Abstract

The present investigation was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Bhavanisagar, using 148 turmeric
accessions along with two varieties. The genotypes were evaluated in Randomized Complete Block Design with two
replications to ascertain extent of variability, heritability and genetic advance for yield and other horticultural traits
among the genotypes. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among all the genotypes for all the
characters under study. Eight genotypes viz., BS 9, BS 50, BS 100, BS 122, CL101, B 2, B 3, CL 101, CL 206, and two
varieties BSR 1and BSR 2 were found to be high yielding. They could be the promising parents for utilization in further
breeding programmes. Moderate PCV and GCV were observed for yield of rounds plot . High heritability estimates
were observed for all the characters viz., plant height, no. of leaves plant , no of tillers, rhizome yield plot , finger
rhizome yield and mother rhizome yield with projected yield (t ha ) studied
