How much profit can you make growing one mu of sweet potatoes?

The sweet potato is a food we often see in daily life. Because it is rich in fiber and can be eaten as a coarse grain, it is favored by many people. At the same time, its leaves and stems can both be used, so it can be said to be a treasure from head to toe. Then what is the profit from one mu of sweet potatoes?

The cost calculation and income profit for growing purple sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes on one mu of land are as follows:

The annual rent for one mu of land is estimated at 1200 yuan (the rent is estimated according to the specific location; this is just an example). Whether purple sweet potatoes or sweet potatoes, seedlings are raised in March and cuttings are planted in April. To grow sweet potatoes, no fertilizer is needed. Use the land where Hongshan caitai, large radishes, and Chinese cabbage were harvested in the previous season, plow it, spread cake fertilizer and chicken manure, and then form ridges for later use. By mid-April, cut the sweet potato vines diagonally into 4-5 cun lengths and soak them in hb-101 vitality solution diluted 1000 times for 30 minutes, then insert them into the ridges at a spacing of one chi and a depth of 2-3 cun, then water and finish. Because they have been soaked in hb-101 vitality solution, the survival rate is extremely high.

Within one week after planting the cuttings, water must be given every afternoon or evening to ensure survival. If the cuttings are planted before and during rain, all the later trouble is avoided.

During the first 15 days of growth, bring scissors to check whether there are dead seedlings. If there are, cut vines from other well-growing plants and plant them as replacements. When the sweet potato vines grow to about one meter, the vines must be turned frequently, otherwise the root nodes of each vine section will take root in the soil and grow into small sweet potatoes; too many of them will affect the growth of the main vine's sweet potatoes, and as a result none of them will grow large.

If it does not rain, water once every 7-8 days, and also spray hb-101 vitality solution once to activate plant cells and promote photosynthesis.

Counting from the planting of the sweet potato cuttings, after three and a half months, that is, in August, the sweet potatoes can be dug. One mu of land can harvest about 5000 jin of sweet potatoes, or about 3500 jin of purple sweet potatoes.

Cost calculation:

1. 5000 jin of sweet potatoes, at one yuan per jin = 5000 yuan;

2. Annual rent for one mu of land is 1200 yuan, that is, 100 yuan per month, and using the land for four months = 400 yuan.

3. 40 jin of chicken manure for 60 yuan, 40 jin of cake fertilizer for 70 yuan, and hb-101 vitality solution sprayed 12 times in total for 240 yuan, totaling 370 yuan.

4. Labor costs can be left out if you do the work yourself; if you hire someone to watch over and water, it costs 1000 yuan per month.

The above total, including 30 yuan for buying sweet potato seed, is: 4800 yuan; if labor costs of 4000 yuan and hb-101 vitality solution of 240 yuan are left out, the production cost of one mu of sweet potato land is 560 yuan.

1. Sweet potatoes 5000 yuan - production cost 4800 yuan leaves 200 yuan.

2. Leaving out labor costs + hb-101 vitality solution cost:

Sweet potatoes 5000 yuan - production cost 560 yuan leaves 4440 yuan.

Income profit from sweet potatoes:

The yield per mu can reach 2000~3000 kg, and can reach more than 5000 kg at the high end. Calculated at a wholesale price of 8 mao to 1 yuan per jin, one mu can earn from 2000 yuan to 2500 yuan, and after deducting fertilizer and other costs, about 2000 yuan per mu.
