Sweet potato is also called sweet potato. What should we pay attention to when planting sweet potatoes in rural areas?

As we all know, the midsection in the 24 solar terms is the time of wheat harvest. At this time, the weather is sunny, accompanied by rain from time to time. After harvesting all the wheat, farmers in rural areas will invite people to plow the wheat fields and bake them. Sweet potato planting depends on the temperature. Because of local differences, the time is different. Spring sweet potato planting generally begins in the middle of February of the lunar calendar. Take out the reserved sweet potatoes from the cellar and discharge them into the dug shallow pit.

After wheat stubble, the growth time of sweet potato is short, the yield is low, it needs to be planted in time, and it is late to market and cheap. However, after storage, listing around the Spring Festival can still have good returns. Generally speaking, the average temperature suitable for sweet potato growth should be above 15℃, so spring potato generally begins to grow in late June at 65438+ 10, and is planted from late March to mid-April. Summer potatoes are generally raised in April and planted after wheat harvest in June.

Sweet potato is a drought-tolerant and warm-loving crop. Weeds should be shallow grass, and there is generally no need to water them later. Pay attention to the crazy growth of sweet potato. After the mid-term rain, the stems and vines should be turned over once, otherwise the stems will scramble to take root and affect the nutritional components of the main roots. Before and after the first frost in autumn, sweet potato plants must be planted first, and seedlings can be cultivated in sweet potato pond before planting. I can plant it around May Day. Mine has been planted for four or five days. This problem depends on the specific situation, such as melon seedlings and management. You don't have to plant early to get high yield.

Sweet potatoes are not hardy and stored in underground cellars in winter. Raw food will be sweeter in February and March next year. To grow sweet potatoes, we must first raise seedlings. In the high altitude areas in February of the lunar calendar in southern China, it should be covered with film. First, seedlings should be cultivated in seedbeds to prevent freezing injury caused by frost and snow. Protect them with film, dig up the ground, and then rearrange them. Seed potatoes should be arranged neatly, and then covered with a layer of fine soil to improve the ground temperature of the seedbed. After one month, spray water and fertilize the seedbed twice a week. Sweet potatoes put the sweet potatoes in the first year's wheat stubble into the seedbed a few days before and after the vernal equinox. Grain Rain can stop around the festival, about April 22nd.
