After harvesting ginger, first spread it out in a ventilated, dry place for a few days; once the surface water on the ginger rhizomes has dried, put them in a storage pit. Before storage, first carry out the following treatments: 1. Disinfect the ginger seed stock by soaking it in a 60% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder solution at 800 times dilution, or soak 600 kg of ginger seed stock using 10 g of sweet potato preservative mixed with 100 jin of water for seed soaking and disinfection; 2. Disinfect and kill insects in the storage pit by spraying the pit with a mixture of 50 g thiophanate-methyl and 30 g kuaishate added to every 15 kg of water. After disinfection is done, place the ginger seed stock into the storage pit, install the exhaust pipe, and seal the pit when the room temperature is below 12°C
