Some summer residents forget, but after flowering, the bushes also need to be looked after in order to increase the fruiting of the plants.

Rule number one

It is necessary to periodically inspect the plantings for diseases and pests in order to start the fight in time. If you ignore this rule, it is very easy to lose the harvest.

The tops should remain green for as long as possible.

For prevention, you can use Zircon or Fitosporin.

Rule two

The space between the rows should be mulched. If hot weather persists for a long time, it is necessary to water the plants.

Rule three

Periodically, you need to clear the beds of weeds, which dry the soil and take away nutrition from the potatoes. It is better to give preference to manual weeding rather than using chemicals.

Rule number four

Experienced gardeners recommend removing the ovaries on potato shoots to improve yield and prevent unwanted seed spreading throughout the plot.
