Abstract: Amorphophallus bulbifer originated from the lower layer of tropical rain forest. It has high temperature and humidity resistance, high reproductive coefficient and strong disease resistance. The climate in the southern part of Sichuan province is more suitable for the growth of Amorphophallus bulbifer. However, since konjac is a perennial herbaceous plant and most of them are asexualreproduction, so it is easy to be infected by diseases and insect pests during the growth process. In this study, the cultivation techniques of Amorphophallus bulbifer in Muchuan county, and the symptoms of soft rot, white silk disease, common insect pests such as moths and aphids, as well as the integrated control methods were summarized. This study aims to help konjac growers in the areas with similar environmental conditions asin Southern Sichuan to improve the level of planting techniques, scientifically and effectively prevent and control diseases and insect pests, improve the yield and quality of konjac bulbs, and achieve better economic benefits.
