Screening somaclones of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) for yield attributes and yield

The experiment was taken up to elicit the information on yield attributes and yield of different ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) somaclones. Ten somaclones of ginger were evaluated in RBD with three replications during 2015-18 at College of Horticulture, Kerala Agricultural University, Thrissur district, Kerala. The growth performance of ten somaclones indicated significant variation at all the stages of crop growth. The somaclones SE 86102 (16.00 days) and SE 8626 (16.33 days) registered least number of days for sprouting.
