See step-by-step instructions; potatoes take root very quickly. Sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam.)) are native to Central and South America. Their roots are rich in sugars that help maintain stable blood sugar levels, offering numerous benefits to the body. They also contain minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium, as well as vitamins A, D, C, B12, and B6. The ideal planting season is late winter or early spring, but they are generally grown year-round. Sweet potato planting should be spaced 80 to 100 centimeters between rows and 25 to 40 centimeters between plants. Fertile soils with good organic fertilizer and good drainage ensure healthy root and tuber development. The roots should be harvested when they reach approximately 300g. Under ideal growing conditions, harvesting generally occurs between 120 and 150 days. One of the main indicators that sweet potatoes are ready to be harvested is the yellowish color of the vines, rather than the predominant green color. Harvesting should be done by test digging a few potatoes from several furrows to check the potatoes. -The main pests of the aboveground part of potatoes are: leafhoppers, donkeys, fleas, moths, aphids, leaf miners, and mites. The main pests, considered key pests, are the root borers (Euscepes postfasciatus, Coleoptera, Curculionidae) and the stem borers (Megastes pusialis, Lepidoptera, Pyralidae). These occur more frequently and generally cause severe damage if control measures are not taken. Repellents and organic insecticides are recommended: Neem oil, tobacco spray, and castor oil spray. Reform the furrows, closing and covering cracks in the soil, which form due to the lateral growth of tuberous roots. This prevents insects from directly accessing the potatoes, which increases the level of damage. Thank you for your presence here. Subscribe to the Channel; you are always welcome!
