Abstract
Asplit-split plot experiment was conducted during 1981-82 at the College of Horticulture, Vellanikkara using Kasturi Tenuka as the test variety with a view to arriving at the optimum time of planting, spacing and weight of planting material that can be advocated for commercial cultivation of turmeric. The treatments were early May, middle of May and early June planting, 10 x 20 cm, 15 x 20 cm and 20 x 20 cm spacing and 20 g, 40 g and 60 g weight of the planting material. The crop performance was analysed based on germination , growth and yield parameters. The percentage germination was higher for the early June planted crop with 20 x 20 cm spacing and 60 g planting material
