Harvesting
Harvesting
Yellowing, withering and drying of leaves are the maturity indices of turmeric. The turmeric crop is ready for harvesting in about 7 to 9 months after sowing depending upon the variety. The aromatica types mature in about 7 months and the long types in about 9 months and the intermediate types in about 8 months. The dry leaves are cut close to the ground. The land is irrigated, if necessary and ploughed in between the rows if the crop is planted on ridges. Otherwise a crowbar is used. The rhizomes are then dug up.
Yield:
The yield of the pure crop varies from 15,000 to 20,000 kg per ha. Under exceptionally favorable conditions, viz., abundant manuring and plentiful irrigation it may be as high as 30,000 kg per ha. The cured produce is 20 to 25 per cent of the fresh rhizomes by weight.
