The planting season and method of yacon, can the fruit germinate?

1. Time

Yacon is usually planted in spring, and the temperature during planting is best between 20-26℃. Such a climate environment is more conducive to its growth. Under normal circumstances, the latest time should not exceed April, which means that planting should be completed before the end of April. If its growing environment is warm, it can be done in advance.

2. Methods

1. Soil: When planting yacon, you should use finer and looser soil to allow its roots to grow and expand fully. The soil should be deep, fertile, and well-drained.

2. Seedlings: Before planting, you should first select relatively smooth seedlings without mold spots. Each seedling should have 1-2 buds on it. If there is a cut on it, apply wood ash on it, or disinfect it with carbendazim and potassium permanganate.

3. Planting: Plant the treated seedlings into the soil and cover them with soil. Finally, cover it with straw or plastic film to better retain moisture. But be careful not to allow water stains in the soil.

3. Can the fruit germinate?

The fruit of yacon can germinate, which means it can be planted as seeds. But if the fruit has gone bad or moldy, don't plant it.
