Ginger is planted in early May and harvested in June and July.

Before sowing, carefully select ginger seeds and remove moldy, rotten and withered ginger slices. It is better to choose ginger with 50- 100g and 1-2 strong buds for planting ginger. Large Jiang Ye can be planted, but the amount of seeds is large and the cost is high. It can be cut with a knife or opened by hand, but the wound should be disinfected with plant ash or lime before sowing.

Extended data:

Ginger is native to tropical areas of Southeast Asia. I like warm and humid climate, and my ability to resist cold and drought is weak. These plants can only grow during the frost-free period. The optimum growth temperature is 25-28℃. When the temperature is lower than 20℃, the germination is slow, the plants wither when exposed to frost, and the roots completely lose their germination ability.

The annual average temperature in most counties of Guangxi is 18- 19℃, the average temperature in July is 25.3℃, and the extreme high temperature is 39℃. 1 monthly average temperature 10.2℃, extreme low temperature -4℃. The frost-free period of the whole year is more than 330 days. The annual rainfall is 900- 1300mm, and the air relative humidity is about 80%.
