The starch content of potatoes is a very important indicator.
If the tubers have too little starch, their taste qualities are not the best.
Fortunately, there are fertilizers that, when applied, will help to moderately increase the percentage of starch in potatoes.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about the life-saving means.
How to feed potatoes to increase starchiness
In order to become starchy, tubers need phosphorus.
Thus, almost any phosphorus fertilizer will come to the aid of the summer resident.
The selected product must be applied during planting.
Fertilizer consumption should be approximately 10 grams per square meter.
It is worth emphasizing that although this approach increases the starchiness of potatoes, it does not make this figure too high.
The amount of starch does not become excessive, due to which nightshade remains safe for human health and completely suitable for consumption.
Earlier, summer residents were told how to plant potatoes in an abandoned plot.
