Influence of different fertilizer doses on growth and yield of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) Cv. IISR Mahima

Abstract

The study showed that the fertilizer dose of 125:50:100 kg NPK/ha gave the best results for ginger growth and yield. This treatment significantly improved growth characteristics such as plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers per plant, leaf length, leaf breadth and plant spread. It also recorded the highest yield, including the number, length, girth and weight of both primary and secondary rhizomes, yield/plant. Overall, T₉ (125:50:100 kg NPK/ha) found to be the most effective fertilizer level for maximizing both vegetative growth and yield in ginger Cv. IISR Mahima.
