In the garden you can grow a variety of cultures, but the most popular is potatoes. But in order to achieve a good harvest from her, you need to work well and correctly perform all the necessary agrotechnical manipulations. About how to plant potatoes correctly, this article will tell.

The most important point in the cultivation of potatoes is the choice of the right sowing material. From how correctly the seeds were chosen and prepared, further harvest depends. After all, even if the landings' care was correct, it is difficult to get excellent root crops from bad seeds.

Preparing seeds to landing should begin in the fall, when harvest is harvested. Preparation of the sowing material is carried out as follows:

• first, vegetables must be sorted. For landing, you need to select smaller root roots, and large leaves for meals;
• choosing seeds follows from those bushes, in which potatoes were formed in maximum quantity;
• the optimal size of tubers for sowing should be 4-5 cm. This size is equivalent to chicken egg. The tubers are allowed a little larger size. They will ripen somewhat earlier, and will also give a little more crop;
• very large potatoes can also be used as seed material. It is worth noting that some varieties in this case will give a lot of small root root. It will be a significant overrun.

You can find information that potatoes cut into several parts can be used as a planting material. This option is possible, but only with a shortage of seeds of small diameter.

To obtain good harvest From pieces of tubers, before landing, they should be dried in the sun. The weather should be warm and dry.

In addition, part of the potatoes must be sprinkled with ashes. Remember that such a landing material can spoil rainy spring. This is due to the fact that the surface without leather is more susceptible to the negative impact of pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, fungi). As a result of the spring, such seeds rotate.

It is worth remembering that when planting a sliced \u200b\u200bpotato, the weather should be dry and warm. If it is raining, the risk is the risk that the chopped tubers are simply rotated in the ground, without giving any harvest or forming weak shoots.

Planting material can be bought in special stores or outlets. In this case, you should not give preference to super elite varieties. The fact is what they will give excellent yield Only in the case when the whole agricultural engineering is correctly recreated. At the same time, elite varieties are the most harvest.

Buying seeds in the store must necessarily ask the seller a quality certificate. This document should always go accompanied by varietal potatoes. If there is no quality certificate, then there is a risk of acquiring an infected planting material. As a result, the crop will be disgusting. At the same time, they will also have to carry out the procedure for disinfecting the soil to get rid of diseases and pests.

Some gardeners argue that the seed germs can be used as a landing material.

Before landing

Before planting, the planting material prepared in the right way is necessary to "awaken". This procedure is that before planting tubers should be labeled. For this, root plates are placed in a bright place. For example, they can be decomposed into the shade of trees or under diverse canopies.

Such a procedure will result in the seeds will begin to produce poison solonin. Thanks to him, potato tubers will be able to be stored much longer.

When landscaping roots, direct sunlight hitting them should be avoided. In this case, they will hand over poison and eat them in food will be dangerous to health.

After that, you can proceed to the procedure for the germination of potatoes. It should be carried out about a month (in some sources for 20 days) before landing in the ground. The germination of tubers is carried out according to the following scheme:

• initially, they need to be rinsed in a weak solution of manganese;
• after that, the planting material should be decomposed into one layer (maximum in two layers) by tanks. For these purposes, you can take wooden boxes;
• capacities must be placed in a bright room where the air temperature is at the level of 20-22 about C. Place the boxes in such a way that they do not get straight sunlight;
• in such a room, the boxes must have to sleep 2-3 weeks;
• then they are transferred to a cooler room with a temperature of about 10-14 o C. For these purposes, a glazed balcony is perfect.

Some gardeners claim to begin to germinate potatoes need in the dark. But in this case, weak and long sprouts are formed on the tubers, which can be easily injured or in general to break into the planting process. To have a good harvest, germinating the planting material should be carried out in a bright room. As a result, the sprouts will turn out strong, green and not very long (no more than 1-1.5 cm).

When germinating, potatoes must be moisturized. For this, the tubers are periodically turned over to different directions and spray with water. Moreover, spray the roots is needed every other day. For spraying, specialists are recommended to alternate ordinary water, a solution of mineral fertilizers and a solution of ash. Such an alternation allows you to minimize the risk of pathogenic microflora on the tubers. This is stimulated by the process of their germination. Remember that spraying solutions should be prepared immediately before use.

An excellent place to germinate potato tubers is a greenhouse. The planting material here should be laid on the straw litter. On top of root root polyethylene film. As a result, for seeds will be created the necessary conditions For quick and high-quality germination: sufficient humidity, as well as heat.

Preparation of place

Before growing in your garden, this culture, it is necessary not only to know how to plant potatoes, but and what place for it will be optimal.

For potatoes, the best suited and medium and light lung soils are best suited. It will also grow perfectly on forest and dried peat soils. At the same time, acidic and heavy soils are not the most the best choice For potatoes. In this case, to the ground, to improve its characteristics, it is worth making manure.

Choosing a plot for this garden cultureIt is necessary to take into account the rotation. At the same place to plant potatoes only after three years. Excellent predecessors for him will be the following vegetables:

• beet;
• cabbage;
• leaf vegetables;
• carrot.

It is necessary to prepare the soil itself. This will allow in the future to improve yield. For this purpose, fertilizers should be added to the ground. Typically, the first time they are made in the fall, when the entire harvest with the fields is assembled, and the vegetation is removed. The best way to fertilize the soil is the introduction of natural fertilizers into it, especially humoring.

To prepare the land for planting potatoes, it is necessary to make 10 liters of manure, which renounced. By step, you can add about 50 g of potash-phosphoric fertilizers.

It is worth noting that in the presence of acid soilsTo achieve excellent fruiting, it is necessary to limify. To do this, the soil should be made by one square meter 400-500 g of dolomite flour or lime.

If the autumn fertilizer was not introduced into the soil, then this procedure can be carried out immediately before landing material landing material. This procedure will be part of the site preparation.

Thus, the preparation of the place to land the potatoes is carried out according to the following scheme:

Please note that special attention in the preparation of the landing site should be given to low polling sites. In lowlands, you need to provide drainage through which the stock of excess water will be carried out.

But it is also necessary to remember that the preparation of the landing site should be carried out immediately before landing plant landing material:

• in the selected location, beds and wells are formed;
• at the bottom of each well, fertilizers need to enrich the land with the necessary useful trace elements, as well as to protect the root plates from pests. To increase yields, it is recommended to add wood ash and humus to the fossa (one handstone). You can make any other fertilizers;
• in addition to fertilizers on the bottom of the holes can be placed onion husk. Its smell will scare away from your landing of such pests, like a two-dimincture, a wire and a medical;
• after adding all components in the well, they need to mix well.

It is worth noting that some gardeners advise black beans into the wells. However, in fact, such manipulations do not always bring an explicit and positive result. Therefore, such a method knows and uses in practice.

When the seating material is prepared for landing, as well as the place is chosen correctly, you can proceed to the immediate planting of seeds into the wells. However, you need to choose the right time.

When to plant

One of the most important Moment Potato growing is the choice of landing time. Even if all the preparations were carried out correctly, the incorrectly selected landing time can cross all your efforts.

It is worth noting that the choice of landing time directly depends on both the variety of potatoes and weather conditions. At the same time do not hurry. It is better to wait for the moment when the weather was warm outside. But it is not worth it too much, as the land should not be very dry. Here, like everywhere, you need a golden middle. According to folk wisdom, club planting to the ground should be carried out when small leaves will appear on birch and popole.

