Planting method and time of Taro

Planting time: taro is usually planted from January to March in the Beginning of Spring season. Planting method: the soil with moist and good drainage and irrigation conditions should be selected, ploughing the land and applying sufficient basic fertilizer, and the taro with no disease and insect pests, no damage and smaller size should be sown according to row spacing 50cm, plant spacing 25cm, and then covered with plastic film to build a shed. After emergence, farm manure was applied twice, and an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer could be applied in summer. In the later stage, it was necessary to loosen the soil and weed regularly, and actively control diseases and insect pests such as aphids and grubs.

First, planting time

Taro is generally planted in the Beginning of Spring season, about January to March, planted early, can be harvested in late summer in August, and in autumn in October at the latest.

2. Planting environment

1. Taro is a kind of warm and water-loving crop, which is not cold-tolerant, drought-resistant, not suitable for continuous cropping, avoid waterlogging, and is suitable for growing at a temperature of about 26 ℃. If the temperature is higher than 26 ℃ and lower than 12 ℃, it will affect the normal growth of taro.

2. Planting taro should be planted on relatively moist land with good drainage and irrigation conditions. After selecting the planting land, the land should be ploughed and ploughed, and then sufficient base fertilizer should be applied. Each mu of optional ternary compound fertilizer and ash and miscellaneous fertilizer should be evenly mixed and applied together. Note that ash and miscellaneous fertilizer must be fully mature before it can be used.

Third, sowing seeds to build a shed

1. Taro is usually sown in spring. If the local climate temperature is low, sowing can be postponed to Ching Ming Festival. If sowing is covered with plastic film, sowing should be carried out before and after the Beginning of Spring. The sowing amount per mu is about 200jin.

2. Small taro with no diseases and insect pests, no damage and no economic value should be selected for sowing before sowing, and the field bed should be selected before sowing. The distance between the rows between the ditch and the ditch is about 50cm, and the distance between each plant is about 25cm. After sowing, the film can be covered.

3. After emergence, a greenhouse should be built. In order to prevent the strong wind from blowing down, every 4-5 ropes should be used to fasten the top of each greenhouse.

IV. Post-management

The main results are as follows: 1. Farm manure can be applied twice after emergence, and taro grows faster in summer. in order to promote the rapid growth of taro roots, an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer can be applied, and in order to improve the permeability and yield and quality of taro, soil loosening and weeding should be carried out regularly to remove all the lateral vines and heart leaves.

2. In addition, diseases and insect pests need to be prevented in advance during the growth period. The more common pests are aphids and grubs. They should be watered in time during bulb expansion and leaf growth, and should be drained in time in case of rainy season to prevent waterlogging.

5. Mining and storage

1. In general, taro is harvested in autumn and winter, the mature taro can be pulled out directly, and then the larger and well-developed taro can be stored, and the poorly developed taro can be sown as seeds next time.

2, after all harvest, do not rush to go on the market, can store it over the winter, first cover the taro with soil layers, no more than 1m, pay attention to keep moisture, ventilation, should not be too dry, so that it can be stored for a long time will not rot.
