How to plant sweet potato and when to make the seeds germinate quickly

Suitable time for planting sweet potato

The planting time of yam is in spring, usually between April and May, because the temperature is most stable at this time, which is very suitable for its growth. However, the planting time varies in different regions. For example, it will be planted earlier in the south.

Methods and key points of planting yam

1. Sowing : Before planting yam, its seeds need to be germinated. First, you need to select healthy seeds without diseases and insect pests, then soak them in warm water at 30 degrees for about four hours, take them out and put them in an environment of about 28 degrees to dry. After waiting for a period of time, its seeds will grow into seedlings.

2. Transplantation : After the yam seeds grow into seedlings, they can be planted in the prepared soil in advance and covered with a thin layer of soil. After planting, you can spray the surface of the soil with a solution of carbendazim to kill the bacteria in the soil. You can also pour uncontaminated pure water into the soil to keep the soil moist.

Points to note in daily management of yam

Yam likes to grow in soil that is relatively rich in organic matter and has good drainage. Therefore, when planting, it is best to use sandy loam or yellow loam that is relatively rich in nutrients and relatively loose. After planting, you can loosen the soil for the yam regularly.
