How to plant yam

1. Site selection and seed selection

It is best to choose fertile, loose, and easily irrigated land for yam planting, and avoid saline-alkali and clay soil. If you want to obtain high yields, it is best to choose higher-yield varieties such as Jiujinhuang, Japanese White, and Niutui Yam.

2. Germination and sowing

Before planting yam, you can spread about 3-5 cm of river sand on the field ridges, then place the seed potatoes on it, and then cover it with a 3-5 cm layer of straw or river sand. If you encounter rainy weather, you also need to build a small arch shed in time for insulation.
