Description Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) is believed to have originated in southeast Asia and now occurs only under cultivation. India is one of the world's leading ginger-producing countries, Ginger is also grown in almost all tropical countries (southern China, Taiwan, Philippines, Sierra Leone, Jamaica, Nigeria, Indonesia, Malaysia). Many landraces and Improved cultivars of ginger which excel in yield and one or more quality trails are available in India. Considerable variability for yield and yield-contributing trails are found in India's ginger germplasm. Geographical spread accompanied by genetic differentiation and divergence Into locally adapted populations might have been responsible for the variation encountered in this clonally propagated crop. A germplasm conservatory with 475 accessions 01 ginger and 988 accessions 01 related taxa is maintained at NRCS, Calicut.
