When planting yam, you should choose a flat field, then cut the yam seed block into small pieces of 15cm, and daub plant ash on the fracture, and then bury it in a deep ditch with a row spacing of 40cm. After the yam germinates, you should also mix the decomposed farmyard manure into the soil to improve the growth speed of seedlings.

How to plant yam 1, soil preparation and fertilization

Yam is suitable for growing in fertile and loose soil with good drainage. When planting, you should choose a field with good ventilation and drainage to the sun, and use a hoe to break up the caked soil in the field, and then mix the decomposed farmyard manure into it to provide a nutritious growth environment for yam.

2, seed block processing

Yam can be propagated by seed blocks. First, seed blocks with smooth surface and no pests and diseases should be selected, and they should be cut into small pieces of 15 cm with a sterilized knife. Then, the seed blocks should be put into plant ash, and the wound should be wrapped with plant ash, and then they should be dried in the sun until the fracture is cracked.

3, planting

When planting yam, we should dig a trench with a row spacing of 40 cm and a depth of 10 cm in the soil, and then put the treated seed blocks into it, keeping the spacing at 20 cm and covering it with thick soil. If the ambient temperature is too low, cover the soil with a plastic film to keep the yam warm.

4, post-management

After it is found that yam grows seedlings, the plastic film can be removed, and furrows can be dug and fertilized in the soil near the root of yam to provide it with sufficient nutrition. After the vine of yam grows to a length of one meter, a wooden pole should be used to build a bracket for it, and the overgrown branches and leaves should be cut off to improve the ventilation of yam.