Gardeners professionals argue that the ideal date for the landing will be the time when the soil at a depth of 10 cm warmed up to 10 degrees. At the same time, the temperature also should not fall below 10 o C.

You can find information that club landing occurs when strong sprouts have formed, and the soil warmed up to 6 o C. Although potatoes with this statements may argue. In this case, not always a planted tuber will germinate.

Technology landing

To plant a potato correctly and get a good harvest, you need to adhere to the specific plant landing material. The key to success in this situation will be the correctly selected landing scheme, which should be 80x35. This space between the rows will be quite enough to ensure that the bushes were comfortable. With more frequent landing, the bushes will shade each other. At the same time, they will be bad to ventilate, which can lead to phytoofluorosis. In such a situation, no qualitative impairment can be a speech.

The reduction in the gap between the plants is allowed only in a situation where the site has small sizes, as well as when growing early grades in the chernozem. In this case, the bushes form not highly high and powerful greens, which does not affect their yields. In this case, the distance between the rows can be not 80 cm, but 60 cm.

Variations are possible and with a distance between adjacent plants. If the planting material consists of small tubers, then the distance of 35 cm can be reduced to 20 cm. For early grades, this parameter can be 26 cm (approximately one and a half of the shovel). Late varieties will give a good crop when the breaks between the tubers is 30 cm.

It is worth noting that when growing potatoes on heavy soils, tubers are sitting at a distance of 45 cm from each other.

The depth of landfinding landfit is also important. The optimal blend them should be carried out by 7-10 cm. This parameter depends on the characteristics of the soil and the size of the planting material:

• large tubers should be deeper;
• small potatoes sledge closer to the surface.
• for the pulmonary soils, the depth of 10 cm will be normal;
• for clay and dense soils, the wells must have a depth of no more than 5 cm.

In the cooked wells to plant tubers need a sprout down. Under them, the land must be loose. When the potatoes are planted in the pits, the earth falls asleep from above and roll up with a rabel.

As you can see, grow potatoes are not so difficult.

Potato is an important component of the diet of Russians. This vegetable has long earned the respectful name "Second Bread". Him to panstone Grow almost all gardeners. However, many believe that care for potatoes is limited to planting tubers in the ground. This is completely wrong. To get a plentiful harvest, he needs to pay a lot of time and strength, as well as the rest of the garden cultures. There are interesting cultivation methods that allow you to save space on the site, and agrotechnical techniques that contribute to improving the yield of potatoes and the quality of tubers.

Suitable soil for potatoes

As a rule, the place under potatoes are discharged by the residual principle when best sites Already occupied by other cultures. Meanwhile, it is also worth listening to its "requirements", because obtaining a rich crop is possible only on a well-warmed by the sun light plot protected from cold winds.

The soil is best suitable for fertile, sufficiently light, transmitting air and water. A good option - Chernozem, podzolic or loamy soil, forest server. Acid-alkaline balance - within 5.5-7.5. Alkaline substrate potatoes does not tolerate categorically.

If the groundwater is suitable for the surface closer than 1-1.5 m, look for another place or construct high Grokes. The overwhelmed soil is strongly compacted, the tubers in it are formed small and watery. For the same reason, the lowlands will not fit, where cold wet air, melt and rainwater is forgotten for a long time.

Preparation of Grokery

Plot for planting potatoes is prepared from autumn. The soil is drunk to a depth of one bayonet shovel, choosing stones and rhizomes of weeds. Large wrenches of the earth are not broken, do not smash the bed. At the same time, fertilizers are made - overwhelmed manure or humus (7-10 kg / m²), superphosphate (30-35 g / m²) and potassium spit (10-15 g / m²). Instead of chemicals, you can take wood ash (liter can 1 m²). 2-3 weeks before planting potatoes, the garden once again dumps or deeply loose. Alternative - Locking under the winter of plants Siderats. In the spring, the greenery is mounted and closed in a ground to a depth of 8-10 cm.

In the process of preparing the garden, individual deficiencies of the soil can be corrected:

• Reduce acidity will help making dolomite or bone flour, wood ash, pushed chalk, raise - sawdust, fresh manure, peat.
• You can burst heavy soil with sand, perlite, vermiculite. Powder clay is introduced into the light substrate.
• It is possible to increase fertility, scattering on a stroke of a manure and slightly sprinkled with sand or peat crumb (layer with a thickness of 3-5 cm). It will attract rainworms processing the organic to useful humus.

Growing in the open soil

The way is well familiar with any gardener, but has its own nuances. The planting material necessarily disinfects and roames. All tubers are relected, where the slightest traces of damage to diseases or insects are noticeable.

The landing itself may be:

• Trench. The optimal option for the warm southern regions, especially if the soil is light, sandy. Tranche depth - 10-15 cm, the distance between them is 70-75 cm. Between the tubers are left at 35-40 cm. From the autumn on the bottom of the trench, they lay the "pillow" from the organic solutions, chips, sawdust, plant residues, reworked manure. Decomposing, it warms the soil, so potatoes can be planted 10-15 days before the usual.
• Smooth. The easiest option. The land is raised, potatoes are placed in the well sprouts and the soil falls asleep.
• Comb. The only option for sections with heavy damp soil is clay, or a peat. Minimum height Comb - 10-15 cm.

In any case, potatoes plant in wet soil. The depth of the wells from 4-5 to 10-12 cm. The easier the soil, the more deeper.

During the summer, potatoes watered three times - 12-15 days after the appearance of germs, during flowering and 18-20 days before the expected harvest. More often is not recommended - tubers can bend. The preferred method is drip or sprinkling. Watering in the evenings, then the soil is well loose and mulched in the aisle.

An important piece of plant care is an extract. The first time - immediately after the appearance of germs, the second - before flowing. Ideally, it needs to be done every time after the rain or irrigation.

On fertilizers, mineral or organic, potatoes react positively. Especially he needs nitrogen and phosphorus. Sufficient three feeding for the season. It is important not to exceed the recommended dosage manufacturer.

Under the film or underfloor material

Potato cultivation under the film helps to get ultra early yield Already at the beginning of summer, and in the northern regions and regions with a temperate climate - also to protect the landing from very likely return freezers. In the southern regions, it is planted in the first decade of March, in the rest - after 3-4 weeks.

Among the advantages of the method is the lack of need for a weeding, the acceleration of all phases of the plant development, forming a more powerful root system. Potatoes ripen 15-20 days ahead of time, blooms to mass reproduction of colorado beetles. Not devoid of the method and certain flaws. First of all, it is a high risk of developing rotten, difficulty with watering and the need to use only early grades. It is suitable, for example, Impala, Zhukovsky, Minerva, Riviera, good luck, bullfinch, Vyatka, forget-me-not.

For landing, only large tubers are used. They are used for 35-40 days to light, maintaining a temperature of 12-15ºС in the room. Once in 5-7 days the potatoes spray.

For a week-to-one and a half before the expected landing, tubers are bursting in boxes with peat, which are placed in a dark room with good ventilation. The air temperature is the same.

The place is chosen by the well-warmed by the sun and protected from the wind, where the snow is used before. Before falling down, the garden is spilled with a nutrient solution. On 10 liters of water, 30 g of potassium sulphate, 60 g of simple superphosphate and 1 g of copper sulfate are taken.

