1, site selection. Choose sandy loam and loam with deep soil layer, water and fertilizer conservation, fertile soil, good air permeability and rich organic matter to plant ginger. Ginger is not suitable for continuous cropping, and it is not suitable to choose root crops, fleshy roots and tuber crops as the previous crops.
2. Choose ginger. When harvesting ginger for a long time, farmers who plant ginger choose plots with vigorous growth, disease-free, high quality and high yield, and choose fat, pest-free, rot-free, damage-free, full-sprouted, even-headed, bright-colored and non-frozen ginger blocks to store ginger seeds.
3. Choose sowing time. The germination temperature of ginger is relatively high, and the sowing date is generally from March to May, which is quite different between north and south. Sowing should be carried out when the local soil temperature exceeds 65438 06℃, not too early or too late.
4. Fertilize. Generally, decomposed chicken manure or sheep manure is used as the base fertilizer, and1000-2,000 kg is applied to each mu of land, and it is turned into the soil after being evenly mixed with the soil. You can also apply cake fertilizer 100 kg per mu, 50 kg of ternary compound fertilizer, or 25 kg of urea, calcium superphosphate and potassium sulfate to the sowing ditch.
Matters needing attention in ginger planting:
Ginger is afraid of drought during its growth, and there should be no water in the field at the same time. Watering needs to be carried out according to the planting situation, growing environment and weather changes of ginger. Pay attention to field drainage after rain in summer to avoid water accumulation. Usually, the humidity in the field should be kept at about 65%. Reduce watering times one month before ginger harvest.
During the growth of ginger, attention should be paid to shading. In summer, strong light will affect the growth of ginger, and the leaves will be hot. After the summer temperature rises above 25 degrees, attention should be paid to shading in time to reduce the direct exposure of ginger to strong light, and shading can be removed in late August.
