The use of tubers for food every day helps to normalize the body’s metabolic processes, improve the condition of the skin and hair. All thanks to vitamins B and C, as well as potassium and calcium.

Germination of sprouts

Pre-germination of sprouts has a beneficial effect on the growth and development of the bush. Germination of seeds helps to create immunity to late blight and brown spotting.

To get strong shoots, planting material is sorted and the best seed tubers are laid out in boxes. Stacked in one layer so that the fruits can germinate freely. Boxes are exposed in a dry, warm room and comply with a temperature regime 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 due to excess heat. The tubers are stored in such conditions for a month.

The tubers are germinated in yet another way: 10 tubers are placed in a plastic bag, holes are made in it and hung in a warm place in the light. Thanks to condensation in the middle of the packet, the sprouts germinate faster. This procedure takes about 2 weeks.

Plant Care

The soil is prepared for planting at the same time as the planting material is germinated. It is enriched with oxygen, loosening to a depth of about 10 cm.Aeration is carried out before planting, and later on – every time after rain. Also, the soil is fertilized with humus or chicken droppings.

The vegetable is planted in the sun-warmed land in early May. They make beds, sprouted tubers at the bottom and immediately bury them, rake the ground over the beds. A similar procedure protects the sprouts from damage and creates thermal conditions. To preserve the harvest from frost, the beds are covered with a film.

Planting is carried out according to the scheme 40 × 70 cm so that the plants do not interfere with each other as they grow and develop.

Weed crops are weeded 2 times a week, collect harmful insects, fertilize the soil and treat the plant with insecticides against diseases and pests.

Pest control

During growth, vegetables require protection from insects, which also do not mind eating a vegetable.

Most often, bushes and tubers are attacked by bears and Colorado beetles. In the fight against them, manual collection of insects and careful processing with chemicals helps.

Preventive measures

As a preventive measure, the bushes are fertilized with organics.

Against fungal infections ( late blight and alternariosis) a solution of copper and lime helps.

With the selection of cancers, the selection of tubers for seedlings can cope. Cancer affects up to 60% of the crop, forms dense crusts on vegetables, which spoils the fruits and makes them unfit for consumption. If the crop was affected by such a disease, nothing can be planted in this place for 3-4 years.