Potatoes are planted according to the usual scheme, the depth of the wells is 8-10 cm. Then the arcs of 50-70 cm with a height of 50-70 cm are installed above the garden, which is tightened with a film or other observing material. Although in principle, you can simply be seen a bed, carefully pressed around the edges.

Before the appearance of the sprouts, the design does not touch, then you can open a row on the day. Upon reaching the heights of 20-25 cm in a film with an interval of 10-15 cm in a checkerboard, holes with a diameter of 8-10 mm are done. 2-3 weeks after the appearance of sections, potatoes need to pour and make nitrogen-containing fertilizers. You can completely remove the film in the second decade of May. Further care is ordinary.

In greenhouse (including in winter)

In the greenhouse, within eight months a year, not only traditional potatoes can be cultivated with success, but also sweet (Batat). Landing care is minimal, yield - consistently high, the appearance of harmful insects is practically excluded. The best way For growing in the greenhouse, the rapid varieties are suitable. The disadvantage is only one - the high cost of maintaining a large heated greenhouse.

Plant potatoes at the end of summer or at the very beginning of spring. If this happens in November-December, it will also be required artificial lighting. Preparing potatoes to landing - normal. There are 20-30 cm between the tubers, between the rows - 50-60 cm. The depth of the hole is 5-7 cm. Large tubers are not cut, increasing the distance between them.

After landing, the beds are covered with a film, before the appearance of germs are not ventilated and do not watered. Very important maintenance optimal temperature During different phases of plant development. For the period of active growth, it is 18-20ºС, during the bootonization of 22-25ºС, for the tuberization - 16-18ºС. Caring for potatoes usual. With the slightest signs of the development of fungal or viral diseases, suspicious bushes are immediately removed. In the greenhouse they spread instantly.

In principle, potatoes can be grown in the unheated greenhouse, if they plant it in early spring (The duration of the daylight is at least 10 hours). The construction must be focused from the West to the East and have a pointed roof. After disembarking, the ground is covered with spunbond or Loutrasil.

Other methods

Many unusual planting methods of potatoes allow you to significantly save space on the plot. This question is especially relevant for the happy owners of traditional six acres.

In pit

The depth of the pit is about 50 cm, the diameter is 85-90 cm. At the bottom, the layer of humus with a thickness of 8-10 cm is poured, and 2-3 potato tubers are located at a distance of 25-30 cm. Then they fall asleep with the mixture of the same humoring or compost with the usual soil (1: 1). The thickness of the layer is 8-12 cm. As the tops grow, you need to constantly add a substrate until the pit is filled with home. Then the regular watering is very important. Productivity - potato bucket from one pit.

Slide or mound

The circle is drawn in a diameter of about 2 m. On them with an interval of 30-40 cm there are wells. A handful of ash, 10-15 g of superphosphate and potassium sulphate, then put on the bottom of the potassium. The Lutka falls asleep earth, as the holmik of the earth is formed with a hill of 40-45 cm. On his top is made of irrigation for watering. Root system Such plants are very powerful, so the harvest is abundant.

In barrel

High barrel is cut across 2-3 parts, placed in a sunny place. It is filled with a mixture of fertile soil, humus and compost. In each half, 3-4 tubers are planted. Very important irrigation, as the metal in the sun is heated greatly. Yield - bucket with one barrel. Instead of barrels, you can use bags, the same principle. Only in them necessarily do the holes for ventilation.

In checkerboard

Potatoes are planted with dual rows in a chess order. Distance between tubers - 25-30 cm. On the same area is 1.5 times more potatoes than when landing in a traditional way. A significant drawback of the method is difficulties in caring for a garden.

There are other methods that have positively affecting the yield:

• Method Mikhailova. Grown to a height of 30-35 cm shoots, with the exception of two-three, rejected into different directions from the center and the ground is sprinkled so that only the tops remain on the surface. They give new roots and, accordingly, new tubers. The very first potatoes are significantly increasing in size. During the summer, the procedure is repeated several times. The lack of a method is the problem of the care of the garden, especially if it is big.
• Gulich method. The garden is drawn into squares with a side of 1 m. In the middle of each, it is poured on 3-5 liters of overworked manure, the tuber is planted on top, the earth is satisted. To each run beats the soil, as a result of which they deviate from the tuber like rays. The substrate is falling into the center, due to this, additional underground shoots are formed. With such a "multi-tier" bush, under the condition of frequent loosening of soil and competent care, you can get 12-16 kg of potatoes.
• Pinto method. Suitable for heavy soils. The tubers are located in the crossroads of the grid, which appeared after drawing the bed along and cross the lines with an interval of 60-70 cm. Potatoes are slightly pressed into the soil, they do not fall asleep top. After the appearance of sections, the soil is sprinkled, but not plunged.
• Mittlider method. Potatoes are grown in boxes without bottom of about 20 cm. Length and width - respectively 3.5-4 m and 1.2-1.5 m. The drawers are filled with a mixture of sawdust and sand (1: 1) with the addition of dolomite flour (1 kg ) are applied ordinary fertilizer for potatoes. Soil feats further care It comes down to feeding and watering. Weeds in such boxes are practically no, the crop matures 10-15 days before the usual.

An old method - growing potatoes in straw. In the fall, the beds fall asleep with a thick layer, in the spring it is crushed, the tubers are planted, sprinkled with a rift compost, top with a layer of straw. Instead of extracting, it is repaired several times over the summer. The advantages of the method - saving time on the weeding and feeding, almost complete absence of a wire and a colorado beetle, accelerating the development of tuber heat from compost, very clean potatoes due to the fact that they are not in contact with the soil. The disadvantage is that in the straw they love to shave the mice, and get it in large quantities is difficult.

Growing mini tubers

Elite mini tubers are quite expensive pleasure, and the landing material tends to degenerate. Every 5-6 years, the yield and quality of tubers are sharply reduced. There are several ways to get them at home:

• From ordinary tubers. In the spring of the planting material, the healthiest and beautiful tubers are selected. They are left in the cellar or basement for all summer, once every 3-5 days spraying. By the fall, they will form developed roots, at the ends of which small potatoes will appear. Next spring They are planted in the ground, collecting the harvest of the category "Super Eli" at the end of the season.
• From cuttings. Cuttings - pieces of the middle part of the stem length 2-5 cm at least with one sheet. They are taken after flowering only with healthy bushes. For disinfection, they are 4-5 hours are immersed in a pale pink potassium permanganate solution, then planted in the garden somewhere in the shade. The cuttings are placed vertically, blocking the seat of the sheet for 1-1.5 cm. After 15-20 days, the sheet will start, but the mini-tube will begin in the sinus. After the month, they are digging them, they wash, dried, landslide and remove to store until spring.
• From the tops of the tubers. High-quality healthy tubers are selected from autumn. In the spring, they are cut off the upper third with growth kidney. It is placed a cut down into wet sawdust. After about 3 weeks, potatoes will give sprouts and roots. It is planted for a bed, drowning on 4-5 cm. Mini tubers will be formed by autumn.
• From sprouts. They carefully unscrew from the sprouted tubers, trying not to damage the origin of the roots, and planted into the ground, leaving on the surface not more than 1 cm. The sprouts once in 5-7 days feed, watering the influence of greenery, wood ash or biohumus. By autumn, tubers are formed.

