Ginger is one of the cash crops of the dryland farmer on the west coast occupying about 15,000 acres, with about 13,000 acres in Malabar district and about 2,000 acres in South Kanara district. Even though this is raised purely as a monsoon crop, under some- what similar conditions of soil and climate, the system of cultivation adopted in these two districts differs very widely. While the Malabar system is well known and has been published in departmental leaf- lets, the system adopted in South Kanara is practically unknown. This short note therefore attempts to describe briefly the two systems of cultivation.
