ABSTRACT

India is recognised as the spice capital of the world, and Indian spices have a solid reputation. Turmeric, the golden spice, is widely grown in India, China, Myanmar, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Indonesia, among other places. India is the largest of these countries in terms of both area and Production. The study deals with the cultivation practices of turmeric farmers in Karnataka. Turmeric growers face a variety of challenges, including a shortage of labour, a lack of agricultural research stations for the turmeric crop, a lack of quality seed, a lack of technology, and storage issues. Many essential suggestions have been offered to help turmeric growers solve their challenges. including a guaranteed and reasonable selling price, timely availability of quality seeds and credits, timely guidance of VEWs and the organisation of farmer exhibitions, subsidised fertilisers and pesticides, and the establishment of a separate turmeric research station.
