When ginger enters the enlargement period, these management points must be mastered

Ginger is the ingredient we use most often in stir-frying. Although ginger is very common, its nutritional value is very high. It helps promote digestion and enhances the respiratory and circulatory system capacity of the human body. It also has very high medicinal value, with very obvious effects on gallstones, rheumatism and measles, etc. At the same time, it can also relieve women's pain during their menstrual period. Growing ginger is a decent planting project, so do you know how to manage ginger during the enlargement period? Come and take a look with the editor!

1. Fertilizing

Ginger has a relatively long growth and maturity period and also has a great demand for nutrients, especially during the ginger enlargement period. The fertilizer demand at this stage accounts for 4/5 of the entire growth period. During the ginger enlargement period, topdressing should be carried out appropriately according to the growth speed and growth condition of ginger. Reasonable topdressing can promote the enlargement of ginger, accelerate the growth speed of ginger stems and leaves, and also prevent premature aging of ginger due to lack of nutrients, which reduces yield.

2. Earthing up

The tubers of ginger grow in the soil, so the growth of the tubers needs to be in a lightless environment. During the growth process of ginger, earthing up should be carried out appropriately according to the soil. It should be done at least three times. During the first topdressing, carry it out together with earthing up, but it is only necessary to cover the fertilizer. After half a month, complete the latter two earthing up operations, and finally make it form ridges, with the tubers invisible to the naked eye.

3. Watering

Ginger likes water and cannot grow in a dry environment. After loosening the soil, it needs to be watered. If there is long-term dry weather, then watering management should be strengthened, but the amount should be noted, and waterlogging must not appear in the field. The enlargement period is the most critical period for ginger, and the water demand will also become greater. At this time, at least once a week, water when the temperature is lower, and try to avoid watering at noon.

4. Pests and diseases

Pest and disease control is the most important. The disease most likely to occur during the enlargement period is ginger blast, which can cause devastating damage to ginger and seriously affect the yield of ginger. It is best not to practice continuous cropping, drain excess water from the field in time to prevent waterlogging damage, and when diseased plants are found, pull them out in time to prevent spread, and thoroughly disinfect the vegetable garden to eliminate the pathogens.

5. Harvesting

There is particularity in the harvesting time of ginger. Generally, ginger is most suitable for harvesting around October 15 to October 28. Of course, the harvesting time mainly depends on the planting area. Harvesting in October can avoid frost damage to ginger caused by lower temperatures. It is also the time when ginger yield is relatively high, so the harvesting time should be well grasped during harvest. It cannot be harvested too early or too late, otherwise it will have a certain impact on both yield and quality.

The five points above are the management points during the ginger enlargement period. In fact, they are also the precautions during the enlargement period. The enlargement period is the key period that determines yield and tuber weight, so that your own economic interests can be effectively guaranteed. Otherwise, a whole year's work may be wasted. That is all for today's introduction. I hope everyone can harvest high yields and fill their pockets.
