The first step in planting potatoes is to select potato seeds, good seeds to ensure the yield of potatoes, so, before you plant potatoes, you need to select the seeds, pick out some of the poor quality; potato seeds of high quality or not, we can determine from its head and the thickness of the buds eye, a large, rounded, full, buds eye, thick, and so on. Basically, they are all high-quality potato seeds.

After the selection of potato seeds, we need to cut the seeds into pieces, because a potato seed will have a lot of buds, if the whole potato seed planting, a seed pit will be a lot of seedlings, a waste of seeds, not to mention that the seedlings will be too dense, which affects the yield of potatoes, so the potato seed is recommended to be cut into pieces.

You should know that every potato seed will have a top and a tail, the top bud eye is the best, therefore, when we cut the seed block, try to leave the top bud eye, a seed block to leave one or two bud eyes can be, as for the tail of the potato, can be used or not.

When the potatoes are all cut into pieces, it will produce cut pieces, therefore, we need to sprinkle grass ash (must be grass ash) on the place where the potatoes are cut, so that the grass ash adheres to the cut, to accelerate the healing of potato wounds; finally, put the potatoes in a place, preferably a slightly humid place, the potato pieces will be sprouted very quickly.

Two, tilling fertilizer to improve the land

In the potato sprouting period, we took the time to prepare for the planting of potato plots turned once, because the growth of potatoes on the soil requirements are particularly high, the need for soft and breathable soil, so we tilled the land, you need to be slightly tilled deeper, probably about 40 centimeters, according to the degree of fertility of the soil, the application of the right amount of farmyard manure (It must be well rotted, otherwise it is easy to grow insects and breeding germs), and then mix well, and then ridging, increase the thickness of the soil in the planting layer.

Three, hole planting potatoes

When the potatoes sprouted, we can start planting potatoes (of course, you can also cut the block directly after the planting); planting potatoes, first in the plot according to a certain spacing dug a number of seed pits, the pit depth of 20 cm or so, and then sprinkle the pit into the pit of a small half pit of farmyard manure + ash, then sprinkled into the thin layer of soil, a little bit of farmyard manure in the pit, then the pit, and the pit, and then the pit, and then the hole. Slightly cover the pit with farmyard manure, then plant the potato pieces, bud eyes upward, the last is to cover about 1.5 cm of soil, to be potato seedlings and then cultivate the soil.

Four, potato seedling thinning, fertilizer

Potato block planting, about 5 days after the seedling, this time we do not have to care for the time being, because at this time the main source of nutrition for the potato seedling potato block, all, we do not have to rush to chase the fertilizer; when the potato seedling grows to a height of more than 15 centimeters, the leaves a lot of it, we need to start the chase fertilizer; this time the potato is mainly a long seedling, therefore, the main source of nutrition for the potato block, all, we do not have to rush to chase the fertilizer; when the potato seedling grows to more than 15 centimeters high, a lot of leaves, we need to start the fertilizer; this At this time the potato is mainly growing seedlings, therefore, the main direction of our fertilizer is nitrogen fertilizer, you can use our own fermented liquid fertilizer + chicken manure fertilizer or potassium sulfate fertilizer, liquid fertilizer is mainly to supplement the nitrogen nutrients.

Potato in the seedling growth to 10 cm to 15 cm, a nest of potato seedlings may grow a lot of roots, we need to timely thinning of seedlings, the same nest of weak seedlings in the flush cut off, leaving 1, 2 strong seedlings, do not be reluctant to give up, there is a give and take.

When the potatoes began to grow tubers, we need to change the fertilization strategy, mainly using farmyard manure + grass ash (or chicken manure fertilizer, potassium sulfate); high yield potatoes, mainly rely on grass ash, so it is recommended that when planting potatoes, try to find some grass ash to fertilize the potatoes, the potatoes will grow a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest of a nest.
