Sweet Potato production is a long and

labor intensive operation.

Transplanting

Sweet potato slips are planted into the fields using specialized equipment that

creates a slot, drops the plant into the ground, waters it, they pushes the soil

back in place, all in one operation. Trans planters use a lot of water-often asmuch as 2,000 gallons per acre. Sweet potatoes need light (sandy), well

drained soil for best production.

Irrigation

In California, most sweet potatoes are furrow

irrigated, but about one-third of the

production acres use drip irrigation. This

technique applies water very uniformly and

allows the farmer to also apply fertilizer

during the growing season.


7/12

Harvest

Usually starting 100 to 130 days after

transplanting, the crop is harvested using

specialized digging equipment. Tractors pull

large harvesters that lift the sweet potatoes

out of the ground, and then move them along

a conveyor belt, where they are sorted byhand and placed into bins.


8/12

StorageNormally sweet potatoes are

stored in large shed at about

60 F and 85% relativehumidity . This temperature

helps so the crop is available

year round.

Marketing Most California sweet potatoes

are sold for the fresh market,

predominantly in the WesternU.S. Most are consumed on

major holidays, but the delicious

sweet potato can be served and

enjoyed at any time of the year.
