Which month is suitable for planting konjac?

When to plant konjac

Konjac is more suitable to be planted in spring or winter. In spring, you can choose to plant it from March to April, when the temperature is most suitable. In winter, you can plant it in January and February, because the temperature begins to warm up, which allows it to grow well and the yield is higher.

Konjac harvest time/flowering time

The growth cycle of konjac is relatively long. If it is planted in March, it will usually mature around September or October, which takes a long time. Therefore, good fertilizer and water management should be carried out during daily maintenance, so that the yield will be higher when it matures.

Konjac planting methods and key points

1. Site selection and land preparation: Konjac has relatively high requirements for the planting environment, so when planting, you must use loose, fertile, well-drained acidic soil, and deep plowing and land preparation are required before planting.

2. Sowing: Before sowing konjac, the seed taro needs to be disinfected to prevent invasion by pathogens. Then it is planted in rows with a depth of about 5 cm. After planting, it needs to be watered appropriately.

3. Field management: After sowing, konjac has a relatively large demand for fertilizer, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer in time, mainly with farmyard manure and supplemented with chemical fertilizer, and water it appropriately.
