1. Planting time.
Ginger is usually grown in spring and autumn. Spring planting is usually between March and April, when the temperature gradually warms up, which is suitable for ginger growth. Autumn is usually planted between September and October, when temperatures gradually decrease, but it is still suitable for ginger growth. When choosing the planting time, you need to consider factors such as temperature, soil moisture, rainfall, etc., to ensure that the ginger grows in a suitable environment.
2. Planting method.
1.Prepare the soil.
Growing ginger requires fertile, well-drained soil. In order to increase the fertility of the soil, organic fertilizers can be added to the soil, such as well-rotted chicken manure, pig manure, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the pH of the soil is appropriate, usually at pH 60-7.0.
2.Choose to plant ginger.
Choose healthy, pest-free ginger, and require ginger lumps to be hypertrophied, plump, and undamaged. The selected ginger can be planted directly, or it can be planted after seedlings are raised in a greenhouse.
3.Cultivation method:
Plant the selected ginger seeds in the prepared soil, and the surface of the ginger block should be level with the soil. When planting, it is necessary to maintain a suitable soil moisture, too dry and too wet is not conducive to the growth of ginger. After planting, water thoroughly and cover with a thin layer of straw or mulch to maintain soil moisture and temperature.
4.Conservation management.
Ginger needs plenty of sunlight, water, and fertilizer to grow. During the growing period, keep the soil moist and apply fertilizer in time. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases, regularly check the growth of ginger, and take timely control measures when pests and diseases are found.
5.Harvesting and storage.
Ginger can generally be harvested about 6 months after planting. Dig carefully when harvesting to avoid damaging the ginger. After harvesting, the ginger is dried for a few days to remove excess moisture and then stored in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Some desiccant or hygroscopic agents such as lime can be added when storing to keep the ginger dry and fresh.
In short, planting ginger needs to pay attention to the appropriate planting time and method, provide a suitable growth environment, and strengthen maintenance and management in order to obtain high-quality and high-yield ginger. At the same time, it should be kept dry and fresh during storage to avoid moisture and the occurrence of pests and diseases.
