Propagation methods of Chinese Yam

Chinese yam is also called Huaishan, which must be a kind of traditional Chinese medicine vegetable that everyone is very familiar with. It has a very high medicinal value. It has a long history of planting and eating in China. Now the market of yam is also better, and more and more people are planting it. How to reproduce yam when planting is a very important work, which is the key to ensure whether it can be planted normally and continuously. The following small series brings you the breeding method of yam. Let's take a look together!

1. Reeds breed

When the yam is ripe in October and November every year, dig out the root of the yam, and then select the reed head with short neck, full bud head, thick and free of wounds and pests as the breeding mother. Then break it at about 18 cm of the reed head and expose it to the sun for about 3 days to promote wound recovery. Then dig pits in the soil for storage, and do a good job of deep ploughing and fertilizing when the ground temperature in winter is kept above 5 degrees Celsius. The row spacing control at about 40 cm, plant spacing of about 18 cm, ready for planting. After planting, water in time, under normal management 2-3 weeks or so can take root and sprout.

2. Plant bud propagation

Bud propagation is mainly carried out through yam beans, which are first picked after yam ripeness and then stored in dry sand. In the spring of February-April when it will be taken out, and then a few days of sun, because the germination of yam beans is relatively strong, and disease resistance is not weak. Therefore, it is usually not necessary to germinate, and the plant spacing is controlled at about 10*22 cm when sowing. Dig planting holes, put about 3 yam beans in each hole, and then cover 5 cm of fine soil. Do a good job of sowing management, about two weeks later can sprout.

3. Root propagation

Root propagation as the name suggests is the use of root propagation treatment, first pick out 1 meter long, about 3 cm in diameter root about the mother root. Then cut the root tuber into small pieces of about 18 cm, and mark each small piece for easy identification and management. After marking, dip the cut surface into lime powder and appropriate amount of lime powder. Then expose it to the sun. Pay attention to the occurrence of wind and rain when drying seeds to avoid causing root injury. When cracks appear in small sections, the temperature is above 13 degrees and the average low temperature is about 11 degrees, planting can be carried out. When planting, we should pay attention to digging ditches, keeping good planting density, digging planting holes, putting root tuber vertically, covering soil and ridging, and doing well management.

The above is a simple introduction to the method of yam reproduction, yam reproduction method is more. No matter what breeding method is used, it has different advantages and disadvantages, and it is also suitable for different environments and planting scales. Therefore, when we reproduce, we should pay attention to reasonable selection of breeding methods. Today's introduction is here, this article is for reference only, I hope to help everyone oh!
