Field experiments demonstrate effective management of ginger rhizome rot in North-Western Himalaya using bioagents and hot water treatments.

Treatment with hot water and Trichoderma harzianum led to the lowest disease incidence at 40% and 50% in consecutive years.
The best germination rates recorded were 83.3% and 80.0% for the rhizome treatment with hot water and Trichoderma.
Chemical treatment with Ridomil Gold showed a lower disease incidence of 20.0% and 43.3%, with the highest yield at 25.3 t/ha.
The study highlights the potential of bio-rational approaches to manage ginger diseases while optimizing yield in agricultural practices.

Sharma et al. (2025) studied this question.
