When planting yellow ginger, note the following points:
First, select good seed. Choose already domesticated high-yield varieties, with relatively thick seed rhizomes and many buds, one-year-old or two-year-old seed. Such seed has strong germination vigor and emerges early and uniformly.
Second, choose good land and plant early. Choose plots with sufficient sunlight, deep soil layers, plenty of humus, and loose soil that does not become waterlogged. Severe waterlogging in the soil layer and high humidity will cause the seed rhizomes to rot; shady land with insufficient sunlight will affect the yield and quality of yellow ginger. The best planting time is before the New Year, as it grows early and yields high.
Third, apply sufficient base fertilizer and topdress frequently. The base fertilizer is mainly decomposed farmyard manure, which should be turned into the soil together with deep ploughing and soil improvement half a month before planting. If the planting area is large and farmyard manure is lacking, appropriate chemical fertilizers can be chosen and turned into the soil half a month beforehand, and the effect is also quite good. Seed fertilizer is mainly potassium fertilizer, supplemented by phosphate fertilizer; topdressing is mainly nitrogen fertilizer. Yellow ginger has a relatively small demand for nitrogen fertilizer; during the seedling stage, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied frequently and early according to the vigor of the seedlings, and phosphate and potassium fertilizers should be appropriately topdressed later.
Fourth, set up trellises early and weed frequently. The small bamboo sticks or small wooden sticks used for trellises should be prepared early. When yellow ginger emerges, set up the trellis in a triangular or square shape. When the seedlings grow to more than 16 cm, tie them to help them climb the trellis. If the trellis is set up late, the stems and leaves will become tangled with each other, causing leaf rot. If they are forced onto the trellis, because the stems and leaves are relatively tender, any pulling will damage the stems and leaves, affecting growth and even killing the seedlings. Yellow ginger is a twining vine plant, and its seedlings are weak, making it prone to weed infestation. Generally, weeding should be done whenever weeds appear, combined with loosening the soil and topdressing, with intensive cultivation; otherwise, the yield will be greatly reduced.
