How to grow yacon

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It is not very cold-resistant, so the suitable time for planting is around May every year. At the same time, the minimum temperature in the environment should be kept above fifteen degrees. Of course, the best growth temperature is around twenty-five degrees.

2. Watering: To ensure normal growth, the demand for water is relatively high. It needs to be watered in time when it is a seedling, so that it can speed up its growth. At the same time, it also needs to be watered according to the growth period of the plant. When the fruit is about to mature, the amount of water can be increased, which can ensure that the fruit is more hydrated and more tender.

3. Light: Sufficient warm light needs to be provided. Under sufficient light conditions, it will grow faster. At the same time, after absorbing enough light, the fruits of the plant will be larger and the yield will naturally increase. If there is not enough light, the fruits will be smaller and the yield will be regrettable.

4. Fertilization: It is necessary to supplement nutrients and make the soil fertile enough so that relatively strong plants can grow. At the same time, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needs to be reduced, otherwise the plants will grow too tall, the flowering will be very unsatisfactory, and the yield will be affected.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Seedling cultivation is the main method of reproduction. When raising seedlings, choose healthy seeds and then cut them into different small pieces. The weight of each piece needs to be kept at about 30 grams. Each piece needs to have a bud eye. Then you can plant it directly. Pay attention to watering and temperature and wait for germination.

2. Pruning: It does not need pruning because its fruit is ultimately harvested. However, some problems may occur during the cultivation period and will manifest themselves on the branches and leaves, so you can prune them in time.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Black spot will affect its fruit, eventually making it inedible, so wettable powder can be used to prevent and control it.

2. Pests: Cutworms may appear and gnaw on the rhizomes, causing serious consequences to the fruits, so you can use a diluted cypermethrin solution to spray them to completely eliminate them.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic, has high nutritional value and tastes very good.

2. Can it be raised at home? Not suitable. It is usually raised on the ground as a crop.
