Potatoes are also called potatoes, is the most planted area of crops, in the planting of many people will think that as long as there is good soil, fertilization is reasonable to obtain high yields, this is just one of them, there are some tips for planting potatoes may not be known to many people, but it plays a very important role in potatoes, Grandpa planted potatoes for decades, he grows potatoes every year grows particularly well, neighbors are willing to learn from him, they all say that he has a set of potatoes, and now Grandpa has not worked, But the method I use to grow potatoes is all taught by my grandfather, in a word, after using it, it is high yield, and now it is selflessly shared with everyone.
1. Remove the tail buds
Potatoes are divided into head and tail, the head germinates more, the tail germinates less, the bud of the head is called the top bud, the bud of the tail is called the tail bud, the top bud grows thick and vigorous, the tail bud grows weakly, after years of verification, the yield of the top bud is 3 times the output of the tail bud, so, when cutting the potato sprout, remove the tail bud, retain the top bud, a large potato only cuts the head and the middle bud, the tail is discarded, the small potato, directly remove the tail, leaving only the top as a seed bud.
2, shallow planting high peilang
When transplanting potatoes, do not plant too deep, too deep seedlings late, uneven emergence of seedlings, should be shallow trenching, shallow soil covering, generally covered soil thickness of no more than 8 cm, such as seedlings out of the qi, divided into multiple times for high cultivation ridges, not only can increase the looseness of the soil layer, but also improve the soil temperature, is conducive to the rhizome to extend around, increase the number of potato rhizomes, so that it has more potatoes, potato blocks.
3, reasonable fertilization
Planting potatoes regardless of the application of bottom fertilizer or topdressing, can not only use a fertilizer, the need for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium mixed use, especially in the late stage of growth, potassium fertilizer must not be less, and then one is in the expansion period of potato blocks, combined with watering with magnesium sulfate with water application, potatoes not only high yield, starch content is also high, eat sweet and noodles, both improve the yield and improve the quality.
4, pick buds, spray leaf fertilizer
Potatoes are based on underground seed blocks as seeds, do not need to flower and bear fruit, and flowering and fruiting will consume a lot of nutrients, affecting the growth of underground potato blocks, so when the buds appear on the plant to decisively pick off, after picking off, with 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate mixed potato special foliar fertilizer, 7-10 days spray once, spray 2-3 times, can greatly increase the yield.
5, stop the water before harvesting, cut the stems and leaves
About 10 days before harvest, stop watering the potatoes to facilitate the expansion of potato pieces and increase the starch content. About 7 days before harvest, cut off the stems and leaves of the aboveground part with a sickle, and only retain the stem segments that are 5-8 cm high, which is conducive to the expansion and maturity of the underground potato blocks.
The above five tips for planting potatoes, after using it, ensure high yields, I hope to help everyone. Stay tuned for more.
