1、? Select soil
Potatoes like soft and fertile soil with good drainage and ventilation. The planting site must be in a sunny place, so that potatoes can receive at least three to five hours of light every day.
2、? Pick seeds
The most important thing to grow potatoes is to choose potato seeds, and good seeds can ensure the yield of potatoes. Therefore, before planting potatoes, we must select seeds and pick out some poor quality; The quality of potato seeds can be judged by the size and the thickness of bud eyes. Basically, they are all high-quality potato seeds, which are big, round and full of buds.
3、? seed treatment
Potato seeds are selected and germinated and then cut into small pieces to ensure that each small piece has a bud point. The wound should be dipped in plant ash to avoid infection and rot. If the whole potato seed is planted, a pit will produce many seedlings, waste seeds and affect potato yield. Therefore, it is suggested to slice potato seeds.
4、? Sowing and maintenance
On the selected land, every 15 cm, the buds face up, one by one on the soil layer, and then covered with a thick layer of soil. Because potatoes will turn over to expose the ground in the process of growing up slowly, the soil must be covered with a thick layer, about five centimeters or more, so that potatoes will not easily expose the ground. After covering the soil, it is not necessary to water it immediately, because the incision is easy to cause decay. In the early stage, we mainly rely on our own nutrients to sprout seedlings. If the soil planted is too dry, it will take three or four days to completely heal his incision before watering it.
5、? Sparse seedlings and topdressing after emergence.
After the potato pieces are planted, they will emerge in about 5 days. At this time, we don't have to worry for the time being, because the main nutrient source of potato seedlings at this time is potato pieces, so there is no need to rush to topdressing; When the seedlings grow to 10cm ~ 15cm, many potatoes may grow in a nest. We need to sparse the seedlings in time, cut off the weak seedlings in the same nest, and leave 1 and 2 strong seedlings.
