Fourteen accessions of edible aroids were evaluated in Manaus- AM, in 1983 and 1984. In general Colocasia sp accessions show reduced growth, with medium or short leaf sizes. Accession 02/79 presented higher value for protein and the best yield. Xanthosoma sp accessions showed irregular growth with tail plants with large leaves or medium plants.
