Growing potatoes Rosara

Rosary variety potatoes are completely unpretentious in care. Nevertheless, in order to grow a rich and healthy harvest of this culture, it is necessary to take into account some subtleties of this labor-intensive process.

The choice and preparation of the soil

The sooner you start preparing the soil to landing, the faster you can collect the first harvest of young potatoes:

1. The best soils for growing potatoes of the Rosar variety will be light or medium drum and sampling soils.
2. When choosing a landing room, keep in mind that potatoes love a lot of light. Choose open and outstanding sections.
3. It is not recommended to plant potatoes in the same place for more than 2-3 years.
4. The soil for growing potatoes must have a small, lumpy (no more than 25 mm lumps) and a homogeneous structure that can hold moisture and at the same time can prevent overvailing.
5. Excellent predecessors of potatoes can be all bean and pumpkin, cucumbers, cabbage of any kind, root.
6. It is impossible to plant potatoes in those areas where sorghum grew, sunflower, tomatoes and other grained.
7. Agronomas are recommended to land Oats on the site that is planned to be given under potatoes for the next year. This grade well purifies the soil from fungal infections and disinfects the soil. Oats leave in the ground until the first frosts, then he sires himself. In the spring, the land will jump along with the eye of the grass, which quickly overtakes and saturates the ground.
8. In the fall, be sure to put compost to the soil. In the spring, the decomposed compost will warm the land, giving her his warmth. So in the fall, you can easily feather the earth with phosphorus and potassium, but not nitrogen. Nitrogenous fertilizers are allowed to be made only in early spring.
9. Early spring is recommended to remove snow from the site that is planned for potatoes so that the earth warms up faster.
10. If you water the ground with warm water and cover the black film, the soil warms up faster. And under the black film, the first seedlings of weed grass are dying.
11. As soon as the Earth finds out 10 cm depth, it will be possible to introduce organic fertilizers - manure, bird litter, peat, compost. You can also enter phosphoric, potash and nitrogen fertilizers. By 1 square. The m. Soils exist the following norms: not more than 30 g of ammonium nitrate, no more than 40 g of superphosphate and up to 40 g of potash fertilizers.

Preparation of seed potatoes

Seed potatoes can be purchased in specialized stores or take tubers from the previous crop. Before landing in the soil, seed potatoes Rosar requires special training:

1. For landing take tubers weighing from 30 g to 100 g.
2. In no case use no rotten potatoes for landing. Carefully move the tubers.
3. In early March, the potato tubers are brought out to the light that they sprout well. The room temperature should be at least 15-18 ° C.
4. 10-14 days before landing, potatoes are desirable to harden at 4-6 ° C. To do this, he is lowered into the cellar.
5. Large tubers with filamentous sprouts are not suitable for landing, it is better to throw them away.
6. Large potatoes can be divided into 2 parts, then the bushes will be stronger, thick, with broad foliage.
7. Every 4-5 years it is necessary to update the planting material, otherwise the crop will be fine, and the variety is degenerated.

Planting potatoes Rosar

In the spring, already in early May, when the Earth warmed up well, you can start planting potatoes. The process consists of the following steps:

1. Before boarding the ground, it is necessary to plow to a depth of at least 20-22 cm, and better 28-30 cm. The deeper the plowing, the richer the crop will get.
2. A couple of hours before the landing of the tuber need to cut into two parts and let them dry out in the open air. See so that each half of the potatoes were sprouts.
3. Mix the ash with ground eggshell. You can add a onion husk there, it also fertilizes the ground very well.
4. Make recesses in the ground at least 10 cm for the soil, and 6-8 cm for sublinous. The distance between each well should be about 40 cm, and between the rows of at least 65-75 cm.
5. To each well add a mixture of ash and egg shell (onion husks) and lay the potatoes over the fertilizer, then fall asleep the moon of the earth.
6. After planting a plot with small potatoes, it is necessary to pour well.

