That country hundred parts yielded good harvest of vegetables, it is necessary to fertilize kitchen garden systematically. Especially this statement is right for potato as this culture is very sensitive to structure of the soil.
Types of fertilizers
The main fertilizer allowing to increase productivity of potatoes – organic. For this purpose use well rerotting manure, peat and compost in large numbers. Norm of introduction of the rerotting manure: up to 400 kg on hundred part. The form and time of fertilizer is of great importance. The most optimum way – entering of humus into the soil in the fall after harvesting. In this case it is necessary to scatter it on the surface of the soil and to plow up the site. It is necessary in order that from fertilizer moisture was not lost, as dried up and also fresh manure cannot be dissolved in the soil.
This way of fertilizer the simplest and effective, but not all gardeners can afford it therefore for increase in productivity it is possible to use also other methods. When landing potatoes it is possible to bring in the soil on handful of humus, ashes and pinch of complex mineral fertilizer directly in holes when landing. In this case roots will get access to power supply at once that will stimulate the good growth of plants and the productivity of bushes will raise.
If there is no opportunity to bring manure from pets, it is possible to use vegetable compost, bird's dung, wood ashes and also peat for kitchen garden fertilizer. Norm of introduction of wood ashes: from 20 kg on 100 sq.m. For improvement of sour peat soils under redigging it is possible to bring lime slaked lime, bone meal and mineral potash, nitrogen and phosphoric fertilizers: superphosphate and nitrophoska.
How to introduce fertilizers
That influence of fertilizers was more effective, it is necessary to bring them in stages: partially at autumn and spring redigging and also to use for fertilizing of potatoes during vegetation. Nested introduction of fertilizer is recognized agronomists as the most effective and economic way of increase in fertility of the soil, allows not only to achieve good productivity of potatoes, but also to improve its flavoring and quality characteristics. You should not use at the same time all listed fertilizers, especially careful the nitrophoska needs to be at introduction. If there is no sufficient experience in its application, plants can easily do much harm. On excessively fertilized and greasy soil potatoes actively increase green material, and development of tubers significantly is delayed, at the same time the productivity decreases, and the soil is exhausted. It is better to begin with entering into the soil when landing humus and wood ashes – these fertilizers are used for centuries, without doing harm to either the earth, or plants. Skillful use of organic and mineral fertilizers significantly increases efficiency of the garden site, allows to receive good harvests of potatoes at quite moderate costs of fertilizers. Besides fertilizers, the productivity of potatoes is affected significantly by quality of care after its landings: it is necessary to weed, hill in due time potatoes and to process from wreckers, especially from Colorado beetle. At mass exit of larvae this wrecker is capable to destroy harvest for few days.
