Jerusalem artichoke tuber propagation method

Specific operation: After harvesting tubers in autumn and winter, select tubers weighing about 20 to 25 grams for sowing, or you can store them in sand for future planting.

Jerusalem artichoke sowing and propagation method

Sowing time

It can be propagated by sowing in spring, using hole sowing or furrow sowing. After loosening the soil, apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer before sowing. After sowing, cover the soil and level the hole.

Field management

After the seeds germinate, appropriate top dressing and watering should be carried out. The principle of watering should be "watering when the soil is dry and watering when the soil is wet", and inter-row cultivation and weeding should be carried out. When the stems and leaves grow too lush, the plants can be topped to promote the enlargement of the tubers. Jerusalem artichokes rarely suffer from diseases and pests. If aphids appear during a very dry period, you can spray them with water.
