The present experiment in turmeric was carried out in Randomized Block Design with three replications during Kharif 2017 at Horticulture Research Station, Dr. , Chinthapalli, Visakhapatnam District. Total nineteen genotypes were evaluated including one national and one local check. Among the genotypes studied, CLA-1 recorded the highest plant height ( cm), leaf length ( cm), CLA-5 recorded the highest number of tillers per plant (), var. Roma recorded the highest leaf width ( cm), var. BSR-2 recorded the highest number of leaves per plant () and highest leaf area ( cm2 ). The maximum yield per plot was observed in CLA-3 ( kg), whereas the minimum was recorded in CLA-10 ( kg). The maximum estimated fresh rhizome yield per hectare was recorded in CLA-3 ( t) and the lowest estimated fresh rhizome yield was recorded in the genotype CLA-10 ( t) when compared to other genotypes under HAT zone conditions. | Performance of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) genotypes for growth and yield under high altitude and tribal zone of Andhra Pradesh
