Konjac Planting Technology and Prospects

Konjac Planting Technology

1. Temperature requirements

Konjac likes warmth and avoids high temperatures. It is sensitive to temperature. High temperature will affect the growth and yield of konjac. Generally speaking, the most suitable temperature for the growth of konjac corms is 22-30℃ . In addition, if the temperature difference between day and night is large when planting konjac, it is more conducive to increasing the yield and improving the quality.

2. Lighting requirements

Konjac is a semi-shade plant that prefers scattered light and weak light and is afraid of strong light. With the development of the konjac planting industry, konjac can be intercropped and interplanted with corn, fruit trees, and other tall crops to effectively meet the growth needs of konjac.

3. Soil requirements

Konjac has high requirements for soil and is suitable for growing in deep, loose, slightly acidic soil . Light sandy loam that is rich in organic matter and has good ventilation and drainage is most suitable for the growth of konjac. Loose, thick and fertile soil is an important guarantee for the development of konjac's root system and the expansion of its bulbs.

Prospects of Konjac Planting

Konjac is mainly used in food processing in the market. In addition, the health care products industry has also been developing and utilizing it in recent years. Therefore, the market demand is very large and the price of konjac is much higher than in previous years.

In the past, the price of konjac was low, and many farmers did not grow it, which greatly affected the yield. The market demand could not meet the supply, and the price rose. Many buyers could not find the source of goods, so they went directly to the farmers' production areas to purchase. Therefore, there is still a good prospect for planting .
