Cultivation techniques and management of taro

When planting taro, we should provide it with sandy soil with high organic matter content, and choose to sow it in February-March every spring, which is beneficial to the rapid germination of taro. Moreover, in the process of taro growth, it is necessary to apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer to promote plant growth and improve taro yield.

How to cultivate taro 1, soil conditions

Taro is suitable for growing in fertile and loose sandy loam. When planting taro, soil with strong fertility and water retention should be selected, and then decomposed cake fertilizer, plant ash fertilizer and farmyard manure should be applied to the soil to increase the organic matter content in the soil and provide nutrients for the growth of taro.

2. Sowing time

The best sowing date of taro is February-March every spring, because the temperature at this time is higher than 10 degrees, but not more than 20 degrees, which is beneficial to improve the germination rate of taro. When planting taro, if it is sown too late, its seeds will rot, while if it is sown too early, it will lead to the slow growth of taro.

3. Planting method

When planting taro, its tubers need to be evenly buried in the soil, and then covered with a layer of straw or film to make taro grow healthily. Moreover, taro is a fertilizer-loving plant, so it is necessary to apply a mixed fertilizer of nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer in the plant growth period to accelerate the growth of taro.

4. Maintenance management

When curing taro, it is necessary to adjust the watering times according to the soil moisture. If there is water in the soil, you should immediately dig a drainage ditch for taro to prevent taro from rotting. If the soil is dry, it is necessary to water taro and trim its leaves regularly to provide nutrients for tubers.
