ABSTRACT
Common problems in storage of turmeric are rotting, sprouting, desiccation and attack of insects. Therefore adopting proper pre-storage treatments will help in minimizing the storage losses of valuable planting material of which turmeric is planted during May-June. Rhizomes are harvested during December- February, Therefore, it is inevitable to store the seed rhizomes in healthy and viable condition for 3 to 4 months before planting. In the cultivation of rhizomatic spices, the costliest input is the- seed rhizome. Nearly 17-20 per cent of the produce is retained for seed purpose and these rhizomes are perishable in nature, susceptible to rotting, sprouting and shriveling. Therefore proper seed rhizome treatment with suitable fungicides and insecticides is necessary to keep them in healthy and viable conditions.
