The correct method of planting taro was briefly introduced.

1. Land selection and soil preparation: Taro is a thermophilic crop with poor cold and drought tolerance. The optimum temperature of taro is about 26℃, and lower than 12 or higher than 26℃ will hinder the growth and development of taro. Although taro is a water-loving crop, it should not be overworked, let alone excessively dry and continuous cropping. Otherwise, it will seriously affect the growth and development of taro, and taro is suitable for planting in wet land with good drainage system. Before sowing, plow the land, apply sufficient base fertilizer, and mix ash miscellaneous fertilizer and ternary compound fertilizer per mu. The ash fertilizer is not completely decomposed and cannot be used.

2. Seeding and scaffolding: taro is generally suitable for sowing in spring. If the underground temperature is still low, it can be postponed to Tomb-Sweeping Day. If you decide to cover the film after sowing, you can start sowing around beginning of spring, and the dosage per mu is about 200 kg. Choose small taro which is worthless, crack-free and free of plant diseases and insect pests for sowing. When sowing, the ridge should be well prepared, the row spacing between ditches is about 0.5m, and the spacing between plants is about 0.25m, which should be covered after sowing. After the emergence of seedlings, greenhouses should be built, and every four or five greenhouses should be tied with ropes at the top to prevent them from being blown down by strong winds.

3. Strengthen management: apply farmyard manure twice after emergence. Looking at the growth trend of taro in summer and applying compound fertilizer properly can promote the growth of taro root system. It is necessary to loosen the soil and weed properly, remove the side vines and heart leaves, ensure the permeability between taro, and improve the quality and yield. We should also pay attention to pests and diseases that are easy to occur in daily life, such as aphids and grubs. In the middle and late stage, when bulbs expand and leaves grow, we should ensure the water needed for growth, and drain in time in case of heavy rain to prevent waterlogging.

4. Mining and storage: Taros are generally harvested in autumn and winter. When the taro is cooked, it can be pulled out directly, and the big and well-developed incense can be stored. The underdeveloped incense can be used for the next seed. If you are not in a hurry to sell after harvest, you can store incense in the cellar for the winter. When storing, cover the incense layer by layer, no more than one meter, and pay attention to ventilation and moisturizing. As long as it is not dry, incense can be preserved for a long time without deterioration.
