How to grow potatoes

When growing potatoes, choose sandy loam with loose and fertile soil and good drainage, and then apply sufficient base fertilizer to wait for later planting. Before sowing, take out the potato seeds 20 days in advance to sprout, then cut into pieces and sow them to the soil according to the distance between 15cm and 15cm, and finally put some manure and cover the soil. If there is no water around, you can cover a layer of film, wait for germination, the film can be removed, and so on 3 months later can be harvested.

High-yield planting methods of potatoes:

1. Seed selection: what kind of seed should be chosen?

Seed selection is a prerequisite to ensure high yield of potatoes, but now many farmers still remain in the planting concept and quality of more than ten years ago, planting the same variety for more than ten years. Although many people have changed varieties during the planting period, the soil planted has not been updated, resulting in serious degradation of the quality of the varieties. The variety of potatoes should be selected according to planting environment, time, weather and other factors. Also consider the market demand and season, as long as according to these circumstances to select varieties can get a very good yield.

2. Raising seedlings: how to raise seedlings?

Potato cultivation will be easy to rot if the weather is high or low and the temperature is uncertain, so when sprouting, it is necessary to ensure that the seedlings are complete, Miaoqi and other conditions. Select the disease-free medium beans with relatively uniform budding eyes, cut them and dry them, put them in a shady place, spread a layer of moist sand, and then cover them with plastic film for heat preservation. Generally speaking, the sprouting eyes of potato blocks will begin to sprout within 1-2 weeks, and those that have already germinated will be sown, and those that have not yet germinated will continue to germinate.

3. Temperature: what is the best degree?

Potatoes have a great demand for light, but they are strict with light and temperature. 20 degrees is the most suitable temperature when potatoes are young. Potato tuber growth temperature should be controlled at about 18-20 degrees, higher than 20 degrees, less than 18 degrees will try different effects on the growth and development of potatoes. For example, according to the weather and farming conditions in the south, sowing begins around the Beginning of Autumn, and harvest can begin in November. After harvest, winter seeds can be sown, and the following year around the Beginning of Spring can harvest. And then follow this list. Spring seeds can be harvested from May to June.

4. Cultivation: how to cultivate?

Potatoes will grow faster in the later stage, so the soil for growing potatoes must choose rich, deep and soft soil. The drainage system is good. The field is divided into one ridge and one ridge, the width of the field is 70~80cm and the height of 30~40cm is high. Mainly according to the variety to select different field beds, reasonable control of planting density, generally the distance of each hole in 15cm, row spacing in 15cm. And because the growing period of potato is shorter than that of other crops, it is necessary to ensure its fertilizer requirement.

The above is the introduction of how to grow potatoes. I hope it will be helpful to you.
