Farmers in the Mahintada village, in the Surkhet District cultivate ginger as a major income generating cash crop to be used as food or medicine. Ginger rhizomes selected for seed purposes are stored in pits to be used in the next season. It has been observed that around 25 to 30 percent of rhizomes rot in the pit itself and about 10 to 15 percent of rhizomes sprout in the pit and are rendered useless for sowing due to a build-up of pathogenic inoculums. Therefore, there is a need to improve storage conditions. The pit storage method, with some improvements, constitutes an eco-friendly and less expensive method with respect to tradition and local knowledge. This practice shows how to improve and maintain the quality of ginger rhizomes selected for seeds through improved pit storage technology.
