Abstract: Ginger is grown majorly in the derived savannah of Nigeria for its potential health benefits, this health related usefulness of ginger have also stimulated farmers concern for the growing of the plant having realized its efficacy in life changing ailments as a result of this the availability of the propagule for planting became so scarce and not within the reach of farmers. Its cultivation has recently been introduced to the South western Nigeria. A field trial was carried out at the National Horticultural Res… Show more

AbstractBiochar has a low chemical composition and is recalcitrant to degradation. For good soil fertility and nutrient use efficiency of crops it becomes imperative that addition of a fast releasing nutrient source to biochar be sought. Therefore, studies were conducted in 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the effects of biochar with poultry manure (PM) and NPK fertilizer on soil properties, growth and yield of ginger. Treatments evaluated were: biochar applied alone at 15 t ha-1 , PM applied alone at 15 t ha-1, NPK fertilizer applied alone at 200 kg ha-1, biochar applied at 15 t ha-1 with poultry manure applied at 15 t ha-1 (B+PM), biochar applied at 15 t ha-1 with NPK fertilizer applied at 200 kg ha-1 (B+NPK) and a control with no amendment whatsoever. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with three replications. Biochar, PM, NPK fertilizer alone or B+PM and B+NPK improved soil physical and chemical properties, growth and yield of ginger compared to no amendment (control). NPK fertilizer did not improve soil physical properties nor increased pH, OM, Ca and Mg significantly. B+PM and B+NPK improved soil physical and chemical properties, growth and ginger yield compared to their sole forms. Although B+PM had better soil physical properties, B+NPK increased yield and growth of ginger compared to B+PM. B+NPK increased the yield of ginger by 12.2% and 10.6% in 2017 and 2018, respectively compared with B+PM. B+NPK also increased the yield of ginger by 49.2% and 50.3% in 2017 and 2018, respectively compared to biochar alone. This was related to high presence of nutrients in B+NPK especially N and K which are important for ginger rhizome formation.

The experiments were conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Nigeria in 2010 and 2011 to determine the effect of propagule size and nitrogen levels on the growth and rhizome yield of ginger.The nitrogen source was from Tithonia compost (TC). Three propagule sizes were tested (20, 30 and 40 g) and seven nitrogen levels (0, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140g kg N/ha). The experimental pots were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Data were collected on growth parameters (plant height, number of leaves, leaf length and leaf width); rhizome yield components (number of tillers and rhizomes, and rhizome weight and length); and proximate composition (crude protein (CP), crude fibre (CF), total lipid (TL); Total Ash (TA), Starch and water soluble extract). Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance and significant means were compared using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) (P ≤ 0.05). Propagule size, N levels and their interactions significantly (P≤ 0.05) influenced most of the parameters assessed. In most cases, the use of 30 and 40 g planting material gave similar results. Plants nourished with 140 kg N/ha significantly and consistently outperformed others fertilized with other nitrogen levels. Crude protein obtained from 40 g propagule size was significantly ( P ≤ 0.05) higher than other tested propagule sizes. The rhizome yields of fertilized plants were significantly higher than the non fertilized plants. Rhizome yields ranged from 1.57 t/ha in none fertilized plants to 3.71 t/ha in 140 kg N/ha. In conclusion, establishment of ginger with 40 g planting materials and its nourishment with 140 kg N/ha enhanced its growth, rhizome yield and proximate compositions of the plant.
