Planting technology of banana potato

Banana taro is edible, suitable for the old and weak and children to eat or make noodles, wine, some rural areas will plant banana taro. So what are the planting techniques of banana taro?

I. planting

The seed propagation of banana potato is mainly used to cultivate new varieties, most of which are planted in rural areas by the method of tuber propagation, with small tubers or large tubers cut into small pieces, each piece must have 1-2 bud eyes, and then buried in clean sand soil to promote germination, about half a month later, when the bud grows to 4-5 cm. The whole tuber can be planted directly in the field.

Second, lighting

It is best for banana to shine all day, and sufficient light is required during the growing period to ensure that you receive at least 5 hours of direct sunlight every day. The environment is too dark and lack of light, which will delay the flowering period. If you put it in a cool place during flowering, you can prolong the flowering period.

Third, temperature

The most suitable temperature for the growth of banana potato is 15 to 30 degrees. If you want to prolong the flowering period, you can put it in a place with low temperature and no sunlight, and the ambient temperature should not be lower than 10 ℃. When the temperature is above 40 ℃, the canna can be moved to a cool and ventilated place. Before and after Frosts Descent, the pot can be moved to a temperature of 5-10 ℃ to survive the winter safely.

IV. Water and fertilizer management

1. Watering, banana taro is more resistant to moisture, can be watered more appropriately, but in hot summer, if the water temperature is too cold, it will also cause scorch on the edge of the leaf.

two。 Fertilization: in addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer before planting, topdressing should be applied 3-4 times a month in the peak growing season. If the buds are not produced 20-30 days before the scheduled flowering date, 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed on the leaves to promote flowering. If the fertilizer is too thick in the heat of summer, it will cauterize the roots and make them "burn to death".

Banana potato can be sliced or shredded to eat, can also be cold salad, as a pickle, can develop starch and deep processing, the benefit of planting is still relatively high.
