Water stress influence of Rajendrasonia and Pitamber turmeric varieties

Turmeric varieties viz., Rajendrasonia and Pitamber were subjected to water stress by irrigating at different intervals. Impact of on morphological, physiological yield parameters both the investigated. In this study irrigation treatments divided into three groups. Group A, control receives weekly once. For every two weeks once group B was irrigated for C irrigated. Plants which are under heavy showed gradual reduction in parameters, i.e. plant height, number leaves, leaf area, area index, Net Assimilation rate, Relative Growth rate , fresh dry weight rhizome. growth slightly affected moderate compared control. condition severely stress. Among selected less all except leaves number, tuberous roots length
