EFFECT OF NITROGEN AND POTASSIUM ON THE YIELD AND QUALITY OF TURMERIC IN HILL SLOPE (Pages : 9 - 14)
M. M. HAQUE, A. K. M. M. RAHMAN, M. AHMED, M. M. MASUD AND M. M. R. SARKERA field study of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) on turmeric was carried out at South-Eastern hill soils at Hill Tracts Agricultural Research Station, Ramgarh, Khagrachari to evaluate the response of turmeric to various levels of N and K. It is revealed that N and k both either in single or in combination had significant effect on yield and yield contributing characters of turmeric. It was also noticed that turmeric was found to be more responsive especially to N and K. However, the combined effect of N and K and increased the yield and other yield parameters up to N180 K100 kg/ha and significantly differed over control (NOKO). The highest plant height (110.2cm and 107.3cm), maximum leaves number per plant (13.8 and 14.3 /plant) and number of fingers (55.10 and 46.8 /plant) were recorded with N180 K100 kg/ha. Similarly, finger size, finger weight and yield were also significantly influenced by applying N and K. The highest finger size (8.7cm x 8.3cm and 8.6cm x 8.7cm), maximum finger weight (450g and 457g /plant), the height turmeric yield (26.7 t/ha and 28.2 t/ha) and the mean yield 27.45 t/ha was recorded by said treatment combination of N180 K100 kg/ha which was highly differed over other treatment and control (NOKO).
