[Rules of the absorption, distribution and translocation of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in turmeric plant].
It has been found out that the percentages of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in turmeric plant (Curcuma longa) are higher in young organs. Varying with the growth stages, the nutrient contents of the plant, whose amount order is K > N > P are the highest in the seedling stage. Nutrient absorption occurs mainly in the young turmeric forming stage and enriching stage. Nutrient translocation takes place mainly from leaves and leaf stalks to young and old turmeric, the rate of P being the highest.
