4. After 3 weeks, strong sprouts should appear on potatoes. The tuber who did not form them, as well as having one 1 sprout - eliminates.
5. Each batch of material is planted separately.

Predset preparation: Warming

In the event that you can not provide potato access light, warm it for one and a half weeks. With this situation, the landing material must be started to prepare for 8-10 days before landing. The tubers are heated at 18-20 ° C.

Notes:

• warming, which lasts more than 10 days, leads to long sprouts. Accordingly, when landing, they can break down;

• if still sprouts were formed - remove the tubers from the box and fall out in the hole, sprouting the earth.

Cutting clubs

Recommendations:

• cut tubers follows 3 weeks before landing;
• they are not recommended to plant into the moor and cold (below 5 ° C) land, as well as in dry, hot weather;

An incision is made across the tuber with a sharp knife. The depth of the sand should be from 1 -1.5 cm. The knife for cutting and the tubers themselves are pre-disinfected in a solution of potassium mangartage.

• provides protection of potatoes from rotten (bacterial, mushroom), rhizoconiosis, pasta, soil pests, etc.;
• has an anti-stress effect;
• gives high processing processing;
• improves the short formation;
• reinforces photosynthesis;
• has a high selectivity in relation to the products being processed;
• it can be used in advance (in a few weeks) using heating and method of germination of tubers, as well as immediately before landing;
• effective in sharing with Maxim;
• immediately begins to actively act;
• improves product quality.

Types of processing "Prestige"