How to get a big harvest

The yield of potatoes directly depends on the competent care of the culture. "The struggle for the crop" begins with the preparation of selected tubers to landing and ends with the placement of a new planting material for storage.

Predset processing of tubers

Disinfection of planting material is very important. Pulberry sprayed several times or 2-3 hours are soaked in a solution of garlic cashem (1 kg per 10 liters of water) or potassium permanganate (0.5-1 g per 10 l). If you add to the last copper Kuner (3-5 g) and boric acid (12-15 g), it turns out an effective means against most fungal diseases. And with carbamide (35-40 g) and superphosphate (50-60 g) - also good food.

You can only spray tubers on which there are no sprouts yet. If they have already appeared, the potatoes are 7-10 days (until the green shade is obtained) is left in the sun, and the concentration of substances in the solution is reduced by half.

For two days before landing, tubers with sprouts (without them - per day) are treated with a special nutrient solution. This increases yields by 10-15%. On a liter of water take 40 g nitrogen, phosphoric and potash fertilizers. The tubers are placed in a liquid for 15-20 minutes.

Another 10-15% yield will raise an incision on the tubers in the right place. The procedure, however, take quite a lot of time. Conduct it before the appearance of "eyes", about 6-8 weeks before landing. After each discrain made, the knife dipped into a bright pink solution of potassium permanganate.

• Deep transverse incision. The tuber seems to be divided along the axis, but not to the end, leaving the "jumper" with a thickness of about 1 cm. As a result, the sprouts are formed not only on the top, but also in the middle, and below.
• Ring incision. The tuber is caught around the circle to a depth of approximately 1 cm. With a transverse cut, the flow of nutrients is redistributed more evenly, the side and lower kidneys are stimulated. With longitudinal, all the power is sent to the top sponsors.

Video: Potato preparation for landing

Watering and making fertilizers

If there is such an opportunity, the potatoes are abundantly watered 2-4 times per season, spending 25-30 liters of water per 1 m². Especially he needs water during flowering. Such a procedure increases yield by 5-10%, tubers are affected earlier.

Sufficient three feeding for the season. The first time the fertilizer is brought under the bushes that have reached a height of 12-15 cm. They are watered with the infusion of nettle leaves or dandelion. Alternative - distribution in the garden of the mixture of humus and urea (15-18 g / l). Fertilizer fertilizer is enough for 3-4 running meters One row of potatoes.

The second feeding is carried out during the bootonization. 0.5 liters of wood ash and 50 g of potassium nitrates are distributed in a dry form in a dry form (the mixture is enough for 10-12 m of the row) or bred in 10 liters of water. An organic agent at this time is not introduced - you can provoke an outbreak of the disease or a sharp rise of weeds.

To stimulate the tuber formation in 10 liters of water, 40 g of superphosphate and potassium nitrate and 15 g of nitroposki are dissolved. On each bush consumes 0.5 liters of fertilizer.

Fighting pests

Insects, attacking plants, strongly weaken them, which cannot but affect the yield. Of course, chemicals can be used to combat pests, but their use is excluded 20-25 days before the estimated harvest and is limited to flowering time.

It is useful to add chopped egg shell and onion husks to the well when landing. This will scare up many pests, such as Medvedok.

On the perimeter of potato beds, small tanks are bought so that the upper edge is to be flown with soil. They are filled with bait - slices of carrots, swables, potatoes. Such traps are effective against the wire, nematodes, Colorado beetles.

You can land around the perimeter and in the aisle, if they are wide enough, any plants with a characteristic sharp smell - spicy herbs, velvets, nastures, calendula, wormwood. Many of them are good insights that attract the natural enemies of most pests - ladybugs.

Useful "grandfathers" tricks

There is a secret, open more than a century ago. After 2-3 weeks after flowering, the shoots are abundant at an altitude of 10-15 cm from the soil so that the stem remains as much, but no longer rose. The tops are not tugged at the same time, the process of photosynthesis goes fine, but nutrients, having reached the place of dome, redirected back to the tuber. But practicing it is only on healthy bushes.

When the Colorado Beetle is dominated, this procedure only hurts plants, they will remain defenseless in front of the pest, which has not yet been known in Russia, when the method was developed.

Early potato varieties with a growing season 45-60 days can be "used" twice. When harvesting is chosen only large tubers. Small and underdeveloped leave on plants, immediately instilled roots back to the ground. If good (5-7 liters of water) moisten the substrate in the hole, the bush will come true for about a week, and on the autumn it will be possible to assemble the second harvest.

Some gardeners advise to climb the buds and potato flowers. But a special increase in yield, as practice shows, it does not lead. But you can hurt the bush, the "meaning of life" of which is to give flowers and berries. Tubers for him - just a by-product of vital activity.

Potato landing under winter

Potato landing under the winter is a strictly regulated procedure requiring accurate rules to accurately. Otherwise, the landing material will just perish.

Optimal time For landing - any relatively warm (8-10ºС) day from the end of October until the beginning of November. It is important to choose the variety correctly. It must be a high-yielding, cold-resistant, undemanding to the quality of the soil, early or medium. It is suitable, for example, Nevsky, Santa, Slavyanka. Fortress, Margarita, Adret, Volzhanin, Impala, Everest. Potatoes are planted for winter, leaving 20 cm between tubers, between rows - 45-50 cm.

The selected bed is deeply loosen (it is better to even lean the tractor), while at the same time introducing a reworked manure or humid (7-10 l / m²) and the usual phosphoric and potash fertilizers for culture. After 2-3 weeks, the soil is deep (by 25-30 cm) loose. It is advisable to plant potatoes on a canopy slope so that the tubers did not hesitate because of possible abundant autumn rains.

The depth of the wells is very important. The usual 8-10 cm is completely insufficient. Even with moderate cold (about -15ºС), the soil freezes at 12-15 cm. But 25-30 cm is already a lot, under the thick layer of soil, large tubers are not formed. Accordingly, the optimal depth is 17-20 cm.

Germinate tubers for winter landing No need to cut - categorically impossible, but landscaping in the sun for two weeks is very useful. For half an hour before disembarking, they are sprayed with a solution of 10 liters of water Aktara (4-5 g) and Fundazola (8-10 g) to protect against pests.

After planting club, the garden is mounted with a layer of straw with a thickness of 8-10 cm. It is best to spend this procedure after the rain. As soon as snow falls for the first time, it is covered with any breathable material - spunbond, Loutrasil.

Early spring shelter is removed. Shoots should appear after 1.5-2 weeks. The crop is cleaned about 35-40 days after that. To speed up the maturation for another 7-10 days as soon as germs will appear, the bed is watered warm water And there are arcs above it, which stretch the film.

How to choose Side Plants

Siderats - plants positively affecting the fertility of the soil and yield. They are sown under winter, after harvesting, or early in spring, before landing the main culture. Greens that grew up to a height of 10-15 cm is mounted and close in the ground. The decomposing young plants enrich the substrate potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus.

In the last two potatoes need the most, so any legumes are suitable for him - beans, peas, alfalfa, Vika, Lupine. Rye and wheat - on the contrary, an unsuccessful choice. They improve soil texture, but simultaneously attract the wire. Plants from the family of cruciferous (rape, surepitsa, white mustard), on the contrary, they scare it. Against the Colorado Beetle is effective, against nematodes - clover. On average, 1,5-2 kg of seeds of seeds consumes 1.5-2 kg.

