Comparative evaluation of the growth and yield indices in some mutant lines of ginger (Zingiber officinale. Rosc.)

ABSTRACT A field experiment was conducted at the Cross River Basin Development Authority (CRBDA) Calabar to evaluate 15 ginger mutant lines, namely UG2-9-01, UG1-5-49, UG1-5-38, UG1-5-52, UG1-5-18, UG2-2-35, UG1-5-04, UG1-5-22, UG1-5-35, UG2-11-03, UG1-11-07, UG1-5-31, UG1-7-24, UG1-5-48, and UG1-13-02, for growth and yield attributes in order to select superior mutant lines. The experiment was laid out in a randomised complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. Data were collected on the following: emergence, establishment, plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, number of tillers, number of rhizome fingers, rhizome length, and total rhizome yield.
