Abstract
The effects of soilless substrates on growth and yield of ginger were studied. The main objective of the study was to determine the most suitable growth substrate for cultivation of ginger using fertigation technique. The study was conducted under the side-netted rain shelter equipped with an irrigation system to supply fertiliser solution at a regulated time schedule. Five combinations of growth substrates were evaluated: 100 coir dust; 100 burnt paddy husks; 70 coir dust 30 burnt paddy husks; 30 coir dust 70 burnt paddy husks; and 50 coir dust 50 burnt paddy husks. The ginger plants were selected randomly and the rhizomes were harvested 3 “ 9 months after sowing. Plants grown in 100 coir dust gave the best growth performance and yield compared to the other treatments. They produced the highest shoot height (123 23 cm) shoot fresh weight (1 340 235 g) and rhizome yield (5 480 325 g per plant). The lowest rhizome yield (2 570 135 g) was obtained from plants planted in 30 coir dust 70 burnt paddy husks. Hence it can be concluded that the ginger plants cultivated in 100 coir dust substrate using fertigation technique gave the best plant growth and yields.
