Response of different nutrient sources on turmeric grown as intercrop under coconut garden
Research Type
Departmental Research
Experiment Background
India has been a traditional producer, consumer and exporter of turmeric, but the productivity of turmeric inIndia is lowest in the world. In the present day agriculture, supplementary and complementary role of organics is being increasingly felt for sustainable productivity and keeping the soil health in order.Turmeric responds to applications of organic matter and experimental evidences are available on the beneficial effects of organic maters on growth, productivity and quality of turmeric. Its nutrient requirement is quite high due to shallow rooting and capacity to produce large amount of dry matter per unit area. Therefore, the need-based application of plant nutrients through organic manures is essential to optimum growth. Adoption of different natural farming modules by using organic manures and components are necessary for sustaining soil fertility and productivity. Hence, keeping the above aspects and importance in view the present study was taken up to evaluate the effect of different types of modules on growth and yield of turmeric.
