Abstract
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is an important commercial spice crop, grown from very ancient times in India, especially in Kerala. Though ginger is also cultivated in the West Indics (Barbados and Jamaica), Sierra Leone, Brazil, China, Japan and Indonesia, India still is the largest producer of dry ginger in the world.
