A field experiment was carried out at an experimental field of the Department of Silviculture and Agroforestry, Dr. Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during the years 2019-2020, to determine the effect of tree spacings and nutrient sources on quality attributes of C. longa. The experiment was laid out in Factorial RBD, consisting of three main plot treatments (P. deltoides tree spacings i.e. S1, S2, S0) and eight sub-plot treatments (nutrient sources i.e. T1 to T8) replicated thrice. Application of T3 (75 % RDNF + 25 % RDN through FYM) resulted in maximum quality attributes (curcumin, oleoresin, essential oil, crude fibre content) of C. longa. Under tree spacings, maximum curcumin, oleoresin and essential oil content were registered under wider spacing of P. deltoides (S1) whereas crude fibre content was found maximum in open field (S0).
