Eight turmeric genotypes including the released variety "DAME" from the germplasm held at Tepi National Spices Research Center, Ethiopia, were evaluated during the season of 2014-2016 at six locations in order to select high yielding, stable and good quality turmeric cultivars for release. At each location, the experiment was laid out in RCBD in three replications. From the result HT3/2002 were surpass both the accessions evaluated in plant height, leaf width, leaf length, tillering ability, rhizome length and width as well as fresh rizome yield and dry recovery percentage, whereas, Dame the released variety were found poor performance in all location, HT3/2002, were perform good in all location except at Areka, whereas other genotype were found poor performance at Bebeka, Metu, and Wolkite University locations and Tepi and Jimma locations are best for turmeric production. Oleoresin content were found different in the variety and location evaluated, which is ranged from HT2/2002 (7.68) at Tepi to Bonga 51/71 (5.77) at Bebeka.. The effect of location on all attributes was significant (P < 0.05) with Welkite location giving consistently the least values for all attributes thus suggesting that this location may not be suitable for the commercial production of turmeric. Genotype by environment interaction for most attributes was not significant indicating that the genotypes responded the same way across the locations. Two genotypes, viz., HT3/2002 and BONGA (51/71) are identified have been found promising and evaluated by variety evaluating committee for official release.
