If you want to increase the yield of ginger, the following planting methods can be mastered!

The main diseases that harm the growth and yield of ginger are rot and spot. The rot usually occurs during the summer months of August to early September. If any disease is found, the plant should be pulled out promptly and the soil next to the plant should be excavated to avoid bacterial infection.

Take care to sprinkle a layer of lime and then fill the ground with earth. Spot disease is prevented and controlled by spraying 50% chlorothalonil 800 times every 7-10 days. Among them, the main pests affecting the quality were ginger borers and ginger maggots. We should spray the leaves with trichlorfon or phoxim to control this pest. It works very well. As a vegetable ingredient, ginger is also an economic source for many people, and many families in Shandong province specialize in growing ginger. There are a lot of people will plant a few POTS of ginger bonsai at home, not only can be regarded as bonsai, but also can eat reassured ginger. As the saying goes, there is a pot of ginger at home, good luck and health! So what are the planting techniques of ginger? How do we plant them to achieve high yields?

Ginger is a shade-tolerant crop that can be grown in spring when temperatures gradually rise. Ginger pieces should be broken out of winter dormancy before planting. The main method is to use cold smoke or sunlight to promote the buds. When the buds are about 1cm long, they can be planted alone.

Choose ginger with a smooth surface and no pits and let it germinate. First, the ginger is cut into sections and soaked in water, which speeds up the germinating time. You can also choose to buy them outright, but you must choose ones with more buds and be careful not to get bitten by borers.

The planting area should be sandy loam with good supply and drainage. The best planting area without ginger in the first year is continuous cropping that prevents soil-borne virus and in moderate light. Strong light is not conducive to the growth of ginger seedling, easy to burn leaves. Ginger is mainly grown in burrows.

The fields need a thick layer of manure. Plant a hole with buds pointing up. After planting, cover the seed block with a layer of soil fertilizer or fine soil to fill the holes and open the four ditches. Ginger is characterized by upward growth. It is necessary to fill the bottom several times during growth so that stem blocks are not exposed. At the same time, water or furrow irrigation should be timely combined with water content to ensure rapid growth of stems and leaves.

The planting time of ginger is generally around April, and the planting time is different in each region. You can also choose to grow them indoors. Ginger likes to be planted in a warm place. If you are in a cold area, it is recommended to plant them indoors. However, the soil must not be too wet and must be continuously loosened.

To seed, we should first soak the ginger in the medicine, then mix it with sand, put it in a small place and seal it with plastic film. After about five days, we can start planting. Sowing should be done with a distance of 30 cm between plants and 40 cm between rows.

We should try to put the sprouting side up so that it can be placed in a row. Then, we should cover it with a thin layer of soil, and finally, we should cover it with a layer of straw.

After planting, we have to apply for base fertilizer. Usually every mu NEEDS 3000 KG organic fertilizer on average, had better ADD 30 kg potash fertilizer. The first application of fertilizer is when the seedlings are 25 cm tall. In rural areas, manure can be mixed with water for watering, or 20 kg urea can be mixed with water for spraying.

When autumn comes, apply the fertilizer a second time to get the tubers growing. Therefore, the main application of hefei and potash fertilizer, the application rate of 45kg and 30kg respectively. The last fertilization occurs about a month after the second fertilization, and the tubers grow slightly to three thumbs. The type of fertilizer applied was the same as the second, but the amount of fertilizer applied was reduced by half.

Late autumn and early winter is the harvest season of ginger, and timely harvest of ginger is also the guarantee of ginger quality. Before ginger is harvested, plots can be watered and wetted to damage the skin and reduce labor intensity. Ginger harvest can be one-time or batch, mainly based on sales.

During harvest, ginger that is free from disease and damage and has an even and full stem should be selected as seed ginger in preparation for continued production in the following year. Generally speaking, the planting method of ginger is basically the same as that of general crops, but ginger has high requirements for temperature.

Therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate temperature and altitude to plant ginger, and strengthen the management of water and fertilizer during the growth of ginger, so as to improve the quality and yield of ginger.
