| Research Abstract |
Four edible canna lines were cultivated in the paddy field (upland condition) at the coastal flat plain (altitude: 8.5m) and the hilly and mountainous area (altitude: 520m) with different cropping seasons (planting dates) in the warm south-western district in Japan and measured the biomass and starch production. Biomass (shoot + rhizome) production ranged from 100-185t/ha and 12-26t/ha in fresh and dry weight, respectively, and the starch yield was 2-4t/ha. Early planting promoted both of the biomass and starch productions. The edible canna grown in the hilly and mountainous area showed higher rhizome/shoot weight percentage. Varietal differences were observed in the biomass and starch productions. The possibilities of utilizations of shoot part as silage and starch for pasta noodle making were suggested.
