There are many different kinds of sweet potatoes, and each one has its own set of specific nutritional characteristics. In a general sense, sweet potatoes are indigenous to subtropical areas that have conditions of moderate temperature. This particular sweet potato must spend the first half of its life in an environment with an annual rainfall of 110 centimetres and an average temperature range of 25-28 degree Celsius. It takes this plant an average of 120-130 days from the time it is planted until it has completed its life cycle and is ready to be harvested. It is possible to gather the seeds during the time of the blooming process, but those seeds will not be employed in the following planting process. Slips are what are used during the majority of the planting procedure for sweet potatoes almost exclusively. The seeds that were gathered are employed in the process of sprouting after they have been taken from the fruit and collected and then utilised. After a certain amount of time has elapsed, these sprouts will either be transplanted or transferred 7]. Sweet potatoes are known to be susceptible to a variety of abiotic elements such as heat, soil salinity, drought, and cold temperatures throughout their extremely short life cycles. All of these abiotic conditions lead plants to generate lesser yields in the form of tubers.
