Planting of yams
The land with normal slope and well drained should be selected for cultivation of this crop. This crop can be grown in the loamy soil on the slopes of the hill. The land should be well cultivated for cultivation. Normally 60 cm. At a distance, the slope of the land should be made at right angles. Konkan Ashwini, Varsha or Shrivardhani varieties should be used for planting. Planting of rainfed crop should be completed in the second fortnight of June.

For planting, select the vines from the top and middle part of the vine. The length of the stalk is 20 to 30 cm. It should have three to four eyes. It takes 800 pieces of vine for one goontha area. When planting, the seedlings should be planted at a height of 25 cm. Apply at a distance. Put a fork in each place. The middle part of the bean should be kept in the ground with evidence and both ends exposed. Care should be taken that the two eyes in the middle of the bean are buried in the soil. Adequate manure should be mixed before sowing and the recommended amount of fertilizer should be given as per soil test at the time of planting. Apply 40 kg N / ha 30 to 40 days after planting.

The first beaning should be done 15 days after planting. The second bean should be done 30 days after planting. At the same time, add a second dose of chemical fertilizers to the vines. Roots sprout from the eyes of vines lying in the ground. In this case, if the top part is rolled up between 45 to 60 days after planting, the roots will not break.

Sweet potato should be harvested about three and a half to four months after planting when the leaves start turning yellow. To see that the yam is ready to be removed, the white yolk that comes out when some yam is cut with a knife, should remain white after drying. If the chickens turn black or green, they are not ready to be removed. About 15 tons of sweet potato is obtained per hectare.