Competently using these plants, many shortcomings of the soil can be limited:

• Legumes are saturated with nitrogen soil;
• Conductors in combination with cereals prevent mineralization and acidification;
• Bean and cruciferous with clover, nasturtium, other blooming plants Protect from weathelation, help to fight weeds;
• Raps and Surepitsa increase the percentage of organic humus;
• Bean and leaf mustard are outstanding phosphates;
• Radish oilseed "delays" useful macro and trace elements in the ground;
• Bean and cruciferous improves soil aeration.

Dates and favorable days for planting potatoes

Often, gardeners in determining the timing of landing of one or another culture are oriented on moon calendar. But it is not always correct, because in different regions Spring occurs somewhere before, somewhere later, accordingly, the soil is heated at the same time. In addition, you can find various versions of the calendar contrary to each other.

Experienced gardeners agree that the potato landing at a decreasing moon has a positive effect on yields.

Do not hurry, planting potatoes before all. If the temperature drops below -3ºС, the tubers will certainly die. The substrate at a depth of 10 cm should warm at least up to 6-8ºС. You can focus on the flowering of dandelions, birch and cherry.

The landing date depends on the region. In the south of Russia, it is possible to start with the second decade of March, in the European part of the territory - from the end of April, in the Urals and in Siberia - from mid-May. In areas with temperate climates, planting potatoes after May 25 is late. This contributes to a sharp deterioration of yield.

Succent day choose, focusing on the following:

• the average daily temperature over the past week is not lower than 8-10ºС;
• the humidity of the soil for more than 75% (the Earth compressed in the fist is scattered by commits, but not dust).

It is unlikely that you can find a garden plot on which potatoes would not be grown. After reviewing the recommendations for the care of this culture, you can get a plentiful harvest of delicious tubers, without even spending the elite planting material. New cultivation techniques make it possible to significantly reduce the area of \u200b\u200bthe bed.

The most popular vegetable in the garden is potatoes. Do not know how to plant potatoes to be a good harvest? Today we will tell you how to plant potatoes in the garden correctly.

Answering the question "How to plant potatoes right?", I must say that, first of all, the amount of harvest depends on the quality and correctness of the preparation of seeds. To get a good potato harvest, it is necessary to make the most responsible approach to the choice of sowing material. After all, even when proper care for sowing the likelihood of receipt good root cornestods Of the low-quality seeds are negligible.

According to experienced agronomists, it is necessary to prepare seeds to land in the fall. Do not know how to plant potatoes and prepare sowing material? We recommend to your attention a number of recommendations regarding the choice and training of potato tubers for further landing:

• for the landing, telect small root roots, and leave large potatoes for eating;
• the optimal size of the root crops used for sowing is 4-5 cm;
• tubers, the size of which exceeds 5 cm, ripen a little earlier and give a richer harvest;
• choose seeds from those bushes where there were many root plates;
• larger potatoes are often used for sowing and growing future sowing material.

It should also be noted that some gardeners advise to plant not entire root roots, but pieces of tubers. Share with you some secrets, how to plant potatoes with pieces to get a good harvest. Remember the basic rule: landing should be carried out in a warm and sunny day. If it rains on this day, then the likelihood is high that the root crops are rotated in the ground from excess moisture.

After the potato for planting is selected and cut, carefully dry and suck it with ash. Do not forget that the surface that is not covered with peel is less resistant to fungal and bacterial infections. Get a rich yield delicious potatoes It is possible from seeds that are sold in specialized stores. However, we do not recommend plant super elite varieties of this vegetable culture, as they are very demanding towards landing and care.

Where and when to plant

Deciding when and how to plant potatoes, alone insist on early timing Planting, others recommend to plant tubers as long as possible. No specialist can be called a specific landing date of root, because a lot depends on the nature of the area, where the garden is located, as well as from the weather and climatic conditions of the region and the features of the potato variety. However, according to folk signs, if you do not know when and how to plant potatoes, wait until small leaves appear on the topolate, and the kidneys will dissolve on birch. You can also adhere to the so-called "three dozen" rules.

What is this rule, you ask? The soil at a depth of 10 cm should warm up to +10 ° C. At the same time, the air temperature at night for several days is held within +10 ° C.

Preparation of soil

Gathered to grow the growing of this vegetable culture at home? For this you need not only to know how to plant potatoes, but also be able to choose the ground for planting. Potatoes are best grown on a sugal or drunken ground. Also, this culture can be placed in the area, where forest or dried peat soil prevails. When choosing a land plot, it is important to take into account the crop rotation. The best predecessors are the following vegetable crops: Beets, carrots, leaf vegetables, cabbage.

To improve yield, it is necessary to pre-prepare the soil. As soon as the fields and gardens gathered the entire harvest and removed the remains of the plants, it was recommended to feed the soil with organic fertilizers (for 1 square meters. M It takes about 3-4 kg of organics). In the spring, complex fertilizers are added to the ground, which contain phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen. In the last decade of August under the garden, ammonia nitrate, granulated superphosphate or potash salt is made. After each feeding, the soil should be dragged.

Landing instructions

How to plant potatoes to be a good harvest? This question interests many gardeners, because everyone wants to collect a rich yield of delicious potatoes from his beds. Approximately 2-2.5 months before the planned landing date, wooden boxes with rootepods are moved to a warm and illuminated room, where the average air temperature is 20 ° C. Then tubers are transferred to a cooler room, where the temperature does not rise above 10 ° C. It is necessary to wait for eyes to appear on potatoes.

Immediately before the landing land, they are well drunk, form the beds and make fertilizers. The optimal rehabilitation of roots should be in the range of 7-10 cm. The depth of planting tubers depends on the size of the seeds, as well as on the characteristics of the soil. So, large potatoes can be satisfied with a little deeper than small. For a dense and clay soil, the depth of the bed should not exceed 5 cm, but for light soil is permissible to the level of 10 cm.

Potatoes are better to close in a pre-moistened soil. When landing, the roots are placed by sprouts down. Then the beds fall asleep the earth and smash the plot with robbles.

May holidays - perhaps best time plant potatoes. However, how to get a big harvest and preserve his taste, so that the neighbors are disgraced in the site? Here are three important rules. When is it better to plant?

1) The optimal time for planting potatoes is the end of April and the beginning of May. Previously, it simply makes no sense: all the forces of culture will come to germinate in cold ground.

In some, northern, regions, it is desirable to wait until mid-May - when the earth will dry and warms up to 10-12 C. What kind of potatoes plant?2) Potatoes for landing should be solid, medium size and with small eyes.

On the selection of seeds you need to take care in the fall: pay attention, what kind of potato gives a good harvest on your earth. For example, if pink - then and now put the same ...

And if the pink every year is worse, then this year replace it on another - white, for example. The good result gives the exchange of landing material with your neighbors or buying potatoes from other regions. Please put on only one grade - shortly. It is necessary to choose a few, and a different period of ripening.

In one year, the most yields are a ravenous variety, and in the other - late ... Usually, "on the food" put on the early potatoes, and the late varieties leave for the winter - they are better stored. How to plant?

