Ginger yield per mu

The yield of ginger per mu is affected by many factors, such as variety, cultivation management, planting season and other factors. In normal years, with appropriate variety and management, the yield of ginger per mu is 1500-3000 kilograms. Under proper management, the yield of ginger per mu is about 7000 catties.

How to grow ginger for high yield

1. Choose ginger

When planting ginger, choose ginger that is strong, plump, and bright, with moderate maturity. It is best if it has sprouts growing on it. If the ginger is wrinkled, it means that it lacks water and nutrients, so the sprouts will be weak and the yield will be relatively low.

2. Planting time

The time for planting ginger in the open field in the north is around late April or early May, and the seeds are sown when the ground temperature is above 16 degrees. Planting ginger in a plastic greenhouse can be done one month earlier, that is, in late March.

3. Water management

After the ginger seedlings emerge, you can poke a few small holes in the ground film to expose the seedlings. When 70% of the seedlings have emerged, start watering them in small amounts to keep the soil moist. It is best to use sprinkler irrigation to wet the soil. When the ginger is in its peak growth period, you can water it more often, usually every 4-6 days. Pay attention to drainage during the rainy season.

4. Fertilization management

The first fertilizer should be applied when the ginger seedlings are 25 cm tall. In rural areas, you can use feces mixed with water for watering, or spray 20 kg of urea mixed with water. When autumn is approaching, apply compound fertilizer and potassium fertilizer to promote the growth of tubers. Fertilizer is needed again when the tubers are as big as three thumbs.
