Instruction
1. To receive good harvest of potatoes, it is necessary to know and follow some rules and methods of leaving. Seed material select on storage and on landing only healthy, discarding sick tubers. Otherwise all harvest will be infected. And if it is about phytophthora, then such harvest is practically not subject to storage.
2. Prorashchivaniye. In the spring obligatory put boxes with seed material to the warm place on prorashchivaniye as tubers "single", that is such which will not give shoots can get. After prorashchivaniye surely touch the received seed material and leave only those tubers which have strong thick shoots. They will create then escapes.
3. Grades. At selection of seed material it is necessary to adhere to the recommendation – all seed material has to be spread out on grades. Otherwise landing in the form of "mix" will sharply lower harvest.
4. Landing. Try to put in the early spring, for the present the earth keeps enough moisture. The later potatoes will be landed, the lower the harvest will turn out. Whenever possible observe sign which still our ancestors used: it is impossible to put in full moon and new moon, but it is necessary to be engaged in landing on the decreasing moon.

The most important in processing is earthing up though many do not observe this stage. Ideally it is necessary to carry out 3 earthing up for that period while potatoes grow and gains strength. The first time is hilled after the plant has risen by 15-20 cm. It gives intensive forming of additional escapes, so, and formation of new tubers.
6. Pest control. It is ideally better to struggle with Colorado beetle manually, that is every day (in the morning and in the evening) to pass with ware with wide low edges (for example, basin) across the potato field and to shake wreckers. Larvae need also to be collected from leaves, without allowing exit from eggs of new individuals. If there is no such opportunity, then it is necessary to process plantation medicines which efficiency is effective only one year, and then there occurs accustoming. It is also necessary to consider that after some means potatoes become fruitless. Following normal, traditional rules of leaving, it is possible to receive big crops, then potatoes dishes will please all winter.
