	Changing Fortunes: CHAPTER THREE
		Breaking the agricultural calendar with off-season crops of potatoes and ulluco also became a common route for the Quechua in Paucartambo seeking to escape from the market traps of wheat and conventional rainfed potatoes.
		Potato landraces withstood drought and frost better than the improved varieties, quinoa and ulluco yielded dependably in a gamut of environments, and maize, although subject to damage from frost and drought, was protected with special cultivation and irrigation techniques.
		Ulluco and maize in particular, which enjoyed great popularity during the postreform decades, had already been absorbed into non-Indian food habits during the colonial epoch.

		Ulluco is a tuber similar to a potato and native to the Andes, ranging from Colombia to northern Argentina.
		The major appeal of the ulluco is its crisp texture which, like the jicama, remains so even when cooked.
		Ulluco may be freeze-dried to make llingli, a long-keeping product like the chuño made from the potato.

	EFFECT OF PLANTING DATE ON ULLUCO YIELD
		Ulluco (Ullucus tuberosus) is a traditional staple tuber crop from the high Andes.
		Ulluco has been recently reintroduced into New Zealand where it is being evaluated as a potential field vegetable crop.
		As part of this evaluation, time of planting trials were carried out at Lincoln near Christchurch and Pukekohe near Auckland in New Zealand.

		ULLUCO is a brightly colored root comes in yellow, pink, red, purple and candy stripes.
		Its waxy skin is so shiny, the report said, that it seems "like botanical jewels or plastic fakes." Its' flesh which varies from white to lemon-yellow, has a smooth, silky texture and a nutty taste.

	Plant Disease- July 2000 Abstracts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Potato virus T (PVT), a member of the genus Trichovirus, was isolated from leaves of naturally infected ulluco (Ullucus tuberosus), oca (Oxalis tuberosa), and mashua (Tropaeolum tuberosum).
		PVT isolates from ulluco, oca, mashua, and potato infected virus-free ulluco, oca, and potato genotypes by mechanical inoculation.
		The incidence of PVT in mashua, oca, and ulluco accessions from the International Potato Center (CIP) in vitro germplasm bank was less than 10%.

		For the Quechua of Peru, the link between people and plants is as ancient as the Incan Empire.
		Along with the potato, oca, ulluco, and mashua, the so-called "Andean minor tubers," once fed a civilization of 12 million.
		But pressures to modernize are changing the face of agriculture in the Andean highlands.

	Fletcher & Fletcher--In vitro virus elimination in Andean root crops
		In oca: Arracacha virus B (AVB), Papaya mosaic virus (PapMV), and Ullucus mild mottle virus (UMMV); in ulluco: Ullucus virus C (UVC), Ullucus mosaic virus (UMV), PapMV, and UMMV; and in arracacha: Arracacha A virus (AVA).
		Stem nodal sections of oca and ulluco and shoot tips of arracacha were established in tissue culture on a growth medium containing 50 mg/litre ribavirin.
		These explants underwent 10 days of continuous heat therapy of alternating 4 h light at 35°C: 4 h dark at 31°C, after which time the resultant shoots were 1 cm long and ready to be excised and grown up on growth medium without ribavirin.

	Cultivos Andinos FAO - INTRODUCCION
		Micropropagation of ulluco, oca and mashua is now well developed.
		This technique is in vitro germplasm collections using shoot cultures and induced microtubers (Castillo, R.; Estrada, R., personal communication), from virus free clones produced by meristem tip culture and thermotherapy (Stone, 1982).
		In addition to isozyme fingerprinting, RAPD markers have been successfully tested to distinguish ulluco accession in CIAT through collaboration with San Marcos University of Lima (Lopez, M., personal communication).

	Ethnobotanical Leaflets
		Pre-Incan pictograms representing potato, ulluco, oca, and mashua have been found which show evidence the importance of these tubers even in those times (Hodge, 1946).
		In the Peruvian highlands, mashua is often grown with maize, oca, ulluco, potatoes, legumes and grains.
		High levels of compounds with insecticidal properties explain the virtual absence of pests and diseases in the crop.

	Seeds of Change
		But there are others, mashua, oca, ulluco root and tuber crops that were used by the Incas and are still grown and eaten today by subsistence farmers high in the Andes, like the villagers of Picol.
		Our leaders, Hector Flores and Marleni Ramirez, knew the Andes, both the plants and the people, well; they were raised and educated in Lima, and they married there.
		Some varieties of these minor tubers, the oca, mashua, and ulluco, are so sweet and tasty you can eat them during harvest, right out of the ground.

		These are two tubers, similar to the potato, but more tubular in shape and less 'floury'.
		Since the Quechua language doesn't distinguish between the 'o' sound and the 'u' sound, olluco is sometimes spelled ulluco.

		Human beings rely on plants for food, shelter, and medicines.
		Although at least 5000 species are cultivated, modern agricultural research emphasizes a few widely cultivated crops while largely ignoring plants such as Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea), Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis), Carob (Ceratonia siliqua), Coriander (Coriandrum sativum), emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum), Oca (Oxalis tuberosa), and Ulluco (Ullucus tuberosus).
