How long is the potato growing period?

The growing cycle of potatoes is about five months. Generally, the growing cycles of different varieties of potatoes are different. The growing cycle of early-maturing potatoes is about four months, while the growing cycle of late-maturing potatoes is relatively longer, about six months or more.

The growth and development stages of potatoes are generally the seedling stage, plant growth stage, and tuber stage. In addition, the planting time of different varieties of potatoes is generally the same, but the harvest time is different. They are all planted in April. Early-maturing potatoes mature in September, and late-maturing potatoes mature in October.

The growth process of potatoes

1. Seedling stage

The seedling period is relatively short, and whether it is an early-maturing or late-maturing variety, the seedling period is half a month.

2. Planting period

Early-maturing varieties bloom with the first inflorescence, while late-maturing varieties bloom with the second inflorescence. This stage is called the potato plant growth period, which usually lasts for one month.

3. Tuber-forming period

The length of the tuber period is generally different. There is a difference in the tuber period between early-maturing and late-maturing potatoes, but it is generally around 30 to 50 days.

Potato growth period maintenance and management

1. Seedling maintenance: The nutrients and water required in the seedling stage are not much, the main thing is to control the temperature not to be too low.

2. Maintenance during the growth period: During this stage, you need to strictly follow the principle of watering in small amounts and multiple times to avoid too much water accumulation in the soil.

3. Maintenance during the tuber-forming period: Watering and fertilizing are required on time during the tuber-forming period, and it is necessary to ensure that it has sufficient light exposure time.
