both local and international importance by the research workers agriculturists various agriculture colleges and institutions. The book includes various aspects like origin geographical distribution cytogenetics important strategy physiology biotechnology methods for improvement microbial system agro techniques water management diseases insect pest chemical composition toxic principles utilization post harvest deterioration marketing and trade and selected references for each crop etc. 360 pp.…
