What crops are suitable for growing on terraced fields?

Terraced fields generally refer to fields with wavy cross-sections. This type of field can store water, conserve soil, and increase production, and can effectively prevent soil erosion. However, what crops are suitable for planting depends on the local climate and soil type.

There are many varieties of crops suitable for planting on terraces. The more common ones are potatoes, beans, rapeseed, peanuts, sweet potatoes, sesame, and rye. In addition, some fruit trees or medicinal herbs are also possible.

1. Rapeseed

Rapeseed can be planted in terraced fields. This plant has a very good adaptability to the environment and likes warmth and light. However, before planting, it needs to be combined with tillage and soil loosening and weeding.

2. Sesame

Sesame can also be grown on terraced fields. It is known as the "crown of eight grains" and has high nutritional value. If you want high-quality and high-yield sesame, reasonable fertilization is very important. Pay attention to the coordinated application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements.

3. Potatoes

Potatoes are more suitable for planting in terraced fields on the Loess Plateau. The climate here is very suitable for the growth of tubers, and the plants also prefer deep, loosely structured soil, so that the potatoes can be large, thin-skinned, and tender.
