Abstract: An experiment was conduct to know the effect of turmeric planting material and rooting media on the growth and yield of transplanted turmeric. Among the various planting materials used with different rooting media T8 found to be significantly superior treatment which had influenced on growth parameters like percent establishment (99.17), plant height (85.37 cm), number of leaves (17.93) and number of tillers (3.27) was higher in T9. It also significantly influenced in getting maximum fresh rhizome yield per clump (384.47 g), plot (12.75 kg) and hectare (23.60 t). The purpose of use of disc was to minimize the use of planting material which had come true through T10. Use of mother rhizome direct planting was the control. Use of mother rhizomes had resulted in comparatively higher yields but getting the required quantity of mother rhizome difficult. Use of primary rhizomes in the mixture of cocopeat and vermicompost has resulted in higher yield compared to mother rhizomes.
