Land and Environmental Conditions for Ginger Plantation
Despite the variety in nature and generic composition, it is certain
that all ginger types grow in the same soil and atmospheric conditions. Little warm weather, with humid climate will cause the crops to grow nutritious healthy.
Sandy and clay loam mostly red loam are recommended, this is due to the fact that they are rich in humus. A farmer is also not advised to grow ginger on the same field year after year .this may negatively affect the growth of the newly germinated plants .when preparing the land ,the field should be ploughed 2 to 3 times to thoroughly to remove all unwanted rots including weeds.
Ginger plant need good water supply, hence In regions where rain is scarcely, farmers have to use irrigation methods to provide sufficient water. If the farmer wants to do the plantation by using rain water best possible time is just before the rain season start. For asian countries like India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka this period is May to June in each year. Late in planting rhizomes will result poor yield. however little larger rhizomes will give good yield.
In general gap between plants is 25-30 cm this gap is purely depend on the soil condition. Rhizomes grow near the surface level, and so it is enough to place the rhizomes 4-10cm deep when planting.
Other important factors will be discussed in 2nd Article...
