Distribution of producing area of ginger

The producing environment of ginger

1. Temperature: ginger likes warm and humid climate, and its cold and drought resistance is weak. The plant can only grow in frost-free period. The most suitable temperature for growth is 25-28 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 20 ℃, the plant will sprout slowly, and the plant will wither when it is frosted, and the rhizome will lose its germination ability completely by frost.

2. Illumination: ginger is shady but not resistant to strong sunshine, and the requirement for sunshine length is not strict. Therefore, during cultivation, shade sheds should be built or crops should be used for proper shading to avoid strong sunlight.

3. Moisture: the root system of ginger is underdeveloped, and its drought and waterlogging resistance is poor, so it pays special attention to the requirement of water. During the growth period, too dry or too wet soil is disadvantageous to the growth and expansion of ginger, and it is easy to cause rot.

4. Soil: Jiang likes fertile and loose loam or sandy loam, grows poorly in clayey, moist, low-lying land, and does not grow well in barren land with poor water retention. Ginger needs the most potash fertilizer, followed by nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer.
