A field experiment was carried out during kharif season of the year 2014-15 and 2015-16 at the Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (Maharashtra) to study the effect of land configuration, irrigation level and nutrient management on yield and quality of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). A set of twenty four treatment combinations of land configuration, irrigation level and nutrient management (2 x 3 x 4) were laid out in a Split plot design with three replications. The experimental results revealed that total yield of turmeric ha-1 and yield of cured fingers ha-1, were recorded significantly superior in broad bed furrow of land configuration, irrigation level 40 mm CPE (I1), application of 100 % RDF + 25 % RDN through vermicompost and treatment combination 40 mm CPE with 100% RDF + 25% RDN through vermicompost. The curcumin, oleoresin and curing percent did not influenced due to different land configuration treatments whereas irrigation level 40 mm CPE, application of 100% RDF + 25% RDN through vermicompost and treatment combination 40 mm CPE with 100% RDF + 25% RDN through vermicompost were significantly higher as compare to other treatments.
