When is a good time to plant sweet potatoes?

Sweet potato should be planted in two time periods, the first time period is April 20th-May 10, and the second time period is June 10-20.

There are two time periods in a year that are more suitable for planting sweet potatoes. The first phase is from April 20th to May 10. After planting, keep the temperature above 15℃ and harvest in August-September. The second period is June 10-20. After planting, it should be kept warm and harvested in September-10.

When planting, basically other solar terms can be planted except in hot summer, but continuous rainy weather should be avoided when planting, because such weather will reduce the inventory of sweet potato seedlings and reduce the yield of sweet potato.

Planting situation in the Yangtze River basin

It is best to raise seedlings in greenhouses in the Yangtze River valley first, and then cut them after the cold spring. When cutting sweet potato seedlings, the temperature needed for their growth should be above 15 degrees, and it is more suitable when the ground temperature of shallow soil reaches 17- 18 degrees. In order to prevent the seedlings from growing slowly or seriously lacking plants, it should not be sought too early.

When planting, you can choose the way of horizontal transplantation. The fruit of this planting method is relatively uniform, and there are many sweet potatoes, but the only disadvantage is that it is not drought-tolerant. Once there is more rain, it will cause a large area of production reduction. The second is that direct cultivation can be used, so that the sweet potatoes planted in this way are generally larger.
