Performance of Turmeric Varieties in Mango-turmeric Agroforestry System

Dr. Md. Faruque Hossain
Senior Scientific Officer
On-Farm Research Division, BARI, Gazipur-1701.

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The trial was conducted at the farmer’s field of Bandarban hill district during Kharif-I, 2014 to evaluate the performance of BARI released turmeric varieties in mango-turmeric agro forestry system. The highest turmeric yield was obtained form BARI Halud-4 (20.83 t ha^-1) and differed from other two BARI Halud varieties. These two varieties were BARI Halud-3 and BARI Halud-5 which produced 17.62 t ha^-1 and 12.76 t ha^-1yields respectively. The local variety produced the lowest yield 11.27 t ha^-1. Farmers preferred BARI Halud-4 for its disease resistance, attractive color and higher yield than the local variety.

Keywords: Turmeric, Mango orchard, Performance, Agroforestry system

Location: Bandarban

Start Date: 00-04-2014

End Date: 00-01-2015

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Mango, Turmeric

Objectives:

To meet up the present need of hill farmers as well as ensure higher yield by introducing high yielding BARI released turmeric varieties in mango-turmeric agro forestry system.

Methodology:

The trial was conducted under gasmanipara at Bandarban during Kharif-I, 2014. Four turmeric varieties: i) BARI Halud-3, ii) BARI Halud-4 iii) BARI Halud-5 and iv) Local were planted from April 20-27, 2014. The plot size was 8m X 5m. The seeds were sown in 50 cm X 25 cm apart rows. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with six dispersed farmers. Fertilizer was used at the rate of 110-35-90-20-1 N-P-K-S-Zn kg ha^-1, respectively with 6000 kg ha^-1 cowdung. Half of the amount of N and the entire amount of cowdung, P-K-S-Zn were applied at final land preparation. The rest N were top dressed at 80 and 110 days after planting. Harvesting of the crops was started from January 22, 2015. The recorded data were analyzed statistically and means were separated as per DMRT.
