Spring is the most suitable time for planting yacon. Generally, it should not be too late for direct seeding, and it is best not to exceed April. If covered with mulch, it can be done in late March. If a small shed can be built, the planting time can be advanced appropriately. When planting, use high-quality seed potatoes, sterilize them and plant them in the soil. They can be transplanted when they grow to 13-15cm.

1. Planting Season

Spring is the most suitable time for planting yacon. If it is direct seeding, it should not be later than April. If sowing is done under mulching, the most suitable time is late March. Of course, the specific circumstances and planting time are also different. For example, if conditions permit, you can choose to build a shed, and then the planting time can also be pushed forward.

2. Planting and breeding methods

< p>1. Seed selection and disinfection: Before planting, you must select high-quality seed potatoes. There should be no spots on them, let alone mildew. It is best to have 1-2 buds, and each piece is about 30-50g. Do not damage the bud eyes when cutting, the cut surface should be smooth, and then use carbendazim or potassium permanganate for disinfection.

2. Planting and transplanting: When planting, spread the processed seed potatoes in the soil, then cover them with a layer of fine soil or river sand, and then cover them with straw. Moisturize. Just wait until the seedlings grow to 13-15cm before transplanting. After completing the transplanting work, it must be watered with rooting water. When transplanting, pay attention to the depth not being too shallow, about 5-6cm.

3. Precautions

It should be noted that planting should not be too close. There must be a certain distance between each plant. If it is too dense, it will affect their later growth.
