Spring is gradually coming into its own, which means it’s time to take care of the future harvest, including potatoes.
Pre-sowing preparation is of great importance for obtaining the desired result in the form of a large number of large and tasty tubers.
The most important thing to do before planting the seed in the ground, according to experienced gardeners, is to do some landscaping.
Usually this operation is carried out in the fall, but in the spring you can also find a suitable time for this procedure in the general vernalization cycle of tubers.
To do this, dig up and dry potato tubers that you plan to use for planting and leave them in a lighted room for several days.
Important: potatoes should not be placed in direct sunlight; sunlight should be diffused.
Thanks to greening, you can increase your resistance to adverse environmental factors.
After this procedure, potatoes are less susceptible to attacks by pests and fungal diseases. In addition, they produce earlier and more powerful shoots.
