Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in the year 2014-15 and 2015-16, at Horticulture research farm, Jaguli, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal, in factorial randomized block design with four replications using five varieties of turmeric viz. Suguna, Alleppy Supreme, Rashmi, Rajendra Sonia and Duggirala. The varieties varied in their production potential, growth characters and curcumin content. The pooled data revealed that the variety Rajendra Sonia produced maximum plant height (128.56 cm), number of tillers per plant (2.77), number of primary rhizomes (6.81), length of primary rhizomes (6.36 cm) and rhizome yield per hectare (320.37 q/ha) followed by suguna. Therefore, results led to a conclusion that, the two varieties viz., Rajendra Sonia and Suguna were superior among all the varieties during both the seasons and are suitable for cultivation in gagnetic alluvial plains of West Bengal, whereas, suguna variety exhibited highest curcumin content (4.53 g/100g) followed by Rajendra Sonia (4.16 g/100g).
