“…The successful growth of ginger relies on a warm and humid climate. Ginger can be cultivated in tropical regions ranging from sea-level to an altitude of 1500 meters, as long as the areas receive an annual rainfall of 1500 mm or more, with a brief dry season, and experience high temperatures for at least part of the year (Lim, 2016).…”

The continuous practice of mono-cropping by small-scale farmers in Bangladesh has resulted in poor soil quality and declining crop yields. As a result, there is a growing need to explore sustainable production methods that are resource-efficient and environmentally friendly. Conservation agriculture has emerged as a beneficial approach that effectively addresses these challenges by utilizing locally available resources to enhance crop productivity and soil quality. With this in mind, the objective of this study was to assess the impacts of conservation agricultural practices on the growth and yield of ginger and turmeric in the Madhupur Garh of Bangladesh. The study was conducted in the Auronkhola, Gaira, Makontonagar in Madhupur district, using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications from July to September 2022. Ginger and turmeric were selected for the trial. The results showed that these spices exhibited significantly higher yields (6090 kg/ha and 11370 kg/ha, respectively) compared to traditionally cultivated vegetables in the farmers' fields. The implementation of conservation agriculture practices contributed to the improved yields. As part of conservation agriculture practices, various factors crucial for crop production, such as soil organic matter content, total nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium levels, and pH, were positively influenced. This was achieved through the use of organic manure, minimal tillage, the retention of permanent crop residues, and crop rotation. Based on the findings, the study concludes that traditional agriculture must transition to conservation agriculture methods in order to achieve increased food production while utilizing fewer resources and minimizing negative environmental impacts. This shift towards conservation agriculture offers a more efficient and sustainable approach to farming.

The experiments was conducted at a farmers’ field adjacent to the HSTU Research Farm, Dinajpur during 28th April to 13th December 2018 to evaluate growth and quality of two ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) varieties under different tree such as ghoraneem, litchi and mango based Agroforestry systems. The experiment was two factors RCBD where Factor A (four Agroforestry systems) and Factor B (two ginger varieties). Factor A (Agroforestry system) were- T1=under Ghoraneem, T2= under Litchi, T3= under Mango and T4= Open field (control). Again, factor B (variety) were- V1= Deshiand V2= China. Therefore, the treatment combinations were T1V1, T1V2, T2V1, T2V2, T3V1, T3V2, T4V1 and T4V2. The experiment results revealed that the growth and quality of ginger were significantly varied by the main effect of different Agroforestry systems. The highest germination speed, plant height was higher under Ghoraneem (T1) but thehighest fresh rhizome weight (21600 kg/ha) was found under Mango based System (T3), whereas the highest dry rhizome weight (20%) was found under Open field condition (T4). The main effect of varieties on growth and quality of ginger were significantly varied. Germination speed, plant height, fresh rhizome weight was higher in deshi ginger (V1) but highest dry rhizome weight was found in china ginger (V2). The interaction effect of Agroforestry systems and ginger varieties was also significant. The highest germination found in T1V1.Again, the tallest plant was recorded in T1V2.The highest fresh rhizome weight (20865 kg/ha) was found in T3V1 but the highest dry rhizome weight was found inT4V1 (21.25 %). The relationship between light intensity and fresh ginger rhizome yield was inversely proportional. The highest ginger rhizome yield (21600 kg/ha) was found when the total light intensity was 115.50 LUX under Mango (T1) and the lowest ginger rhizome yield(18366 kg/ha) was when the total light intensity was 321.50 LUX in open field (T4).
