1. How longIt usually takes six months from planting to harvesting yam. The plant is usually planted in April and harvested after the first frost. Of course, since it is stored underground, it can easily overwinter and be harvested in the spring of the following year. This plant is rarely propagated by seeds and is usually grown from rhizomes, seeds or reeds. 2. Planting Method1. Rhizome planting: Rhizome propagation is a commonly used propagation method for yam, and it can be used regardless of whether it is planted in the ground or in pots. Cut the harvested yam rhizomes into segments about 10 cm in length. In order to avoid infection of the cut, it is usually necessary to apply wood ash and place it in a ventilated place to dry for 3-5 days. Once the wound has healed, you can plant it in the soil. 2. Planting of bulbils: Bulbs are the bulbils of yam, which usually grow between leaf axils and in large numbers. When the plants are ripe for picking, they can be taken down and collected, left to dry for 2-3 days, and then stored in wooden barrels or sacks, with the temperature controlled at around 5°C. Wait until spring and select those with larger grains and no disease or damage for planting. Generally, it is March in the south and April in the north. After planting, cover with a layer of soil and water appropriately. 3. Reed head planting: The reed head is part of the rhizome of yam, which is the thinnest part. There is a bud on the top, so it can be used for planting. When harvesting, they are usually cut and stored in the sand, and then taken out and planted in April. Generally, it needs to be dried for a few days until the cross section is dry and cracked and the skin turns gray, then soaked in carbendazim, and then it can be planted. Generally, it should be placed horizontally and watered thoroughly after filling the soil. |
