Preharvest Combined Application of Triacontanol and Kinetin Could Ameliorate the Growth, Yield and Curcumin Content of Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.)

Application of growth regulators in Ginger and turmeric: A review

“…Venugopal et al, 2017 [70] found that foliar spray of GA at 100ppm as effective treatment for the commercial production of turmeric. In order to improve the productivity in turmeric the combined application of Triacontanol and kinetin found be better at an concentration of 10 -6 M TRIA + 1.0×10 -5 M KN in most parameters such as plant height, fresh mass, number of leaves, number of tillers per plant (Masroor et al, 2006) [71] .…”

“…Maximum yield per plot and number ~ 326 ~ of primary rhizomes, length of primary rhizomes found to be higher in GA 100ppm foliar spray Venugopal et al, 2017 [70] . Masroor et al, 2006 [71] reported that the foliar application of the 10 -6 M Triacontanol + 1.0×10 -5 M Kinetin (T3) ameliorate leaf-N content (R=0.999) and total chlorophyll content (R=0.997), curcumin yield in turmeric. Exogenous foliar application of Paclobutrazol on two different varieties of turmeric was noticed by Chungloo et al, 2021 [81] and its effect on curcuminoids, photosynthetic abilities, total soluble sugar, and rhizome yield.…”
