Turmeric Cultivation

About

Turmeric is long duration perennial crop that requires a sufficient quantity of manuring and fertilisation. 

Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer on ginger and turmeric after the vegetative growth stage. Too much nitrogen will cause turmeric plants to grow excessive foliage, reducing rhizome yields. Discontinue the application of complete fertilizer when ginger plants begin to flower and then amend with a potassium fertilizer several times as the ginger plants mature to produce plump rhizomes.
