@amjadsharif Let me take you back a little. A month ago, a lot of weeds were growing in the sweet potato field, which needed to be collected. This was a challenge for me because it required labor, but at the moment, labor was not available.
I contacted two to three labor teams and asked them the price of uprooting the weeds. They agreed with me at Rs. 6,000 per acre, but now we have started to get tired of them so that even the smallest weeds can be uprooted.
During these days, the rains continued and my field was filled with water, from which I tried to drain the water.
When the field was dry, its vines grew a lot. Their length was so long that the vines of sweet Potato had reached the second to third row, which is about seven to eight feet height.
This crop was attacked by caterpillars. You can see traces of them on the leaves. This is the only sign of them. You can guess that now the crop has become a caterpillar and needs to be sprayed. I have applied Suni Mar spray on it. It has benefited a lot. In one of the pictures, you will see a person spraying with the help of a spray machine. When I checked it again after the third to fourth day of spraying, I heard that they had completely disappeared, and now the crop is visible.
I would like to tell you here that my crop has been in operation for one month and 25 days. I have saved its vines from taking new roots twice. Some plants had not taken root and have been uprooted. This is a very laborious task that is not easy to do. We have inspected the sweet potato crop of our friend, which is about two months and 20 days old. We have uprooted this one root and checked whether it has started to produce sweet potatoes or is just giving them to them. But here it can be seen that sweet potatoes have started to produce, and it is hoped that they will produce half a kilo to a quarter kilo of sweet potatoes in the next one to one and a half months.
