1, planting time: the time of ginger planting is determined by the temperature, in Hunan, Wuhan and other places ginger is usually planted in April-May each year. 2, selecting the land, selecting the seed: selecting the land as far as possible to choose the sandy soil with strong infiltration capacity, but also need to be close to the source of water. 3, sowing, density: sowing can be placed in the ginger cubes in the agent soaked for ten minutes, and then mixed with sand A little, usually after 5 days can be sown.

A ginger planting time and method

1, planting time

(1) planting ginger time is mainly determined by the temperature, generally in Hunan, Wuhan and other places ginger is generally planted in April-May each year, in the northwest, southwest of the river valley area ginger is generally planted in March.

(2) The temperature suitable for the growth of ginger is about 25-30?C, the lowest can not be lower than 15?C, so you can determine the planting time according to the local temperature changes.

2, ginger planting methods

(1) Selection of land, selection of seeds

① ginger is very sensitive to moisture, in general it is drought-resistant, flood-resistant ability is relatively poor, so the selection of the land must be chosen to penetrate the ability of the sandy soil, but also close to the source of water, so that it is convenient to irrigate and drainage.

② When choosing seeds, you must choose healthy, strong tubers and better color ginger, and at the same time carefully observe whether the ginger buds are alive, there is no wilting state.

(2) seeding, density

① Before sowing, you can put the ginger block in the agent soaked for about ten minutes, then mixed with sand, and then put it into a smaller space sealed with plastic film, usually 5 days after the seeding.

② sowing must be in accordance with each plant spacing 30cm, each row spacing 40cm distance, and then the sprouting side up, row by row, set up, set up and then covered with a layer of thin soil, and finally on the top of a layer of straw can be laid.

(3) fertilizer, fertilizer

① After sowing, be sure to apply enough fertilizer, generally 1 mu of organic fertilizer 3000 kg on average, plus 30 kg of potash to assist.

② The 1st fertilization is in the ginger seedlings have 25cm high, in the countryside can use manure to water for watering, or 20 kg of urea to water for spraying.

③ fast into the autumn, that is, in early September you can carry out the second fertilization, this time the fertilizer is mainly to let the tuber grow, so the application of some composite fertilizer and potash can be, the amount of fertilizer are 45 kg and 30 kg.

④ The last fertilization in the tuber a little longer to about 3 thumbs, that is, about 1 month after the second fertilization, this time the same type of fertilizer and the first, but the amount to be reduced by half.

(4) pest control

① The main diseases that harm the growth of ginger as well as affect the yield of ginger are rot and spot disease.

② Rot disease usually occurs in July-August in summer, and sometimes lasts until early September. When you find a diseased plant you must promptly pull it out and dig up the soil next to the plant to avoid bacterial infection. Then just sprinkle 1 layer of lime and fill the ground with soil.

③ The prevention and control of spot disease is to spray 50% Chlorothalonil 800 times, every 7-10 days.

④ The insect pests that affect the quality of ginger are mainly ginger borer and ginger maggot, which can be controlled by foliar spraying with trichlorfon or phoxim.

Second, ginger yield

1, ginger belongs to the higher yield of planting crops, the general planting of mu yield of 6000-8000 pounds or so.

2, planting ginger must choose a good land, the ginger seed sown down to do a good job of water and fertilizer management and other work to make it grow. Ginger generally do not use seeds for reproduction, mainly with ginger asexual reproduction, it belongs to the shallow rooted crops without the main root, planting will be from the young shoots of the stem out of a number of adventitious roots, and the top will also send out a number of small lateral roots.

3, according to the growth habit of ginger, if you want to get a higher yield, you must give it 135-150 days of growth time. You can choose the appropriate sowing time according to local climatic conditions, if you sow too early, the ground temperature is low, the germination will be slower, if you sow too late, the fertility period is shortened, reducing the yield.
