Three genotypes namely, Salem Local - G1 (CL144), Alleppy finger turmeric - G2 (CL146) and PTS 43 - G3 (CL147) were treated with seven doses of gamma rays (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 kR) along with control. The plants matured earlier and yield per plant and curing percentage improved at 2.0 kR, followed by 2.5 kR, whereas, higher doses of gamma rays had a negative effect on yield and curing percentage and these higher doses prolonged maturity. Among the genotypes used, G1 (CL144) was found to show a good response to gamma irradiation.H Usha Nandhini DeviN ChezhiyanSociety for Promotion of Horticulture - Indian Institute of Horticultural Researcharticlegamma raysturmeric cropirradiationyieldcuring percentagePlant cultureSB1-1110ENJournal of Horticultural Sciences, Vol 1, Iss 2, Pp 124-128 (2006)
