This information was shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

According to the specialist, sodium chloride has a positive effect on the plant, significantly improving the harvest.

The preparation of the product is very simple: you need to pour 100 grams of salt into a bucket and fill the bulk product with water. There is no need to save the liquid: it should take up almost the entire remaining volume of the container.

The resulting solution should be used to feed the crop twice. First, after the first adult leaves appear, and then 4 weeks before the planned harvest of root crops.

Earlier, summer residents were told about a clever preparation , thanks to which all Colorado beetles disappear from potatoes within an hour.
