Abstract: Thirty-two (32) genotypes of turmeric from all the North Eastern state of India along with Duggirala Red as check variety were analyzed to study the correlation between yield and yield attributing characters for 44 traits. The study showed that the leaf length, leaf width, and plant height at 105, 135 and 165 DAP showed a significant and positive correlation with rhizome yield. The weight of mother rhizome plant-1, leaf area index (LAI) at 135 DAP and leaf area duration (LAD) at 135 & 165 were found significant and positively correlated with rhizome yield plant-1. Thus, these characters might be considered as important factors in selecting the genotypes for increasing the yield of turmeric in any crop improvement programmes.
