| Description |
Turmeric belongs to the genus Curcuma of the tribe Hedychieae in the family Zingiberaceae. Nambiar et al. (1982) reported two distinct types in turmeric viz., flowering and non-flowering. Philip (1978) has found that out of nineteen turmeric collections evaluated, only IS were flowered. In crop like sugarcane, flowering was found to reduce the cane yield and quality (Rao, 1977). Similarly, tuber quality in yam bean (a leguminous root crop)was also affected by flowering compared to nonflowered plants (Vimala and Nambisan, 2005). But in turmeric, effect of flowering on yield and quality was not known and hence, this study. |
