The soft and sticky taro is very popular, especially now many catering industries will steam taro or taro steamed pork ribs. Taro can also be processed into many delicious foods. The prospects for taro cultivation in China are still good. Let’s learn and understand together which month is the best for planting taro? Which month is the best to plant taro? The best time to plant taro depends mainly on regional and climatic conditions, as well as the taro variety chosen. Generally speaking, taro is best grown in spring and summer. The best seasons for growing taro are from March to May in spring and from June to August in summer. This is because taro likes a warm environment, and the temperature gradually rises in spring, which is suitable for the growth of taro. However, planting times may vary in different regions. In the southern region, the climate is relatively warm, and the best planting time is generally around April to June in spring. In northern regions, due to lower temperatures, the best planting time may be a little later, around the end of May to mid-June. In addition, the choice of taro variety will also affect the planting time. Some early maturing varieties are suitable for planting in early spring or spring, while some late maturing varieties may require a longer growing period and are better suited to planting in the summer. When planting taro, in addition to considering the time factor, you also need to pay attention to soil selection, germination treatment, and water and fertilizer management. Taro requires loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam, and should be germinated before planting. At the same time, taro also has certain requirements for water and light, and appropriate water and fertilizer management should be carried out according to the growth stage and weather conditions. Notes on taro picking 1. Harvest time Taro can usually be harvested in the frost season. During this period, the leaves of taro turn yellow and the roots dry, and the bulbs are fully mature. The taro yield is high and the quality is excellent. For taro that is kept for seeds, it must be harvested only after it is fully mature. 2. Preparation before harvest Stop irrigation: 20 days before harvest, taro irrigation should be stopped to reduce the water content of taro and facilitate storage and transportation after harvest. Cut off the above-ground part: Before harvesting, cut off the above-ground part of the taro first, and then harvest after the wound dries and heals. This will help reduce the occurrence of diseases. 3. Harvesting method Choose a sunny day: The best time to harvest is on a sunny day after the dew has dried up, to prevent the taro from rotting due to moisture. Dig carefully: Use appropriate tools to dig carefully to avoid damaging the taro and ensure the integrity and appearance quality of the taro. 4. Post-harvest processing Cutting off the taro seeds: After harvesting the taro, the excess taro seeds should be cut off in time to reduce unnecessary weight and moisture. Avoid damage: During the harvesting and transportation process, the taro should be handled with care to avoid damage caused by collision and friction. In summary, the best time to plant taro should be determined according to region, climate and variety selection. During the planting process, attention should also be paid to soil selection, germination treatment, water and fertilizer management to ensure the normal growth and high yield of taro.
