Increasing potato yield by 40% and at the same time increasing the size of tubers is a completely realistic task.
What needs to be done for this is explained by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
How to increase potato yield
Firstly, removing flowers significantly increases potato yields.
But you need to understand that this is quite a labor-intensive task. The method is suitable for those who have only a couple of hundred square meters under potatoes.
Secondly, you can increase the yield by applying certain fertilizers.
For example, foliar feeding with a solution of potassium monophosphate and boric acid (2 grams of boric acid and a tablespoon of potassium monophosphate per 10 liters of water) helps well.
Fertilizer is applied within two weeks after flowering ends.
