Taro planting time

Taro is suitable for cultivation in spring, usually more in January-March (the Beginning of Spring), and harvested in late summer or autumn (August-October).

Taro planting method

1. Fine selection and preparation of land and adequate application of base fertilizer. Taro should avoid continuous cropping, and the yield of continuous cropping will be reduced by 20% in a year, planted on the ground where the previous crop is sweet potato, followed by peanut stubble, and the previous stubble of corn and other Gramineae crops should be reduced by 30%. The edible organ of taro is underground corm, and the root system of taro is deep, so it is appropriate to choose fields with fertile soil, strong fertilizer and water retention, deep soil layer, fertile, loose, convenient drainage and irrigation, and have not planted taro in the first year.

2. Sowing time. Taro avoid frost, like warm and humid climate, sowing is generally carried out after the local final frost, early sowing is easy to cause rotten seeds. Taro has a long growth period and can only germinate at more than 15 ℃. It is generally planted around the first and middle of March (conditional plastic film cultivation can be planted before February).

3. Seed drying and sprouting. In order to ensure the neatness of seedling emergence, seed drying and wet sand should be carried out 20 days before sowing. When sprouting, the stored taro can be dried for 1 ℃ for 2 days, and then the seed taro will be closely arranged in the budding bed. Pay attention to moisturizing when sprouting, so that the temperature can be controlled at 18 min 20 min. After 15 mi 20 days, the bud can be sown with 1 cm long.

4. Reasonable close planting to improve plant yield. The density should be determined according to variety, soil, water and fertilizer, denser if the condition is good, and thinner if the condition is poor. From the point of view of economic benefit, it is reasonable to plant 4500 trees per mu. The large and small row cultivation method was used to sow seeds according to the plant spacing of 27mur33 cm, large row spacing of 60 cm and small row spacing of 30 cm.
