Preliminary Study on Culture Techniques of Sweet Potato for Fresh Food Covered with Rice Straw in Whole Course on Hilly Red Soil Upland
Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: The field experimental results indicated that when sweet potato for fresh food was planted on hilly red soil dry land,covering with rice straw in whole course could make the plants survive,was helpful to the formation and enlargement of tubers,could obviously improve the appearance quality and yield of tubers,and the tubers could form in the rice straw layer.The effect of covering with both rice straw and nutrient soil was the best,in this treatment,the yield of sweet potato was 30565.5 kg/hm2,being 27.85% higher than that of the check,and the survival rate of sweet potato seedlings reached 96.19%.In comparison with the check,covering with rice straw plus transplanting seedlings into the soil could promote the growth and development of sweet potato.
