Potatoes are grown today almost all over the world, but the most outstanding successes in this business have been reached by agronomists from Holland. Cultivation of potatoes on the Dutch technology is a real breakthrough. Using this technique, it is possible to harvest several times more crops. Do you think that this is impossible? Then you are mistaken, the method is effective! This material will reveal all the details of the Dutch method of growing potatoes, which can be used in practice this year!
Features of the method
For the Dutch method of growing potatoes, a certain seed material is necessary (Anasta, Sante, Rezi, Prior, Marfen are preferred). A huge role in this process is played by the condition of the soil, it must necessarily be very loose. In this case, a sufficient amount of oxygen is supplied to the root system of the potato. Compulsory systemic herbicidal treatments, which do not leave any chance to the weeds. Great attention in Holland is given to the choice of a site for planting. It is not allowed to re-grow potatoes on the site where he grew up last season. Planting potatoes according to Dutch technology is permissible on the same site not earlier than in three or four years. It is very important that the site is perfectly evenly planned and has no slopes. The best yield, according to this technique, can be obtained if in the past season on this site grown cereals. Plows the soil to a depth of up to 30 centimeters, at the same time fertilizers are introduced into it. Let's look at how the Dutch do it in more detail.
Planting and growing
Potato cultivation by Dutch technology is not without the use of mineral and organic fertilizers. If you follow the Dutch method of planting potatoes, then in the upper soil layer the content of humus (humus) should be at least 2-3%. At the same time, up to five kilograms of superphosphate , about two kilograms of potassium chloride, are applied to every hundred square meters. Before the spring planting, some five kilograms of nitrogen fertilizers are added to the sotka. For planting seed is selected solely with 100% germination. And the potatoes are planted according to the Dutch technology in the following way: do row-spacing from 70 to 90 centimeters, always take into account the fact that one square meter should not have more than six seeds. After the sprouts appear, earthen ramparts are created, which have a base width of about 70 centimeters and a height of up to 25 centimeters. To avoid phytophthora , systematic treatment is carried out. If the disease still affects the plant, it is simply removed from the aisle to contain the "epidemic". In addition to fighting (spraying with insecticides) with the main pest of potatoes, the Colorado beetle, the Dutch are also fighting aphids. It is proved that it is capable of carrying a large number of diseases that can harm future crops.
Harvest
In Holland, the harvest is collected only in late August or early September, and first remove the top of the plants. In this state, the potato is in the ground for two more weeks, only
As you can see, so high potato yield in Holland contributes to the frequent treatment of plants with chemicals, as well as their introduction into the soil. If you do not adhere to this part of the technology, the rest of it will not be able to bring the expected results.
