Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 17
Abstract
Field experiments were carried out during Kharif, 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 in the Eastern Ghat High Land Zone at the research farm of High Altitude Research Station (Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology), Pottangi, Koraput, Odisha to evaluate the performance of 173 ginger germplams collected across the country in augmented glock design. It was revealed from the pooled data analysis that, out of 173 ginger germplasm studied, 10 accessions gave more than 10 Kg/3 m2 fresh rhizome yield, the range of plot yield being 2.2 Kg (PGS-34) to 19.0 Kg/3 m2 (PGS-36) with the mean yield of 5.2 Kg /3 m2 in tested germplasms. The highest fresh rhizome yield was recorded by PGS-36 (19.0 Kg/3 m2) followed by S-692 (16.5 Kg/3 m2), Tura Local (14.8 Kg/3 m2), Tura Local-1(14.3 Kg/3 m2), S-642-1(12.5 Kg/3 m2), GCP-31(12.0 Kg/3 m2), PGCAL-1(11.5 Kg/3 m2) etc. The clump weight of germplasm varies from 110 g (S-554) to 450 g (PGS-36) with the mean value of 204.6 g. China (88.5 cm) was the tallest among all. KG-132(13.0) had the highest number of tillers per plant. V1K1-1 (15.2 cm) had longest fully opened last leaf. GCP-5 (2.5 cm) had the wider leaves.
