Seven genotypes of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) were evaluated under irrigated condition for two consecutive years at Fruit Research Station, Banswara (Rajasthan). The genotypes varied in their production potential, growth characters and curcumin content. Pooled data revealed that variety Suroma produced maximum plant height (134.17 cm), number of tillers per plant (5.39), single plant yield (0.431 kg) and yield per hectare of fresh rhizome (231.11 q/ha) and it was at par with the production of Roma (216.40 q/ha). These two varieties viz., Suroma and Roma were significantly superior among all the varieties during both the seasons and are suitable for general cultivation in the southern parts of Rajasthan, whereas, Pratibha variety exhibited highest curcumin content (3.12 g/100g) followed by Roma (2.69 g/100g).
