How to plant potato 1 to accelerate germination and seed dressing
When planting potatoes, it is necessary to select bright and mature seed potatoes, germinate them at 25℃, and turn the potatoes once a day to make them evenly heated. After the potatoes germinate, you can cut them into small pieces with a sharp knife to ensure that 1-2 buds grow on each potato piece.
2. Turn over the ground and prepare the soil
Potatoes are suitable for growing in sandy loam with good drainage. When planting potatoes, it is necessary to plow 30 cm of land to remove gravel and grass roots, and then apply enough base fertilizer to the soil. You can choose decomposed livestock manure to provide nutrients for the growth of potatoes.
3. Planting method
When planting potatoes, when the temperature steadily passes through 10℃ for three consecutive days, the potato pieces should be buried in the soil at 10 cm, and covered with plastic film, which is beneficial to their rapid emergence, and weeds in the soil should be removed in time to prevent weeds and potatoes from robbing nutrients.
4. Fertilization management
Potatoes need sufficient nutrients during their growth. When cultivating potatoes, it is necessary to spray urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate on their leaves during tuber formation to promote the growth of potatoes, while in tuber expansion period, it is necessary to apply phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer to them to improve potato yield.
