pre-plant Explanation: I am specialized in agriculture and horticulture and actually grow sweet potatoes myself. Here the text must be referring to pre-planting sweet potato slips, because the actual planting is spaced at 60 cm between slips and 100 cm between rows (so not 100 slips per M2!). We produce sweet potato slips (tiny shoots) from a sweet potato on a bed of substrate or suspended in water. One SP will produce at least 10 slips. Some growers let the slips root in jars of water and plant them out in the field directly, I and others pre-plant them in pots or multiple slips in a container, to allow them to establish well before planting in the field or a final growing container. Each slip will produce a few kilos of SPs, so definitely not finally "planted" at 100 per M2> Example sentence(s):
