To grow up potatoes and to receive big crop, tubers of potatoes are couched on light, thanks to it shoots are noticeable week earlier, and harvesting for two weeks earlier, than at disembarkation of not sprouted tubers.
For landing choose only healthy tubers of potatoes. Experienced vegetable growers prior to the beginning of prorashchivaniye ret potatoes in water of room temperature for one hour. Such procedure is carried out in order that tubers could fill moisture which they loses in storage time. After that potatoes are spread in 1-2 layers in well lit room in small boxes or boxes, on floor, table or windowsill.
The recommended length of sprouts of tubers before the procedure of landing has to be 2.5 cm. Sprouts of potatoes have to be obligatory green. White they become at the shortage of lighting during prorashchivaniye. If tubers, after winter storage have sprouts, they should be broken off. To date of disembarkation in soil on their place under normal conditions prorashchivaniye will grow secondary sprouts.
When landing potatoes the distance between ranks makes from 50 cm to 70 cm. The distance between tubers among often depends on grade and the size of potatoes. Small tubers (15-25 g) have to be at distance of 10-15 cm, average tubers (mass of 30-45 g) - on 15-20 cm, and larger tubers (weight from 50 g) - on 25-35 cm from each other. Depth of landing of potatoes is from 6 cm to 8 cm. Before landing the potato tubers should be processed wood ashes (on 50 kg of potatoes of 1 kg of ashes). The first shoots, as a rule, appear approximately in two weeks after landing. For the first care for potatoes use the procedure of boronovaniye of soil by means of garden rake once to make the earth of more fluffy and to destroy weeds. During the vegetative period it is recommended to continue constant loosening after waterings and rains and also weedings. For creating favorable conditions to grow up potatoes and to reap good harvest, apply the following types of care for potatoes: loosening, earthing up, removal of weeds, various fertilizing, regular watering. Potatoes prefer the soft, nutritious and air-permeable soil. Therefore for the correct development of plants and increase in productivity of this culture, it is necessary to hill it several times. Earthing up is carried out by means of chopper after watering or rain that the soil became humidified and friable. Fertilizing is carried out three times during the season. Early fertilizing promotes good forming of tubers and taste of harvest.
