The experiment was conducted to evaluate the Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) germplasm for its quality in Gangetic alluvial plains of West Bengal at Department of Spices and Plantation Crops, Faculty of Horticulture,Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal during 2015-16. The ginger germplasm taken for the experiment were namely., T1-Athira, T2-Karthika, T3-Aswathy, T4-Acc-65, T5-Acc-219, T6-GCP-49, T7-Acc-91, T8-Acc-701, T9-Acc-723, T10-Acc-239, T11-Acc-87, T12-Acc-713, T13-Acc-278, T14-Acc-702, T15-Acc-247 and T16-Gorubathan (control.). The investigation revealed that the highest essential oil percentage was recorded with T8-Acc-701 (1.71 %) followed by T5-Acc-219 (1.66 %), T16-Gorubathan (Control.) (1.59 %) and was lowest with T10-Acc-239 (0.92 %). The oleoresin percentage was recorded maximum with T4-Acc-65 (9.25%) followed by T2-Karthika (8.73 %) and the lowest with T13-Acc-278 (3.30%). Further, maximum dry recovery (33.28%) was recorded with T5-Acc-219 followed by T4-Acc-65 (32.57 %), T7-Acc-91 (32.22 %) and the lowest dry recovery was found in T3-Aswathy (25.91 %). Therefore, the results led to a conclusion that the germplasm having better quality parameters such as essential oil content with T8-Acc-701 (1.71%); Oleoresin content with T4-Acc-65 (9.25%) and Dry recovery with T5-Acc-219 (33.28%) were found to be the most suitable for its quality under Gangetic alluvial plains of West Bengal
