I got a suggestion to use fungicide Ridomil gold( Metalaxyl M4 + Mancozeb) as a foliar spray and liquid application to the soil as well
Please anyone help me to find the disease name and cause. How to protect surrounding ginger and is it curable?

It could be a fungal disease (what is the whitish growth?). To know the exact pathogen name you need to take samples to experts. Did you contact the local agriculture officer? And from whom did you got the fungicide recommendation?
Normally Ridomil gold (Metalaxyl M4 + Mancozeb) fungicide is recommended to control soil borne fungal pathogens including oomycetes.

Hi Sreebin, thanks for the updates. It looks like bacterial wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. Where did you buy the seeds from? It may be due to contaminated seed material. It is always recommended to buy disease free and certify seeds. To avoid spreading of pathogen remove the infected clumps and drench soil with copper oxychloride (0.2%).
