The latest cause of potato rot

Potato is what we call potato, which has a wide planting area in our country at present. But the rot in the soil when growing potatoes has always been a big problem for growers. What are the reasons for the rot? Below, the pro-agricultural network will introduce to you some of the factors that are prone to such problems.

1. Planting factors

It is an important reason that all aspects of preparations for potato planting have not been done well. There are mainly the following aspects: first, the cutting area of the root block is too large, the seedlings after planting are too fragile, and the final result is rotten. The second is that the slicing is not up to standard, some potatoes do not have sprouts, can not sprout after planting, and will eventually lead to rot. Finally, the seedlings were not preserved well when they were preserved, and the environment was too humid, which led to excessive moisture and rot when planting.

2. Environmental factors

The regulation and control of manpower in this area is limited, but we should know how to regulate and control. First of all, of course, it is the problem of moisture and humidity. Potatoes are not suitable for too wet soil, which will make the underground fruit absorb too much water, break the skin, and lead to rot. Secondly, there is the problem of temperature. Everyone thinks that temperature has little effect on decay, but it is not. The muggy environment formed by high temperature can easily cause potatoes to breed some microbial fermentation and lead to rot. So every day, we should do a good job of drainage and sun protection measures.

3. Disease factors

Disease is a frequent factor leading to potato rot, because potatoes grow in the ground, so some underground pests are difficult to deal with, it is easy to destroy the growth of potatoes and lead to rot. The second is some diseases, such as ring rot, which starts from the top of the potato fruit and corrodes the epidermis directly into the inside. This aspect mainly depends on everyone's daily preventive measures, once it is found that there are any changes in the plants on the ground will attract attention.

4. Management factors

It's good to be careful in this respect, and it's easy to avoid it. First of all, continuous planting, a piece of land planting potatoes for a long time will lead to the accumulation of some potato pathogens, at this time, it is easy to rot, the land should be changed for cultivation. The second is that our daily work after dealing with the disease is not in place, some of the plants are not taken away from the planting site to lead to secondary infection, or the use of chemicals only aimed at the infected body, the surrounding plants forgot to deal with, buried hidden dangers. Finally, there is the habit of composting weeds before planting, leaving some pathogens in the soil.

These are some of the reasons for the rot of potatoes, which we should pay attention to when planting. When cutting pieces, it is best to burn some wood ash out, after cutting to ensure that the section is covered with wood ash, which will greatly improve the survival rate of seedlings. This soil method is the experience accumulated in some areas for hundreds of years.
