When is yam planted?

1. Planting time

Yams are generally planted in spring, mostly in mid-to-late March. At this time, the temperature is gradually rising, which is conducive to the growth of seedlings. There is also a small amount of rainfall, which provides a warm and humid environment. The high temperature in summer is not conducive to its growth, while the seedlings are easily frozen in winter.

2. How to plant

1. Select the reed head: The germination rate of yam seeds is very low, and they are generally planted with the reed head, which is the section with buds on the top of the tuber. In order to improve the survival rate, the reed heads should be selected with full buds and free of pests and diseases, and the cut length should be about 20 cm.

2. Storage: The reed heads are usually picked in October, but they have to wait until spring to be planted, so they have to be stored first. Put the reed head in the sun for two days. After the wound heals, you can dig a hole and bury it. Make sure it will not freeze in winter, otherwise it will affect its survival.

3. Planting: After the spring, dig out the stored reed heads and choose soil that is deep, loose and fertile. Bury the reed head in the soil, then turn it over deeply and water it sufficiently. To keep it moist, you can cover it with mulch, which will speed up germination.
