Methods for rapid ginger germination include greenhouse germination, cellar germination, and smoked ginger germination.
1. Greenhouse germination
Place the ginger seed blocks on the greenhouse stand and keep the room temperature above 15°C. After germination for 10 to 20 days, the buds will grow 1~ 5 cm long shoots. After the seedlings emerge, the soil can be prepared and sufficient organic fertilizer applied as base fertilizer for sowing. After sowing, new shoots will emerge within 7 to 10 days at a moderate temperature.
2. Cellar germination
In rural cellars where sweet potatoes are stored in winter, the temperature inside is constant between 12 and 18°C ??and the humidity is suitable, which is very suitable for ginger germination. Place the ginger seed cubes in the cellar. Generally, the germination time is about 20 to 30 days. The ginger seed cubes will grow buds or buds normally, and sowing can begin.
3. Smoked ginger and germination
In rural areas, some farmers use bricks to build a smoked ginger stove with layered partitions, and burn a fire under the stove to heat it and let the iron in the stove The pot dissipates heat and increases the temperature of the ginger. Generally, it takes 20 to 25 days to germinate before sowing.
Precautions for planting ginger
During the growth of ginger, nutrients need to be replenished in time, mainly nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers. Note that the fertilizer concentration should not be too high, and fertilizers that are not fully decomposed cannot be applied. , it can properly supplement nutrients after fertilizing and promote nutrient absorption.
Ginger is susceptible to ginger blast, spot disease, rot, etc. Protective measures must be taken during the growth period to prevent the plants from contracting diseases. If the plants are infected, corresponding drugs must be used for treatment.
If ginger is grown in a greenhouse, it can be grown all year round. If it is grown in the open field, it can only be planted once a year. The growth period of the plant is generally about two hundred days. The best time for sowing in the open field is Every year from April to May after the beginning of spring, the temperature is suitable and the air is moist, which is conducive to the rooting and germination of ginger.
