Aren't we the potato growers who worked so hard to grow from the beginning of the spring to weed, water, and fertilize for six months
But the reality is that many farmers have the same problem once they reach the critical stage of the potato expansion in may: knowing that a brain is pouring water as hard as possible, and feeling that they are growing up with potatoes. As a result, at the end of the day, either the potatoes are small, they have few nests, they are deformed, they can't sell at any price, and there are direct hollows, rotten potatoes, they're busy with a season, they don't work, and they're sad。
Today, with decades of combat experience in the field with potatoes, i'm a real, clean, non-smuggling, non-smuggling skill. To make it clear to you, in may, what to do, what to do, how to do, without fertilizing or pouring water, is a simple three-step process. Potatoes grow round and round, their heads grow, their yields are high, and they dig a dozen pounds with ease, whether they eat or sell at home
First, let's start with the perception zone: why water the may light, the smaller the potatoes
Let us first make clear the central truth that many of the natives have not been able to grow potatoes, not because of bad varieties, not because of bad land, but because of a complete reversal in the management of periods of expansion。
When's may? Temperatures are rising slowly, rain is increasing, potatoes are growing fast, and the subterranean stem is entering a critical period of rapid expansion. In short, at this time the potatoes are not long, big and very small. They are managed by this month。
The vast majority of farmers do this: when they see it hot and dry, they pour water every day, and when they pour water, they feel that they can grow their potatoes. I'll tell you the truth: "the potato booms, the worst thing to fear is to pour water out of the sky and pour water."
Unlike other vegetables, potatoes are grown under the ground and most afraid of soil water and moisture. The water is draught, the soil's permeability deteriorates, the potato roots fail to breathe, the root of the potato is flat, the stubble looks at the green oil and the ground potatoes are not growing at all, and the humidity is so great that all kinds of rotten potatoes, black moles, and plagues come to the door and dig up potatoes later, which are worse than good。
There are also a lot of old people who feel that they're going to be fertilizing with nitrogen during the swelling season, and that urea is going to be spread out, and all the nutrients are gone to the leaves and poles, and the ground potatoes can't get their nutrients, their heads are thin, and they can't get a few。
In may, when the potato swelled, the core was neither watering nor fertilizing, but water control, fattening and prevention. These three steps are done so that the potatoes can be big, thick and good; the three steps are wrong, and then watering and fertilizing quickly, and it's all in vain。
And i'm going to say, step by step, that it's all the hands-on exercise skills that farmers can do, open-air potatoes, membranes potatoes, and potatoes that grow in vegetable gardens, all of which are universal, without any threshold。
Ii. Step 1: scientific control of water, dry and wet, and no more heavy water fill
The month of may was the top priority of the potato boom, and water was the key to the potato's growing head, but not the more water the better, but the time, the way to water it was done was right. This was a wrong step, and no later remedial action was possible。
1. Understanding the core principles of potato expansion
Remember a simple and good note: front run, medium run, post dry, see if it's wet or dry。
Potato expansion requires soil moisture, but more air. The soil is too dry, the potatoes are small and prone to malformation; the soil is too wet, the roots are oxygen-depleted and the rotten potatoes are decaying. The most suitable soil condition for potato expansion is the dryness of the earth's surface, the wetness of the ground, the holding of a piece of earth, and the release of the earth。
In february, may, the correct method of running water
1. Timing of water
Water can only be watered in the morning or evening and never at noon. At noon, the sun is tanned, the water is low and the temperature is high, and the root of the potato is directly irritated by the water, which is prone to rotting roots, stiff potatoes and can cause disease. In the morning, the best water is poured, the water leaks down, the soil cools in the daytime, the spas are sturdy and the potatoes swell。
2. Changing water patterns
No more heavy water, no more water from scratch, no more small water, no more water. It is only necessary to get wet in the ditches, to have a microtide on the cheeks, to never let the water pass through the roof, much less to accumulate water in the ground. In particular, water must be drained in time after the rains, water must not be stored in the ditches, water must accumulate for more than 24 hours and potatoes must rot。
3. Distinction between different trends
• weaknesses and yellow leaves: can be properly watered and a steady tree secured
• prolonged spores and entanglements: strict control of water, less or no water, preferential control of entrails, and prevention of full nutrition
• a continuous high temperature: three to five days water once
• continuous rainy days: stop watering, only drainage。
The farmers must avoid the three taboos
Paranoid i: daily watering during periods of expansion and prolonged wet soil
Paradox two: high-temperature watering at noon and cold-hot altercation of roots
Paradox three: the water is not lax, and the soil sheet is not clenched。
And here's an old farmer's trick: every time you pour water or rain, when the earth watch doesn't stick, it has to be shallow. Without deep beaks, two to three centimeters to the surface, breaking the slabs of the soil, which preserves water fattening, increases soil permeability, deep roots of potatoes and quick growth, a step that many ignore, but is critical to increasing production。
Step two: accurate fertilizer, two fats, full of potatoes
A lot of old people grow potatoes, and once they're fat, they stop chasing fat all the time. It's a big mistake! Potatoes are a popular crop. The may boom is a peak period, and the bottom nutrients will never last。
But i also don't suggest that we do all kinds of fertilizing, adding to the swelling period only potassium + calcium fertilizers, and that nitrogen fertilizers are definitely less or less used, that they are less expensive, that they are the best, that they can be bought at a farm store without any complicated matching。
Why only potassium and calcium
