How to plant sweet potato seedlings: select seedlings, plow and divide the ridges to apply base fertilizer, plant flat and step on the ridges, and manage later.
1. Select seedlings
When others are harvesting sweet potatoes, you can go to the site to observe, select those with high yields, and buy some sweet potato seedlings to complete high-yield sweet potatoes. With the selection of seeds, there is no need to worry about the impact of climate problems on the yield.

2. Plow and apply base fertilizer in divided ridges
Divide the plot into several ridges. Each ridge is 50 cm wide and 25 cm high. The width and height are not fixed and can be floated appropriately. After the ridge is completed, a seed trench is opened on the top of the ridge, about 25 cm deep, and then farmyard manure is sprinkled into the seed trench as base fertilizer. The fertilizer is evenly distributed according to the amount of farmyard manure. Generally, a maximum of one-third is sprinkled. Just one ditch.

Sweet potato has the characteristics of wide adaptability, strong resistance to stress, tolerance to drought and barrenness, strong plant absorption and regeneration capabilities, and resistance to diseases and pests. Therefore, it is evergreen and grows vigorously in the south subtropical region.
The sweet potato root cultivation method can make full use of the planting space. At the same time, when the cultivation volume is relatively large, it can effectively increase the yield of sweet potatoes. Secondly, each cultivation method has many different advantages and disadvantages. No matter which cultivation method is chosen, the temperature must be properly controlled during cultivation to facilitate the healthy growth of sweet potatoes.
