Application of growth regulators in Ginger and turmeric: A review

Abstract

Plant growth regulators had a potential impact on the agriculture sector, due to its immediate effect on the crop and less time consuming. When administered at lower quantities itself, a bio-regulator can stimulate, inhibits, or changes plant morphological and physiological processes. In present scenario of pursued population growth and limited land availability utilization of plant growth regulators would sustain plant productivity and quality. The major constrain in the field of production of ginger include low production of quality rhizomes. These paper reviews the research work done on the ginger and turmeric using various growth regulators to respond to current needs of enhancing yield in market and drive further growth in ginger and turmeric industry.
