The correct starch content in potatoes is important. This value can be increased.
How to increase the starchiness of potatoes
To feed potatoes to increase starchiness, you need phosphorus.
For this you can use any phosphorus fertilizer. Just apply the product when planting potatoes in open ground.
Fertilizer consumption should be approximately 10 grams per square meter.
In addition, if you keep the harvested potatoes cold, the starch level will be higher. And vice versa, if it’s warm, then less.
What to put under potatoes for a rich harvest
Most often, garlic fertilizer is used to fertilize potatoes. To do this, you need to dilute garlic puree in 10 liters of water and water the garden.
Vitriol is also useful for tubers. To feed, you need to mix 5 grams of copper sulfate with 15 grams of boric acid and 1 gram of potassium permanganate.
Then dilute this mixture in 10 liters of water and spray the tubers with the solution from a spray bottle.
In addition, when the bush begins to grow tubers, it is important to use mineral fertilizers with the addition of potassium for feeding.
