Planting methods and techniques of sweet potato

There are three ways to grow sweet potatoes:

First, high-quality sweet potatoes are directly buried in the seedbed as seeds, and then cut and transplanted into the ground after germination. Farmers call it bud sweet potato;

Second, choose sweet potato branches that grow well in the field, cut them and plant them in the field, which farmers call Miao sweet potato;

Third, plant high-quality sweet potatoes directly into the ground. Farmers call this method laying eggs with sweet potatoes. Generally speaking, few people use this method because of its high cost.

Sweet potato is a big-bellied man. If you want to have a good yield, you must apply enough base fertilizer. Plant ash after retting in rural areas is an ideal base fertilizer, and it is better to add appropriate amount of phosphate fertilizer when preparing soil. Nitrogen fertilizer is easy to cause potato seedlings to grow wildly, so it should be strictly controlled when applied.

No matter in the mountains or plains, planting sweet potatoes should be ridged. This can not only prevent waterlogging, but also increase the permeability of sweet potato root system and make its root system swell, which is convenient for final harvest.

After years of research, it is found that the yield of horizontal transplanting of sweet potato seedlings is higher than that of direct transplanting, so interested friends can give it a try.
