Common Ginger Fertilization Mistakes: Latest Errors to Avoid

Ginger is a very common side dish in our lives, and ginger also has the effect of dispelling cold and preventing colds. Its nutritional value is very high, so the planting area of ginger is still very large at present. When planting ginger, fertilization is very critical to the growth of ginger. However, many farmers also have some misunderstandings when fertilizing, so the editor below brings you the common misunderstandings of ginger fertilization, let's take a look!

1. Organic fertilizer not fully decomposed

Organic fertilizer is very important for the growth of ginger and can provide sufficient nutrients for ginger. However, some people, when applying organic fertilizer, do not fully decompose the organic fertilizer, or the fertilization position is too concentrated. As a result, when the root system of the ginger plant grows downward, it is burned by the heat generated by fertilizer fermentation. Moreover, if the organic fertilizer is not fully decomposed, then there will be a large number of bacteria, causing ginger root rot and affecting root growth. Therefore, when applying organic fertilizer, we must pay attention to doing a good job of fermentation and decomposition.

2. Not paying attention to trace elements

During the growth process of ginger, in addition to basic elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Trace elements are also indispensable, such as calcium, magnesium and zinc. Many growers ignore the application of trace elements when fertilizing, resulting in poor growth of ginger. In fact, reasonable trace elements can accelerate plant growth, expand leaf area and increase the number of branches. It can not only improve the yield of ginger, but also reduce phenomena such as cracked skin and splitting, enhancing the quality of ginger. Therefore, we should pay attention to adding an appropriate amount of trace elements to the fertilizer to ensure normal growth.

3. Too much seed fertilizer

Before sowing ginger, using seed fertilizer for seed dressing can effectively improve the germination rate of ginger. However, some people apply too much chemical fertilizer when planting ginger, and some even apply two hundred jin of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer per mu. As a result, the rooting of ginger is seriously affected, the germination rate decreases, and even if it can germinate successfully, the seedlings will also show undesirable phenomena such as curled leaves and yellow leaves, leading to a serious decline in ginger planting benefits.

4. Improper topdressing in the later stage

After ginger enters the later stage of growth, attention should be paid to controlling the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied as topdressing. In the later stage, it is important not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it is easy to cause excessive vegetative growth of ginger, affecting the development of underground rhizomes and leading to insufficient yield. Moreover, if no attention is paid to topdressing after the large hilling of ginger and before harvest, then the ginger tubers will not have sufficient nutrients, which will also affect the yield. Therefore, in the later stage of ginger growth, we should pay attention to applying an appropriate amount of high-potassium compound fertilizer as topdressing, which should be applied by flushing with water, to avoid excessive growth of ginger and provide sufficient growth nutrients for the ginger tubers.

The above is a brief introduction to the common misunderstandings about ginger. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
