 ABSTRACT

A storage and field experiment was conducted during 2014-15 to study the response of turmeric cv. Salem to pre storage and pre planting seed rhizome treatment. Significantly lowest physiological loss in weight (22.45 %) and shrivelling per cent (2.24 %) was recorded in T7 while the maximum was recorded in T8 (27.06 %) and (10.12 %) respectively. Significantly lowest sprouting per cent (26.22 %) was recorded in T7 while highest (41.08 %) was recorded in T8 during storage under zero energy cool chamber (ZECC). Under field condition results indicated that significantly highest plant height (104.21 cm), number of leaves per plant (18.63), number of tiller per plant (5.89) and leaf area index (5.35) was recorded in T7 and the lowest was recorded in T8 (69.31 cm), (10.61), (2.98) and (4.48) respectively. Significantly maximum yield per plant (592.32 g), yield per plot (18.46 kg) and yield per ha (44.10 t/ha) was recorded in T7 while the minimum  in T8 (322.74 g), (9.67 kg) and (23.91 t/ha) respectively. Significantly lowest per cent disease intensity (21.34 %) was recorded in T7 while the highest in T8 (47.43 %). There was no significant difference among the treatments for quality attributes.

Key words: Seed rhizome treatment, Salem, Growth, Yield and Quality.
