The soil for growing potatoes should be loose and fertile. You can also mix sand and leaf mold in a certain proportion, or directly buy professional breeding soil.

1. Soil and water management

Potatoes have a very high demand for water during their growth, so the soil must have sufficient moisture. Water the potatoes sufficiently after sowing and use herbicides at the same time. If high temperatures are encountered during the seedling stage, water them again.

2. Disease prevention and control

During the growth process of potatoes, it is necessary to do a good job of disease prevention and control. When choosing varieties, disease-free varieties should be selected, and the sowing time can be appropriately advanced.
