What soil is suitable for growing ginger?

1. Soil quality requirements

1. Fertilization: It has certain requirements for nutrients during its growth, and the nutrients in it must be sufficient. It cannot use too poor soil, as it will be difficult to absorb nutrients during growth. It is best to contain humus to provide nutrition to the plant.

2. Loose: Its root system is very thin and weak. It is an underground stem crop. The depth of its distribution on the surface is relatively shallow, about within 30 cm of the soil surface. Therefore, it is afraid of drought and waterlogging. It is best to use sandy loam.

3. pH value: It is best to keep the loam at a slightly acidic or neutral level. Growth in heavily alkaline soil will be limited, affecting the later growth of ginger.

2. The influence of different soil types

The choice of soil affects the growth of ginger. Providing it with sandy soil will produce ginger that is spicier and has a strong volatile aroma, but the yield is not high, so it is suitable for drying and making into dried ginger. If provided with sticky soil rich in humus, the ginger grown will be very tender and contain more water. Fresh ginger can be harvested and sold as vegetables. If the soil is too sticky and heavy, water accumulation will be very serious, causing the ginger to grow poorly and causing problems with the harvest.
