Biochemical Defense Responses in Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) Rhizomes against Fusarium sp. and Meloidogyne Incognita Infection: A Cultivar-wise Comparative Study

A. R. Kiran, N. Umashankar Kumar, N. S. Pankaja & L. S. Nitish Kumar · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2026

Wilt complex disease is a major constraint in ginger cultivation, leading to severe reductions in both yield and rhizome quality. The disease is primarily caused by a combination of soil-borne pathogens, including Fusarium spp. and root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). The stud...
