Taro needs a certain water layer during the growth period, and the water layer at the seedling stage is 3-5 cm. The water depth at the peak of leaf growth should be 5-7 cm, and water and irrigation should be controlled 6-7 days before harvesting to prevent bulbs from being too wet and difficult to store. At this time, the room temperature is kept at 20-25℃. It will germinate in about 20 days, and the taro can be planted after germination. 4500-6000 plants per mu. Sowing in large and small rows according to the plant spacing of 27-33 cm, large row spacing of 60 cm and small row spacing of 30 cm.
The growth and development of taro does not need too strong sunlight, and it can grow normally in weak light, so the requirements for light conditions are not so high. Generally speaking, scattered light is more conducive to the growth of taro, and the development, growth and expansion of stem block need a certain short sunshine. Taro adapted to the high temperature and humid growth environment, and at the same time removed the photosynthetic organs, which affected the growth of taro. Why does taro grow vigorously? For the prosperity of taro, we can start from the following aspects to reduce the unfavorable factors of taro prosperity and improve the yield and quality of taro.
Taro is frost-proof and likes warm and humid climate. Sowing is usually carried out after local frost, and premature sowing is easy to cause rotten seeds. The growth period of taro is long, and it can germinate when the temperature is above 13- 15℃. Generally, it is planted around mid-March (plastic film cultivation can be planted before February if conditions permit). In addition, the growing period needs a lot of water, is resistant to weak light, and does not require high light intensity. Suitable for growing in water, paddy field, low-lying land or ditch are generally selected for cultivation.
