The ten varieties highly differed in their growth characters, production potential aspects. The observations were recorded attribute like Plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, number of tillers per plant, leaf length (cm), leaf width (cm), number of rhizome per plant, length of rhizome per plant (cm) width of rhizome per plant (cm), fresh weight of rhizome per plant (gm), fresh weight of rhizome (q/ha), dry weight of rhizome (q/ha), curing percentage (%). The experimentation was revealed that, Variety Roma exhibited maximum value of plant height (111.16 cm), Leaf length (60.83 cm), leaf width (16.60 cm), number of rhizome per plant (15.22), Length of rhizome per plant (9.12 cm), weight of rhizome per plant (3.18 cm), Fresh weight of rhizome per plant (484.80 gm), Fresh weight of rhizome (306.95 q/ha),dry weight of rhizome (64.90 q/ha) and curing percentage (24.74%).On the basis of test performance, Roma is adjudged as a promising turmeric cultivar for general cultivation in area of North East region of Uttar Pradesh.
