Abstract
The study was conducted at the
Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the
period from April 2008 to April 2009 to evaluate the influence of potassium on
growth and yield of turmeric. The experiment consisted of four levels of
potassium (K0=0 kg, K1=90 kg, K2=110 kg and K3=130 kg K2O ha-1). Results
showed that potassium had significant influence on growth and yield of
turmeric. The highest weight of primary (311.9 g) and secondary (156.1 g)
finger per clump was recorded in K3 and the lowest (226.4 g
and 137.8 g, respectively) in K0. The highest rhizome yield (61.7 t
ha-1) of turmeric was recorded in K3 and the lowest (34.8 t ha-1) in K0.
Key words:
Curcuma Longa, Potassium and Rhizome yield.
