Water the bushes directly under the root, not on the leaves. This method of irrigation prevents soil waterlogging and the development of late blight. The first watering is recommended after the appearance of flowers. You can also water the beds two to three times for the entire period of tuber ripening. Watering stops 7 days before digging.
