Many gardeners believe that to get a good potato harvest, it is enough to simply plant it, weed it from time to time and treat it for pests.
Alas, this is not enough. What needs to be done before planting potatoes to increase the yield, says the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
How to increase potato yield
Firstly, before planting, it is necessary to sort and remove bad planting material.
A few days before planting, simply place the tubers in a large container with a urea solution (one and a half kilograms of urea per 10 liters of water).
Rotten tubers will float, good ones will remain at the bottom.
We wash them with water and spray them with a growth stimulant and a disinfectant. The harvest will pleasantly surprise you.
