Product Information

Flour can be made from the tubers by slicing, drying, and grinding them. [12] Nutrition [ edit ] Jícama, raw Nutritional value per 100g (3.5oz)

Jicama also contains the prebiotic fiber inulin, which has been linked to weight loss and shown to impact hormones that affect hunger and fullness ( 31). Evanno G, Regnaut S, Goudet J.

S.v. "Jicama." Retrieved July 18, 2017 from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/jicama Before sowing, the soil must be loosened to a depth of 15–25cm. Further, the soil has to be thoroughly cleaned from weeds and stones. In Bolivia, P. ahipa is normally sown between August and October, depending on the rainy season. The seeding rate is between 40 and 65kg/ha. In determining the rate, preferred traits such as tuber size play an important role. Further, soil fertility and seed weight must be taken into account. The planting distance is 20–60cm between rows and 6–25cm between plants in the same row. Therefore, about six to 83 plants/m 2 are possible. It is planted on ridges, when it is flood irrigated, which is mostly the case in the Andean region. [2] Cultivation [ edit ]Jicama also contains small amounts of vitamin E, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, calcium, phosphorus, zinc and copper ( 3). At the time of harvest, seeds show high nitrogen contents, but some remains in leaves, providing a nitrogen-rich straw which can be used for animal feeding or as fertilizer, if the plant material is incorporated into the soil. In one season, 67kg N/ha were taken up by roots and seeds. This nitrogen is mainly provided by the inoculation with efficient bacterial strains. The P. ahipa plant is therefore able to form an efficient symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium, and is able to fix 58–80kg nitrogen per hectare. No further supply of nitrogen fertilizer is needed. [2] If the vegetative aboveground parts are left in the field, a substantial amount of the fixed nitrogen is returned to the soil, about 12–80kg N/ha. The enrichment is very important if a sustainable land-use system is desired.

Population relationships were studied by imputing the full clean set of data into DARwin software [ 30] using neighbor-joining (NJ) tree feature by running 30,000 bootstraps. Results obtained from STRUCTURE and DAPC analysis were highlighted in the phylogenetic tree using specific colors in the phylogenetic tree, in correspondence to the different clusters using a final threshold value of membership coefficient higher than 0.80.

Currently, in-situ conservation of AYB seeds is practiced mainly by a few traditional farmers who value the crop’s cultivation [ 11] as well in germplasm banks, including the IITA Genetic Resources Centre (GRC) at Ibadan, Nigeria. For conservation purposes, the organized exploration and collection of AYB germplasm was believed to be distributed across north-east, east, west-central, west and south tropical Africa [ 12, 13], but currently, there is an urgent need for AYB information update, biodiversity conservation and maintenance.

The genetic distance between accessions varied from 0.103 to 0.524 with an overall average distance of 0.369 (Additional file 2a). The majority of genetic distances (86.1%) was observed to be within the interval of 0.3001 and 0.4200 (Additional file 2b). The minimum genetic distance was observed between accessions TSs5A and TSs100 whereas the maximum value for this measure was found between TSs44 and TSs47 (Additional file 2a). Phosphorus makes up about 1% of your total body weight and is found in every cell in your body. Most of the weight comes from phosphorus-dense teeth and bones.

Cowpea [ Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is still the most widely cultivated and utilized food legume and research material in sub-Saharan Africa and most countries of the world. It is currently considered the single most important pulse in the dry areas of tropical Africa ( Snapp et al., 2018). Its consumption has grown at the rate of 3.2% per annum between 1980 and 2009, and the average level of consumption is 4.5 kg/person/year in sub-Saharan Africa ( Nedumaran et al., 2015). Between 1971 and 1996, cowpea production and grain yield increased in Nigeria by ~441 and 410%, respectively ( Ortiz, 1998). Cowpea production received steady and tremendous positive growth during the period from 1970 to 2018; its production covered 96% arable land area of the total grain legumes and 98% of the total pulse production ( Ortiz, 1998; Nedumaran et al., 2015; Akah et al., 2021). About ten other food legumes with promising values are known in Nigeria, but their production is low and declining, their cultivation, geographical distribution, and production statistics are not available, and their food, feed, nutrition, and health benefits are fading as their utilization declines. The Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database categorized them as pulses that could not be individually differentiated in their compilation due to their limited international and/or local importance. The EIT Food WE Lead Food Programme’s aim is primarily to engage, educate and equip the current and future women leaders in the food industry and enable them to lead entrepreneurially to deliver a sustainable, diverse, and equitable food sector. In addition, it is to contribute to increasing the representation of women to realise the benefits of diversity on creativity, innovation, and sustainability as well as the performance of the sector.

It is in the pea family (Fabaceae). Pachyrhizus tuberosus [2] and Pachyrhizus ahipa are the other two cultivated species in the genus. The naming of this group of edible plants can sometimes be confusing, with much overlap of similar or the same common names.
