Abstract

Ginger is an important spice crop belonging to family Zingiberaceae. Rhizome rot of ginger caused by Pythium aphanidermatum (Edson) Fitz is a major constraint in the production of healthy rhizome, sometimes causing total failure of crop. The maximum disease incidence was recorded during Kharif-2015 i.e 55.25% while lowest disease incidence was recorded during Kharif-2014 i.e. 7.5% when rhizomes dip treatment was given with Mancozeb + Carbendazim along with drenching with Metalaxyl 40% WS @ 0.3% was given followed by T2- seed dip treatment with Mancozeb + Carbendazim. The mean disease incidence was recorded 9.0% in case of T3 (T2 + drenching with Metalaxyl 40% WS @ 0.3%) and maximum mean diseases incidence was recorded 45.37% in case of T1 - check. The mean maximum yield 132.5 q/ha was recorded in case of T3 (T2 + drenching with Metalaxyl 50% WS @ 0.3%) and minimum mean yield 82.5 q/ha was recorded in case of T1 - Check.
