Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at Spices Research Centre, BARI, Shibgonj, Bogra during 2011-2012. Three promising ginger lines (G002, G005 and G006) were evaluated in this study with BARI Ada-1 as checks. Significantly highest no. of tillers/plant, no. of leaves/plant, weight of primary and secondary rhizome, and yield along with better yield contributing characters were observed from the line G005. The highest yield obtained was 19.96 t/ha (G005) and the lowest was 13.08 t/ha (G006).Plant mortality rate due to rhizome rot was also lower in G005.

Keywords: Advanced, Ginger, Line, Promising, Trial, Yield.

Location: Spices Research Center,BARI, Shibganj, Bogra

Start Date: 00-04-2011

End Date: 00-02-2012

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Ginger

Objectives:

Selection of best line from promising lines for higher yield with better qualities and tolerant to diseases.

Methodology:

This experiment was conducted with 3 ginger lines and BARI Ada-1 as check at SRC, Bogra during April 2011 to February 2012. Rhizomes were sown on 22 April 2011 maintaining 50 cm x 25 cm spacing in the unit plot size 4.0 m x 1.5 m. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The crop was fertilized with cow dung Urea, TSP, MP, Zinc, Gypsum @ 5t, 304kg, 267 kg, 233kg, 3kg, 111kg/ha respectively. The entire quantity of cow dung, TSP, Gypsum and half of MP were applied during land preparation. The half of the Urea was given 50 days after sowing. Remaining MP and Urea were applied in two equal splits at 80 and 110 days after sowing. Intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. The crop was harvested on 16 February 2012.

Achievement/Findings:

No. of tillers/hill, no. of leaves/hill, weight of primary rhizome, weight of secondary rhizome, yield/plant and yield/ha showed significant difference. The highest yield (19.96 t/ha) was obtained from the line G005 followed by G002 (18.75 t/ha) and BARI Ada-1 (15.63 t/ha). The lowest yield (13.08 t/ha) was obtained from G006.
