How and when to plant ginger

The best time to plant ginger

The best time to plant ginger is in spring, around March to April. The temperature at this time will make the ginger germinate faster and the survival rate will be higher. If ginger is planted in other seasons, the yield will be lower and the survival rate will be very low.

Planting methods and key points of Japanese ginger

1. Choose very healthy ginger. Such ginger has a stronger ability to adapt to the environment and will produce more. Of course, the prepared soil must also be suitable for the growth of ginger. Generally, ginger cannot be planted in swamp areas. Then apply base fertilizer to the soil to ensure the nutrients needed for the growth of ginger.

2. Ginger can be planted in holes or sown in hooks. The planting density must be controlled. Generally speaking, the best distance between each ginger is about fifty centimeters. Plant it in the soil with the buds facing upwards, and the depth must be controlled at about ten centimeters. It is best to cover it with a thin layer of soil to ensure the moisture of the soil.

Key points for daily management of Japanese ginger

1. Water and fertilizer: After the Jerusalem artichokes emerge, apply a thin layer of farm fertilizer to accelerate its growth. It likes a humid environment and needs to be watered in time during the growth period to maintain the moisture of the soil. However, during the rainy season, drainage ditches should be dug for the Jerusalem artichokes to quickly drain the accumulated water in the soil.

2. Diseases: In the later stage of the growth of Ginger, the number of watering can be reduced, and the dense yellow branches and leaves in the middle and lower parts of the plant should be removed to facilitate ventilation and light transmission. Ginger occasionally suffers from sclerotinia disease. If the diseased plants in the center of sclerotinia disease are found, they should be pulled out in time and sprayed with high-efficiency, low-toxic and low-residue agents for disinfection.
