EFFECT OF DIFFERENTIAL APPLICATION OF NITROGEN ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF TURMERIC (Curcuma longa L.)

Abstract

The influence of nitrogen application on the growth and yield of fresh rhizome of turmeric cv. CO. 1 was assessed by conducting two field experiments during cropping seasons of 1980-81 and 1981-82. The turmeric responded favourably and significantly due to increasing levels of N application. Application of nitrogen @ 120 kg/ha was found to enhance the growth and yield of fresh rhizome.
