Shaanxi plastic water tank Manufacturer - Potatoes are usually grown directly in the field. If you choose potted cultivation, the harvest will be very small, and the potatoes planted will also be very small. However, if you master the following methods, you can also grow high-yield potatoes in containers. Let's see how to do it.

Shaanxi Plastic water tank Manufacturer - Potatoes are grown in plastic buckets at home. Of course, the bottom of the plastic water tank should be drilled. Cultivated soil is composed of compost soil and proper sandy soil. In addition, adding rotten organic fertilizer at the bottom of the pot can ensure the early growth of potatoes. After that, sufficient light shall be given every day, fertilizer shall be applied regularly and soil shall be covered continuously.

1. Plastic barrel for cultivation

Potato planting requires a deep container and a container of more than 60 liters. When farming, do not pile too much soil first, as shown in the following figure. After applying organic fertilizer at the bottom of the pot, cultivate the budding potatoes, and then properly cover the soil about 5cm. When potato seedlings grow up, they need to cover the soil with sawdust, hay or bark. The container must be well drained to avoid soil ponding. Some broken bricks can be placed at the drain hole of the basin bottom to prevent the drain hole from being blocked by soil.

2. Precautions for planting potatoes

Don't throw away the potatoes after they sprout. You can plant them in the soil. As long as they are properly maintained, you can harvest them in a few months.

First, select appropriate potato varieties and cultivate 2-3 bud eye potatoes. If there are too many potato sprouts, you can pinch off some. Too many buds will affect the yield.

When planting potatoes, the bud eye must be upward. After planting, the soil shall be covered. First, they should be kept in a cool place for a few days, properly watered, and then slowly see the light.

Potato seedlings need to be watered regularly to keep the soil moist and not wet, and the soil cannot accumulate water, otherwise it is easy to cause rotting roots.

3. How to improve the yield of potted potatoes?

During potato growth, it is necessary to put some hay or straw above the soil surface. The longer the rhizome is, the higher it is, and the bottom needs to be covered with soil. The soil is mixed with compost and humus, which can not only supplement soil nutrients, but also promote more potatoes to grow under the potato root.

In addition, pay attention to supplementing potatoes with direct light for more than 6 hours every day, keep the environment ventilated, and apply organic fertilizer and water thinly 2-3 times a month to promote high yield.

In addition, when cultivating flower buds on the branches and leaves of potatoes, it is necessary to pick flowers in time, which is also a way to increase yield, which is conducive to avoiding nutrient surplus and properly supplementing potassium fertilizer.

4. Potato yield and harvest

It's very convenient to harvest. When planting potatoes, the soil is only 25cm deep, but as the potatoes get higher and higher, they need to be covered with soil until the potatoes grow to the top of the container. When the leaves of potatoes begin to turn yellow, they can be ready for harvesting.
