“…The possible causes for the difference in starch content in the three species of tubers were the genetic factor of the tuber species and the size of the rhizome seeds [49]. The research on rice also showed that different varieties of rice produced varied starch content [50].…”

The adoption of agroforestry system aims to combine food production enhancement to compensate population growth with the improvement of agricultural marketable products to increase household income. The diversification of food crop products requires more effective land use. In Gunungkidul, high-density teak (Tectona grandis) plantation has dominated many private forests. The area under the tree crown has received low light intensity, where only shade-resistant plants can survive. Tuber crops, i.e., arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea), canna (Canna edulis) and yam (Dioscorea esculenta) are shade-tolerant crops, which were planted in tree understory for supplementary food production and income generation. The cultivation under teak stand has been overlooked due to uncertainty in tuber productivity. To address this knowledge gap, the effect of teak shade (5- and 7-year teak) on the growth and yield of the three tuber crops was examined. The results indicated that both teak trial areas (with RLI 45.13% and 38.76%) were suitable for canna production (LER > 1), while management options were recommended for enhancing arrowroot and yam production. The LER of intercropped three-tuber crops under 5 years’ teak were >1, while of those under 7 years’ teak, only canna reached >1. Canna is the preferred option to be mixed in teak agroforestry systems with low light intensity due to its consistent yields, whether planted in open area or under teak shade. Silvicultural management, pruning and thinning are recommended to increase the growing space and resource sharing for intercropped plants. Land optimization in private forest understory using shade-resistant tubers will offer medium-term benefits, provided that proper silvicultural procedures are applied.

“…The cultivar Seta was faster and more productive in terms of dry mass accumulation in rhizomes, than 'Comum'. The starch content in arrowroot rhizomes can vary with the cultivar, 'Seta' had 11.32% (SOUZA et al, 2019a) and that for 'Comum' was 20.28% (SOUZA et al, 2019b) and the crop cycle (18 -23%) (FERRARI; LEONEL; SARMENTO, 2005;AMANTE et al, 2020). Thus, it is expected that 'Comum' arrowroot plants (156.76 g plant -1 ) can produce a far higher amount of starch than 'Seta' (92.71 g plant -1 ).…”

“…Thus, the advantage of arrowroot starch is its high nutritional value and absence of gluten making it an excellent raw material for producing dietary supplements for patients suffering from Celiac disease (GUILHERME et al, 2019). The starch content in arrowroot rhizomes can vary with the crop cycle (FERRARI; LEONEL; SARMENTO, 2005;AMANTE et al, 2020) and with the cultivar (SOUZA et al, 2019a;SOUZA et al, 2019b).…”

Arrowroot (Maranta arundinaceae), a traditional plant used to extract medicinal starch that is gluten-free and of excellent nutritional quality, is understudied for its growth and development in the organic crop system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth and photoassimilate partitioning in plants of two cultivars, Comum and Seta arrowroot. The design was performed in random blocks with four repetitions. At 57 days after planting (DAP), the plants were collected at regular intervals of 25 days throughout the crop cycle, and the dry mass was determined. Growth analysis was performed using the primary data. The cultivars Comum and Seta show maximum absolute growth rates of 10.51 and 12.42 g plant−1 day−1 and the maximum leaf area index (LAI) of 18.74 and 14.62, as recorded for 216 and 205 DAP, respectively. The higher absolute growth rate and higher growth of arrowroot plants in a shorter time indicate greater precocity of cultivar Seta compared to Comum. The photoassimilate partitioning is balanced between the aerial parts and rhizomes at the end of the cycle. Both cultivars can be recommended for the organic crop system in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais.

“…The price of the arrowroot starch in the national market has reaches values of R$ 15.00 to 39.00 per kg, because of this, the cultivation of arrowroot has become a potential option in Brazilian agribusiness, especially for family Rev.

Arrowroot is a plant originated in Latin America that has aroused interest in the food industry due to its high starch content, with differentiated characteristics and high commercial value. However, information on the management of arrowroot are scarce, precluding its commercial competition with other similar species, being necessary further studies with the crop. Thus, the objective of the present study was to characterize extracted starch from arrowroot grown under different agronomic management. Three agronomic factors were studied: planting systems (PS), forms of water management (WM) and planting density (PD). The experimental analyses were performed in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replicates, being evaluated the extraction yield, percent composition, quantity of starch, pH, titratable acidity, swelling power, solubility and electron microscopy analysis. In general, the analyzed extracted starches deriving from different agronomic treatments have low crude fiber, besides typical characteristics of arrowroot extracted starch such as texture, color, shape and size of granules, without any other apparent particle than the starch itself, indicating extraction efficiency. However, the planting density may have contributed to influence some parameters of the chemical composition of the extracted starch, such as the content of starch, ash, ether extract, protein and carbohydrate fraction.
