 ABSTRACT

The field experiment was taken up to evaluate the ginger genotypes for growth and yield parameters at the Department of Plantation, Spices, Medicinal and Aromatic Crops, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, Karnataka during 2015-2016. The genotype Humnabad Local was found superior among the twelve genotypes. Humnabad Local has recorded maximum plant height (56.60 cm), number of tillers per plant (24.33), number of leaves per plant (257.60) at 180 days after planting. It also has recorded highest fresh rhizome yield per plant (235.26 g), yield per plot (7.18 kg), yield per hectare (23.93 t/ha), dry rhizome yield per hectare (6.29 t/ha) and dry recovery percentage (26.32 %). Hence, Humnabad Local performed best among the genotypes evaluated.
Keywords: Ginger genotypes, Growth, Yield, Evaluation, Rhizome
