| dc.description.abstract | The concentration and accumulation of curcumin and essential oil in the rhizomes of three turmeric cultivars grown in monoculture and as intercrop in coconut garden were determined. The maximum concentration of both curcumin and essential oil attained prior to the maturity of the rhizome. The cultivars showed differential response towards :the cropping systems in their curcumin and essential oil contents in the rhizome. The change in the accumulation as well as concentration of essential oil was different from those of curcumin as influenced by the cropping systems. | en_US |
