Potato germing and landing
It is better to use tested, more affordable potato varieties (in the year of writing articles it was Adret-Ta, Lasunak, temp. Ed.), But the main thing is to comply with the recommended cultivation agricultural skills.
In early March, sort the tubers (25-50 g, 50-80 g, over 80 g), place them in the mesh and drag them to a prominent place, desirable, above the windows, to make more sun. You can put the planting material
In the boxes or even just on the floor, but necessarily in a well-lit place. Thus, the tubers will germinate that at one time will speed up their germination after planting.
Plant potatoes in the middle strip of agriculture better in the last days of April.
Preparation of soil
If your site has been plowed or a peroxide from autumn with the introduction of organicities (a bucket of manure per 1 sq. M. Front
Landing Plot to reharden or explode the cultivator to a depth of 10-12 cm. If it is not overwhelmed in the fall, do it in the spring, after pressing the organic (only not fresh manure). By the way, if there are no problems with the organic, it is better to do without mineral fertilizers.
Potatoes can be planted when the soil warmed up (7-8 degrees at a depth of 10 cm). Small tubers are planted at a distance of 15-20 cm from each other, larger - 20-30 cm. Between the rows - 70 cm. The depth of planting is 8-12 cm, and, on the loose soil, you need to take the maximum depth, on heavy - minimum. Early varieties are better to plant.
Weeds and pests
Literally in a matter of days after the landing, we begin to attack the weeds, so before the appearance of germs (the first time in about a week), we try to break two or three times. The first glue - when the plants have a height of 12-15 cm, the last before closing the treasures of potatoes. The main enemies of potatoes are the Colorado Beetle and Phytoftor. First, it is better to collect manually and destroy. But in the fight against the phytoofluoro, without "chemistry" can not do. But only at an early stage of development and growth of plants. That is, proactive processing. After germs, treat several times in potatoes with copper vitriol at the rate of 100 g on the water bucket. You can also use khomitsin, polycarbocine, pole (40 g of preparation on the water bucket). Spend such processing up to four times.
Harvesting
With harvesting, it is better not to delay. After the pcs, wait a couple of weeks (so that the peel) and only then you can choose the tubers. Select the seeds for the next year strong, the correct shape of the tuber from the most damned bushes. Well, the storage of potatoes is the topic of a separate conversation.
And I do it!
For germination of potatoes I use bins from fruit and separation grille. At the bottom for better ventilation, I put a small layer of chips. Very effectively!
