ABSTRACT

Tubers are important food crops in tropical world. Tropical tuber crops have hitherto received inadequate attention. As area increased significantly and new production techniques devised in the last decade, nutrient management shall remain an essential aspect for improving the quality and quantity of tubers. This review gives an account of the nutrient management research carried out on tuber crops.
