Why does ginger curl its leaves? Please explain the causes


         Curled leaves in ginger may mean it has ginger blast. The disease occurs severely under high temperature, high humidity, and poor soil aeration, and after every heavy rain there may be an outbreak peak in the field. Therefore, in summer, be sure to dig drainage ditches well to prevent waterlogging in the field. If diseased plants are already present in the field, you can pull them out and drench the planting holes with quicklime, and at the same time apply Keshade 101 (2-2.5 kg per mu) or Xiangnong No. 4 (1.5-2 kg per mu) to the whole field by flushing with irrigation water. Note, however, that both of these agents are copper-based preparations and must not be mixed with other pesticides or fertilizers.
