It's almost the end of the year, and next year's potato planting should be ready! Potatoes, both in the south and in the north, are the main crop of spring. Some areas of the south will be able to grow in january-february of the coming year, and in the north in february-april. Today we'll share some of the key techniques for growing potatoes
1. Choose the big one
In order to save money, many people like to make seeds from little potatoes or sliced potatoes, so that they don't produce and are vulnerable to disease. The selection has several points:
The potato is grown with a clear angle and full eye. The head better be around 100-150 grams, with a cleavage, and the flesh to be white, no brown spots. If you grow potatoes with slices, you must cut them three to five days in advance to heal them。
It's got to be sprouts before it's two
Potato cultivation is the most taboo direct seed, and it must start with seed. I started the sprouts about 15 days early, and it was simple: a half-hour immersion with 0. 5% copper sulfate water, and then a 15-20 degree sprouts。
The best time to grow is when the bud grows to about two centimetres. If it's long, it means there's not enough light, and it doesn't grow strong。
The whole place is going down
Potatoes are the ones who are most afraid of rotting. Rolling over 30 centimeters deep, smashing the earth's pieces and making it "landless." gestapo gives priority to decomposed farmers。
It is particularly important to note that the new land is not so suitable as the one that planted potatoes last year. It would be preferable to grow corn, wheat, which is of moderate soil quality and sufficient nutrients。
When and how
In the south, cultivation generally took place in january-february and in the north in april. The timing depends on the temperature, which can be grown at more than 8 degrees at 5 cm depth。
I'm using high-strength cultivation: 25 cm tall, 80 cm wide and 10 cm deep. 30 centimeters, 60 centimeters. And when it is planted, do not immediately cover the soil, pour water first, then then cover the soil, so that it will come out clean。
5. How do we get fat
Potato is fat, but fat. We'll have to split it three times:
The first after the seeding; the second before the flower; the third at the beginning of the potato。
Every time you go after fat, you have to combine it. With compound fat, an acre is about 30 pounds a time. It must be spread along the gutter, not directly on the plant。
6. How to combat pests and diseases
And the potatoes fear the plague of the night, and when it happens, the earth shall suffer. Prevention requires an early spraying of 1 per cent of bordeaux during hot and heavy rains. We must remove the leaves in time and never leave the ground。
The spot on the potato leaf caused by the plague
Seeing this may be one of the following common problems:
"why are my potatoes so small?" the main thing is that it's not timely or too dense. Potatoes must be fertilized in a timely manner, and planting densities must be appropriate and too dense to keep up with nutrients. "purples are always flowering, and they don't work?" it's the result of the inappropriate watering of potatoes. Potato seasons have to be managed so that they are wet. It's too wet. The nutrients are all leafy. "can you keep the red-haired potatoes in the ground?" the fact that they can't be planted means that the light is greening, and that they contain algae, toxic. It's important to grow potatoes that are completely mature underground。
Growing potatoes is not difficult, and all these points need to be taken. Growing a good potato is better than growing three acres. I hope we all grow good potatoes and make good profits. Good harvests are managed. Remember these tricks, it's not hard to grow high-yield, high-quality potatoes. Good luck with the planting
