How to improve potato yield: pay attention to "auxiliary" plants
In the process of growing potatoes, it is important to follow a fairly large number of rules, despite the fact that this is a relatively unpretentious plant.
Don't forget about predecessors and so-called beneficial plants that nourish the soil before planting.
It is also important to prevent common diseases and pest infestations from entering the plantation.
Let us turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Which green manures are best for potatoes?
This category includes legumes, flax, cruciferous and borage green manure plants.
Experienced gardeners note that it is better to sow a mixture of crops under potatoes - a mixture of peas and barley is considered the most effective.
Phacelia together with mustard will help to deal with wireworms.
Cereals are not good neighbors for potatoes, as they attract wireworms. Alfalfa and sweet clover will fertilize potatoes no worse than manure.
