Abstract: Ipomoea batatas is a kind of sprawl herb with root tuber underground, and also an important kind of upland crop in China which is originated from tropical Central America. It has many varieties for fresh eating, vegetable use and ornamental. The application of soilless culture technique on sweet potato cultivation is more and more extensive with its progressive development. This paper summarizes the research progress and achievements on the construction of sweet potato soilless culture system, including research contents related to sweet potato hydroponics and its pattern at home and abroad. It also expounds the application of soilless culture system on sweet potato breeding, multiplication, production and afforestation. Some existing problems in sweet potato soilless culture system are put forward and its development is prospected.
