Shikha bhatt · Accepted Answer

Hello, Turmeric farming is best suited to a warm and humid climate. It grows well in temperatures ranging from 20°C to 35°C and cannot tolerate cold or frost. Turmeric requires well-distributed annual rainfall of about 1000 to 2000 mm, but waterlogging should be strictly avoided. It thrives in a moist and warm environment and can grow well in partial shade, though it also does well in open sunlight. The ideal planting time is June to July, during the onset of the monsoon season, as adequate soil moisture at this time helps in proper sprouting and growth.