3) Two weeks before landing, hold the tubers in warmth (in the light), and then cover the boxes with glass and transfer to the cool lighted room. To landing, they must have small greenast green sprouts. More than planted, make disinfection - place potatoes for half an hour in a single obese solution of boric acid.

Either, if you want to increase yield, soak it for a couple of days in a solution of manure. You can use the excellent reception of Bryansk vegetables, which make dual bedsticks of potatoes, instilled with overwhelming dung between them. The scheme is this: 40 cm between rows and 100 - between adjacent ribbons.

In a row, tubers are placed in a checker manner after 30-40 cm, and seedlings - one sprout after 20 cm. Little trick!

IN middle lane Russia Potato landing time is determined by birch leaves: as soon as they become the value with a five-fighter coin, then you can proceed to business. Take note: Early grades are matured for 56 days (luck, flight, spring, vineta, decima, fresco).

Medium - after 70 days (Sineglazka, Svitanok, Lacquer, Alice, Aspia, Mermaid, Riddle). Association - within 80 days (Prince, Spark, Agria, Belousovsky, Hermes, Nikulinsky). Medium Ampliance - will delight after 110 days (eagleok, weaving, symbol).

Planting potatoes.

All gardeners and summer residents are waiting for spring to start working on landing for the second bread - potatoes. This is the most popular vegetable that sacrifies us all winter.

I want to collect a good harvest, so that you can calmly meet the winter is not experiencing what to file to the dining table than feeding a family and preferably to be grown own hands On his land, not from the market. But here you need to know how to properly grow this not cunning vegetable. After all, it seems to many that there is such a difficult?

What landing potatoes is a day trifle. Grokes stated, made the holes, threw potatoes, buried, wrapped, and wait when he germinate, and then dug and everything was doing. But it's not so easy to get a good potato harvest, with no big labor costs, and even with a large plot of land.

Time for planting potatoes.

In the spring, after the earth dries and warms, the time of the soil at a depth of 10 cm. It will be + 8 ° C, you can start landing. It is possible, for a guideline, to determine the duration of landing on birch leaves. If the leaflet size is already with a penny - the time has come to plant potatoes.

If you wish to get an early harvest, the tubers by this time must first germinate. But here it is necessary to pay attention to the peculiarities of the local climate. You can not give one template to all regions, as the cold can return, and the night frosts will damage the shoots and cause damage to harvest.

How to plant potatoes.

When landing, you can delimit the places of future potatoes bushes with the help of the thread. Depending on how far the groundwater is far away, the planting method is selected. When the groundwater is far from the surface, then it is necessary to plant in the wells:

1. The ranks should be 60 to 80 cm; between the tubers there should be a distance of 30 cm; planting a depth of 6 - 10 cm; after planting the soil to dissolve rabls to avoid evaporation of moisture.

With the close arrangement of groundwater, put the potatoes better in the ridges height about 15 cm. This way of planting allows the soil to warm up and ventilate much faster. Combs are located at a distance of approximately 60 - 70 cm.

The tubers are located at a depth of 6 - 8 cm. In the area, the groundwater level is very close to the surface and soils are wet, then for the landing it is necessary to make wide beds with a height of up to 30 cm. Potato stains to plant in bed in two rows with a distance between rows 70 centimeters And between tubers from 25 to 40 cm (depends on the size of the tuber). The distance from the edge of the garden to a row should be at least 20 cm. In this article, the question was disassembled how to plant potatoes and when it can be planted.

This is done so that in the spring there is less herb - the roots remaining at the top are freezing and weeds die. It is also necessary to make manure or humus, add the asset from the calculation of 1 kilogram per hour.

To avoid the emergence of various diseases, fresh manure with spring landing Potato is not recommended. It is not recommended. From the end of April you can start landing work. By this time, the first leaflets appear on Birch, the soil creates and the air warms up to 10? 15? C. Quickly two weeks before landing selected for this purpose germinate at a temperature of at least 15? C.

After the appearance of sprouts in 1 cm long, the seed tubers are kept for one day in the light. Of these seeds, it develops by 10% more stems than from the planting material without sprouts. After which crops it costs to plant potatoes?

Compliance with the rules of agrotechnology is the key to good crop potatoes. Experts advise him to plant on the lands that were previously used to plant other rootepodes, cabbage, mustard.

You should not cultivate potatoes after tomatoes: those and others belong to the Parenic family, which is fraught with their defeat with the same diseases. What depth you need to plant potatoes?

There are many ways to plant potatoes, their choice depends on the features of the relief land plot, climate, personal preferences. - On small vegetables Until now, potatoes are planted in the old manner - under the shovel. This method is quite acceptable on light soils, where the soil waters never rise to the surface.

Manual potatoes are recommended to plant a conventional bayonet shovel on the depth. - On wet soils, the method of planting potatoes height at 15-20 cm has been well established on wet soils, they are cut with a tractor or garden machinery. - When planting potatoes in trenches, the shallow grooves are pre-prepared (about 10 cm), which are laid out by a layer of humus. The tubers are plunged on both sides until the crest is formed by a height of 10 cm and a width of 20 cm. The popular way to plant potatoes "under the Solom" is practiced on virgin lands.

In this case, nothing needs to be draped - potatoes are covered with a thick layer of straw, constantly adding its amount depending on the growth intensity of shoots. How to choose the right planting potato grade?

Rich potato harvest can be obtained only when using high-quality planting material. In addition, it is necessary to periodically change the varieties, many of them become unproductive after two? Three years.

It is better to cultivate several varieties of potatoes with different trimming times. Preparation of potatoes for planting starts from autumn - selected only unaffected diseases and typical tubers for this variety. It is desirable to rinse them and treat a weak solution of manganese.

Then the landing potatoes are dried in air before purchasing a greenish tint. Store until spring in the basement. best varieties Potatoes for landing, it is worth determining which one is the purpose of planning to grow this culture: for quick use or for storage.

Also be sure to pay attention to the zoned varieties suitable for the soil of your site. All varieties of potatoes are classified in maturation time. - Rangers - the harvest is assembled no later than 80 days after landing.

Popular varieties: "Zhukovsky", "luck", "Fresco". They possess excellent taste, but are not suitable for long-term storage. - Associated varieties usually ripen for three or three and a half months, they are well stored until the spring.

Popular varieties: "Sineglazka", "Yuvinka". - Late-weighted varieties are cleaned in the fall, they are perfectly lying down to the new harvest. These are such varieties like "Temp", "Belorussky-3", "Chugun", "Mountaineer". If you would venture to plant potatoes under the winter, then you will get a unique opportunity to please yourself with ultraarm crop this nationwide culture.

So: - choose a well-lit place near buildings; - Carefully remove weeds and fertilize the soil; - In the middle of summer, we plant one potato in each well, water; - periodically wean and loose soil; - Before frosts, cut the tops, cover the plants with leaves, straw, sweetheart; - in winter, watches so that the landings are reliably covered with snow. It is that the likelihood of harvesting from potatoes planted under the winter is 50%. Good luck!

Secrets of successful gardeners

How to grow a good harvest of potato accommodation: 7

About how the depth to plant potatoes, how to get the earliest harvest, as well as how to deal with the Colorado beetle and the phytoofluoro.

Siderats. Potatoes on poor earth

The readers of "Komsomolskaya" told the Senior Researcher at the Potato Protection Department of the Scientific and Practical Center for Potatoes and Fruit Training Denis Ilyashenko and Head of the Selection Department Vadim Mahanko.

