It is not easy to grow potatoes, because they require special care. It is very important to perform the reversal on time and correctly. Also, it is important to know how many times per season this procedure should be performed. This is reported by the advice book, writes agronews.ua.
To increase the yield of potatoes, follow certain rules and tips.
Potatoes should be turned more than other vegetables. This will help increase the yield by 30%. The reversal is done at least twice a season. The procedure helps in the fight against the withering of the stems, water retention in the root zone and reducing the leaching of nutrients from the soil.
Pay attention to the condition of the plant and the stage of development. The first lifting should be done when the sprouts reach 10 cm. The procedure should be repeated in 2-3 weeks, when the stems grow to 20-30 cm. The third lifting is done before the beginning of flowering.
During flowering, weeding should not be done, because it negatively affects the yield. If processing was not done before flowering, do it after flowering.
It is not necessary to water the plants immediately after the procedure. However, you can mulch the rows so that the moisture stays longer in the soil. Use straw, hay or rotted sawdust.
