A field experiment on the effect of organic and inorganic nutrients for the growth of Kaali Haldi (Curcuma caesia) under Nilgiri (Eucalyptus) based agroforestry system was conducted at the Herbal Garden of Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during the year 2024 to 2025. The total number of treatments (T1 100% inorganic, T2 75% inorganic, T3 50% inorganic, T4 25% inorganic, T5 75% inorganic + 25% organic, T6 50% inorganic + 50% organic, T7 25% inorganic + 75% organic, T8 100% organic and T9 Control zero fertilizer) were nine, while Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications were used to evaluate the effect of various nutrient combinations under agroforestry model. Results indicated that growth and yield attributes significantly impacts on plant height (101.98 cm), number of leaves (15.01), and tillers (3.46) were recorded with T1 at 120 Days After Planting (DAP) while mother rhizome length (6.95 cm), mother rhizome width (6.03 cm) finger rhizome length (7.67 cm) finger rhizome width (2.37 cm) were observed in T6 whereas lowest was observed in T9.
