How long is the growing period of potatoes?

Potatoes generally refer to potatoes, which have a growth cycle of about five months. Generally, the growth cycles of different varieties of potatoes are different, but generally not much different. The growth cycle of early-maturing potatoes is 4 months, while the growth cycle of late-maturing potatoes is about 6 months.

The growth and development stages of potatoes are generally divided into three stages: seedling stage, plant growth stage and maturity stage. Generally, early-maturing and late-maturing potatoes are planted around March. Early-maturing potatoes mature around September each year, and late-maturing potatoes are harvested around August.

The growth process of potatoes

1. Seedling stage

Generally, the growth of potatoes is relatively slow during the seedling stage, and not much fertilizer is needed during this period.

2. Planting period

Generally speaking, the growth period of early-maturing and late-maturing varieties is one month. This stage is a relatively important stage and requires good maintenance.

3. Maturity

Generally, the maturity period of early-maturing and late-maturing varieties is different. The maturity period of early-maturing varieties is relatively shorter, but the yield of early-maturing varieties is not very high.

Potato growth period maintenance and management

1. Maintenance during the seedling stage: The temperature and humidity of the growth environment need to be strictly controlled during the seedling stage, and the temperature needs to be maintained between 10 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius.

2. Maintenance during the growth period: Fertilization and watering are required on time during this stage. Generally, compound fertilizer can be applied once a month.

3. Maintenance during the maturity period: The number of watering can be reduced appropriately during the maturity period. You can wait until the soil is completely dry before watering.
