If you plan to harvest a rich crop of root crops, then during the summer season it is worth assessing the appearance of the crop.

Sometimes, based on certain symptoms, one can correctly identify a particular serious problem.

Not all summer residents, for example, know why potato leaves turn yellow at the edges.

What does this mean?

If you have noticed this problem, then it is a matter of calcium deficiency, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer.

It is quite possible that the soil has depleted its available reserves of the substance. However, this is not the only reason for the calcium deficiency.

This can also happen due to several reasons: dry weather with high temperatures, lack of high-quality and timely watering, the initial quality of the soil, improper hilling, high acidity.

However, the solution to the problem will be the same in all cases: the potatoes simply need to be fed with any high-quality fertilizer that contains calcium.

After this, you need to try to care for the crop in accordance with the established rules.
