Potatoes, a crop known as “red thaws”, not only are rich in nutrients, but also have a significant place in our food and cash crops because of their drought-resistant, infertile, adaptive and high yield. In the 1980s and 1990s, there was a proliferation of “seasons of food for six months”, which is a profound testimony to the outstanding contribution of the sweet potatoes in addressing the problems of subsistence for farmers. However, despite the widespread cultivation of sweet potatoes in the south and north of the country, many farmers still face problems with small amounts of potatoes and chips during cultivation, often associated with inappropriate cultivation patterns. On this basis, this paper, which combines practical production experience, will reveal to you the “know-how” of five sweet potatoes, which will help you to achieve high-yield, high-quality planting goals。
The charade of cedar cultivation
1. Increased production of yams
This sentence means that, when planting potatoes, the seedlings should be planted in the soil, rather than onions. This cross-cutting approach can significantly increase the production of potatoes。
Why is it so much more productive? This is mainly due to the ability of each of the truncheons to produce potatoes. The length of cross-croped seedlings, compared to vertically or tilted, has increased significantly, thus increasing the quantity of potatoes and thus their production。
In transplanting, we need to cut the cassava seedlings to a length of about 20 to 25 centimetres and to ensure that the soil is contained between 4 and 5. Over-deepness may lead to excessive and small amounts of potatoes, which may be insufficient. At the same time, the depth of the burial should be kept between 5 and 7 centimetres in order to ensure that the three leaves on the top are successfully carried out and surfaced。
Although seedlings of red potatoes can be planted in many ways, “basket-type interpolation” is a very effective method based on practical experience. Such an approach would not only produce more chips for the potatoes, but would also increase the size of each. “... The bottom-of-boat plug-in method, which is used to place red potato seedlings in “u-shaped” soil, not only enhances the drought resistance of red potato seedlings, but also enhances the layered cassava distribution of the roots, thereby significantly increasing production per unit area. This method is used to plant sweet potatoes, which are generally contained between 25 and 30 cm in length。
2. Benefits of high-strength cultivation
Potatoes, a drought-resistant and flood-resisting crop, can produce larger chips under high-plant cultivation. Overwhelming the soil not only results in the growing of red potatoes, which affect potatoes, but also causes problems of bad root and hence production. High-strength cultivation can be effective in avoiding these problems, not only by raising the temperature of the soil, day and night, and by promoting the accumulation of organic matter, but also by creating a more appropriate environment for the growth of sweet potatoes, thereby increasing their yields and quality。
3. Turning vines into chickens
During the growth of the potato, its vines produce numerous “uncertain roots”, which extract water and nutrients from the soil, thereby contributing to the growth of the leaves, but this also often leads to excessive growth of the yams. In order to increase the concentration of nutrients in the main roots, which will contribute to the full expansion of the troughs, we can take measures to destroy these uncertain roots。
In the past, this has often been achieved using the “trawling” approach, but the operation of the toads can easily lead to the flipping of red potato blades, affecting light cooperation. In addition, it takes four to five days for the plant to recover each time, and if it is repeated twice to three times, it will cause the potato to grow intermittently for 10 to 15 days, thereby affecting the growth of its underground tubers。
Therefore, we could replace the word “trawling” with the word “cangled”. When it comes to chicken, it is only necessary to lift the potato vine and lower it gently, so that it is not susceptible to damage to the troughs and leaves of the potato, and is easy to do so, contributing more to its high yield。
Elements of sound fertilization
Potassium, as a potassium crop, plays a key role in the synthesis and transport of photocooperative products, while also contributing to the expansion of chips. Therefore, when applying to fertilizers, it should be primarily potassium fertilizer, avoiding excessive preference for nitrogen fertilizer. Excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer leads to overgrowth of plants, which significantly reduces the production of sweet potatoes. As the saying goes, "a piece of potatoes, a piece of ash, a pile of potatoes." this illustrates the importance of grass-wood ash in the cultivation of potatoes. Grasswood ash not only improves the soil structure, but is also rich in potassium elements and can be used as bottom fertilizer. When the soil is cracked, rooting can be used with grass-grass leachate, which can contribute to the further expansion of the chips。
At the same time, care needs to be taken to avoid the application of “chlorine”-containing fertilizers. Chloroion interferes with the synthesis and transport of starch, leading to high levels of chlorine ion in soil, which in turn seriously affects the production and taste of potatoes. Therefore, during fertilization, potassium sulphate should be selected instead of potassium chloride to ensure healthy growth and high production of potatoes。
5. Timing of harvests
The timing of the pick-up of potatoes is critical to their production and quality. If harvest is premature, potato chips may not be fully mature, leading to lower yields, while late harvests may expose the potato to freezing risks. As the saying goes, "it's early, it's late, it's late, it's time for the cream to come down." this shows that frostfall times are the best time to harvest potatoes. At this time, the average daily temperature in most parts of the country has stabilized at 10-15°c, suitable for the growth and maturity of the sweet potatoes. Thus, the harvesting of sweet potatoes at this time ensures that the chips are fully expanded, thereby increasing production and quality. If they wait for winter seasons to harvest, underground chips may be frozen, affecting their consumption and storage。
In conclusion, the high production of sweet potatoes is not difficult and, with the five key points mentioned above, it is possible to ensure a large and productive harvest。
