When does the potato blossom?

About 3 months, but the potato planting time in different regions is different, and the harvest time is naturally different.

1 It is generally planted in spring (from mid-late April to early May) and harvested in autumn in northeast and northwest regions such as Gansu and Qinghai. Usually, potatoes can only be planted for one season a year, which is called one-season planting areas in the north and northwest.

Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei and other provinces and regions plant two crops a year. Among them, spring potatoes were sown in February and March and harvested in June and July in Central Plains areas such as Shandong and Hebei. Sow autumn potatoes in August, and harvest in early October at10-165438+/kloc-0; Spring potatoes were sown in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other central and southern provinces in 5438+0-February and harvested in May-June; Sow in September and harvest in February. These areas are called central plains and south-central planting areas.

Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places can plant one-season potatoes in the gap between rice harvest in autumn. Generally, it is sown in the middle and late June of 65438+1October-165438+1October, and harvested in February and March of the following year. Because the growing season is mostly in winter, these areas are usually called southern winter agricultural areas.

The history of potatoes

Potato (Solanum tuberosum, English: potato) belongs to Solanum, Panicum, also known as sweet potato and potato. The artificial cultivation of potatoes can be traced back to 8000 BC to 5000 BC in southern Peru. Native to Peru and Chile in the Andes of South America. Lake Titicaca, 3800 meters above the Andes, may be the earliest place to grow potatoes. About 7000 years ago, an Indian tribe migrated from the east to the Andes in the Alps, camped near Lake Titicaca and made a living by hunting and gathering. They were the first people to find and eat wild potatoes.

The most important potato variety is tetraploid. Tetraploid potatoes are found all over the world. At first, 1570 was introduced from Colombia in South America to Spain in Europe. After artificial selection, it became a long-term type.

/kloc-In the middle of the 6th century, a Spanish colonist brought potatoes from South America to Europe. At that time, people always appreciated the beauty of its flowers and used it as an ornament.

1586, the British defeated the Spanish in the Caribbean, collected tobacco and other plant seeds from South America, and brought potatoes to Britain. The climate in Britain is suitable for the growth of potatoes, which are taller and easier to manage than other grains.

Later, a French agronomist, Ann Obamanqi, discovered through long-term observation and personal practice that potatoes can not only be eaten, but also be made into bread. Since then, French farmers have begun to grow potatoes on a large scale.

1650, potato has become the main food crop in Ireland, and began to spread in Europe.

In17th century, potato has become an important food crop in Europe and was introduced to China. Because potato is very suitable for growing in the alpine region where the original grain yield is extremely low and only naked oats can be planted, it has spread rapidly in Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shanxi and northwestern Shaanxi. High-yield crops such as potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes imported from the United States have become the main food for the poor and played an important role in maintaining the rapid population growth in China.

17 19 was brought back to the United States by Irish immigrants and began to grow in the United States.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 0/8th century, when Peter the Great traveled in Europe, he bought a bag of potatoes with a large sum of money and planted them in the palace garden, which gradually developed into folk cultivation.
