Ginger Germplasm Evaluation

M. A. Islam
Spices Research Center, BARI, Bogura, Bangladesh

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at Spices Research Centre, BARI, Shibganj, Bogra during April 2019 to February 2020 to select the promising ginger germplasm for releasing a variety. Twenty different ginger lines (G0020, G0021, G0022, G0023, G0033, G0044, G0025, G0026, G0034, G0041, G0042, G0046, G0045, G0043, G004, G0010, G0036, G0031, G0040, and G0032) with BARI Ada-1 as check were evaluated based on their yield and other characters. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Significantly the highest plant height, number of tillers/plant, number of leaves/plant, weight of primary and secondary rhizome were observed in the line G0044. The highest yield (35.20 t/ha) was also obtained from G0044 and the lowest yield (18.51 t/ha) was found from G0021 line.

Keywords: Ginger, Germplasm, Evaluation

Start Date: 16-04-2019

End Date: 12-03-2020

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Ginger

Objectives:

To evaluate the yield and yield components of twenty ginger germplasm collected from different parts of Bangladesh

Methodology:

This experiment was conducted at Spices Research Center, BARI, Bogra during April 2019 to February 2020 to select the promising ginger germplasm for releasing a variety. Twenty different ginger lines (G0020, G0021, G0022, G0023, G0033, G0044,G0025, G0026, G0034, G0041, G0042, G0045, G0043, G004, G0010, G0036, G0046, G0031, G0040, and G0032)and BARI Ada-1 as check were evaluated based on their yield and other characters. Rhizomes were sown on 16 April, 2019, maintaining 60 cm x 30 cm spacing in the unit plot size of 3.0 m x 1.6 m. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The size of the seed rhizome was 45-50g. In addition to 5 t/ha of cow dung, the crop was fertilized with N₁₄₀ P₅₄ K₁₁₇S₂₀Zn₃B₁ kg/ha. The entire quantity of cow dung, P, S, Zn, B and ½ of K was applied during final land preparation. One half N was applied at 50 DAP. The rest K and N was applied with two equal splits at 80 and 110 DAP. To control soft rot disease of ginger seed treatment was done with Ridomil Gold (2g/l of water). To control the same disease foliar application of Ridomil Gold was done three times at 10 days interval starting from 75 DAP. To control rhizome fly Ripcord @ 1ml/L of water was applied at the base of the plant. Three weedings were done at 50, 85 and 110 DAP. The crop was harvested on 12 March 2020. Data on different morphological and yield contributing characters were collected and analyzed using MSTAT program and mean values were separated by DMRT.

Achievement/Findings:

From the above trial, it may be concluded that the line G0044, G0034, G0023 and G0010 was found better in respect of yield, quality and disease infestations. So these line may be selected for AYT in the next year.
