Check out the benefits of tree bean, Parkia timoriana or Yongchak.
Yongchak or “Parkia timoriana” is one of the most sought after beans in Manipur.
Yongchak should be planted along with other crops as the plant can absorb atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into fertiliser that can be available to other crops, said Union minister RK Ranjan Singh.
The need for Yongchak conservation was highlighted at a two-day state-level workshop cum exhibition of tree beans, organised by ICAR Manipur, which was inaugurated on Monday.
There is a vast decline of yongchak population in Manipur and no report is yet made. Many believe to be the wave of mobile phone and mobile tower; others reported the change in environmental factor..
The governor was speaking as chief guest at the inaugural session of the ‘one day National Seminar on Dying of Tree Beans in Manipur: Remedies and Steps towards Conservation’.
