Taro (Colocasia esculenta)

Colocasia esculenta Over the past 27 years, significant breakthroughs in major food crops have brought about a dramatic increase in world food production. However, advances in food production have not provided significant benefits to areas where root vegetables are mainly responsible. Therefore, more attention must be paid to root vegetables such as taro, which is staple food in many developing countries in Asia, Africa and the Pacific. Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott is a member of the Araceae family, an ancient crop growing in damp tropical regions, with edible bulbs and leaves, traditional uses.

Plant extraction technology uses a high build-up agent to reduce contaminant concentration. This technology has been applied to solve problems related to pollution. Several plant species such as Canna glauca L., Colocasia esculenta L. Schott, Cyperus papyrus L., Typha angustifolia L, etc. have been evaluated and are being used for repairing arsenic contaminated soil (Jomjun) 2011 etc.). Previous studies have revealed that the success of phytoremediation is related to the quality of interactions between plants, soils and pollutants. This plant-soil-pollutant interaction is specific (Chekol et al., 2002). Chaney et al. (1997) pointed out that soil and phytochemistry are unique and should be considered separately in the design and application of each plant repair program. In other words, each soil, plant, pollutant must be treated separately and as an inherent factor that may affect the results of each experiment.

Using this approach, people in Hawaii developed a lot of knowledge about other species living in their environment. This includes interrelationships between various plant species and varieties, where and how to grow, when to harvest, when to use, and optimal to ensure adequate supply for current and future needs Included. At the time of discovery, the treatment of natural medicine in Hawaii was "very systematic" and it was expressed as "scientific in many respects than researchers in Europe".

Evidence from the groove of Kuk Swamp in the western and southern highland border of Papua New Guinea shows that taro and other crops can be traced back to 11000 BP. Two potentially important economic species, Colocasia esculenta and yam (Dioscorea sp.), Have been identified at least in the existing 10,200 calibration year (cal BP). Further evidence of banana and sugarcane can be traced back to 6, 950-6,440 BP. Some believe that this is the height limitation of these crops and that the more preferred planting range for lowlands may be earlier. CSIRO has found evidence that Taro became the world's first crop, since Taro was introduced to the Solomon Islands for human use before 28,000 years ago. From the east of New Guinea to the Solomon Islands, and from the west to Timor and neighborhoods of Indonesia, it seems that they are spreading to the language of New Guinea.
