Nutrient Management in Turmeric crop

Nutrient Application at Different Stages

    1. Nursery Stage:

      For every 5 cents of nursery, the following fertilizers should be applied to ensure healthy seedling growth:

      • Option 1: 4 Kg Urea (2 Kg before sowing + 2 Kg at 10-12 DAS), 2 Kg 13-0-45, and 6 Kg Single Super Phosphate (SSP).
      • Option 2: 4 Kg Urea (2 Kg before sowing + 2 Kg at 10-12 DAS), 2 Kg Diammonium Phosphate (DAP), and 2 Kg Muriate of Potash (MOP)/Sulphate of Potash (SOP).

If Zinc deficiency symptoms appear, foliar spray of KEELATED ZINC (1g/L) or ZIO (2mL/L) will help mitigate the deficiency.

  1. 15 to 30 Days After Sowing: To support early seedling growth, root establishment, and better nutrient uptake.
    • Option 1: 50-100 Kg/acre of 20:20:0:13
    • Option 2: 12:61:0 (2 kg/acre) via drip irrigation
    • Bio-stimulants:
      • VAM PLUS: (500 g/acre) – Enhances root growth and phosphorus uptake
      • SAPHALA: (2.5 ml/L) – Stimulates root and shoot growth
  1. 30 to 45 Days After Sowing: To promote vigorous vegetative growth and strengthen disease resistance.
    • Option 1: Soil applications of 50 Kg/acre of DAP
    • Foliar Spray: ZIMA (1.5 ml/L) – Enhances plant metabolism
    • Soil Application: AZOTOGRO (1L), PHOSPHOGRO (1L), AURENTIAGRO (1L), POSHAK SPECIAL (1L), KAM POSHAK (500g), and ZINC SUPREME (8 Kg/acre) applied near the root zone.
  1. 45 to 60 Days After Sowing: To boost shoot elongation and rhizome formation.
    • Option 1: 12:61:0 (5 kg/acre) via drip irrigation every 3-4 days
    • Additional Inputs: Apply POSHAK SPECIAL (1 L/acre) and CMF (1 kg/acre) either through drip irrigation or by mixing with soil and applying near the root zone to enhance nutrient solubilization and absorption, thereby maintaining plant vigour.
  1. 60 to 80 Days After Sowing: To initiate rhizome development and improve plant resilience.
    • Option 1: 13:40:13 (5 kg/acre) via drip irrigation every 3-4 days
    • Option 2: 50-100 Kg/acre of 14:35:14
    • Foliar Spray:
      • GALAXY: (2.5 ml/L) – Stimulates growth
      • BORON 20+: (1 kg/acre) – Improves rhizome formation
  1. 80 to 100 Days After Sowing: To support rhizome bulking and strengthen the plant structure.
    • Option 1: 19:19:19 (5 kg/acre) via drip irrigation every 3-4 days
    • Option 2: CN (5 kg/acre) via drip irrigation every 3-4 days
    • Foliar Spray:
      • FLOURISH: (1 ml/L) – Enhances nutrient absorption
      • POSHAK: (5 L/acre in two doses) – Provides essential nutrients
  1. 100 to 120 Days After Sowing: To improve rhizome expansion and quality parameters like colour and curcumin content.
    • Option 1: 0:52:34 (5 kg/acre) via drip irrigation every 3-4 days
    • Option 2: 50 Kg/acre of 10:26:26
    • Additional Inputs:
      • HIPPO: (5 kg/acre) – Strengthens rhizome formation
      • BORON 20+: (1 kg/acre) – Enhances nutrient assimilation
      • VAM: (500 g/acre) – Improves phosphorus uptake
  1. 120 to 150 Days After Sowing: To support rhizome maturation.
    • Option 1: 13:0:45 (5 kg/acre) via drip irrigation every 3-4 days
    • Option 2: 0:52:34 (5 kg/acre) or 50 Kg of MOP (spread evenly)
    • Additional Inputs:
      • POSHAK SPECIAL: (1 L/acre) – Boosts quality parameters
      • POSHAK: (5 L/acre in two doses) – Enhances rhizome size and uniformity
  1. 150 to 180 Days After Sowing
To ensure complete rhizome development and enhance storage potential.
  • CN (5 kg/acre), 0:0:50 (5 kg/acre), 13:0:45 (5 kg/acre) via drip irrigation every 3-4 days
  • Additional Inputs:
    • FULL SIZE (1 L/acre) – Improves rhizome shine and firmness
    • KAM POSHAK (500 g/acre) – Enhances yield potential
