    humidequatorialcountries, fromthePhilippinesandIndonesiatoIndia,Burma,ThailandandSri Lanka.It iswidely known, yet grown on a small scale inSoutheast AsiaandPapua NewGuinea.Winged bean is well recognized by farmers and consumers in theAsian region for its variety of uses and disease tolerance. Winged bean is

    nutrient rich, and all parts of the plant are edible. Leaves can be eaten likespinach, flowers can be used in salads, tubers can be eaten raw or cooked,seeds can be used in similar ways as the soybean. The winged bean is anunderutilized species but has the potential to become a major multi-use foodcrop in the tropics of Asia, Africa and Latin America. The winged bean is aspecies that belongs to the genusPsophocarpus,a genus of 6-9 varyingspecies. Species in the Psophocarpus genus areperennialherbs grownasannuals.They are generally considered to be from Africa. Species in thePsophocarpus species are capable of climbing by twining their stems arounda support. Species in the Psophocarpus genus have tuberous roots and podswith wings.

    Appearance

    The winged bean plant grows as a vine with climbing stems andleaves,34m in height. It is anherbaceousperennial,but can be grown as anannual.Itis generally taller and notably larger than theCommon bean.The bean podis typically 1522 cm (69 in) long and has four wings with frilly edgesrunning lengthwise. The skin is waxy and the flesh partially translucent inthe young pods. When the pod is fully ripe, it turns an ash-brown color andsplits open to release the seeds. The largefloweris a pale blue. The beansthemselves are similar to soybeans in both use and nutritional content

    (being 29.8% to 39% protein).

    There is abundant variation in the appearance of winged bean. The shape ofits leaves ranges from ovate, deltoid, ovate-lanceolate, lanceolate and longlanceolate. The leaves of winged bean also vary in colour appearing asdifferent shades of green. Stem colour is commonly green, but can varyfrom shades of green to shades of purple. Pod shape is most commonlyrectangular, but can also appear flat. Pod colour may also vary from shadesof cream, green, pink or purple. The exterior surface of the pod also variesin texture. Pods can appear smooth or rough depending on genotype. Seedshape is often round, but oval and rectangular seeds are also found. Seed

    colour changes based on environmental factors and storage conditions.Seeds may appear white, cream, brown or dark tan in appearance. Theshape of winged bean tuberous roots also show variation

    Human consumption and nutrition

    One of the advantages of the winged bean is its ability to produce food frommany different parts of the plant.

    Pods- Can be eaten unripe as a crunchy vegetable, cooked or raw

    Seeds- Require cooking for 23 hours to destroy trypsin inhibitors andhemagglutinins that inhibit digestion. Seeds can be roasted like peanuts andhave nutrient value comparative to soy beans. Average about 35% proteinand 17% oil.

    Roots-Can be eaten raw or cooked. Tubers are high in protein and nutrientrich. Tuberous roots have 20% protein, which is much higher than otheredible roots. Leaves and Flowers- Can be eaten raw or cooked. Flowers andleaves also have a high protein content at 10-15%.

    Germination

    Winged bean is a self-pollinating plant but mutations and occasionaloutcrossing, may produce variations in the species. The pretreatment ofwinged bean seeds is not required in tropical climate, but scarification of

    seeds has shown to enhance the germination rate of seedlings. Seed soakingmay also increase speed to germination, as is typical, and may be used inconjunction with scarification. Seedlings under natural field conditions havebeen reported to emerge between 57 days. It is recorded that winged beancan grow as fast or faster than comparative legume plants includingsoybeans.There is a 40-140 day period of germination from sowing toflowering of the winged bean plant. The pod reaches its full length and canbe gathered to use as a vegetable 2 weeks after pollination. Three weeksafter pollination, the pod becomes fibrous and after six weeks mature seedscan be harvested. Tuber development and flower production are dependentupon genotype and environmental factors. Some varieties of winged bean do

    not produce tuberous roots. The winged bean is a tropical plant, and willonly flower when the day length is shorter than 12 hours, though somevarieties have been reported as day-length neutral. All varieties of wingedbean grow on a vine and must grow over a support. Some examples ofsupport systems include: growing against exterior walls of houses, huts,buildings; supporting against larger perennial trees; stakes placed in theground vertically; and structures made from posts and wires. Because theearly growth of winged bean is slow, it is important to maintain weeds. Slowearly growth makes winged bean susceptible to weed competition in the first46 weeks of development. Khan (1982) recommends weeding by hand or

    animal drawn tractor two times before the support system of the wingedbean is established. Winged bean can be grown without added fertilizer asthe plant has a bacterium on the nodules of the roots that fixes nitrogen andallows the plant to absorb nitrogen. Factors that influence nitrogen fixationinclude, Rhizobium strain, interactions between strain and host genotype,available nutrients and soil pH.

    Climate

    Winged bean thrives in hot weather and favours humidity, but it is anadaptable plant. It is reported that the winged bean can adjust to theclimate of the equatorial tropics. Winged bean production is optimal inhumidity, but the species is susceptible to moisture stress and waterlogging.Ideal growing temperature is reported to be 25 degrees Celsius. Lower

    temperature is reported to suppress germination, and extremely hightemperatures are detrimental to the yield of the plant..Moderate variationsin the growing climate of winged bean can result in variations in yield. It isreported than growing winged bean in lower than favourable temperaturescan increase tuber production. It is also reported that leaf expansion rate ishigher in a warmer climate. In addition to adequate temperature, wingedbean requires sufficient soil moisture at all stages of growth to produce highyields. Although the winged bean plant is indigenous to the humid tropics, itis possible for the plant to succeed in drier climate with plenty ofirrigation. Success has been noted when the maturity of the plant and thedrier part of the growing season correspond. The hot, humid, and relativelywet summers of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast are sufficient to raise the plant tocrop, though the shorter growing season and day-length flowering issues willrestrict the timing and amounts of yields.

