Abstract
|
|
|
Studies were carried to evaluated the influence of storage method by temperatures and fillers on yield and quality of seed rhizome in turmeric. Seed rhizome was stored at styrofoam box filled with rice hull and sand (3:1) or vermiculite for 30, 60 and 90 days at different temperatures (5, 10 and 15℃. compared to traditional method (rhizome only). Parameters were obtained for weight loss, cold injury, percentage of decayed in stored rhizome during storage periods. Also,the germination, growth pattern and yield from stored rhizome has been investigated. It was confirmed that storage of turmeric
in stored with filled with vermiculite helps in prevention of rhizomes from microbial and fungal attack. The storage of
rhizomes in styrofoam box without any filler at low temperature below 10℃. is not advocated due to heavy losses weight
and decayed in management of postharvest for turmeric rhizome. Germination percentage, growth pattern and yield was
maximum for rhizomes stored at styrofoam box filled with vermiculite for 90 days at 15℃. The paper outlines a brief
attempt to assess the efficacy of non-chemical methods including optimal storage method (temperature and filler) of control of decay and moisture losses during storage of turmeric.
