Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural planting technology, specifically relating to a method for planting Chinese yam. Background Technology
[0002] Dioscorea opposita, also known as Chinese yam, is a twining herbaceous vine belonging to the Dioscoreaceae family and the Dioscorea genus. Its tubers are oblong-cylindrical, growing vertically and reaching over 1 meter in length; the dried section is white. The stems are typically purplish-red, dextral, and hairless. It grows mostly in shady mountainous areas and has medicinal uses; it has a pleasant taste.
[0003] In the cultivation of Chinese yam, pests and diseases are the main factors affecting the final yield. Therefore, growers need to frequently apply pesticides to avoid impacting economic benefits. Currently, the main method for controlling above-ground pests and diseases in Chinese yam is spraying pesticides, which results in large amounts of pesticide residues and reduces the safety of the yams. Underground pests of Chinese yam include grubs, cutworms, and wireworms. These pests damage the yams, rendering them unsellable and causing significant economic losses. Controlling these pests requires adding soil-specific pesticides such as Shennongdan to the soil before planting, further exacerbating the pesticide residue problem.
[0004] One step in planting Chinese yam involves drilling holes and filling them with filler. Currently, materials such as maifanite, vermiculite, rice husks, sawdust, and peanut shell powder are commonly used to provide the seed potatoes with the loose environment and nutrients needed for germination. However, these fillers can also easily attract grubs, cutworms, wireworms, etc., causing the seed potatoes to be damaged before they grow into plants, resulting in plant death or deformed growth and affecting yield. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for cultivating Chinese yam.
[0006] A method for cultivating Chinese yam, following these steps: (1) Level the ground and drill holes downwards in a direction perpendicular to the ground to obtain a cavity; (2) The composite mineral material is filled into the cavity to obtain a filled cavity; (3) Plant the seed potatoes of the Chinese yam in the filling holes; (4) Conduct field management until the yam is harvested.
[0007] The spacing between holes in each row is 15-20cm, the diameter of each hole is 5-10cm, and the depth of each hole is 1.2-2m.
[0008] The composite mineral material is a mixture of ginger stone and calcined serpentine in a mass ratio of 5:1; the ginger stone is crushed into fragments with a particle size of 0.5-3.0 mm, and the calcined serpentine is 60-80 mesh powder.
[0009] The preparation method of the calcined serpentine is as follows: Take 80-120 parts of serpentine, 40-60 parts of limestone, 1-3 parts of aluminum ash, and 1-3 parts of iron filings according to the weight ratio, mix them evenly and put them into a kiln, calcining them at 1000-1500℃ for 1-3 hours. After discharge, send them to a vertical mill and select 60-80 mesh powder material after vertical milling.
[0010] The seed potatoes of the Chinese yam are 6-9cm in length. Before planting, the seed potatoes are soaked in a diluted solution of abamectin emulsifiable concentrate for 8-12 minutes.
[0011] The abamectin emulsifiable concentrate contains 5% abamectin by mass concentration and is diluted 100 times.
[0012] The field management includes setting up trellises, which are made of bamboo poles or wire mesh, with a height of 1.5-2.0m.
[0013] The field management includes weeding. After the trellis is erected, spray 120 ml / mu of 90% acetochlor diluted in 40 kg of water on the ridge surface.
[0014] The field management includes topdressing. After the seedlings emerge uniformly, topdressing should begin in mid-to-late June. The topdressing requires a compound fertilizer of 20wt% nitrogen, 15wt% potassium, and 5wt% phosphorus, applied every 30 days at a rate of 20kg / mu each time, until mid-to-late September.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the yam planted by the method of the present invention does not require the addition of soil pesticides before termination, which is environmentally friendly and leaves no pesticide residues. The combination of ginger stone and calcined serpentine as filler for seed potato planting has a certain effect on preventing and controlling soil pests. Detailed Implementation
