Practical cultivation techniques of konjac with high quality,light weight and high efficiency
Konjac is mainly planted in Yunnan,Guizhou,Sichuan and Chongqing regions of our country and the remote mountainous areas of neighboring Hubei and Shaanxi provinces.The area of cultivated land is small,the terrain is com-plex,and some problems exist,such as extensive cultivation management,low mechanization application rate,more la-bor,and high production cost.It is of great significance in improving the efficiency of labor production and reducing the light degree of labor force,which integrated rotary tiller land preparation,ridging machine ridging,plastic film mulching machine,manual fertilizer applicator in konjac production process mechanization.At the same time,by covering 3-5 cm soil on the 5-10 μm thick plastic film,konjac can drill out of the film naturally,eliminating the membrane breaking and the later weeding process,and reducing the labor cost greatly,making the labor force from the original 20 workers reduced to about 10 workers in 667 m2.
