title: [Effect of different seminal rhizomes on yield and quality of Curcuma longa].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effect of different seminal rhizomes on the growth, quality and quantity of Curcuma longa root.
  
  
  METHODS
  Single factor randomized block design was applied, plant samples were collected and investigated periodically, and dry weight, production and the main active ingredient content were measured.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The difference seminal rhizomes affected the growth, quality and quantity of C. longa root.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The bigger and stronger rhizomes should be chosen as seeds.
