Twenty-three genotypes of turmeric collected from Meghalaya, Assam and Tripura were evaluated at Barapani Farm, Meghalaya. BD-7-105 (18), DKH-26 (13), AH6/2(12) and BD-17(8) were among five top ranking genotypes for six characters. There were four distinct morphological complexes recognised on the basis of total yield per plant and weight of primary rhizomes. Within group, morphological variations were of low order. Majority of the high scoring genotypes were in group III and IV characterized by high yield.
