Processing potato tubers before planting: how to treat them against diseases and pests
This is one of the most popular crops in our latitudes.
It is difficult to find a vegetable garden that does not have at least a small bed of potatoes.
But in order for the harvest to be truly good, you need to think in advance about measures that will save the fruits from diseases and pests.
You can choose special preparations for treatment, which are easy to find in specialized stores. For example, "Fitosporin" can save you from diseases.
Experienced gardeners recommend paying attention to folk remedies.
It is enough to add mustard seeds and legumes to the hole to get rid of wireworms.
Egg and onion peels will also save you from this pest. This remedy should also be added to the hole when planting tubers.
You can pay attention to birch tar. The smell will scare away parasites. Some gardeners recommend pickling the seed material before planting in a solution of 10 liters of water and a tablespoon of such a substance.
