Potato planting time and method

Potato planting time

Potatoes are generally planted from mid-to-late April to early May each year. They prefer a warm growing environment, so when planting, the average daily temperature needs to be kept between 15-25 degrees, which is more beneficial for their growth and development.

Potato Planting Method

1. Site selection and land preparation: When planting potatoes, you need to choose land with fertile and loose soil. Sandy land is the most suitable. After choosing the land, you need to prepare the land and then apply enough base fertilizer.

2. Sowing: Before sowing potatoes, they need to be placed in a certain temperature to germinate. When the sprouts grow to the size of a fingernail, they need to be dried outdoors. When it is time to sow them, they need to be cut into pieces and then sown.

3. Field management: After the potatoes emerge, they need to be checked and supplemented in time. If any seedlings are missing, they must be supplemented in time, and some weeds in the field must also be removed in time.

Potato planting precautions

When potatoes are growing, the soil should not be too dry or too wet. Generally, the soil can be kept slightly moist. Moreover, it is a light-loving plant, so when caring for it, it is best to place it in a place with sufficient light, which is extremely beneficial for its growth in the seedling stage.
