In may, temperatures were rising steadily and the light was rising, and the potatoes planted in the ground were entering a critical period of undertones。
At this stage, the potatoes are no longer just climbing the vine, and the nutrients are starting to go down, all of them for the ground potatoes and long heads. Many rural people grow potatoes at this point in time to recognize one thing: water. I always thought that with enough water, potatoes could grow much bigger。
It's actually a common disease for many farmers. Potato expansion in may, watering only basic pipes, is far from sufficient. Many people grow green potatoes and climb all over the ground, and it is only when they dig that they find that they are small and in small quantities, few of them decent, busy for six months, and their harvests are severely compromised。
Every year i grow potatoes in my home, in my garden, and i learn a lot from the old growers in my village. Over the years, it has been discovered that in may, the potato booming period, with no need to work, no need to fatten up, no need to water, no need to do three key steps, no need to play with the wind, full and full of chips, large amounts of potatoes, easy and easy enough to collect a dozen pounds, no time to eat at home, no time to sell。
Today we're going to use the farmer's words, not the book theory, not the unfounded species, not exaggerating the production, not bragging the windfall, but simply talking about the fact that the field can land. The three-step management of the may potato expansion period, with timing, tactics, attention, pit avoidance details, is all torn apart, and ordinary farmers do the same, so that the potatoes are properly piped, grown and collected。
First of all, understand the may potato growth patterns and stop staring at the water
If you want to take care of the potato boom, first you have to figure out how it grows in may。
Before and after the summer, the potato field was basically closed and the leaf blades were stable, at a time when the growth weight of the plant had completely shifted. The previous period was long roots, long stubbles, vines and vines, and by may all nutrients began to flow underground, focusing on the cultivation of chips and the expansion of the head。
At this stage there are two ways of managing:
One is watering without other plumbing, soil sheeting, failure to keep up with nutrients, a lack of soil on the face of the earth, and the hair of the chips, which is blue and has a long head
The other is heavy and fat feeding, which drives the earth's vines crazy and long, consumes all of their nutrients on scabs, does not produce nutrients and lasts for small potatoes。
The potatoes themselves are ablaze, afraid of water accumulation, afraid of tan, afraid of nutrients. The temperature rises in may, the noon heat is strong, the evaporation is high, and the showers are easily encountered, and the troughs are most likely to affect the expansion of the chips。
So, instead of watering as much as possible, the swelling period is a combination of water control, soil preparation and fattening, which is more than just a stupid water hose. It's better to make these three steps solid than to pour them blindly ten times。
Ii. First step: timely earth-covering, hair-proof, space for chips
In may, the potato booming period, first and foremost, was not about watering, but farming, which was also one of the most vulnerable steps for many farmers。
Potato chips tend to grow in lax, light-shield, wet layers. As the chips expand slowly, the size becomes larger, and it is easy to break the face, the chips rise to the surface of the ground, and the ground is exposed at a small arch. Once the sun hits, the potato skin turns green quickly, and it also produces a taste that varies, is unsaleable, has a bad taste at home and is kept for shorter periods。
Also, when the tectonic surface is fractured, the earth's layer is large, the water evaporates rapidly, it is easy to run underneath, the soil is less fertile and the chips are limited in their growth, and they are small and uneven。
In may, it must be done before the vines are sealed and the chips are just swelling up. Too early, too late for the vines to be laid, too late to get in, not to get down, and never to get to the ground。
The practice is particularly simple:
And when the sun is clear and the earth is not stupefied, draw the earth from the tops, and draw it towards the roots of the potatoes and the cracks of the cheeks. It is not too thick. Three to five centimetres is enough to seal the cracks, and all the chips that are about to come out of their heads are covered up, unearthed and not open。
The earth must be light and not dig deep, so as not to touch the ground and break the shallow roots. Only the earth, the covering, the thicker floor。
It also has the advantage of making the earth layer more lax, with rain not easy to wash directly into its roots, and water not easy to dry after the rains, creating a loosely growing environment for the expansion of the chips, allowing them to expand and stabilize the amounts of potatoes。
Step two: reasonable control of water during periods of expansion, steady water availability, dry and wet
Many of the country's inhabitants feel that the potato is in great need of water, so that it can be watered in the air, so that it can be watered in may。
It is true that the amount of water needed to expand the potato season is larger than the seeding period, but it is shallow, afraid of water accumulation and afraid of flooding. The soil is long-term overwatered, with poor permeability, with subsurface chips prone to descreasing and decaying, and with the appearance of deformity and fissures, with the products directly scrapped。
The greatest taboo to water is to be drenched and damp. In the pre-dry period, the soil was white and the vine and vines had hair, and the long lack of water slowed the growth of the chips; in the post-sudden period, the water was so heavy, the insides of the chips were soared, the skin was soared that it could not keep up with it, and it was neither good looking nor durable to store it。
