1. Soil: When planting taro, the soil needs to be plowed deeply, and then potassium sulfate and superphosphate are applied as base fertilizers. 2. Germination: Select plump and disease-free taro tubers, and then place them in wet sand for germination. 3. Planting: Bury taro seeds into the soil and water them once a week. 4. Maintenance: After the taro emerges, urea should be applied once. How to plant taro
1. Soil conditions
Taro is suitable for growing in loose soil with high organic matter content. When planting taro, you need to use a machine first Plow 30 centimeters of soil, and then add decomposed farmyard manure, superphosphate, and potassium sulfate as base fertilizers to provide the taro with the nutrients it needs to grow vigorously.
2. Germination treatment
When planting taro, you need to choose plump, healthy and disease-free tubers, and then soak the taro tubers in potassium permanganate solution for 10-15 Minutes to eliminate surface germs, then bury the taro tubers in moist sand, and control the ambient temperature at about 25 degrees to promote the rapid emergence of taro seedlings.
3. Planting method
When sowing and propagating taro, you need to dig a small hole in the soil first, bury the taro in the hole, and then water it once. The soil should be kept moist and covered with a layer of mulch, and sand should be used to compact the surrounding mulch to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, which is conducive to the normal growth of taro.
4. Maintenance and management
If you want to increase the yield of taro, you must topdress the plants with urea once after they emerge to speed up the growth of the taro and ensure that the taro grows faster. In the peak season, it needs to be topdressed with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer 1-2 times, and during the expansion period of taro tubers, potassium dihydrogen phosphate needs to be sprayed on its leaves.
