The experiment was taken up to elicit the information on performance of different ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) varieties under shade net condition. Ten varieties of ginger were evaluated in RBD with three replications during kharif season of 2015-16 at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Dr. Y. S. R. H. U, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh. The growth performance of ten varieties indicated significant variation at all the stages of crop growth under shade net condition. Among the vegetative characters studied, the growth parameters like maximum plant height (89.83cm), number of tillers per plant (28.56), number of leaves per plant (245.16), leaf area per plant (49.39 cm2), leaf area index (10.27) were recorded in the variety Suprabha at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 days after planting. The variety Suprabha recorded the highest fresh rhizome yield per hectare (32.02 t ha-1) followed by Himachal (30.53 t ha-1), Pundibari (29.92 t ha-1) and Jalsingapara local (27.61 t ha-1). It concluded that the ginger varieties Suprabha, Himachal, Pundibari and Jalsingapara local showed better performance with respect to growth and yield parameters and these were found to be suitable for cultivation under shade net condition in Andhra Pradesh.
