Wild ginger is one of the vegetables unique to China. The vegetable is distributed in high, middle and low mountains, mostly in areas with an altitude of about 800 meters. Generally scattered in the fertile and humid place of the front and rear of the farmer's house, low mountains are mostly planted under the shade of trees. The main points of cultivation techniques of wild ginger are:

1. Choose a suitable planting environment. According to surveys, wild ginger is fertile, loose, moist, and cool. It is more shade-tolerant, not resistant to high temperature and strong light. Therefore, for planting large areas of Yanghe, it is best to choose the second high mountain shady area with abundant rainfall, more clouds and fog, cool summer, and higher soil organic matter content. Low-scale large-scale plantation of Yanghe must be interplanted with trees or high-stalk crops, otherwise it is not easy to succeed.

2. Apply foot fertilizer and heavy farm fertilizer. Wild ginger is planted for one year and benefits for many years. To obtain high yield and high efficiency, it is necessary to apply sufficient base fertilizer and re-farm fertilizer according to the growth needs of wild ginger. Generally, 4000-5000 kg of soil fertilizer or manure is applied per mu, and 50 kg of compound fertilizer (or 40 kg of superphosphate and 10 kg of potassium sulfate). Bottom fertilizer is best to be used for deep furrowing, and the ground can be spread evenly after being spread. It is best to open a trench with a width of 60-80 cm and a depth of 40-50 cm along the horizontal line in mountain slopes. Spread the bottom fertilizer in the trench, then backfill the topsoil and transplant it.

3. Tiller breeding and reasonable dense planting. Tiller breeding is mainly used. When tillering, pay attention to each bud must bring 2-3 complete buds. Transplanting can be carried out in September-October in autumn or March-April in spring. Large and small rows are planted, with a large row spacing of 60 cm, small row spacing and plant spacing of 30 cm, and planting per mu of about 3300 .

4. Management and harvesting after planting. After planting, you should water enough roots. In low mountains, summer temperatures are high and light intensity is strong. In the first year of planting, proper shade must be considered. After transplanting to survive, after spring emergence each year, combined with cultivating weeds and chasing the water with a thin manure to raise the seedlings, the seedlings grow robust and consistent. Every year, before the buds are unearthed, the "bud" fertilizer must be re-applied to promote the buds to enlarge and improve the quality and yield. Before wintering, apply 2000-3000 kg of farm manure and 50 kg of compound fertilizer (or 40 kg of superphosphate and 10 kg of potassium sulfate) on deep acres to ensure that the plants can safely overwinter and increase yield in the coming year.

Ginger Harvesting

Buds should be scooped down before they emerge before they bloom. Although the harvest is too early, the quality is good, but the yield is low, and the fiber becomes thicker and the varieties worse. Generally, 1,000-1500 kg of buds can be collected per acre. The market price of our county is 2-3 yuan per kilogram, and the output value per mu is about 3,000 yuan. Because Yanghe can be harvested continuously for many years in a year, in addition to the large investment in the first year, the annual investment in the future is low, and the benefits are considerable.

After 3 to 4 years of continuous harvesting, part of the seed hoe should be dug properly, on the one hand to prevent failure of the hoe due to excessive density, on the other hand, you can use the excavated seed hoe to expand the area.

It is worth noting that there are fewer diseases and insect pests in sporadic cultivation, but when continuous planting in large areas, the disease is significantly worse after several years of continuous cropping. Therefore, after the plant leaves are found to die abnormally, the roots should be immediately irrigated with bactericides such as tobzine, dixon, and transplanted spirit, and the foliage should be sprayed with "green milk copper" to protect them.
