How to apply ginger base fertilizer

When applying base fertilizer to ginger, it is usually combined with land preparation. The decomposed farmyard manure needs to be evenly applied to the soil, and then deep plowing is carried out to a depth of about 30 cm to allow the soil and fertilizer to be fully mixed, so that it can be fully absorbed and have good growth.

How much ginger fertilizer to use

When applying base fertilizer to ginger, the amount to be applied needs to be determined according to the different soil types. Generally, 500-600 kg of organic fertilizer is applied, while 100 kg of compound fertilizer and 50 kg of superphosphate are applied.

How to apply base fertilizer to ginger

Ginger has different fertilizer requirements in different growth stages. The time for topdressing is during the ginger seedling stage, around the beginning of autumn, and during the rhizome expansion stage.

1. Ginger needs top dressing during the seedling stage. At this time, the plants are small and require less fertilizer, but this period can be maintained for a long time. When the seedlings are about 30 cm tall and have grown 1-2 small branches, top dressing is required. 10-15 kg of biological fertilizer can be applied per mu.

2. Around the beginning of autumn is a turning point in the growth of ginger, and it needs to be fertilized for the second time. It is advisable to apply a combination of long-lasting farmyard manure and fertilizer. 70-80 kg of cake fertilizer can be applied per mu.

3. The period when the ginger rhizomes are expanding is an important stage for topdressing. When the ginger seedlings have 6-8 branches, for ginger fields with average plant growth, 15-20 kg of bio-fertilizer can be applied per mu. In addition, if the soil fertility is good, less topdressing or no topdressing can be applied according to the specific situation to avoid affecting the ginger yield.
