[Planting methods of wild yam]
The artificial cultivation area of wild yam is small and the yield is low, mainly derived from natural growth. There is great potential for increasing production. Wild yam can also be used for fruit cultivation, suitable for intercropping in orchards, making traditional single-season orchards into double-season orchards.
The reproduction of wild yam is very easy. In practical production, cutting propagation is often used. Generally, the best period for cutting propagation is from early March to early April when the temperature rises. Take 1-year-old branches, 10-15 cm long, and the cutting substrate is not limited, fine sand or loam can be used.
During the seedling period of wild yam, attention should be paid to watering and weeding. It has strong resistance and is suitable for extensive management. After planting, there is no need to change frequently and trim artificially on a regular basis.
