EVALUATION OF GINGER (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) GERMPLASM FOR ITS GROWTH AND YIELD IN GANGETIC ALLUVIAL PLAINS OF WEST BENGAL
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
The experiment was conducted to evaluate the Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) germplasm for its growth and yield in Gangetic alluvial plains of West Bengal at Horticultural Research Station, Mondouri, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal during 2014-15 and 2015-16. The design adopted was Randomized Block Design having 3 replications with 16 treatments of ginger germplasm namely., T1-Athira, T2-Karthika, T3-Aswathy, T4-Acc-65, T5-Acc-219, T6-GCP-49, T7-Acc-91, T8-Acc-701, T9-Acc-723, T10-Acc-239, T11-Acc-87, T12-Acc-713, T13-Acc-278, T14-Acc-702, T15-Acc-247 and T16-Gorubathan (control.). The investigation revealed that the most promising germplasm was T5-Acc-219 which showed best results for growth and yield of ginger as it produced maximum in growth parameter like number of leaves per tiller (20.07) and as well as yield attributes like length of fingers (8.41 cm), girth of fingers (3.11 cm), number of fingers per clump (18.46), length of clump (20.65 cm), breadth of clump (9.88 cm), yield per plant (233.38 gm) and projected yield (18.32 t/ha). But,growth parameters like plant height (57.69 cm) and number of tillers per clump (15.87) was found maximum with T16-Gorubathan (control.). Therefore, the results led to a conclusion that the germplasm T5-Acc-219 was found to bethe most suitable variety performed better for its growth and rhizome yield attributing characters under gangetic alluvial plains of West Bengal.
