چکیده
The present investigation was carried out at field trail of Main Experimental Station, Vegetable Science N.D.U.A. & T., Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.) during 2011-12 to study the performance of turmeric cultivars. Cultivar NDH-7 and NDH-8 was found superior in growth characteristics such as plant height, yield of rhizome/plant. NDH-8 found tallest (111.2 cm) while, yield of rhizome per plant was recorded in NDH-7 (303.00 g). The results showed that moisture, mineral, curcumin and essential oil ranged from 9.4 to 12.2 per cent, 3.39 to 5.30 per cent, 3.7 to 5.9 per cent and 3.32 to 8.19 per cent, respectively. NDH-7, NDH-8 and Prahba were found superior among all cultivars and variety.

متن کاملEffect of Pre-Harvest Calcium Chloride Spraying on Maintaining Fruit Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Capacity of Three Citrus Cultivars during Storage
Bioactive components play an important role in human health. In general, bioactive compounds of fruits decline during storage. Therefore, maintaining fruits bioactive compounds during storage is very important. In this study, effects of pre-harvest CaCl2 sprays (0, 1, 2, and 4%) at different fruit development stages (120, 140, and 160 days after full bloom) on maintaining fruit quality of thre...
