Field Management Of Ginger

Cultivation and weeding

Ginger is a shallow-rooted crop, and the root system is mainly distributed on the surface of the soil, so it is not suitable for repeated cultivation to avoid root damage. Generally combine watering after emergence, field tillage 1-2 times, and remove weeds in time. Entering the vigorous growth period, the plants gradually close the ridges, and the amount of weeds decreases, and the weeds can be removed manually. For the production of pollution-free ginger, it is best not to use herbicides to control weeds. Weeds can be prevented by covering with black plastic film, or covering with white plastic film and then covering with a thin layer of soil.

Watering

Ginger is not drought-tolerant and its root system is shallow, so it should be watered reasonably to ensure normal plant growth. Watering is generally not done before emergence. Although not much water is needed in the seedling stage, the root absorption capacity is weak. It should be irrigated frequently with small water and shallow ploughing to preserve moisture after irrigating. Watering frequently in summer can lower the ground temperature. It is better to water in the morning and evening. If there is too much water in the field, waterlogging should be drained in time. After the beginning of autumn, ginger enters the vigorous growth period, and the water demand increases. Adequate supply of water should be ensured, and the relative humidity of the soil should be maintained at 75%-80%. Pour the last water 3 days before harvest, so that moist soil can be on the ginger block during harvest, which is conducive to storage.
