Ginseng planting conditions and methods

Ginseng , scientifically known as ground ginseng, can be eaten in a variety of ways, such as stir-frying, steaming, frying or pickling, and has a wide planting range. Ground ginseng likes a warm and humid environment, and is cold-resistant, moisture-resistant, and barren-resistant. Below, the editor will introduce the conditions and methods for planting ground ginseng. Let’s take a look.

1. Ginseng planting conditions

1. Climate conditions

Ginseng prefers a warm and humid climate. The suitable temperature for its growth is 15-25℃, and the most suitable temperature for its growth is 18-22℃. Areas with annual precipitation of 800-1200 mm are more suitable, and the warm and humid environment in summer is conducive to the growth of ginseng.

2. Soil conditions

Ground ginseng does not have high requirements for soil, but it prefers deep soil, good drainage, fertile soil and high organic matter content. The suitable soil pH value is 5.5-7.5, and the soil moisture content should be controlled between 60%-70%. Slightly acidic, sandy soil is particularly suitable for the growth of ginseng because such soil conditions are conducive to the development of rhizomes and the absorption of nutrients.

3. Lighting conditions

Ginseng needs sufficient light during its growth, but not excessive exposure to the sun. Choosing a growing environment with slightly heavier shade will be more conducive to the growth of ginseng, because ginseng is somewhat sensitive to light.

2. Ginseng Planting Method

1. Site selection and land preparation

Choose soil rich in humus or sandy soil with loose texture and deep soil layer. When preparing the land, it is necessary to deep plow and apply fertilizer, clean up impurities in the field, level the land, and dig ditches and make ridges.

2. Planting

Dry the seeds before sowing, soak them in warm water at about 40℃, and then soak them in new lipid membrane liquid to increase the germination rate. It can be planted all year round in the south, and in the north it is suitable for sowing around April. Cover with a layer of fine soil after sowing.

3. Planting

About 15 days after the ginseng seedlings emerge, they can be transplanted when they have 6 true leaves. The spacing between plants should be about 20 cm. When transplanting, plant them together with the soil with the roots and keep the soil moist.

4. Field management

After planting, apply farmyard manure, mainly decomposed manure and urine, and then water the plants. Water regularly and moderately to keep the soil moist. Fertilize once a week during the growing period and combine it with watering. You can spray the ground fruit strengthener to promote fruit growth and increase yield.

5. Pest and disease control

Ginseng has fewer diseases and pests, but you need to pay attention to underground pests. You can use dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane to irrigate the roots to control them.

The above is an introduction to the conditions and methods for growing ground ginseng. Ground ginseng generally matures after the frost. It is harvested by manual digging. Just shake off the wet soil attached to the rhizomes.
