Breeding method:

Cutting propagation, sowing propagation and branching propagation. The three propagation methods of spring taro are simple to operate.

Cutting propagation:

The most suitable time for cutting propagation is May-September. Choose long branches that are free from pests and diseases and grow healthily. Cut them and put them directly in the river, but keep the river sand clean and put them in the shade. The best temperature is about 25 degrees, and the air is best kept moist. New roots can grow in about 20 to 25 days.

Ramet propagation:

Division and reproduction are the roots of old plants. When new small plants grow and change pots, new plants can be directly moved to new flowerpots for planting. However, when migrating to new plants, try not to damage the old plants and their roots. At the same time, the core can be removed, which can promote the growth of lateral plants and prevent the height of plants from being too high. When the lateral plant grows to about 15 cm, it can be transplanted. Like other plants, sowing and reproduction are the easiest.

Sowing and breeding:

Anthracnose and leaf spot are common diseases of taro, which can be controlled by zineb, thiophanate-methyl and carbendazim, and the control effect is obvious. Scale insects and red spiders are common pests of taro, and special pesticides can be sprayed. For scale insects, it can enhance the ventilation effect and effectively prevent them. For the red spider, watering can be used to moisten the growth environment of taro, and it can also effectively prevent and control the red spider.
