7 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Adding value to tuber crops: Unlocking new opportunities | Indian Horticulture, published by epubs.icar.org.in. Source-evidenced topics include tuber crops, icar-central tuber crops research institute, value addition, postharvest utilization, tropical tuber crops, starch, cassava starch, bioethanol production. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 4 list, 1 definition, 1 factual, 1 summary. 6 of the 7 pairs (85.7%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 1 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset contains seven question-and-answer pairs derived from the publication 'Adding value to tuber crops: Unlocking new opportunities' by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). It highlights the diverse applications and innovations related to tropical tuber crops, including their use in food, industrial products, and eco-friendly materials. The dataset also explores the role of cassava starch in sustainable packaging and bioethanol production, as well as the utilization of cassava stems and leaves for particle boards and biopesticides.
