Abstract
Taro, cv. Betelnut, were planted in paddy fields in 1979 and 1980 showed that the higher the plant density, the higher the plant and yield. However, size, weight and number of main corm or cormels produced on each plant were negatively correlated to the plant density. The highest main corm yield was recorded in the plot with a spacing of 60×20 cm (83,300 plants/ha) of 36 tons/ha and 55 tons/ha and the lowest in the spacing of 60×60 cm (26,600 plants/ha) of 17 tons/ha and 21 tons/ha respectively in 1979 and 1980. Total yield (main corm + cormels) also showed the highest in the spacing of 60×20 cm of 43 tons/ha and 63 tons/ha and the lowest in the spacing of 60×60 cm of 22 tons/ha and 26 tons/ha respectively in 1979 and 1980. This information is valuable for the farmers to cultivate taro in the paddy fields.
