Abstract: A field experiment was conducted on Effect of planting material and plant growth regulators on growth of turmeric at Department of Horticulture, Dr. PDKV. Akola. Maharashtra during 2017-18 and 2018-19. There were 18 treatments laid in FRBD with 2 replications viz., M1-Mother rhizome M2-Primary finger and P1- GA3 – 100 ppm, P2- GA3 – 200 ppm, P3- Ethrel – 50 ppm, P4- Ethrel - 100 ppm, P5- Kinetin - 50 ppm, P6- Kinetin - 100 ppm, P7 - Cycocel – 250 ppm, P8- Cycocel - 500 ppm, P9- Control – Water. The results revealed that the growth parameters were significantly influenced by the planting material and plant growth regulators. Among the planting material, M1 i.e. Mother rhizome was found significantly superior in respect of days foe emergence, emergence count (%), plant height, leaf area (Cm2) and plant survival (%) and M2 i.e. Primary finger was found significantly superior in terms of no. of tillers/plant and no. of leaves/plant. Regarding the PGR’s P5-Kinetin 50 ppm was found significantly superior for days for emergence and emergence count (%) and the treatment P6-Kinetin 100 ppm was found maximum plant survival (%). The treatment P2-GA3-200 ppm was found significantly superior in plant height at 60,120 and 180 DAP and leaf area. The treatment P8-CCC 500 ppm was found maximum no. of tillers and maximum no. of leaves/plant. An interaction effect of planting material and PGR’s in respect of growth parameters i.e. days for emergence and emergence count (%) was found significant with treatment combination M1P5-Mother rhizome + Kinetin 50 ppm. In plant survival (%) was found significant in M1P6-Mother rhizome + Kinetin 100 ppm and no. of tillers/plant, no. of leaves /plant was found significantly superior in treatment combination of M2P8-Primary finger + CCC 500 ppm. Plant height and leaf area was found superior in treatment combination M1P2-Mother rhizome + GA3 200 ppm.
