When is taro planted in the twenty-four solar terms? When will it be harvested?

Under normal circumstances, taro is suitable for spring cultivation, and it is usually harvested around1-March (beginning of spring) and in late summer or autumn (August-10).

Matters needing attention in planting taro:

First, it is very important to choose soil and water.

First of all, we should prepare for the planting environment, because the root system of taro is deeply distributed, so we should choose fertile soil and apply sufficient fertilizer before planting to ensure the smooth germination of taro. Secondly, taro has a large yield and a long growth cycle, so it needs long-term irrigation to prevent the soil from drying. In the process of growth, special attention should be paid to irrigation, otherwise it will lead to taro dysplasia and yield decline.

Second, remove taro to ensure development.

As mentioned above, the mother taro of taro will grow into a sub-taro in the growth process, and because of its special growth habit and growth cycle, in order to promote the better growth of taro, some sub-taro must be removed to ensure the nutrition and moisture of other taro, so that the mother taro can grow well, and it is enough to leave 3-4 sub-taro when removing it.

Third, we must prevent pests and diseases.

Finally, we need to pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases. Such delicious food is bound to be favored by insects. The harm of aphids and spiders to taro is very serious, so we should not only carefully observe the leaves of taro, but also apply a certain amount of pesticides in the soil where taro grows to ensure the good development of taro.
