Our Tissue Culture Turmeric Plants

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is an ancient spice, native of India and South East Asia used from antiquity as spice and a dye. It is commonly propagated through rhizomes. The availability of disease free quality planting material is scarce during the cropping season (June – September). In vitro derived turmeric plants with conventional rhizome under field condition showed better performance over the conventional rhizome planting. Tissue culture plants grew vigorously and taller than conventional type.

• True to the type
• High market value
• Healthy and disease free.
• Economically highly profitable as the planting material is in the form of sprouted shoots.
• Throughout the year planting can be done
• Tissue culture planting material accommodates less space and more plants
• Tissue culture plants are used for making the good quality seed material for the next year.
