Ginger is generally used as a side dish, but it also has certain medicinal and health value. The current market demand and export volume are also increasing year by year. As long as the transportation and storage capacity can be improved, growing ginger is still relatively profitable.

Under normal circumstances, the yield of ginger per mu can reach about 7,000 jin, and the market price is around 3-4 yuan per kilogram. Excluding the planting cost of about 8,000 yuan, the profit per mu can reach about 20,000 yuan.

High-yield cultivation techniques for ginger

1. Land preparation and fertilization

If you want to achieve high yield of ginger, it is recommended to choose loose, fertile soil with convenient drainage and irrigation for planting. Before planting, you need to plow the soil about 30 cm deep, and then apply an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer to the soil before planting.

2. Germination treatment

Choose bright, plump, and hard-feeling ginger as seeds, then place them in an environment of 25°C to germinate, and then plant them after white buds grow.

3. Water and fertilizer management

When planting, the soil moisture should be kept at around 70%. When the seedlings are 30 cm tall, fertilizer should be applied. High-nitrogen compound fertilizer can be chosen.
