How to store ginger seeds for next year's planting (storage method for ginger seeds for wintering)

How to preserve ginger

When saving seeds , you must pay attention to the ginger you are saving. You should choose single-plant, high-yield, large ginger pieces , and old and mature ginger that is not damaged by any diseases or insects .

Farmers must stop watering about half a month before harvesting, and timely harvesting must be done before the first frost. Frozen ginger is likely to reduce yields. And when harvesting, it must be done when the weather is cooler and the soil is flat .

The ginger straw should be cut flat with scissors at a distance of about two to three centimeters from the ginger pieces. Be sure not to damage the ginger buds, so as not to affect the germination of ginger next year.

It should be noted that ginger should be stored in the cellar after harvest . If it cannot be stored in time due to rainy weather, it can be placed indoors. However, it must not be exposed to the sun on the ground, and it is enough to cover it with about 30 cm of moist fine sand.

This not only maintains the temperature, but also the humidity, and allows storage when the weather clears up. Only in this way can the ginger not be damaged and a higher yield can be guaranteed next year.

Notes on sowing ginger

The amount of ginger to be sown and its sowing density are also things that farmers should pay attention to. About 4,000 kg to 5 kg of ginger should be used per mu of land . You should know that the larger the ginger piece, the earlier the seedlings will emerge, and the larger the ginger piece, the more vigorous its seedlings will be, and the higher the yield.

Therefore, when choosing, you must pay attention to the size of the ginger pieces to ensure the yield. The planting density is best maintained at about 5,500 plants per acre, which is the most appropriate. The density can be reasonably arranged according to the size of the ginger pieces.
