1. Ginger sowing time: Spring is more suitable.
2. Ginger likes warm and humid environmental conditions and is not tolerant to low temperature frost. It begins to germinate above 16 degrees Celsius. The suitable temperature for the growth of seedlings is 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. The suitable temperature for the growth of stems and leaves is 25 to 28 degrees Celsius and below 15 degrees Celsius. It stops growing, so the planting time of ginger is generally from late April to early May. In low-heat valley areas, early to mid-March is suitable. Those that have been germinated or cultivated with mulch can be appropriately advanced.
3. Temperature: Ginger is native to tropical my country and East India. It likes warmth and requires higher temperatures for the growth of rhizomes (ginger pieces). Ginger can germinate above 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Ginger pieces develop rapidly at 20 to 27 degrees Celsius. The average monthly temperature is 24 to 29 degrees Celsius, which is most suitable for rhizomes. Growth stops below 15 degrees Celsius. Germination is not hindered when it reaches 40 degrees Celsius. . But below 10 degrees Celsius, ginger pieces are easy to rot.
4. Light: Ginger is tolerant of shade but not strong sunlight, and does not have strict requirements on the length of sunlight. Therefore, during cultivation, a shade shed should be built or intercrops should be used for proper shade to avoid strong sunlight.
5. Moisture: Ginger has an underdeveloped root system and poor drought and flood tolerance, so it is particularly particular about water requirements. During the growth period, the soil that is too dry or too wet is not good for the growth and expansion of ginger pieces, and it is easy to cause disease and rot.
6. Soil nutrition: Ginger likes fertile and loose loam or sandy loam. It does not grow well when planted in heavy, humid low-lying land, nor does it grow well on barren land with poor water retention. Ginger needs potassium fertilizer the most, nitrogen fertilizer second, and phosphorus fertilizer the least.
