Rules for planting potatoes in Belarus
Planting takes place from mid-April to mid-May. The timing depends on the weather and variety. At the time of planting, the soil should warm up to 6-8 °C to a depth of 8-12 cm. When planting in April, the bed is covered with a dark film, since night frosts occur at this time.
The soil is prepared in the fall. The selected area is dug up, all weeds and stones are removed. Manure or mineral nitrogen fertilizers are applied. In the spring, the soil is dug up again. Choose a well-lit place, with airy, loose soil, without frequent flooding.
Beds are formed on the site and holes are dug for seed material. On dry soils, the depressions are made at 8-10 cm, on wet and heavy soils - 5 cm. The seeds are distributed at a distance of 25-30 cm from each other. Between the beds - 50-60 cm. Potatoes are also planted according to the “ridge” pattern. Make narrow beds and place the seeds at the end. This ensures the drainage of excess fluid. The seeds are buried in soil, and the soil on the surface is leveled with a rake.
Further care
Potatoes are a drought-resistant crop. Water it three times a season. 3 liters of water are poured onto one bush. The first time after the sprouts appear, the second time when they grow to 20 cm, and the third time two weeks before harvest. During drought, the amount of watering is increased.
Be sure to carry out weeding and loosening of the soil. This provides additional oxygen supply to the tubers.
Hilling of shrubs is carried out to preserve moisture at the roots. This helps to increase the number of fruits, as well as improve their quality. The first hilling is carried out when the tops above the soil reach 20 cm. The bush is sprinkled with soil so that 2-3 pairs of leaves remain. The second is carried out two weeks after the first, and the third three weeks after the second. Harvesting is carried out after the tops turn yellow and dry out, and the root crops can be easily separated from it. Digging is carried out in dry weather.
