    Effect of population density and seed-rhizome size on the yield and profit potential of turmeric
    (1982) Maurya, K.R.; Jha, R.C.
    Results of a trial to investigate the influence of population density and seed rhizome size on productivity in turmeric (Curcuma domestiea Val.) are reported. The productivity and seed requirement/1m are directly related to population density. The bulking effcacy is inversely related to population density. The profit potential attains a maximum at the population density of 1,11,000/ha. Similarly, profit potential is maximum when whole daughter rhizomes weighing around 2Sg are used as seed material followed by whole mother rhizomes weighing around 30g, and daughter rhizomes with 3 buds weighing around 20g.
