Ginger Summer Watering Methods and Technical Key Points
Ginger has different watering requirements at different growth stages. When sowing, the bottom water must be watered thoroughly, and usually the first watering is not started until about 70% of the seedlings have emerged. After this watering, the soil must be kept constantly moist to prevent the soil surface from crusting, which would affect seedling emergence. In the early seedling stage, light watering is preferable, and after watering, while the soil is still...
In summer, ginger is best watered in the morning or evening, not at noon. In addition, after heavy rain, water should be applied as a quick "run-through" watering to lower the temperature, and drainage should be carried out promptly to prevent waterlogging in the ginger field, which can cause the ginger rhizomes to rot. During the vigorous growth period, generally water heavily once every 4 to 6 days, keeping the soil relative humidity at 75% to 85%. 3 to 4 days before harvest, water once more, so that at harvest the ginger rhizomes can carry moist soil, which is beneficial for storage in the cellar.
