The cultivation schemes, productivity, total biochemical, lipid in particular, composition of nodules of chufa (Cyperus esculentus) were studied, using a phytotron. Upon continuous illumination chufa yielded a high total productivity and a satisfactory coefficient of economic effectiveness (not less than 50%). Chufa nodules have an optimal ratio of proteins, carbohydrates and fats containing essential fatty acids. To meet man's requirements for vegetable oils and essential fatty acids, it is necessary to produce daily 150--200 g dry chufa nodules which are quite acceptable as a dietary ingredient.
利用人工气候室对油莎豆（Cyperus esculentus）的种植方案、生产力、总生化成分，特别是脂质以及根瘤组成进行了研究。在持续光照下，油莎豆具有较高的总生产力和令人满意的经济效益系数（不低于50%）。油莎豆根瘤中蛋白质、碳水化合物和含有必需脂肪酸的脂肪比例最佳。为满足人类对植物油和必需脂肪酸的需求，每天需要生产150 - 200克干油莎豆根瘤，作为饮食成分是完全可以接受的。
