Curing turmeric is very simple. Its growth habit is similar to that of ginger, and it can also be cultivated well in flowerpots. As long as the temperature is above 15 degrees, it can be cultivated anytime and anywhere. But spring is the best growing season, and the growth is relatively slow, and it can generally grow to more than 50 centimeters high. Sandy soil with deep, loose, fertile soil and good drainage is better. Some farmers don't understand the fertilizer requirement of ginger, and think that as long as more fertilizer is applied, the yield will increase. This idea is naturally wrong, which not only increases the production cost, but also causes the soil burden.
Ginger has fleshy adventitious roots on its stem, and its absorption capacity is weak. A stem is a fleshy rhizome with many branches. The leaves are lanceolate, and the grass sheaths embrace each other to form a compact imaginary pseudostem. Ginger is native to tropical forests and rainy areas. It likes warm and humid, is intolerant of cold and dry climate, and is more tolerant of shade than hot sun. Ginger is a shade-loving plant. If exposed to strong light for a long time, the Jiang Miao of ginger will wither, or even dry and be damaged. In severe cases, it will lead to the death of ginger and the failure of planting.
Ginger is an underground tuber crop, which is afraid of both drought and waterlogging. Therefore, we should choose loose, deep, soft, fertile sandy loam fields with convenient irrigation and drainage. It is not suitable to choose the field where ginger is planted in the previous crop. Generally, it is necessary to rotate for more than 3 years, otherwise ginger blast is prone to occur. Before planting, the land should be ploughed and exposed to the sun. According to years of planting experience, compared with other vegetables, it needs less light, which shows that ginger has strong ability to utilize weak light and has the characteristics of shade tolerance.
