Garden greetings, I hope you are healthy and happy friends. Thank you #Agriculturmindset by , at this time I tried to share the experience of cultivating Talas (Taro) plant.
Talas(Taro) plant is the result of which can be processed into food product, such as pastries, chip,taro flour,snack and other food products. I planted talas(taro) on a small area of land and planted taro on the side lines of the Sengon wood.
The firts Talas(taro) plant on vacant land and is now one month old, the talas plant between the Jengjeng trees is the talas(taro) that I just planted.
What is done first is clearing the land of exicting weeds, then preparing the hole by digging about 15x15 centimeters. The next step is Talas(taro) seeds, talas seeds are taken from talas that is already large.
The shoots are taken, before planting the Talas seeds. The holes are given organic fertilizee from goat nature. Then the talas is planted in an upright position, the excated soil is back filled, then given asked from rice straw.
With the aim of keeping caterpillars and other pests at by, planting with a distance of about 50 to 100 centimeters. The talas(taro) that is planted is of the glutinous talas type which later results are a bit sticky.
Plant talas in the day season,so every morning and evening the talas plant is watered with water. Talas(taro) can be harvested at the age of about 4 to 5 months.
Maintenance of talas plants is the some as other plants, cleaning from pests, then the triming the stems of the talas(taro) leaves into 3 to leaves. Planting talas is not so difficult,but still maintained so that the results are good.
Thank you very much and hope it's useful.
