Turmeric fingers

Turmeric planting is a laborious and time consuming field operation when performed manually. The semi-automatic Turmeric planters are operate due to limitations on manual feeding rates of finger which vary with respect to work duration and skill of the operator. Automation in the field of Turmeric planters has provided opportunities for savings in labour and time required for planting operation in open field and controlled environmental structures. The advent and recent advances in planting technologies suggest ample scope of working on automated Finger pickup and drop mechanisms.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) fingers (Salem) sample was divided into three grades (I: 30–40 mm, II: 40–50 mm and III: 50–60 mm) according to its major dimension to study physical properties. Geometric properties viz., length, breath, thickness, arithmetic mean diameter, geometric mean diameter, square mean diameter, equivalent diameter...

Total 9 SSR markers were utilized to study the genetic relatedness among all thirty genotypes of turmeric. Six identified SSR markers are highly informative for genetic studies and are extremely useful in distinguishing the polymorphism rate at a specific locus in turmeric. Primer pair’s viz., 11 and 12, 5 and 6 and 13 and 14 generated higher levels of polymorphism and these could be used to differentiate turmeric genotypes under study. The molecular diversity analysis indicated presence of ample genetic diversity among the genotypes studied, which were grouped into 2 clusters.
