Abstract: Investigation made with mother and finger rhizomes of CO 1 and BSR 1 turmeric by soaking them in water, cowdung solution (1:3), ethel (200 ppm) and potassium nitrate (0.2%) for 24 hrs as well as repeated washing with water for five times revealed that soaking of rhizomes in 0.2% potassium nitrate recorded early germination and enhanced sprouting percentage and seedling vigour. Finger rhizomes were found to be better than mother rhizomes for seed purpose. Percentage of sprouting and seedling vigour were comparatively higher in BSR 1 than CO 1.
