Abstract

The Chittoor variety of Elephant Yam known as का (Chenai) in Tamil and (Theeyakandu) in Telugu, has a reputation in the markets of the surrounding districts. The normal area in the taluk is 300 acres, but due to low prices, the area has decreased to 240 acres, in the last season. The average area grown by a ryot is about ten cents and the maximum area grown by a single individual is about thirty cents. The crop is generally grown pure, though other vegetables like radish, onions, brinjals, bhendai, etc. may be found to be grown along the sides of irrigation channels, for sometime during the growth of the crop.
