Turmeric farming in Nanded
Turmeric is a long-duration rhizome crop where soil health and root-zone nutrition decide rhizome size. In Nanded, Maharashtra, the soil is black cotton (regur) soils. Black soils hold moisture well, but zinc and boron availability is often low in high-pH patches, so micronutrient sprays tend to pay off.
Other crops grown around Nanded include cotton, sugarcane and banana, so plan sprays crop by crop rather than one schedule for the whole farm.
Two problems Nanded growers keep an eye on in turmeric are shoot borer and pale, thin leaves. Mayura Gold is positioned for long-duration protection from early shoot borer and top borer.
