Ginger planting technology and management
First, the choice of planting environment.
Ginger cultivation requires choosing a warm, moist, well-drained soil environment. The suitable soil pH is 55-6.5. The soil temperature is stable above 16, and sufficient sunlight and water are needed during the growth period. Before planting, the land should be refined, deep tillage and fertilized to provide sufficient nutrients and improve soil structure.
2. Selection and treatment of ginger species.
Choose ginger species that are healthy, free of pests and diseases, and have good growth performance. Before planting, ginger seeds need to be properly treated, such as drying seeds, disinfection, etc., to improve the germination rate and growth quality of the seeds.
3. Planting time and density.
Ginger is usually grown in spring or summer, depending on the region and climatic conditions. The planting density should be determined according to the soil fertility and the growth performance of ginger seeds, generally planting 5000-8000 plants per mu.
4. Field management.
During the growth of ginger, delicate field management is required. It mainly includes weeding, watering, fertilization, pest control, etc. Keep the soil moist often, but avoid standing water to prevent the ginger pieces from rotting. In the process of growth, top dressing should be carried out in time to meet the growth needs of ginger. At the same time, attention should be paid to the prevention and control of common diseases such as ginger blast and anthrax.
5. Harvesting and storage.
When the underground part of the ginger is fully ripe, it can be harvested. Before harvesting, weeds and fallen leaves should be removed from the soil surface, and then the ginger pieces should be dug up, taking care to keep the ginger pieces intact. After harvesting, it is washed and sorted to remove excess soil and residual leaves before being stored or sold. When storing, pay attention to maintaining good ventilation to avoid the influence of factors such as humidity and high temperature on ginger.
In conclusion, ginger planting technology and management need to consider a variety of factors, including planting environment, ginger seed selection and treatment, planting time and density, field management, and harvesting and storage. Only by mastering these technical points can we improve the yield and quality of ginger and achieve good economic and social benefits.
