Other promising tropical plant - sparzhevyj peas (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) (fig. 16.8). This tropical bean plant is a little subject to attacks of wreckers and diseases, and at the plentiful. polive it can perfectly grow and on rather poor soil. on its roots are available large azotfiksirujushchie klubenki, it gives edible seeds, pods, klubnevidnye roots and leaves with the high maintenance of fibers, and from its seeds it is possible to receive oil, suitable for the use in food. This quickly growing mnogoletnik can be grown up on small farms in the tropical areas which inhabitants suffer from work-novospolnimogo of a lack of fiber in their diet. The majority of people to which this plant is familiar, consider that sparzhevyj peas could play easily for tropics the same role what is played by a soya for a moderate belt. Now it is grown up in significant amounts only in southeast Asia, and also in territory of Papua - New Guinea.

On the nutritious qualities seeds sparzhevogo peas are similar to soybeans; in them there is a fiber with the high maintenance lizina, it is a lot of oil with the high maintenance of nonsaturated fat acids, and they are very vitamin-rich. crop making more of one ton on hectare, apparently, an everyday occurrence. Klubnevidnye roots of these peas which can be used in food just as we use a potato, are especially valuable also that they contain about 20% of fiber. Even vegetative parts sparzhevogo peas can serve as a good nutritious forage for animals.

To solve, how is better to grow up the plants again entered into culture, it is necessary to spend set of researches both on physiology of plants, and after the agricultural technician. We know about biochemistry of synthesis of rubber at gvajuly or wax at hohoby, about dormant periods and growth at Echinochloa or a nitric exchange and albuminous synthesis at sparzhevogo peas more few. Meanwhile such data are necessary for drawing up of programs of selection and crossing and for selection of optimum conditions of cultivation. The further tests of conditions of cultivation Be required to receive from these plants a maximum quantity of the products necessary for the person.
