ICAR Research Complex for N. E. H. Region, Manipur Centre, Imphal, 795 001
Correlations and path coefficient studies on turmeric were carried out using seventeen strains at ICAR Research Complex Manipur, Imphal during the year 1984. Yield/plant showed positive significant correlation with plant height, number of suckers/plant, length of leaves, width of leaves, and length and width of rhizomes. Suggesting thereby that the phenotypic selection could be made on the basis of the said characters. Path analysis revealed that number of suckers/plant had maximum direct contribution towards yield followed by length and width of rhizomes and length of leaves.
