Sir ,Have you done your soil health card of top soil & sub soil ? Ginger is nowadays cultivated in open fields and bags ? What is your preferred cultivation type ? Vajra, Rio de Janeiro varieties are suitable varieties for Kerala agro climatic conditions . Monsoon has also arrived in Kerala , May is the planting season ,still you can check with IIHR- Calicut or Institute of Spices Research, Kozhikode, Kerala for certified rhizomes if they have available stock . ---

Hi Sir, for soil less cultivation (using cocopeat, Verimicompost) alredy check with IISR Kozhikode, they dont have rhizomes. Dear Sir, ``` We regret to inform you that ginger seed rhizomes of the Rio de Janeiro and IISR Vajra varieties are currently not available with us. ``` Regards, Technical Officer ATIC, ICAR-IISR Kozhikode 0495 2731410 Extn 502/504 Thanks, Prasanna ---

Sir ,No other alternative to source certified mother rhizomes from other sources . Kerala being a spice condiment cultivation hub , lots of farmers started soil less ginger cultivation ..so the demand is high and mostly pre-booked . National Seed Corporation also sells certified seeds and rhizomes , you can check . Usually mother rhizomes are sold in the month of Dec - Jan .Ginger Harvesting time .
