Curcumin is extracted using methanol and quantified spectrophotometrically at 425 nm. Statistical correlation analysis demonstrates significant association between leaf curcumin content at 45 and 150 days after planting and final rhizome curcumin levels. The invention enables early selection of high-value turmeric varieties, optimized farm resource allocation, accelerated breeding cycles, and improved commercial outcomes."
