Planting techniques of dried ginger

Dried ginger is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, it is the dried product of ginger commonly used in our daily life. It has the effect of warming and dispelling cold, returning yang and dredging pulse, dryness and eliminating phlegm. In our country, it is not only edible food, but also traditional Chinese medicine, the application and cultivation history is very long, let's take a look at the planting technology of dried ginger.

1. Land selection and preparation

Dried ginger is suitable to be planted in sandy loam with slightly sloping terrain, sufficient sunshine and good drainage, preferably in wasteland, but not in river, stream impact land, low-lying land and heavy clayey land. In addition, it is not suitable for continuous cropping, the best interval is 1-2 years, the planting land should be carefully cultivated, the ground should be ploughed 30-40 cm deep first. After applying base fertilizer and raking fine and leveling, it is best to drain the ditch and wait for sowing.

2. Planting

In the first year, the Beginning of Winter chose the seedlings with strong seedlings, free of diseases and insect pests and hypertrophy of rhizomes, stored the seed stems in the cellar, and treated them before planting to improve the germination rate. Sowing time is generally around the Qingming Festival, the latest should not exceed the Beginning of Summer, planting will accelerate the seed ginger into small sections, each small piece must have a bud eye. Dig holes on the ground, 10-15 cm deep, the bottom of the hole to be flat, too shallow soil is easy to dry, not conducive to growth; too deep should not be unearthed seedlings. Plant row spacing in 40 × 60 cm, each hole put a small piece, bud eyes up, with mature farm manure mixed with soil can be covered together.

3. Field management

When Rain Water is sufficient, if it is planted in wasteland, it is very easy to grow a large number of weeds, so weeds should be weeded frequently. After finishing the seedlings, you can start the first intermediate ploughing. First, clear the weeds, and then hoe the soil 3 centimeters deep, not too deep. So as not to damage the roots of the seedlings. When the seedlings grow 3-4 leaves, the first fertilization can be carried out, applying manure and animal fertilizer 750kg / mu to 1000 kg / mu, and the second fertilization is in summer, when dried ginger is in the peak growing season, 1500 kg / mu of animal fertilizer is applied. After the rainy season, we should pay attention to the humidity in the field to avoid stagnant water leading to rhizome rot, to timely drainage, and in the drought can be poured some dung water to keep the soil moist.

4. Diseases and insect pests

Dried ginger disease is less, in the seedling stage, there are soil silkworms and mole cricket damage, bite ginger buds, resulting in seedlings can not emerge normally, or when seedlings bite off seedlings, normal lack of nest dead seedling phenomenon, the loss is more serious, generally adopt artificial killing method to prevent and cure.

The above is the introduction of the planting technology of dried ginger. I hope it can help you. After the ginger is harvested, it will be sliced and baked, and then the dried ginger will be made.
