It is believed that if you feed potatoes during flowering, this can significantly affect their yield.

When the potato blooms, a protective skin begins to form on it, which protects the plant from losing useful elements.

For this purpose, it is better to use calcium nitrate, which will help to form the tubers correctly, protect them from cracking, disease and increase the shelf life.

It is not worth scattering it between the rows of vegetative potatoes, because it is not effective and relevant.

Such feeding can lead to low quality of the tuber. It will be tasteless and darken when cooked.

It is better to carry out foliar feeding of potato crops.

To prepare the product, dissolve 1 tablespoon of calcium nitrate in 10 liters of water and spray the potatoes when they bloom.