    Uses

    This bean has been called the "one species supermarket" because practicallyall of the plant is edible. The beans are used as avegetable,but the otherparts (leaves, flowers, andtuberousroots) are also edible. The tender pods,which are the most widely eaten part of the plant (and best eaten whenunder 1" in length), can be harvested within two to three months of

    planting. The flowers are often used to colorriceand pastries. The flavor ofthe beans has a similarity toasparagus.The young leaves can be picked andprepared as aleaf vegetable,similar tospinach.The roots can be used asaroot vegetable,similar to thepotato,and have a nutty flavor; they arealso much richer inproteinthan potatoes. The dried seeds can be useful asaflourand also to make acoffee-like drink. Each of these parts of thewinged bean provide a source ofvitamin A,vitamin C,calcium,iron,andothervitamins.The seeds contain 35% protein and 18% oil.

    Potential

    The winged bean is rich in protein and tocopherol, an antioxidant thatincreases vitamin A use in the body (National Research Council (U.S), 1975).Its ability to grow in heavy rainfall makes the species a good candidate toadequately nourish the people of tropical equatorial countries in Africa. Thewing bean can also be used to produce winged bean milk made from water,winged beans, and emulsifier. Winged bean milk has similar characteristicsas soymilk without the same bean-rich flavour.

    reported as an effective remedy for smallpox and as a cure for vertigo inMalaya. The winged bean also provides many opportunities for economicbenefit. Many parts of the winged bean can be sold. Mature seeds can bringin a high price . There is evidence of smoked pods, uncooked tubers, cookedtubers, dry seeds, and leaves being sold in domestic markets in South East

    and South Asia. Winged bean also has the potential to be used as animalfeed for livestock and poultry. The winged bean also has the potential to beused as a replacement for fish meal used to raise African catfish (Clariasgariepinus), a highly valued food fish in Africa. Feeding fish represents alarge portion of operating cost for fish farmers and fishmeal is scarce andhigh-priced. Winged bean can be used as the primary protein source for fishfeed to reduce farmer dependence on fish meal availability. Winged beanalso shows potential as a cover crop and a restorative crop. Planting wingedbean uniform with the ground can reduce weeds and function well as a covercrop. The winged bean can also function effectively as a restorative crop thatcan improve nutrient poor soil with nitrogen when it is turned over into thesoil.

    A native of South Pacific Islands, Papua New Guinea, it was introduced in Indiaduring1799, and is grown in Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Orissa, andother southern States, according to Dr. G. S. Sahu, Assistant Professor, Department ofAgriculture at the College of Horticulture, Orissa University of Agriculture andTechnology (OUAT), Bhubaneswar, Orissa.

    Also known as Goa bean, four-angled bean or asparagus pea, winged bean yieldsprotein-rich pods, and its succulent leaves, tender shoots resembling lacy asparagus,seeds, flowers and tuberous roots are also edible.

    This robust, climbing herbaceous perennial, which reaches up to 5 metres in height, isalso grown in different parts of the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. In spite of itsmultiple uses and whole plant utilisation, this promising legume has been listed amongthe neglected tropical beans.

    The tender pods, which are the most widely eaten part of the plant, can be harvested in

    two to three months of planting.

    The long pods, which can reach up to 50 cm in length, are rich sources of proteins,carbohydrates and vitamin A (300 to 900 International Units). The pods may be eatenraw or used in salads, soups, stews and curries.

    The immature pods can also be used as peas. The matured pods can be stewed,boiled, fried, roasted or made into milk. The seeds mimic soyabean in composition andnutritive value, and it can be promoted as a possible `soyabean for the tropics',according to Dr. Sahu.

    The seeds contain 29.8 to 39 per cent protein, 15 to 18 per cent fat and 23.9 to 42 percent carbohydrate, according to him. The tender top three sets of leaflets can be eatenraw like spinach or cooked as greens. They are rich in vitamin A (20,000 IU), and 5 to7.6 protein and 3 to 8.5 percent carbohydrates.

    The vines produce starchy underground tubers. These tubers are eaten like potatoes,and are harvested 120 to 240 days after planting. The tuber formation is quite commonin Papua New Guinea. In the Philippines, however, the tubers are relatively smaller andthey are not eaten. The tubers are 2 to 4 cm in diameter and 8 to 12 cm in length.

    They contain 12.2 to 15 per cent protein (2 to 4 times higher than that of potato and 8times more than that of cassava), 0.5 to 1.1 per cent fat and 27.2 to 30.5 per centcarbohydrate. The tubers are peeled after boiling, fried or baked before use.

    Winged bean is not commercially cultivated. It is mostly confined to home gardens andbackyard cultivation. This legume does well in humid tropics with high rainfall. It comesup well in loamy soils endowed with adequate drainage.

    The plant responds well to organic nutrition and the application of biofertilizers,

    especially Rhizobium. Being a short-day length-loving plant, it flowers when the daylength hovers just above 12 hours. Though, the plant is endowed with an extensive rootsystem, it cannot stand drought conditions.

    There are no serious pests or diseases that cripple the plant. Only a few problems such

    as false smut and root-knot nematodes have been encountered while growing wingedbeans, and they can be managed well by using ecologically sound plant protectionstrategies(The Hindu.Sci Tech, Sep 26, 2002).

    There is the need to popularise Winged Bean in view of its versatility of usefulness fromLEAF TO ROOT.
