Ginger requires proper shading for optimum growth and rhizome yield. However, literature on individual color shading’s effects was limited. Under light stress, morphological and physiological traits change. Since 2023, we have studied how different color shading impacts growth, rhizome yield, and phytochemical composition of micropropagated ginger. Tissue culture ginger seedlings (cultivar Madonna) were transplanted in March in a greenhouse, then in June into 50-gallon grow containers, 12 plants per container in a 2:1 metro mix:compost substrate. A completely randomized design was used, with 12 color shade treatments and 12 replications per treatment at NCA
