An experiment was carried out to study the “Influence of different growing media on rapid multiplication of turmeric (Curcuma longa) by protray technique ” was carried out in kalavai, Ranipet district. The experiment was carried out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 11 treatments. In this study, the different treatments comprising of T1: Red soil,T2: Coir pith,T3: Red soil + FYM (1:1),T4: Red soil + Vermi compost (1:1),T5: Coir pith + FYM (1:1),T6: Coir pith + Vermicompost (1:1),T7: Red soil + Coir pith + FYM (1:1:1),T8: Red soil + Coir pith+ Vermicompost (1:1:1),T9: Red soil +FYM + Vermicompost (1:1:1) ,T10: Red soil + Vermicompost + FYM + Coirpith (1:1:1),T11: Control (Garden soil only). Turmeric minisetts is planted under various composition of media and observations were recorded for best media for rapid multiplication by protray technique. The study revealed that the T7 - Red soil + Coir pith + FYM (1:1:1) in turmeric recorded significantly good vegetative growth and when compared to other treatments and T1 - Red soil is recorded to produce least growth on turmeric plants. Observations were recorded on growth parameters including plant height, leaf area, root length, length of leaves, pseudostem girth, other yield and quality attributes.
