Method and time of cassava planting

Cassava can be harvested for many years at a time, and it is a plant that is relatively easy to grow. It has a strong adaptability to the environment and generally has a high yield, and its economic value is relatively affordable. It generally appears in the form of powder. A lot of you like to eat food made of cassava powder. So when will cassava be planted? How to plant it? Next, let's introduce it to you by the pro-agriculture network.

Planting time

Cassava is usually planted in February, March or April every year, of course, the time of planting may be a little different in different areas, because cassava needs to grow in an environment above 15 degrees Celsius. If it falls below this temperature, it will be frostbitten or frozen to death, so it should be treated with heat preservation after the first year of planting and harvest until the dormant period in winter.

Planting method

1. Seed selection and soil preparation

Cassava is a product imported from abroad, and there are many suitable areas for growth in our country, but if we want cassava to be good, we should first choose a good variety of cassava. When selecting seeds, we should choose larger tubers. Carefully observe whether the surface of the seed stem is damaged or rotten, and then look at its uneven buds, whether it has been damaged, or whether it has been bitten by insects. Finally, just choose the right tuber to make seeds, of course, cassava can also be sown, generally choose the South China brand. When preparing the soil, we should fine the soil, then make ridges and ditches, and apply good basic fertilizer.

2. Planting method

There are three ways to plant cassava, which are flat, oblique and straight. We can choose the way of planting according to different topography, soil, environment and temperature. When planting, plant the selected tubers or seeds at intervals of about 80 centimeters in different ways, then cover them with a thin layer of soil, and then wait for it to break through the soil.

3. Field management

The first thing the field management needs to do is to replenish the seedlings in time if some seedlings do not emerge after 20 days, try to make up the seedlings within ten days, and then plant them. After planting, when it grows new roots and leaves, the first weeding will be carried out. The weeding method is usually mid-tillage weeding, the second weeding is usually two months later, and the last weeding is one month after the second weeding. This weeding should be accompanied by a fertilizer application to promote the growth of cassava. Cassava needs to be fertilized twice a year, the first time is about 35 days after planting, and the second is about 100 days after planting. The commonly used fertilizers are urea, potassium chloride and nitrogen fertilizer, which can make the root grow greatly and accumulate starch.

4. Disease and pest control

Cassava generally rarely have diseases, mainly to prevent voles and cassava red mites these two pests, generally we will be in the growth of cassava tubers for drug prevention to reduce losses.

5. Harvesting method

As cassava can be harvested for many years, there is no fixed harvest time, generally according to a certain period of time as long as cassava has been growing, you can go to the field to dig when you want to eat. If it is for sale, you can dig a little bit in the root of cassava to see if it is mature, as long as you grow up to a certain size, you can harvest it. Finally, a warm reminder that the collection time of cassava is only five or six days, so we should pay attention to it.
