The amount of medicinal plants needs and limitations of agricultural land to its development can be overcome through the use of land under forest stands by applying patterns of agroforestry. This study aimed to assess the effect of different varieties and shade stands of pine (P. merkusii) on the productivity and quality of ginger. The design used was a split plot design consisting of 3 replicates and using an area of 100 m2 for each plot at a spacing of 50 x 50 cm. The main plot in the form of light intensity that is 50-58% (age class I), 68-77% (age class II) and 87-92% (poor increment), whereas varieties of ginger is the subplot includes a small white ginger (emprit), large white ginger (gajah) and red ginger. The results showed that the light intensity does not significantly affect the parameters : percentage of growth, content of moisture, volatile oil, fiber, starch and ash. The light intensity significantly affected the high growth in the five months after planting and heavy rhizomes. Varieties of ginger has significant effect on the percentage of growth, high growth and rhizome weight, but did not significantly affect the analysis of chemical ingredients. Average yield of each variety of ginger is 5.54 tons/ha for small white ginger, 8.38 tons/ha for the large white ginger and 6.7 ton /ha for red ginger.
