The aim of this study was to evaluate the sprouting, yield and economics of elephant foot yam under the influence of different pre-planting treatments using organic and inorganic substances. The pre-planting treatment of minisetts with thiourea at 400 ppm resulted in maximum sprouting percentage (97.22%). This treatment also recorded highest corm yield (12.57 t ha-1) and showed maximum increase in corm yield (31.07%) over the control treatment. The economics over two years showed that among the different pre-planting treatments, the thiourea at 400 ppm stood as the best treatment which gave maximum net return of Rs. 91851 with a B: C ratio of 2.71 followed by thiourea at 300 ppm (net return Rs. 90651 and B: C ratio 2.69), thiourea at 200 ppm (net return Rs. 88951 and B: C ratio 2.66) and KNO3 at 250 ppm (net return Rs. 88021 and B: C ratio 2.66).Keywords

The experiment was conducted during the year 2010-11 and 2011-12 and the maximum weight loss per cent in corms was recorded at 90 days of storage i.e. 30.80 to 31.59 per cent and zero per cent rotting was noticed under almost all the pre planting treatments. Generally all tubers sprouted within 60 days of storage and a negligible increase at 90 days of storage.Keywords
