The research work was carried out at the Agro forestry Research Field at the HSTU, Dinajpur under mango, guava and black siris trees and in the open field conditions (control) during May to December 2007 in the upland conditions. The site lies between 25°13/ latitude and 88°23/ longitudes at the elevation of 37 m above the sea level. The soil texture was sandy loam with a pH of 5.0. The structure of soil was fine and the organic matter, total N, P, S, K, Zn and B contents were 1.20 and 0.06%, 0.21meq/100 g soil, 29.35 µg/g soil, 6.13,0.73 and 0.27 µg/g soil, correspondingly as tested at the Regional Lab, SRDI, Dinajpur. The experiment was laid out in the RCBD. There were five replications for each treatment. Four different shade levels compared as the four treatments were T1= Ginger in the open field having no shade (control), T2= Ginger under the shade of guava trees (70±5% shade), T3= Ginger under the shade of black siris trees (60±5% shade) and T4= Ginger under the shade of mango trees (50±5% shade). A local variety of ginger was used as the test material. Each piece of seed-rhizome (finger) was 15-20 g in weight. The land was opened in the first week of April 2007 and prepared thoroughly by spading to obtain a good tilth, which was necessary to get better yield of this crop. All weeds, stubbles and crop residues were removed from the field and bigger clods were broken into smaller pieces. Finally, the land was pulverized and leveled uniformly. The recommended doses of fertilizers (N, P, K, S and Zn) were used in the experiment. Well decomposed cow dung (10 tons), Urea (325 kgs), Triple Super Phosphate (45 kgs), Muriate of Potash (125 kgs), Gypsum (105 kgs), Zinc Sulphate (3 kgs) and Dolochoon (240 kgs), respectively. The full recommended doses of cow dung and dolochoon were applied during the opening of the land. One half of the urea and the full doses of the rests (except urea) were applied before planting the fingers. Besides, the rest half urea was applied in three splits in each of the paired rows after planting of fingers at 60, 90 and 110 days of planting. The block to block distance was 2.0m while the plot to plot within each block was 0.5m apart. The size of each unit plot was 2.5 x 2.5 m. The seed rhizomes (fingers) were planted maintaining a row to row distance of 50 (5 lines per plot), a plant to plant distance of 25 (10 hills per line) and a depth of 10 cm. After planting, the rhizomes were covered with a layer of soil of 5 cm thickness. The crop was grown under rain-fed conditions. Weeding was done as needed. Earthing ups were done thrice at 60, 90 and 110 days of plantings. Some ginger plants were about to be infected by leaf spot and rhizome rot diseases, which were combated immediately by spraying Rovral and Dithane M-45 @ 4.5g/L at an interval of 15 days, in that order. Proper drainage was done as needed during the rainy season. Ginger rhizomes and fingers were harvested on 20 January 2008 (after 240 days of planting) when the aerial plant-parts were fully dried-up. Ten plants were selected randomly from each plot except border ones to record data. First data were collected on 20 July 2007. It was continued at intervals of 60 days. Plant height (cm) was measured from the ground level up to the tip of the longest leaf at 60, 120, 180 and 240 DAPs, Number of leaves per plant was counted at the maximum plant growth stage at 240 DAP, Number of tillers per plant was also recorded at the maximum plant growth phase, Leaf size (cm2) was also recorded at 60, 120, 180 and 240 DAPs, Number of fingers per plant was noted at the time of harvest, Finger fresh weight (g) per plant were moped with a cotton handkerchief and weighed with a balance, Finger dry weight (g) per plant were weighed 100 g fingers, chopped, and dried in an electric oven at 70? till the constant weight was achieved and measured with a balance, Rhizome fresh weight (g) per plant was recorded with a balance at the time of harvest and their average value was noted as the weight of rhizome per plant, Rhizome dry weight per plant (g) were weighed 100 g rhizomes, chopped, and dried in an electric oven at 70? till the constant weights were achieved. After proper drying, the dry rhizomes were weighed and the mean weights per plant were calculated in gram, Rhizome yield (kg) per plot) was recorded from all the plants per plot and it was finally, converted to the yield per hectare. The collected data on vegetative parameters, yield and the dry matter of ginger were statistically analyzed to examine the variations of the results due to the four treatments compared. The analyzes of variances for each trait were done by the F (variance ratio) test according to the experimental design. Furthermore, the correlation coefficients were calculated out for the parameters noted. Finally, the treatment means were compared by the Duncan's New Multiple Range Test at the 5 and 1 per cent levels of implications as were the situations.
