Sun-dried before sowing to accelerate germination. First of all, we should choose full and complete seed taro, put it in sand or straw curtain at 20-25℃, and germinate in about 10- 15 days. Because taro likes fertilizer, 4-5 tons of grain ring fertilizer and 150 kg of potassium sulfate compound fertilizer can be applied per mu during soil preparation, and then plowed and raked for cultivation. Taro seeds are generally planted by digging ditches with a spacing of 70-80 cm, a depth of 20 cm and a row spacing of 25-30 cm.

Seeds can germinate about 10 days after sowing. After germination, turn over the soil, fertilize and water in time. In the whole growth cycle of taro, topdressing is usually carried out 2-3 times.
