People are joining forces to weigh on giant potatoes. Washington city report
Zhou zhou, a small, local farmer in jane yang, has grown giant potatoes weighing more than 100 pounds for many years, twice his weight this year, and was dragged to the chengdu exhibition。
Sichuan agricultural institute researcher, wang koichi, a leading expert in the field of potato farming in the former sichuan province, said that she had communicated with zhou xianxi on several occasions, but that the elderly were reluctant to speak of the “core technology” of giant sweet potatoes. In his presentation, mr. Wang said that such giant sweet potatoes were not very different from normal sweet potatoes in food and were produced in practice because they were too big to be promoted。
Magnificent potatoes
Five men get in the car
On 30 november, zhou, at the door of the man and jiagu district, asked his wife to get a scale from the house and to re-grave the potato. With the help of two middle-aged men, they tried a few times and finally called the mass of potatoes: 218 pounds
"two months ago, when it was dug up, it was 238 pounds." zhou xianwei said it was normal to reduce weight for six months because of, inter alia, the loss of red potato water。
In addition to attending a large crop exhibition in chengdu, zhou xian hui kept the potato in the yard of the district. He's planning to powder the potatoes in two days, "i'll sell a dollar or two more than the normal pound of powder." it's only a week of pride。
It took more than half an hour for zhou to excavate from the ground, half a month ago, just to excavate the surrounding soil. When all the potatoes came out, zhou was unable to move, and with a lunch, four best friends were hired, and five people put the big guy on the tricycle。
On the day he pulled back to the neighborhood, zhou zhou zhou zaiwei and his friend said, “238 pounds! Zhou xianwei said it was the largest potato he planted, weighing twice his weight。
It is measured by citizens on a roller scale, up to 109 cm and at an altitude of 86 cm。

Expert interpretation
The potato king is valuable
In june this year, zhou zhou zhou zhou zai wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei。
In time, this giant potato is growing for five months, for a total of more than 150 days, and the king grows more than a pound a day. "the maximum can be up to 300 pounds." chow is confident about the speed of growth。
In a doubt, the washington metropolitan newspaper, the cover journalist, consulted with the researcher at the sichuan agricultural institute, wang, the chief expert in the cultivation of crops in the former sichuan province, to attack the potato industry. Wang said a few years ago, after learning that zhou chou had grown giant sweet potatoes, she went to jane yang and zhou to communicate with zhou and had participated in the excavation of the sweet potatoes. “he did not speak of core planting techniques and did not have access to effective information.”
"this is the biggest potato i've ever seen." wang said, "i've never really eaten, i don't know what it tastes like, and theoretically it's not better than normal potatoes."
According to wang, the potato is an infinity crop, but according to the method of cultivation and growth currently available, it can only be produced by extending its growth cycle or by stimulating it. “he is a potato whose growth cycle has not been extended and is in the normal range.”
Does this sweet potato ever use stimulant drugs? "i don't use any chemicals, it's absolutely green." it's only on the chest。
"no tests have been carried out and no conclusions have been drawn." in response to these questions, wang said that the use of the expansion would increase the quality of the potatoes, but the quality would decline。
“this giant sweet potato is of value only in view of its value, its value in food is not strong, and the family eats or chooses ordinary sweet potatoes for its sake.” wang said。