• potassium fattening: it is a core fattening of potatoes, with a large number of heads and potatoes, sufficient potassium, a round roll of potatoes, high starch content, high level of flour, and good sales; it is not enough, with small potatoes and rough skins。
• calcium fertilizer: specialized anti-aircraft cores, fissure-resistant potatoes, deformations, calcified calcium, smooth potato skins, even heads, no muscular and hollow potatoes, which significantly increases the commodity rate。
• nitrogen fattening: no more can be applied during the swelling period, and the crotch is so long that the nutrients of the ground potatoes are taken away, resulting in only crotch and no potatoes。
2. Both methods of fertilisation, which are available in the case of scattered and large-scale cultivation
Method i: follow-up fertilizer (large field, membrane potatoes preferred)
Time: in mid-may, before and after the potato seal, when it started to swell, one-time chase without many fat pursuits。
Usage: 20-25 kg of potassium sulphate per acre, 10 kg of calcium fat, ploughed in along the gutter, and then watered, allowing the fertilizer slowly to penetrate the soil and be absorbed by the root system。
Advantages: prolonged fertility, direct supply of subterranean troughs, high rate of expansion, much larger and bigger potatoes。
Method ii: leaf spray (small garden, small plant preference, zero cost savings)
Many farmers find it difficult to catch up with fat, which is the easiest way to teach you how to fatten the leaves. You don't have to open a ditch, you don't have to spread fat。
In 30 pounds of clean water, 30 grams of potassium dihydrophosphate, 15 milligrams of calcium fluoride, fully modulated, full spray, with a focus on the back of the leaf, once in seven days and twice in a row。
Advantages: absorption is fast, it works fast, it can be seen in three to five days, it's not very long, it's growing fast, and it can prevent premature decay。
Three, you have to hide from the pit
1. The use of potassium chloride, which is an anti-chlorine crop, is absolutely unacceptable and, when used, the potato is accelerated, of poor quality and prone to rotten potatoes
2. The pursuit of fat is not too late until the potatoes have grown so big that they can't be absorbed and paid for
3. Fertilisation must not be too close to the root line to burn the root, and will follow the gutter。
Step three: take control of the leaves, remove the extra nutrients and supply them to the ground. Land beans
In may, when temperatures rise and water is abundant, potatoes are particularly vulnerable to long periods of madness. It's the biggest mistake of many people to look at them as if they were the best
The more the sap grows, the more the nutrients are consumed, the less the potatoes are given. At the end of the day, a large area of green oil was covered with potatoes, full of small eggs, and production was reduced by half. So the core of the third step is to control the boom, pick the old leaves, squeeze the side branches and force all the nutrients to the long potatoes underground。
How do we control it
No drugs, no hormonals, pure physical control, no residues, no worries。
1. Manual pedaling of chickens
After the potato sealing, the raisins grew to 40-50 cm high, and in the middle of the morning, with their feet gently plunging and crushing, so that the raisins grew to the ground。
Principle: breaking the top edge, preventing the spores from continuing to grow upwards, forcing nutrients to flow to the subterranean troughs, while the vines tend to grow unsustainably and absorb more nutrients and potatoes。
2. Cut the top and side buds
Strangling the top of the potato chicken while cutting off the extra sprouts of the bottom, the non-functional branches. Only the main chickens and the strong branches are kept, nutrient consumption is reduced and potato expansion is concentrated。
2. Remove old, yellow and sick leaves in time
Many of the old houses are not allowed to pick leaves and feel that they can be used in light. In fact, the old leaves, yellow leaves and sick leaves at the bottom of potatoes not only do not produce nutrients, but also consume nutrients, but are also poorly ventilated and susceptible to disease。
Operation: remove all the roots of potatoes up to 20 centimetres of old, yellow and rotten leaves, ensure ventilation and reduce disease, and concentrate all nutrients on the ground potatoes。
3 - control of wang's judgement
Let's see when we need to control it
• the length of the sepsis, the thinness of the leaves, the light green of colour, and the moving up of the vines, which are long and must be controlled immediately
• short intervals, thick leaves, green colours and long hairs are normal, free of deliberate control and only old leaves。
V. Additional gifts: 2 life-saving potato techniques in may, and anti-fat potato
With three steps above, potato production is almost stable, and two additional free techniques, disease prevention and bad potatoes, must be kept in mind。
1. Focus on the prevention of night disease, mole disease
In may, high temperature and humidity, with high levels of potato fever and mole disease, could be lost in the next few days。
No expensive medicines, daily ventilation, removal of leaves and reduction of field moisture; if leaves are found with brown spots, routine anti-disease medication is provided in a timely manner, early treatment is provided, and other diseases are treated。
2 - toast root, cassava protection, exposed head
When the potatoes swell, it is easy to show the ground, and the light turns green and bitter, and it doesn't sell at all。
In may, while watering and raining, potatoes were prepared in a timely manner, the soil of the gutter was bred to the top of the roof, covered with potato troughs, which both prevented the potatoes from showing greenness and increased soil thickness, and contributed to their expansion。
Vi. Conclusion of an observations
There's no high-tech potato growing, and there's no potion fat. It's all about catching the key period and doing the right thing。
Growing in spring and weeding are basic tasks, and what really determines productivity is the expansion of the month of may. Remember three steps at the core: scientific control of water not soaked, potassium supplementation of calcium without nitrogen, control of leaf harvesting maintenance points。
Let's just say it's easy to remember, and the folks do it:
And in may the potatoes will swell, so don't pour water and panic
(a) watered potassium for the extraction of leaves and a basket of potatoes
Science management is not lazy, it's very productive。
We grow the land. It's a hard harvest. In may, the three-step trick, all of which was drawn from decades of field crawling, was a dry war product, with no rhetoric. It's time to celebrate, collect, transmit it to their relatives and neighbours who grow potatoes, so that everyone can grow high-yield potatoes
