How to Prepare Sweet Potato Slips

Sweet potatoes may appear similar to regular potatoes, but unlike regular potatoes which grow best in a cooler environment, sweet potatoes do better in the heat.  The perfect time to transplant sweet potato vine is during mid-spring to early summer, as warmer soil and stable temperatures promote healthy growth.

Sweet potatoes aren’t grown fro seeds. They are grown from slips, which are a rooted portion of a mature sweet potato. To obtain a sweet potato slip, cut a sweet potato in half lengthwise and bury each half in damp potting soil. Keep the slips moist and warm, and shoots should sprout within a few days. Leaves will follow the shoots.

However, the slips still aren’t ready to plant into the garden until approximately six weeks after they sprout. Shoots should be between 4 and 8 inches tall before they’re transplanted outside.

When planting your slips, don’t opt for a normal sweet potato from the grocery store. Purchase sweet potatoes form a seed distributer so you know they are free of disease.

When the shoots are old enough, transplant them to the field. Since sweet potatoes like it warm, plant the transplants in raised rows, which are usually about 8 inches higher than ground level. This allows the soil to warm quicker early in the season, and raised rows helps the sweet potatoes stay well-drained. To assist in warming the soil even more, spread black plastic along the raised rows. Black plastic should be spread along the rows up to three weeks before planting the sweet potatoes so the soil has plenty of time to warm up

Transplant Sweet Potato Slip Rightly with high efficient HUAYO AGRO Sweet Potato Planter

At  present,  the  Sweet  Potato Transplanting  machines  are  mostly  transformed  from  general agricultural  transplanting  machinery,  and  their  transplanting methods are mainly vertical or oblique transplanting.  Besides, these machines  either  cannot  be  used  on  mulch  film  or  lead  to  huge damage  to  mulch  film.  Compared  with  vertical  and  oblique planting,  horizontal  planting  could  harvest  higher commodity  rate (uniformity of sweet potato sizes) and more tubers per plant.

Therefore, We design HYZSP-2 Sweet Potato Seedling Transplanter  with  side  insertion  horizontal  transplanting  on  mulch  film.   It could  not  only  keep  the  soil  warm  and moist restraining the infestation of pests and weeds, but also achieve dense planting of sweet potato seedlings,  which boosts the yield and ensures the uniformity of sweet potato sizes. These best meets the agronomic  needs of sweet  potato  transplanting.

Transplanting Claw: According  to  the movement characteristics of the crank rocker, it designs the transplanting  claw  to  be  fixedly  connected  to  the  driven  rod  to realize  the  horizontal  transplanting  of  sweet  potato  seedlings.

Advantages 

1. Depth Control:  Sweet potato seedling transplanters are equipped with mechanisms to control the depth at which seedlings are planted. Ensuring the correct planting depth is crucial for optimal growth.

       2. Tractor Attachment:  Sweet potato seedling transplanters are commonly attached to tractors. They can be towed behind the tractor or mounted directly on it, allowing for easy transportation between fields.

      3. Operator Controls:  The transplanter is operated by a person who oversees the planting process. Controls may include levers, buttons, or a console for adjusting settings and ensuring proper operation.

      4. Efficiency and Labor Savings:  Using a sweet potato seedling transplanter can significantly reduce the manual labor required for transplanting seedlings, leading to increased efficiency and cost savings.

      5.  Adaptability:  Transplanters are designed to be adaptable to different field conditions, soil types, and types of sweet potato varieties. This makes them versatile for use in various agricultural settings.

     6.  Durability:   Given the demanding conditions of agricultural work, sweet potato seedling transplanters are built to be durable and withstand the rigors of field use.
