Field trials were carried out during 2004-and 2005 to study the efficiency of Azospirilluim, a nitrogen fixing rhiobacterium as biofertilizer for ginger at different levels of fertilizer nitrogen. The treatment of Azosirillum with 100% fertilizer nitrogen was found to be superior to all other treatments in terms of maximum root length, number of fingers, yield and starch content at harvest. Inoculation also resulted in increased protein content of rhizome at all the levels of fertilizer nitrogen.
