Background: Ginger is a highly demanded commodity that serves multiple purposes, including as a spice and a key ingredient in medicine. Since Indonesia has experienced a decrease in ginger production from 307,241.52 tons in 2021 to 247,455.49 tons in 2022, it is imperative to boost productivity. Kalimantan is dominated by peatlands, so farmers in West Kalimantan must optimize their management of peat soil to achieve the greatest possible yield. Methods: Research was conducted in Tanjungpura University, Pontianak City, Indonesia from May 1st to November 28th 2023. The study used a factorial randomized block design, with ash type (cow manure, rice husk, wood and coconut fiber) and NPK fertilizer dose (600-1200 kg/ha). Result: Different types of ash have varying effects on the growth and yield of ginger plants in peat soil. Cow manure ash is the most effective based on the dry weight of the plant, the number of tillers and the fresh weight of the rhizomes. However, NPK fertilizer doses did not significantly impact the growth and yield variables of ginger plants in peat soil.