Potato Care Rosar

The entire period of growth of potatoes Rosar requires good and timely care:

1. Until the first shoots appear twice the soil, destroying sprouted weeds.
2. In the absence of rains, it is necessary to water the land, but do not cease, otherwise the tubers can contradict the moisture.
3. Up to the first shoots, the soil is also needed. The first harrowing is carried out 5-7 days after landing, next one more week. This will help to saturate the soil with oxygen.
4. When the bushes reach 10-12 cm (during the embeddings of the top), it is necessary to conduct a substrate treatment (cultivation). To do this, use hoons, motobock or flat foke. Cultivation to a depth of 6-8 cm helps to destroy the sprouts of weeding grass, helps the soil to be saturated with oxygen, improves moisture exchange in the soil. With increased humidity of the soil, the loosening can be carried out deeper - by 10-12 cm.
5. If you need, you can additionally rush the weeds manually.
6. You have to carry out at least 3 loosenings and weeding with an interval of 10-15 days.
7. It is very important to draw the bruises of bushes at least 2 times for the entire growing season. Dipping is carried out after rain or artificial irrigation. With the first dipping, each bush from all sides is poured by the land by 10-12 cm, during the second dying - by 20 cm. Works are carried out by hoe or occupier. If the summer fell too dry, then it is worth refreshing from the dip.
8. The thick and well-developed tops require regular artificial irrigation with dry weather. For each bush, it is necessary to pour at least 3-5 liters of water.

Fighting pests

Everyone who at least once grown potatoes came across a problem in the form of a colorado beetle. Rosary variety potatoes are also subject to this pest, and it must be struggling with him, otherwise it can reduce yield to 80% or to destroy it at all. There are 4 ways to combat pests:

• biological;
• chemical;
• mechanical;
• folk.

Biological method

In the choice of ways to combat Colorado Beetles, it is better to give preference to biologically. They are harmless to people, for the environment (do not contaminate air, soil, plants), as well as for insects, birds, rodents. Using biological agents, you are guaranteed to get a healthy and environmentally friendly potato harvest. Biological means include "Agrantin", "Bicol", "Bitoxibac Cyllain", "Colorado", "Phytoverm".

Read more about how to use biological means of fighting:

1. "BitonSibacillin" can be used at an air temperature of 18 ° C. There are 40-100 g of powder on 10 liters of water and sprayed a bushes 3 times over the growing season every 10 days. If you are using tablets, the spraying is worth spending 4 times per season (4-10 tablets on 10 liters of water). After spraying the larva, the beetle lose mobility, becomes sluggish and stopped feeding the tops. As a result of infected larvae, beetles appear freaks that are not capable of reproduction. They infect healthy beetles, which in the end die.
2. "Bicol" is bred in the amount of 20 g on 10 liters of water and spray every generation of beetles 3 times throughout the season with an interval of 10 days.
3. "Phytoverm" refers to the newest biological drugs. Infected beetles and larvae are paralyzed after a few hours after spraying and die for 3-6 days. On the eggs of the beetle the drug does not affect. In case of new larvae from eggs, the spraying must be repeated. Use the drug at air temperature not lower than 18 ° C.
4. The action of "Agrantina" is similar to "phytodeterm", except that it can be used at lower air temperatures (from 12 ° C).
5. The preparation "Colorado" spend spraying twice per season. The second time the procedure is carried out a week after the first spraying. 10 liters of water take 130-160 g of the drug.

Chemical means of struggle

When using chemicals, it is necessary to adhere to sanitary rules and perform everything strictly according to the instructions so as not to harm yourself, plants and the environment. The selection of keriformicates in the market is huge.

Read more about how to use chemical means of struggle:

1. Use chemicals to fight only in the most extreme cases.
2. Carefully read the instructions for each drug and only after that proceed to work.
3. Always wear protection products while working with chemicals.
4. By 10 square meters. M. Earth can use no more than 1 l liquid. In no case do not increase the dosage of the drug.

Mechanical method of struggle

The mechanical method is to manually assemble the colorado beetle, its larvae and in their destruction (fold into the bank and poured boiling water). This is a very time-consuming and not very effective way. If you still decide to resort to manual cleaning, remember that the beetles lay their larvae on the bottom of the foliage.

People's way of struggle

Often, in the cultivation of potatoes, folk methods of combating Colorado beetles are used. They are absolutely harmless for both human and environmental. Consider some of them:

1. A solution of birch coal is prepared in the ratio of 100 g on 10 liters of water and spray with the Potato Botato.
2. Spray the bushes with a solution of the household soap and ash. For this, the ashes cook for 15 minutes, then insist for 2 days, flickering, bred in 10 liters of water and add 50 g of grated economic soap.
3. Sit between rows of calendula and scatter onion husks - their smell scares the pest.
4. Potato peel in the carbosophy solution (2 tbsp. L. Per 500 ml of water). Then lay the peel into iron cans from the canned and dig them in the ground next to the site. It is necessary to do this before the first germination, so that the wokeered in the spring, the hungry beetles assigned to a poisonous delicacy.
