How to plant potatoes for high yield

Potato is the most commonly eaten potato in our life, and the planting area in our country is very large. When potatoes are planted, people are more likely to produce light-pillar potatoes, which directly affect the planting efficiency of farmers. So now many people are trying their best to increase the output of potatoes. So how can potatoes be planted to produce high yields? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Parcel selection

Potatoes cannot be planted continuously, so when we choose potato plots, we must first ensure that the first three crops are not potatoes or other eggplant crops. If continuous cropping, potato is very easy to produce a variety of soil-borne diseases, which will have a serious impact on its yield, not to mention high yield. The harm to the soil is also very great, which will lead to the loss of soil nutrients, especially various trace elements. If the growth of potatoes lacks trace elements, not only the yield is low, but also the quality will become very poor. Therefore, rotation should be carried out with crops such as wheat.

2. Soil preparation

The main edible part of potato is tuber. Potato tubers need loose and fertile soil to grow. So if we want to have a high yield of potatoes, we should do a good job of soil preparation after selecting a good site. Potato planting plots should choose soil with normal drainage and irrigation, thick and soft plough layer. Then after the previous crop is harvested, the soil is ploughed deeply and the bed is prepared for planting. The width of the border should be controlled according to the topography of the plot and soil water content. If the terrain is high and the drainage and irrigation is good, then the wide border can be made properly, otherwise the narrow border should be made.

3. Scientific fertilization

The growth of potatoes has a great demand for nutrition, so we must do a good job in fertilizing. When preparing the soil, it should be combined with the base fertilizer, which is mainly rotten farm manure, together with an appropriate amount of calcium superphosphate, plant ash and other fertilizers to apply its holes under the soil layer below 10 cm. Then we should do a good job of topdressing according to the growth of potatoes, and eat a bud fertilizer after emergence to promote the growth of seedlings. Then it is necessary to apply tuber fertilizer once in the budding stage, and the amount of fertilizer should be controlled according to the plant growth, and it is generally not suitable to apply fertilizer after flowering.

4. The seedlings are fixed

After the potato seedlings are unearthed, it is necessary to do a good job in determining the seedlings. After completing the seedlings, the weak seedlings were removed and the strong seedlings were retained, and about 5 seedlings were retained in each hole in the first time. Then the number of seedlings decreased to about 3 in the second time. Before transplanting, spraying appropriate amount of diluted new high-fat membrane can effectively improve the survival rate of seedling transplanting. When the plant grows to about 30 cm, properly spray some fruit Zhuangtieling, spray once a week, spray about 3 times, to provide adequate nutrition for the growth of potatoes.

The above is a brief introduction to how to grow potatoes with high yield. If you want to have a high yield of potato, you must do a good job in management, strengthen the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, and ensure the normal growth of potato. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can be helpful to all of you.
