Abstract

芋屬天南星科（Araceae）多年生草本植物，自古為熱帶地區居民之主要糧食，目前在非洲、亞洲、西印度群島及南美洲等地均有廣泛栽培，且近年來全世界種植面積與生產量有顯著增加。芋之重要性僅次於甘藷、馬鈴薯及樹薯，除供主食與副食外，並可當蔬菜、製粉、加工食品、動物飼料及工業用途等，其利用性日趨重要；今後為滿足地球上人口不斷增加而帶來之糧食壓力，加強芋的利用開發與研究，勢必日漸被世人所重視。台灣芋之栽培面積年約5500公頃，其中高屏地區種植約3500公頃，為南部地區重要作物之一。由於芋在台灣屬次要作物，過去未被各試驗場所重視，故有關芋品種與栽培的研究並不多。為因應芋農實際之需要，高雄區農業改良場於民國72年起除進行芋種原之搜集與品種之選育外，並進行改善芋栽培之一系列研究。本文就近年來旗南分場有關芋品種改良工作方面，包括芋種原搜集利用，台灣芋栽培上所遭遇的問題，選種目標及新品種高雄一號之育成等所獲之研究成果加以介紹外，並就芋品種相關資訊如芋的起源與傳播、分類、營養價值與用途、生產概況及其展望等提出討論，以供將來研究與應用之參考。 Taro (Co1ocasi esculenia), a member of the herbaceous perennials of the Araceae family, is an economic crop of tradition grown throughout the humid tropics for its edible corms and leaves. Taro can be utilized in more forms than do the other root crops such as sweet potato, potat, and cassava. It can be consumed as both staple food and vegetable, and processed as food additives, animal feeds, industrial materials, etc. Only limited information is available on the breeding and culture techniques of this important crop, more studies are needed to enhance both its yield and production. The total acreage planted to taro in Taiwan is about 5,500 ha, of which 3,5 00 ha are distributed in Kaohsiung and Pingtung area. It is therefore one of the important crops in southern Taiwan. This paper includes the literature review including the origin, taxonomy, nutritional value, utilization, and the present production status of taro. The topics on varietal improvement, germplasm collection and utilization, major constraints to production, and the breeding strategy are emphasized. Kaohsiung No. 1, a new taro variety with high yielding potential and resistance to soft rot disease developed by the Kaohsiung District Agricultural Improvement Station is also introduced.
