When is the best time to shoot cold potatoes, and when is the best time to plant cold potatoes

Cool potato, also known as sweet potato, sweet potato, rasa fruit, radish, peel potato, kudzu potato, etc., is a more common herbaceous vine in our country, because of rich nutrition, and sweet potato as high yield, and is widely cultivated, when is the cool potato (sweet potato) planted? When will it be available? How much is a pound in general?

How? Planting time: Generally, the fleshy roots can be harvested after 5 to 6 months after sowing, the early and medium hot varieties in the Yangtze River basin are harvested in September, and the medium and late maturing varieties are harvested from late October to early November.

In other words, it can be planted in April-May.

Market time: Cool potatoes ripen at the end of autumn. There are two kinds of cold potatoes, early and late ripening, so their ripening period is very long, almost from early September to mid to late November, there are fresh cold potatoes, cold potatoes generally start to grow underground tubers 4 months after planting, but the longer they stay underground, the heavier the moisture, and the sweeter the taste.

Cool potato, also known as jicama, is a grassy vine of the genus of legume jicama, with huge tubers, the tubers are oblate-spherical, with a diameter of about 20 30cm, also known as cold potatoes, sweet potatoes, kudzu, etc., the flesh is crunchy, juicy and sweet, and it can be eaten as fruits or vegetables.

At present, the market purchase of cold potatoes is in Yuan Kilogram, and the market price is about between Yuan Kilogram, so it is not very expensive, but because it is different in various places, it is necessary to go to the local area to inquire.

Growth cycle: Cool potatoes have a long growing period and take 5 to 7 months to harvest. There are four periods of growth:

Germination: Sowing to the first pair of true leaves.

Seedling stage: the first pair of true leaves to the occurrence of 6 7 compound leaves and several lateral roots.

Tree stage: the stems and leaves grow rapidly, and the tubers begin to form.

Tuber stage: The tubers expand rapidly, about 60 days.

It is cultivated more in Sichuan, Chongqing, Lianghu and Liangguang in southern China.

Planting techniques: 1. Dig holes. Sweet potatoes require a larger field than other horticultural vegetables. Each hole is 30-60 apartCentimeter. The depth is 3 cm above the base of the plant to the base of the tuber.

2. Planting. Place the sweet potato seedlings one by one in a pre-dug hole and cover the stems with about a centimeter of soil. The leaves of sweet potatoes will grow vines outward, while the roots will grow tubers at a depth of 15-30 cm in the soil.

3. Cover the film. Protect your sweet potatoes in cold weather by covering them with a film. This will also help stop weeds from growing and prevent sweet potato vines from overgrowing, robbing the tubers of nutrients.

4. Watering. When sweet potatoes are first planted, they need a lot of water. Over time, you should water them less until later only about once a week. Start watering daily, then reduce the number of waterings week by week.

5. Wait for the tuber to grow. Sweet potatoes require a relatively long growing period, and they don't ripen for harvest until early fall (which happens to coincide with Thanksgiving). Continue to water and weed every week to allow the plants to grow healthily.

6. Harvest sweet potatoes. Around 120 days after planting, sweet potatoes should have reached full maturity. If possible, postpone harvesting the sweet potatoes as much as possible (before frosting), as this will produce larger and tastier tubers.

7. Sweet potatoes after harvesting.

The best time to tip the cold potato is when the vine grows to about 1 meter, and the specific time is feasible throughout the growth period of the cold potato, but it is best around August. When tipping, the top growth point should be removed to promote the germination of side buds, and then leave 3-4 leaves to tip again, and repeat the tip 2-3 times.

The general cold potatoes are planted in the month, the early-maturing cold potatoes can be dug up and eaten in the month, the medium-ripening ones are generally in the month, that is, our most common autumn variety, and of course, there is a kind of late-maturing one that can only be eaten in the month. Therefore, the planting time is all months, but the ripening time is different depending on the region.

Cultivation method: 1. Land selection: cold potatoes are suitable for planting in land with loose soil, good ventilation and drainage functions, and planting in land with heavy clay soil that is not conducive to drainage will lead to cold potatoes during the maturity period of cold potatoes, and the cold potatoes you see may only be the size of your little thumb.

2. Planting method: directly in the dug ground according to a certain interval (25-50 cm) every so far to sprinkle seeds, cover with film or sprinkle a layer of moss to cover up the seeds, the second way is to directly according to the rows of crawling seeds, each row of seeds do not scatter too much, the same way to cover the seeds.

3. Field management: After the germination of the cold potato, it is found that there are seedlings, then it is necessary to replenish the seedlings in time, and carry out the second application of water-soluble fertilizer when the cold potato seedlings grow to 5-10 cm, and there are weeds in the field while fertilizing, because the growth direction of the cool potato vines is different, so we should guide them to grow in one direction in order to find the source when harvesting.

Moreover, the cold potato vine should be plucked and flowered in time to prevent it from growing too long and consuming nutrients, so that the cold potatoes are very fresh and tender.

2. Planting. Place the sweet potato seedlings one by one in a pre-dug hole and cover the stems with about centimeter* soil. The leaves of sweet potatoes will grow vines outward, while the roots will grow tubers at a depth of 15 to 30 centimeters.

Cold potatoes are best planted in a few months.

I'm glad to answer the following questions for you: 1. When is cold potato suitable for planting? Kiss <>

Generally, the fleshy roots can be harvested after 5 to 6 months after sowing, the early and medium hot varieties are harvested in September, and the medium and late maturing varieties are harvested from late October to early November. In other words, it can be planted in April-May. Second, the specific steps of planting cold potatoes 1, digging holes sweet potatoes require a larger field than other horticultural vegetables.

Each hole is 30-60 apartCentimeter. The depth is 3 cm above the base of the plant to the root of the tuber.

2. Planting: Place the sweet potato seedlings in the holes dug in advance one by one, and cover the stems with about centimeter* soil. The leaves of the sweet potato will grow vines from the outside, and the roots will grow tubers at a depth of 15 to 30 centimeters.

3. Cover the film to protect your sweet potatoes in cold weather by covering them with a film. This will also help to stop weeds and prevent overgrowth of sweet potato vines, which can rob the tubers of nutrient collapse. 4. Watering sweet potatoes requires a lot of water when they are just planted.

Reunion Dan Over time, you should water them less until later only about once a week. Start watering daily, then reduce the number of waterings week by week. 5. Waiting for the tubers to grow sweet potatoes requires a relatively long growth period, and they will not mature and harvest until early autumn (which happens to coincide with Thanksgiving).

Continue to water and weed every week to allow the plants to grow healthily.
