Tropical tuber crops like cassava, sweet potato, yams, edible aroids such as elephant foot yam, taro and tannia are food cum nutritional cum livelihood security crops that are decisive components in agri-food systems. It is imperative to enhance food production under changing climatic scenarios, along with sustainable resource management. This document provides an overview of crop production technologies for tuber crops aimed at promoting productive, profitable and environmentally conserving farming. Resilient cropping systems and IFS models, sustainable soil fertility management with emphasis on nutrient use efficient varieties, integrated nutrient management, site specific nutrient management, customized fertilizers, micronutrient formulations, organic management, precision nutrient and water management, including smart farming, climate resilient technologies and certain novel initiatives in this direction are discussed.
