GINGER (Step 7)

Weeding

  • During the first 4 to 6 weeks, the plot is kept clean by hand weeding.
  • 3-4 weedings are given depending on the strength of the weeds for a greater yield.

EARTHING-UP

  • Khurpi is used to break up fibrous roots in the soil around the plants, allowing new growth to develop.
  • The soil around the rhizomes loosens and becomes friable, which helps in healthy rhizome development. For proper rhizome growth and development, at least two earthing ups are required.
