talamulika :

Cultivation:
Nilappana is a slow growing and less competitive crop. Hence sufficient care should be given for its initial establishment and growth.
The land is ploughed well with the onset of monsoon and raised beds of convenient length and 1m wide are taken.
FYM at the rate of 4 tonnes /acre is applied at the time of land preparation.
Fresh terminal tuber segments are planted in raised beds at a spacing of 15 x 10 cm.
Thin mulching with green leaves or straw is given immediately after planting. About 70-80% of tubers sprout within two months.
Since the tuber elogation is vertically upwards as the plant grows, earthing up two to three times is essential to promote tuberization. Frequent weeding is also required to check weed competition.
Application of small doses of chemical fertilizers is also beneficial
Propogation:
Fresh terminal tuber segments of 1.5-2cm size, collected from field at the time of planting and used as the propagule.
Quantity required for planting: 300 kg/acre
Harvesting:
Collect from early February to late October.
· Remove roots and rootlets, rinse, cut into pieces.
· Sun dry
