Plant Details
Turmeric is a tropical spice known for its vibrant yellow color and medicinal properties. It grows well in warm, humid climates with temperatures between 20–30°C and thrives in loose, well-drained loamy soil rich in organic matter. Turmeric rhizomes are planted and harvested 7–9 months later. The rhizomes are boiled, dried, and ground into powder used in cooking, cosmetics, and traditional medicine. Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound. It supports digestion, boosts immunity, and is widely used in skincare. Cultivation involves regular irrigation, weeding, and pest management. Turmeric is a valuable cash crop with high demand in global markets due to its health benefits and culinary uses.
