Hey, you guys want to grow potatoes! Let's talk about the most basic methods. First you have to choose the right place, the potato likes a well-soiled, well-drived piece of land, not a low-lying place, or your potato babies will drown. I had a friend who made that mistake last year, and all they dug up was rotten potatoes
Cultivation time is also critical, and spring march-april is generally the best planting period. However, depending on the local climate, the north may be late and the south may be early. Before seeding, remember to cut the seed, each with two to three buds, and then dry the wound and plant it, which reduces the infection. The depth of cultivation is recommended at 8-10 cm, 60 cm in rows and 25-30 cm in strains。
When seeding, remember the dust, about 5 cm thick. When a seedling grows to 15-20 cm high, it can be ploughed properly, thus facilitating tubing. By the way, don't plant the potatoes too dense, or they'll fight each other for nutrients
Potato cultivation techniques
Speaking of planting techniques, it's a college question. First, we have to talk about diversity options. Newcomers recommend the selection of disease-resistant and adaptable varieties such as dutch no. 15 and sharpotti, which may not be the most productive, but are stable and reliable. I've seen people chasing new breeds blindly, and it's a mess
The birth chain is particularly important. The seeding takes 10 to 15 days ahead of 15-20°c and can be cut off and grown when it reaches about 1 cm. The cutter must be disinfected and immersed with alcohol or potassium permanganate solution
Post-plant management is also in charge. In order to keep the soil moist but without water during the nursery period, 2 cm of moisture can be felt by inserting a finger into the soil. Once the plant has grown to about 30 cm, it can be followed up once with potassium fertilizer, which will help to increase production. Potatoes are potassium babies, who are particularly fond of potassium fat, but nitrogen fat cannot be overdosed, otherwise long leaves do not grow potatoes。
High potato production techniques
Do you want to be productive? There are a few key skills. First, there's a rotation, and it's best to grow potatoes once in three years on the same land, and the front crop is better in beans or grass. I know an old farmer whose potatoes are of high age and whose secret is the strict application of the rotational system。
Fertilizer management is key to increasing production. The demand for potatoes varies at different stages of growth: more nitrogen fertilizer is required for growth during the seeding period; potassium phosphate is required during the tubing period; and sufficient moisture is required during the expansion period. It is recommended that drip irrigation systems be used to conserve and accurately control water volumes. When it comes to fertilizing, it's important to have enough base fat, and it's easy to catch fat. I usually get fat once in the seasons。
There's an easy-to-neglected, high-yield trick: to the top in due course! When the plant is about 40 cm long, it removes 2-3 cm from the top, thus inhibiting the growth and facilitating the transfer of nutrients to the tubers. But it's too early or too late to do the right thing。
Potato farming techniques and management
In management, pest control is absolutely the top priority! First of all, it's the potato's number one killer. The rainy season is particularly high. Preventive measures include the selection of resistant varieties, rational planting and timely drainage. Once the disease is detected, the agents, such as dyson manganese zinc or ester, are sprayed immediately, once a week, two to three times in a row。
For subterranean pests such as thorium and golden needle insects, thionphos-octate granules can be applied during seeding. Aphids not only directly endanger the plant but also transmit viral diseases, which are detected in a timely manner. Don't wait for a massive outbreak
Collection and storage are also relevant. When the next leaf of the plant starts to turn yellow, it can be harvested. The water was stopped 7 to 10 days before the harvest, causing the skin to age. For storage, a cold-ventilated location is selected, temperature is controlled at 4-5°c and humidity 85-90% is appropriate. Our potato stock last year didn't sprout for three months. The secret is to put a few apples in the storage box. The ethylene from the apple can contain the potato sprouts
