Description Eleven genotypes of ginger were screened for reaction to soft rot and rhizome yield at AICRP on Dryland Agriculture (OUAT), Bhulbani, Orissa during 2006-07. The trial was laid out in RBD with three replications. The crop was planted during last week of June at the site where turmeric was grown in the previous year. Soft rot incidence in ginger was recorded at 60, 75,90 and 135 days after planting (DAP). Over S% soft rot incidence was found in ACC-35,ACC-117 and SG-666 at 60 DAP. These genotypes had severe soft rot incidence at 135 DAP. No observation on soft rot was made after 135 DAP due to senescence of some plants for dry weather. The genotypes showing minimum soft rot were Suprabha, Phulbani Local and VIC-So Soft rot incidence was very high in ACC-117 and no yield was realized from this genotype. Due to severe soft rot incidence, premature drying of plants was observed in some genotypes. Rhizome yield varied from zero (ACC-117) to 46.27 q/ha (VIC-S). However, rhizome yields of Suprabha, VIC-S and Phulbani Local were found to be at par. Poor performance of different genotypes was attributed to dry weather during peak growth stage and soft rot incidence.
