Ginger has certain requirements for nutrients. It is best for the soil to contain humus and be relatively fertile. It is afraid of drought and waterlogging, so it is best to use sandy loam soil. In terms of pH, loam soils that are slightly acidic or neutral are best. The choice of soil quality affects the growth of ginger. If the soil quality is too sticky and heavy, water accumulation will be very serious, resulting in poor growth of ginger in it.

1. Soil quality requirements

1. Fertility: It has certain requirements for nutrients during its growth. The nutrients in it need to be sufficient. You cannot use soil that is too poor. It is difficult to absorb nutrients during growth. It contains humus, which can provide nutrients to plants.

2. Soft: its root system is very thin and weak. Crops with underground stems are distributed relatively shallowly on the ground surface, about 30cm below the soil surface, so they are afraid of drought and waterlogging, so it is best to use sandy loam soil.

3. pH value: It is best to keep loam soil slightly acidic or neutral. Growth in heavily alkaline soil is limited, which affects the growth of ginger in the later period.

2. Influence of different soil qualities

The choice of soil quality affects the growth of ginger. If you provide it with sandy soil, the ginger that grows will have a stronger spicy taste and a strong volatile aroma, but the yield is not high, so it is suitable for drying to make dried ginger. If clay soil with a lot of humus is provided, the ginger that grows 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, resulting in poor growth of ginger in it and harvest problems.
