Abstract:

Taro is a characteristic cash crop in Jiangsu Province, and the planting scale in northern Jiangsu is gradually expanding, but the research on photovoltaic taro planting has not yet been reported. In this experiment, green bud taro was planted in the open space between photovoltaic panels, and the growth and development, product yield, cost-effectiveness, light and temperature environmental factors were compared with those of conventional taro planting in the open field. The results showed that taro planting could be carried out between photovoltaic array panels in northern Jiangsu, and the taro seedling emergence rate was higher, and the vegetative growth was stronger, which could significantly increase the number of cormels and taro yields, and the economic benefits were better. Therefore, the development of photovoltaic taro industry in northern Jiangsu has good promotion value and application prospects.

Key words: Northern Jiangsu, photovoltaic, taro, growth and development
