The experiment was conducted at Spices Research Centre, BARI, Shibgonj, Bogra during April 2012 to February 2013 to select the promising ginger germplasm for releasing a variety. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Thirteen different ginger lines (G001, G003, G004, G0010, G0011, G0012, G0020, G0021, G0022, G0023, G0024, G0025 and G0026) with BARI Ginger-1 as check were evaluated based on yield and other characters. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Significantly highest no of tillers/plant, no of leaves/plant, weight of primary and secondary rhizome, and yield were observed in the line G004. The highest yield obtained was 32.72 t/ha (G004) and the lowest was 15.06 t/ha (G0012).

Variety and Species
To evaluate the yield and yield components of thirteen ginger germplasm collected from different parts of Bangladesh
This experiment was conducted with 13 ginger lines at SRC, Bogra during April 2012 to February 2013 to select the promising ginger germplasm for releasing a variety. Thirteen different ginger lines (G001, G003, G004, G0010, G0011, G0012, G0020, G0021, G0022, G0023, G0024, G0025 and G0026) with BARI Ginger-1 as check were evaluated based on yield and other characters. Rhizomes were sown on 18 April 2012 maintaining 50 cm x 25 cm spacing in the unit plot size 3.0 m x 1.8 m. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The size of the seed rhizome was 40-45g. In addition to 5 t/ha of cow dung, the crop was fertilized with N140 P54 K117 S20 Zn3B1 kg/ha. The entire quantity of cow dung, P, S, Zn, B and ½ of K will be applied during land preparation. One half N will be applied at 50 DAP. The rest K and N will be applied with two equal splits at 80 and 110 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 were done with Ridomil Gold (2g/l of water). To control the same disease foliar application of Ridomil Gold were 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 weeding were done at 50, 85 and 110 DAP. The crop was harvested on 18 February 2013. Data on different morphological and yield contributing characters were collected and analyzed using MSTAT program and mean values were separated by DMRT.

Data on yield and other characters of different ginger lines are presented in Table-1. Plant height, number of leaves/hill, number of tillers/hill, weight of primary rhizome, weight of secondary rhizome, yield/plant and yield (ton/ha) varied significantly due to different germplasms. The highest yield (32.72 t/ha) was obtained from the line G004 followed by G0024 (29.63 t/ha), G0010 (28.70 t/ha) and G0011 (28.57 t/ha). The lowest yield (15.06 t/ha) was obtained from the ginger line G0012.
From the above trial the highest yield was obtained from G004 (32.72 t/ha) and the lowest yield was obtained from G0012 (15.06 t/ha). The line G004, G0024, G0010 and G0011 may be selected for AYT in the next year.