Potatoes can not be squeezed deep- Tell me, what depth you need to plant potatoes? - If the soil is dense, then at a depth of 5 centimeters, if the lightest is 6 - 8 cm. In no case do not need to deeply lower the tuber, it is a very big mistake.

First, the tubers need a lot of air, and there it may not be enough. Secondly, the tuber in this case will germinate for a long time, and a lot of energy is spent on it. The faster the potato will go - the more the crop will be.

- And in what time frame is best to plant?- For Minsk district, the optimal period from April 25 to May 9th. In the southern regions of Belarus, it is necessary to plant a little earlier, in the northern a little later.

The general rule is: the soil is ready for planting potatoes when it warmed at least up to +8 degrees.

- How do you need to treat seminal potatoes before landing? - It can be treated with stimulants of growth - the drugs "Ecosil", "Ecoleist", "Epin". - And cut the tubers on the part or do not do it better? - Of course, cutting it is undesirable.

If you plant potatoes in not breathing the soil, it can get sick. In addition, the varieties react differently to cutting. Sometimes even absolutely healthy tuber can be controversial. True, in the USA, Canada and Japan, potatoes are cut into parts.

But they have other conditions, there is very dry. And in Europe, potatoes do not cut. First harvest can be obtained by mid-June - How to get the earliest harvest?

There is a good proven way. It is necessary to germinate potatoes longer than usual: that the sprouts reach 5 - 7 centimeters and leavers have already appeared on them. But it is necessary to plant such potatoes in a well-swollen soil.

Make guar from the film: First, cover the landing with a black film, and when shoots will appear, replace it with transparent. In this case, you can get a crop three weeks earlier than usual (if, as a rule, the first potato harvest is collected in late June-early July , then you will have a potato on the table by June 12th!).

Potato need a lot of air- Hello, I want to grow good potatoes! - What do you advise?- To get a good harvest, you need to perform only three conditions.

First: Choose a variety that grows well in your area on your soil and like you personally. The second is to comply with the technology of cultivation, that is, give a potato everything that it requires. Third - to plant the seeds of good quality.

And you will not know where to give your potatoes! - What should be the technology of cultivation?- One of the main conditions - the soil should be loose. Potato need a lot of air!

Giveness should be done at least once a week and a half. If the soil is severe, it must be repaid from autumn, and in the spring to be unfolded, declined.

You need to make fertilizers: if you do not have the opportunity to make the organic, we recommend using Siderats - radish oilseeds, mustard. They are sowing in the fall, and spring is planted. Potatoes will receive additional nutrients, and the soil structure will be better.

Another important condition - Potatoes must often watered, he loves water. But it is not necessary to pour on a plant, but in a furrow. And, of course, you need a complete dose of mineral fertilizers - nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium.

Please note that if you use the inhale form of potash fertilizers, then taste qualities will be better. If you use potassium chloride, it is better to bring it from autumn so that chlorine washed away. Cure the phytoofer can not be warned

It is necessary to plant potatoes into a warm soil.

- Does the potatoes be treated with chemicals to protect against disease and pests?- Very big harvest without the use of chemicals you will not be able to get.

When to plant potatoes in 2011?

Still, there is such a terrible disease for potatoes as phytoofluorosis, and on industrial landings, we recommend making up to five treatments for the season to protect against this disease. - What advise to handle plants from phytoofluorosis?

Preparations "Pencocelebe", "Ditan", burgundy liquid. The first processing can be made when the plant grows up to 10 - 15 cm, then a week later the processing is repeated. Please note that these drugs do not treat, but prevent diseases.

To cure the phytoofer while, unfortunately, it is impossible for nothing. - I have a small plot under Begmal. Already that year, potatoes are struck by cancer. I can not do anything, I change the variety, but the disease still appears.

it dangerous diseaseYou need to inform about it to the State Inspectorate for Seedrymovia, Quarantine and Plant Protection by phone 288-88-10, 288-18-94. Experts conduct accounting of foci of infection with this disease.

To protect such sites, special activities should be carried out: crop rotations must be observed, the varieties resistant to cancer should be used, in no case can be taken out of such a plot ... - Thank you, I will call.

How to defeat the colorado beetle- How to deal with the colorado beetle? Maybe new effective means? - You can use the preparations "Aktara", "Mospilan".

The beetle is already used to the old drugs, and in these means there is new active ingredients that act quite effectively. But it is still very difficult to fight the colorado beetle, he quickly populates new spaces.

For example, if before the northern border of his distribution was the Pskov region, great bows, now he has already advanced to Peter. And there was literally 10 - 15 years!

By the way, for America, the beetle is not a problem, he has its natural enemies there - microorganisms, some birds. But for most birds, this beetle is tasteful. In Belarus, no bird touches him.

- How to deal with a wiretop? - It is necessary to use bait crops (corn or grain planted about a month before the planting of potatoes, and after 2 - 3 weeks, shoots on which the wire is collected).

For etching, you can use the prestige preparation. Be sure to often process the soil, there should be no weeds on it. In addition, the wire does not like oilseed radiation.

Sit down, follow the crop rotation. - Is it possible to do without organic fertilizers? - Can. In our center, we have been growing potatoes for about ten years without organic fertilizers.

But we use green fertilizers - oilseed radar, mustard, rape. In principle, you can grow potatoes and on mineral fertilizers Provided that the soil is fertile. The classical nitrogen ratio is phosphorus - potassium - this is 1: 0.8: 1.2.

- What sprinkle potatoes before booking for storage?- Food potatoes are not worth handling. And the seed is enough to naply on a neurocale sun and put on storage. It is important that the potatoes are well ventilated when stored.

- What kind of potatoes are best suited for frying?- There are culinary types of potatoes: A, B, C, D. Potato type A is not welded, in - lightly cracks, it is welded, D is sharp by very much.

What new potato varieties appeared in Belarus?Every year on tests are transmitted from one to five new varieties. "Uladar" - early grades. When cooking slightly cracks (type B). Resistant to potato nematode and potato cancer.

It grows well on the lungs and medium in the composition of the soils. "Western" - Late variety. Raw (type B, C). Resistant to potato nematode and potato cancer.

The average resistance to phytoophluorosis and the passage. Suitable for growing on all types of soil. "Lie" - Early grade. It is distinguished by unique resistance to phytoophluorosis tubers. It is not welded (type A, B), you can fry straws.

"Mag" - Medium-sorted variety, well rolled. Resistance to phytoophluorosis of leaves and tubers average. It grows well on the lungs and medium in the composition of the soils.

"Ragunda" - one of the most urban varieties. White flesh. Good resistance to phytoophluorosis. "Accent" - Late variety. Large tubers.

Good commodity view. Sustainable to the phytoofluoride, potato cancer, black leg on tubers, well stored. Suitable for growing on all types of soil. "Yanka" - Mid-line variety. Tubers of beautiful oval shape.

White flesh, boils. High resistance to viral diseases, medium - to a seamless, black leg, phytoophluorose leaves and tubers. Climb flowers on potatoes do not need!

Specialists comment on readers adviceReaders of "Komsomolskaya" told us what they do in order to get a good potato harvest. We asked specialists to comment on these tips.

