How long is the growth cycle of ginger?

Introduction to Ginger Growth

Ginger grows underground. After the above-ground stem part withers, the underground part can be dug out. It is widely distributed in both north and south China, and the main producing area is Shandong.

Ginger growth cycle

Growth characteristics of ginger: Ginger prefers a warm, humid and sunny environment. It has average cold and drought resistance. The most suitable temperature for growth is between 25 and 28 degrees. It germinates slowly at 20 degrees, and loses its ability to germinate at lower temperatures.

The growth cycle of ginger is about 210 days.

Ginger growth rate

Ginger takes a long time to grow, more than half a year.

The growth process of ginger mainly goes through four stages: germination stage, seedling stage, vigorous growth stage and rhizome dormancy stage.

Ginger growth cycle management

The average ginger yield is about 1,000 kilograms per mu, and in high-yield areas it can reach more than 2,000 kilograms.

Temperature management: The most suitable temperature for ginger growth is between 18 and 26 degrees. It likes a warm environment. If the ambient temperature is below 10 degrees, it will affect flower bud differentiation and flowering and fruiting. If the temperature is higher than 28 degrees, it will cause the seedlings to grow too tall or wither.

Fertilization management: Apply enough basal fertilizer when sowing, and apply strong fertilizer during the seedling period. Around the beginning of autumn, the plant enters the growth transition period, the growth of the plant accelerates, and the demand for nutrients is also increasing, so it is necessary to add enough nutrients.
