Can potato seedlings be transplanted?

Potato seedlings can be transplanted. Potato seedling transplanting is mostly used for seedlings grown from seeds. It needs to wait until the seedlings have 4-5 true leaves before transplanting. However, seedlings are not as sturdy as seedlings grown from seed blocks. They are more difficult to manage and consume more fertilizer and water. In addition, the potato offspring grown are severely differentiated and the yield is extremely low, so they are generally not used.

Potato seedling transplanting method

1. After the potato seedlings are transplanted, they should be covered with plastic film and sunshade gauze to maintain air humidity and prevent direct exposure to strong sunlight. After a week, the seedlings will grow new roots and the plastic film and sunshade gauze will be gradually removed.

2. About 20 days later, when the base seedlings grow to 58 pieces, they can be cut for the first time, and then every 15 days.

3. In order to promote the growth of new branches after each shearing, it is best to spray 5 mg/L gibberellin at one time.

4. Potato plants need more water and evaporation in summer. On sunny days, they need to be watered twice a day. Depending on the soil temperature, they can be watered once every 2 days on rainy days in spring and autumn.

Precautions for transplanting potato seedlings

1. Daily management

Its plant can be divided into two parts, above ground and underground. This plant likes a cool environment. It grows fastest in a cool environment. During the growth period, it is necessary to fertilize and water it in time, and remove weeds in the field.

2. Temperature requirements

Potatoes have relatively high temperature requirements after transplanting. The tuberous roots of this plant grow fastest when the outside temperature is between sixteen and eighteen degrees, but when the temperature exceeds twenty-five degrees, its tuberous roots will stop growing.
