Seven genotypes of mango turmeric and two genotypes of blue turmeric were taken for the investigation in order to find out the suitability of cultivating these medicinally enriched genotypes in the terrain region of West Bengal. Standard package of practices was adopted for developing the genotypes in this region. Characterization, which is mandatory for conservation of germplasms was done according to the DUS descriptors ic developed by Indian Institute of Spices Research. Randomized blocked design was adopted for evaluation and characterization of mango ginger and blue turmeric where MG-6 was found to have highest yield per plot, MG-8 was found to have highest rhizome wt, MG-4 was found to have highest number of mother rhizome, MG-1 highest rhizome length in quantitative estimations of rhizome and qualitative estimation of each genotype was done for characterization to evaluate the performances of all the genotypes in this region.
