Germination of sprouts
Pre-germination of sprouts has a beneficial effect on the growth and development of the bush. Germination of seeds contributes to the creation of immunity to late blight and brown spot.
To get strong sprouts, the planting material is sorted out and the best seed tubers are laid out in boxes. They are laid in one layer so that the fruits can germinate freely. The boxes are placed in a dry, warm room and kept at a temperature of 15 ° C. The main thing is to monitor the temperature inside the room, it should not be too high, because the sprouts lose their properties from excess heat. The tubers are stored in such conditions for a month.
Tubers are germinated in another way: 10 tubers are placed in a plastic bag, holes are made in it and hung in a warm place in the light. Due to the condensation in the middle of the bag, the shoots germinate faster. This procedure takes about 2 weeks.
Plant care
The soil is prepared for planting simultaneously with the germination of the planting material. It is enriched with oxygen, loosening it to a depth of about 10 cm. Aeration is carried out before planting, and then every time after rain. Also, the soil is fertilized with humus or chicken droppings.
The vegetable is planted in the sun-warmed ground in early May. They make beds, lay out the sprouted tubers on the bottom and immediately bury them, rake the earth over the bed. This procedure protects the sprouts from damage and creates a thermal environment. To protect the crop from frost, the beds are covered with foil.
The planting is carried out according to the scheme 40 × 70 cm, so that, as the plants grow and develop, they do not interfere with each other.
The planted crop is weeded 2 times a week, harmful insects are collected, the soil is fertilized and the plant is treated with insecticides against diseases and pests.
Pest control
During growth, vegetables need protection from insects, which also do not mind eating vegetables.
Most often, bushes and tubers are attacked by bears and Colorado beetles. In the fight against them, manual collection of insects and careful treatment with chemicals help.
Preventive measures
As a preventive measure, the bushes are fertilized with organic matter.
A solution of copper and lime helps against fungal infections (late blight and alternaria).
The selection of tubers for seedlings copes with cancers. Cancer affects up to 60% of the crop, forms dense crusts on vegetables, which spoils the fruits and makes them unusable. If the crop was affected by such a disease, nothing can be planted on this place for 3-4 years.
