Land preparation and ridging: Choose the best sandy soil with convenient irrigation and drainage, apply 2,000-3,000 kilograms of farmyard manure per mu, spread it flat, and then plough deeply, without applying chemical fertilizer or pesticides. Row spacing 1m, plant spacing of 0.6 m, planting per mu 1 165438. 2. Planting: The planting period varies from place to place. Generally, it is planted in spring when the ground temperature of 5cm is stable at 14- 15℃, and it can be planted in protected land in advance. The planting method can be directly planted in the field, or it can be planted in the field after the seedlings are raised in the greenhouse with nutrition bowls or bags. In summer, branches and underground sprouting lateral branches can also be cut. 3. Management: After planting, when the height of the seedlings is 20cm, water them to conserve moisture, and combine weeding and soil cultivation. If the amount of fertilization before planting is insufficient, an appropriate amount of soil miscellaneous fertilizer should be added at this stage. Be careful not to use chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Water the soil when it is dry and drain it in time after rain. When the stem grows to about 1m, tillers will grow at the base, resulting in gloomy fields. For those with average growth, 1-2 tiller growth can be selected appropriately. In order to expand propagation, broken tillers can be used as propagation materials for cutting, and a large number of bulbs will be harvested when growing in late autumn. 4. Fruit harvest: around 10, the bunches of flowers at the top of the plant began to wither, the leaves began to turn yellow, and the fruits began to be dug. The south can stay underground for the winter and dig it out for sale at any time. The north should be dug up before the frost and stored in the cellar, like sweet potatoes. Stems can be used as high-quality feed, leaves and flowers have high nutritional value, and can be dried for tea or processed and reused. Generally speaking, each plant bears 3 fruits. 5. Seed conservation: after the yacon is dug, cut off the seed balls on the upper part of the fruit, dry the wound, soak it in potassium permanganate solution of 100 times for 3 minutes, take it out and bury it in a cellar or a room free from freezing damage with wet sand for planting next spring.
