Abstract


A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Bhavanisagar, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, during June 2010 – March 2011 to study the effect of organic sources of nutrients (wellgro soil, wellgro pellets, wellgro grains and farm yard manure) and recommended dose of fertilizer (150:60:100) on growth and yield of turmeric. The results revealed that the application of 100 % RDF along with 40 % total weight of chemical fertilizer as wellgro soil (350 kg ha -1 ) recorded higher growth parameters, yield attributes and rhizome yield (26,076 kg ha -1 ) followed by application of 75 % RDF along with 40 % of total weight of chemical fertilizer as wellgro pellets (260 kg ha -1 ) .
