Print

After 3 years of research on the cultivation of turmeric, it is clear that we can successfully grow turmeric in our region. With nice harvest results, even in unheated tunnel, PCG was able to produce some useful documents for growers. First of all, a cultivation manual for the cultivation of turmeric in northwest Europe. Exploratory research was also done on cultivation on an aeroponics system, see this document. Finally, a first techno-economic analysis of cultivation was also prepared.
