Xingjian Organic Village, Sanxing Township, Yilan County, is a well-known organic settlement, and in recent years, organic taro has even tried to cultivate betel nut heart taro organically. however, pesticides cannot be used in the cultivation process of organic taro, and it is not easy to manage diseases and insect pests, and organic fertilizer is not as fast as chemical fertilizer. the taro grown is one size smaller than the habitual cultivation of taro using pesticides and chemical fertilizers, causing farmers not to dare to try lightly. Hualien Agricultural Reform Farm develops the "organic taro intercropping cultivation mode", which can also harvest lettuce while planting taro, which not only improves the efficiency of farmland utilization, but also increases the income of farmers.

What is meant by "organic taro-vegetable intercropping mode"? It means that "intercropping" between taro and Fushan lettuce increases farmers' income by planting two crops in the same organic field. Lin Wenhua, an assistant researcher in Lanyang, pointed out that betel nut taros in Ilan are mostly planted in November and harvested in August the next year. Taro seedlings are still very small when they are just planted, and the remaining space on the border surface is still very spacious. At this time, the use of space to plant Fushan lettuce, commonly known as "mainland A dish", not only does not affect the growth of taro seedlings. It can also greatly improve the utilization efficiency of organic fields.