The most useful water-watering rhythm in rural areas:
In the event of normal weather and no continuous rainfall in may, water can be poured every five to six days. Slow seepage followed by ditches, non-directing of the surface, low water flow, maintenance of wet and soft subsurface soil, and the most suitable microdrying of the surface soil。
The water is to be watered as long as possible in the morning or evening, avoiding the hot sun. Temperature is high at noon, and cold water can easily stimulate the root system, affecting nutrient transmission and discouraging the expansion of chips。
In the face of successive rainy days, it is important to clear the drains of the tatters ahead of time so that the rain can be drained in time and cannot accumulate in root for long periods. After the rain, do not rush to refill the water, dry the surface properly, and return to normal management once the soil is not adhesive。
Some a week before the ripe harvest of potatoes, water will have to be slowly reduced and phased out. The latter period is characterized by excessive moisture, high water content of the chips, softening, insatiable storage after harvest and decomposition。
It is much better for the potatoes to be soared and smoother than for the blind。
Step three: exactly retrofitting fattening, not applying nitrogen fertilizer, nutrient equilibrium for potatoes
In may, the potato boom was not enough for light-breeding, water control, nutrients and chips. But the most taboo thing about fatting is the blindness and the use of nitrogen。
A large number of farmers are trying to save themselves from fattening, so that they can sow a little bit of normal nitrogen fat, a little bit of nitrogen fattening, so that the ground can grow and grow wildly, so that the leaves grow and sour, so much nutrients are consumed by seedlings, so that the nutrients that should be used to feed the chips below the ground can last, and so that there is an awkward situation of croquets and small chips。
What is most needed during the potato boom is balanced nutrients, with emphasis on potassium supplementation. Potassium fertilizer increases the resilience of the chips, makes them porcelain, symmetrical, skin tight, makes them less vulnerable to cracks, deformities and later storage。
Fat-trapping takes time and amount, and follows the principles of early pursuit, less pursuit and distance from root。
The best time to catch fat is when the chips start to swell in early may, with one-time filling, without frequent fertilization。
(b) sufficient bottom, fertile plots, strong vines and vines, with no need for extra retracing and a small amount of balanced fertilizer
The sand, thin ground, soil infertile and weak seedlings can be supplemented with a modest, moderate, non-grabbing and non-absorption-free diet。
I mean, i'm not sure what i'm talking about
Open shallow ditches between the two rows of potatoes, so that the fertilizer is evenly spread into the ground, so that the water is poured over and the nutrients melt slowly into the earth. Remember not to spill fertilizer directly at the root, with a high temperature in may, which could result in the burning of a seed, but rather affect the potatoes。
It was determined not to go after fat later, and by mid-may, the chips were basically stereotyped, and the pursuit of fat would only keep the vines growing, without any productivity gain, and waste agricultural resources。
Quite precise fattening followed the potato growth pattern, with no favour or force, with nutrients going down, with no supply of potatoes, and with a steady amount and head of potatoes。
May, may, potato booms will be accompanied by the details of the tube
In addition to the three key steps of earth-breeding, water-control and fertilizer-making, there are a few small details that can be done easily。
First, weeds should be cleaned in time. The may temperature is appropriate, weeds grow fast, water and fat, and the potatoes compete for nutrients. Do not wait for the weeds to take root too deep to be cleaned as early as possible。
Second, no man stepped on the face. The swelling period is as low as possible, moving back and forth, stepping back on the earth's floors, making it more compact, making it less airy and limiting the expansion of the space of the chips。
Third, reasonable control does not push. The vines grow naturally, without deliberately pouring water in pursuit of fattening, and the branches are overstretched, and they tend to divert nutrients to the detriment of the ground potatoes. Stay ventilated and more robust。
Fourth, a lot of patrolling. It is not appropriate to go to the ground and see if the face is cracking, the chips are showing up, the soil is dry and wet, and it is early to find that the problem of early treatment is seriously remedied。
The production of potatoes is high, with three points for nursery management and seven points for may expansion management. Many people have failed in their potato production, either with bad seeds, or with bad power, or during periods of expansion, with stupid watering, neglecting the three key issues of earthbreeding, water control and fertilizer。
As long as these three steps are put in place, without lazyness, disorder or blindness, without heavy water fattening, with the proper care of potato growth, without the need to spend any extra money, without the use of drugs, without the use of the wind, the underground chips can be so thick, big and full of their heads, with no problems of producing more than a dozen pounds, and with good harvests from their families。

A sweet hint
In may, the potato booming season was not focused solely on watering, but focused on the cultivation of earth, rational water control, and three precise steps towards fertilizer. Avoid damp, nitrous fertilizers, no potatoes. These faults, which follow the air-conservation regime, are so thick, so flat, so productive and so well stored。
