How to plant yam can be done in the following way:
Seeds prepare Bengkoang
Yam seed can be obtained from the fruit pods, but you should really plan for breeding. Because the pod is obtained from plants bengkoang flowering and fruiting, if you intend to take the flowers yam yam should be trimmed. If not trimmed flowers, bengkoang will not come out the yam (root only).
Therefore prepare yam that grows lush trees and a nice tree, let it blossom and bear fruit if it is intended as seed pods. and prune flowering plants yam yam if you want to retrieve.
Select seed pods that are old (the pods had dark brown skin), open the skin and drying yam seeds for a day. If you want to use in the long term, do not open the pod shell. Enough drying with the skin.
Land prepare Planting
Preparing land should really be considered the level of the soil friability, because yam can grow well only in the loose soil. Yam yam development will be very good at containing sandy soil type. To prepare the planting area is good for the growth of yam, do the crumble by using a hoe or plow.
Make moor extends to the size of a width of 1 meter, spread manure or compost on land prepared, stirring, stirring. After all has been made moor land area (dike), the next step is to plant seed yam.
Planting Seed Yam
Yam planting is done by making a hole with a sharpened wooden stick (drill) with a distance of 20-30 cm between plants. Enter yam seedlings of 1-2 seeds per hole. and closed by pressing the soil slowly. Bengkoang plants will grow and of running around the age of 2 weeks.
Yam plant care
Bengkoang plants that have grown and spread to be diligent in cutting leaf on every plant bengkoang. it is intended that yam yam can grow. The first cutting is usually done at the age of 1 month, and forwarded regularly every 1 month.
At the beginning of the planting if the weather does not rain, do the watering regularly morning and evening. However, if the rainy season does not need to be watered also not okay, because bengkoang plants resistant to low water conditions.
Make fertilization at the age of 3 weeks treading plant, fertilizer used is manure. sought-husk husks that have to be food for the plant yam.
Weeding weeds should also be routinely done in order not to interfere with the growth of yam. Pest control should also be stiffened so that the growth of yam fertile.
Harvesting yam
Bengkoang that will either be harvested at 5 months of age, and the results are said to be successful harvest will produce as much as 7-9 tons per hectare. Then the income can be seen 9 tons multiplied by the price per kilo.
Yam cultivation is very promising not, of course, to be considered is the correct way to plant yam, yam treatment method, and fertilizing. Besides the rich benefits yam turns out to be a solution for agriculture.
