 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out at the experimental farm, Department of Horticulture, AKS University, Satna during 2014-15. The trials were laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications using ten genotypes of turmeric. The traits analyzed were plant height (cm), length of leaf (cm), width of leaf (cm), number of leaves/plant, number of tillers/plant, number of mother rhizomes/plants, number of daughter rhizomes/plant, weight of mother rhizomes/plant (g), weight of daughter rhizomes per plant (g), weight of total rhizomes/plant (g), yield of cured rhizomes per plant (g), and harvest index (%). As per analysis of the data, Rajendra Sonia, Morangia, Vontimitta and Suvarna were found to be the most promising genotypes identified during this investigation.

Key words:  Rhizomes, Genotypes, Turmeric, Horticulture.