"Before gentle, I pour water in Welder, add two caps of peat oxidate, mangalling and ash and soak on 1 to 2 hours. Then dried potatoes.

Each potato chopping in the middle so that the eyes are on each half of the potatoes, then lay out in the drawers from under fruit and fall asleep the earth ... When shoots appear, it appears when the flowers appear - we appear. "

Potatoes in Russia began to grow with light hands Tsar Peter the first. It was unlikely that the Russian emperor was supposed to be then that this vegetable on the tables of the Russians is one of the main products and that the Russian people will learn to skillfully grow and receive a rich harvest.

What is the seed - such a harvest

To plant potatoes, you need to prepare in advance. Any gardener knows why it should be done. When we plant something, we always put a goal - to get a good harvest, but such a harvest, so that it is ashamed for him. And the most important thing is that the crop reserves are enough for a long time. Better - until the next harvest. It is worth paying attention to seeds for planting potatoes. It is very important because only from good seeds You can get a rich harvest. Seeds to landing are preparing in autumn while cleaning potatoes, laying the tubers for landing for future spring.

Pay attention to the bushes that gave the most high yield Potatoes. For landing, small root root is suitable. The size of one potato should be a magnitude with a chicken egg. But it is impossible to forget about the tubers of a large size, since you get a harvest from them much more than from small potatoes. And matures such potatoes faster. But do not forget that the use of large potatoes for landing is unnecessary costs. So stop at the very optimal option - on the tubers the magnitude of the egg.

It is possible that when planting potatoes, you can encounter a small problem - the seed may not be enough. Do not be upset - there are no hopeless situations. Here it is impossible to be large tubers. We cut them in half, paying attention to that at least one "peephole" to be at least one "eyes", from where the sprouts should go.

In the solar, warmer weather do not forget to dry the seeds in the sun. This will provide a good harvest.

If you buy seeds in the store, demand a quality certificate from the seller. If he cannot present such a document, it is worth thinking whether you will get a good harvest. Such a landing material is extremely undesirable, as various microbes can get into the soil.

Before boarding, potatoes must be held in the light. As you know, it is the best way In order for potatoes from greening. We know that in food "green" potatoes cannot be eaten, since in such tubers there is a poisonous substance Solanin, but when landing, the potatoes are very useful - it will protect our planting material from pests and rodents. This procedure must begin thirty days before landing in the ground. First, we prepare a weak solution of mangartage and rinse potato tubers to protect against disease. Then we launch planting potatoes on wooden boxes.

Some gardeners adhere to the opinion that the potatoes need to germinate in the dark. But this is an erroneous look, because the potato sprouts will be long, but unnaviable and when landing will easily break. But in the light (truth, you need to avoid direct ingress of sun rays), yes when warm temperature In the room, potatoes completely warmly green. Yes, even if you are for the best tuber effect, you will turn over from time to time, they will turn on it evenly. At the same time, the appearing sprouts will be thick and strong.

So, our planting material is ready.

Preparing the soil

And whether you took care of soil fertility, where are you going to grow potatoes? Do not forget that it is necessary to take care of it from autumn when you removed the harvest. To enrich the soil tired for the summer, it must be filled with fertilizer. The best and natural is manure. Ten liters of rewinding manure is quite enough for one square meter. Packet will need about fifty grams of potash-phosphoric fertilizers, which need to be made in August-September. One square meter must be made thirteen grams of ammonium nitrate.

Dropping the earth from the autumn, do not try to break the earth lumps. Autumn rain and snow will make it for you, and the earth will become soft.

Do not forget to stock ashes. Ash, wood burning product, is the best fertilizer for potatoes, as it contains a wide variety of trace elements, required plants: Potassium, calcium, phosphorus and others.

Time to plant

Now it has become very fashionable to plant vegetables very early. Warmed slightly at the end of April - and the owners of garden and garden sites are thrown into the battle for the harvest. They are planted, and then after the first frosts of the elbows bite: disappeared, they say, seedlings, tomatoes ... Hurry in this matter is not an assistant. Here the potato has its own dates of landing, which is better to adhere to, especially since 90 days are enough to ripen this popular and nutritional vegetable. So you have time to collect a harvest, even if you plant potatoes at the end of May.

Before starting to plant potatoes, you need to know the air temperature at which landing is possible. The air temperature, which is favorable, not less than ten degrees Celsius.

Technology landing

Having made a hole, do not forget to make it fertilizer to protect against pests and to improve the quality of the soil by trace elements. To improve the harvest, add one handful of humus or wood ash into each well. You can also use onion husks as a fertilizer. Pests in your garden will become less.

After you put all the components in the well, you need to stir them. And only then plant potatoes. Looking ahead, I will say that one of my good acquaintance for planting potatoes belongs to this way. For her, this is a whole art. At its site, the area under potatoes occupies quite a bit. But but the crop she gets a shame. With each bush, almost on the bucket is the norm!

If the soil is more dense, then the depth of the holes should be five centimeters. Squeeze tubers down sprout. At the same time, the earth must necessarily be loose. Potatoes are planted in a hole, Supil of the earth and take a rake to align the soil.

The most popular and easy way to plant potatoes is "under the shovel". One person digs the wells, and the other throws the tubers in the wells, and adds fertilizer, for example, manure or urea. To close the tubers, you will need a depth of size not more than 17 cm. This method is very convenient to plant potatoes on little plot, the convenience of this method is that it saves labor and landing in this way will be very high quality.

The following way, or planting technology, is the "Dutch" technology. Landing occurs as follows: A number of approximate depth of about 20 cm are digging, the potato tubers are located at a distance of about 20 cm. From each other, it all depends on their volume, then the beds are buried.

However, everyone has its own way to plant. Although it would seem how to diversify this process? Someone puts the tubers right in the furrow, determining the distance between the tubers. Others belong to the landing more scrupulously: measure the distance, trying not to retreat from measured centimeters. Then shoots are friendly and smooth. To do this, you can measure the required size of the rope (I propose 30 centimeters - such a distance will be between the wells in one row) and tie the ends of this rope to the two wands.

When landing pull the rope along the landing row, dig a hole near one of the sticks, then near the other and gradually rearing the sticks, complete the landing of the row. Say, too scrupulous? But what are the friendly and even, all that will be proud of themselves! In the same way, the distance between the rows can be diminished. Only I would suggest it to increase centimeters to 60. Although, if you have a small plot, you can slide somewhat somewhat. The bushes are formed not very high, and this does not affect the crop.

On the fight against the enemy from Colorado

Another twenty years ago, potatoes did not know special concerns during the cultivation of potatoes. In the spring, the tubers were planted in the prepared ground, then when potato sprouts achieved sufficient size, they were plotted, and the crop was collected in the fall. But about twenty years ago, a serious enemy appeared from the Russian potato - the Colorad Beetle. Do not come down in time - all efforts when landing will disappear and you can stay without a crop.

Therefore, to protect yourself and facilitate the care of the potatoes during its growth, when landing is not bad to use special means of type "Prestige" and "Commander", which will help at least blossom to get rid of the invasion of the Colorado enemies of potatoes. The use of these funds is not difficult: before boarding the tubers, the solution of the drug is simply lowered into the instructions prepared according to the instructions and stained tubers in the ground are planted. Tested: at least half a summer will live calmly. And when potatoes will flash, he has no colorado beetles scary!
