One simple trick – and in the fall you will harvest much more potatoes than you planted.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how to properly germinate potatoes to get a rich harvest. We advise you to write down all the tips so as not to forget anything.
Greening
Before planting potatoes, they need to be greened. This simple technique will help protect the future harvest from many pests, and all because the sprouted potatoes begin to produce solanine, which protects them.
To sprout potatoes, lay them out in one layer in a bright place and turn them over once every three days for two weeks.
Spraying
Before planting potatoes, be sure to treat the tubers with a special solution.
It is very easy to make: dissolve 5 grams of copper sulfate and 0.2 grams of potassium permanganate in 2.5 liters of water. This miracle solution perfectly disinfects tubers.
Germination
All that remains is to place the potatoes in nets and hang them in a well-lit place.
Leave it like this for 20 days to let the potatoes sprout. It is important to remember that there should be no more than 20 potatoes in one net.
