How to grow yams at home?

Yam is a vegetable that uses underground fleshy tuber organs as food, which means that it has higher soil requirements. If the soil layer is deep, has good air permeability, and is rich in organic matter , and if the drainage is relatively good, it is possible to plant yam in sandy soil or sandy loam soil. The border height is required to be more than 60 cm, and the border surface is 80 cm. This is conducive to the growth of yam, and the yield will also increase significantly. Friends who believe it can give it a try.

2. Apply sufficient base fertilizer

After finishing the border, we can choose roots with a length of 1.5 meters and a diameter of 2 centimeters to make holes here. Such deep holes are very suitable for the growth of yam. , will also make yams grow straight and long. In addition, the use of some decomposed organic fertilizers, such as high-quality manure and human urine, can promote the increase of yam production. Generally, after we need to fertilize one acre of yam, its output will be about At around 2,000 kilograms, it may be timely combined with the Israeli Woye series of water-soluble fertilizers to improve the quality of the mountain. This kind of output is the result that many people want.

3. Sowing at the right time

Generally we will choose around mid-March every year, and the weather on that day is required to be sunny, and then cut the yam into 5 cm sections, and place them in each section. Place a section of the hole vertically, be careful not to put it upside down, and pay attention to the spacing of fertilizer seeds, because if they are too close, it will cause root rot, and then cover it with a layer of soil, about 5-8 cm thick. .

In fact, the field management during this period is to use the tubers of yam underground to propagate. Generally, it needs to go through the germination and seedling stages, and then the tree growth stage and the tuber expansion stage. What we have seen The tubers generally contain strength in the early stage. In the early stage, the stems and leaves grow relatively vigorously. In the later stage, the growth of tubers is the main focus, and its tubers account for about 85% of all substances. If we need to fertilize, we generally use Israeli fertile nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, which is beneficial to the growth of tubers.

4. Harvest at the right time

The harvesting period of yam is longer than that of ordinary plants. Generally, the harvesting period of yam is very long, usually starting from September and continuing until September. During the Spring Festival this year, if it is for higher economic benefits, it is recommended that everyone harvest the best in early September.
