Getting a large and healthy harvest of delicious potatoes is impossible without using a few tricks.

The first thing that should be done, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , is to start sprouting the tubers.

This procedure is carried out 3-4 weeks before planting by evenly scattering the tubers over the container and leaving them in the light. Such stimulants as HB-101, "BIOSTIM", "Start" and others are used.

Before putting the sprouted tubers into the ground (the sprouts should be saved, without breaking them), the soil should be treated. The treatment is carried out by spraying with "Metarizin" 3-6 days before planting (add 5-10 g to 10 l of water).

Don't forget to loosen or dig up the soil, adding a deoxidizer to it.

The tubers themselves also need to be processed - the same preparation "Metarizin" is used, and fertilizers must be added to the planting holes. "OMU Potato" or "Fertika Potato" are in demand among knowledgeable gardeners.

To increase the yield, potato beds are sprayed with a product called "Emix Universal", which is specially designed for these purposes and also fights late blight.

This should be done after hilling the potatoes.

Finally, when the harvest is collected, treat the garden with Metarisin again, this time adding 5-10 g of the composition to 5 liters of water.
