For utilization of interspaces of guava orchards for turmeric production, the present investigation was conducted to find out the effect of different planting materials of turmeric cv. Erode Selection-1 on plant growth, yield and economics. Intercropping systems showed significant enhancement in the height of the tree varying from 1.25 to 3.40 over the sole tree. Better growth of the guava tree was observed with intercropping of mother rhizome followed by primary, secondary and tertiary fingers treatments. Mother rhizome gave maximum survival (98.45%), plant height (96.68 cm), number of tillers (4.03), and number of fingers per plant (13.64) with finger size (9.06 cm) and yield (389.47 g/plant) under shade of establishing guava orchard.
