Effects of types and sizes of seed rhizomes on growth, yield and quality of tumeric was studied at Kaohinsorn Research Station, Panomsarakam district, Chachoengsao province between may 1994 and January 1995. The results showed that the most suitable seed rhizomes giving the highest yield per unit area of tumeric were the whole mother corms followed by the 1 rhizomes with 5-6 internodes and the half-cut mother corms, respectively. The whole mother corms produced the most rapid growth and development of the underground stems. The 1 rhizomes with 3-4 internodes, the 2 rhizomes with 3-4 internodes and the 3 rhizomes with 3-4 internodes were not suitable for commercial production.
