Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a popular rhizome plant used as a spice and medicinal ingredient. Its rhizome is finger-shaped and swollen at the middle joints. Ginger grows well at an altitude of 0 to 1500 meters above sea level, except for the elephant ginger species which grows at an altitude of 500 to 950 meters. In order to achieve optimal production, it requires rainfall of 2500 to 3000 mm per year, humidity of 80%, and moist soil with a pH of 5.5 to 7.0 and high nutrient content. The soil used for planting ginger should not be waterlogged.
