Potatoes

The potato is a vegetable that actively and intensively consumes all the nutrients from the soil. This is due to the weak development of the root system of the plant and its rather voluminous tubers. In addition, after harvesting, the soil becomes impoverished and no longer has the required amount of nutrients. They must return to the soil again when planting again, otherwise the next harvest will be much worse. Fertilization is an effective method of increasing yields. But the mistake of many novice gardeners is the introduction of top dressing during the flowering of potatoes or its growing season, although during this period valuable nutrients and minerals will not be absorbed by the plant. It is more important to choose the right fertilizer for potatoes when planting in a hole, since the yield and its quality directly depend on this. The most viable and productive in Russia are recognized potato varieties Cardinal, Desnitsa, Bezhitskiy, Lira, Zhukovskiy. Nowadays, you can easily buy various types of fertilizers in factory packaging, but some gardeners consider it equally effective and economical to feed, which is prepared at home.

Everyone knows the name of the potato, which is the main food at the present time. But at the same time, few people think about the fact that even potato tubers can be different in their taste. There is, for example, sweet potato - this is also a sweet potato. It belongs to the bindweed family. The name "batat" appeared in Russian from other languages. It has been proven that this word is borrowed from the Arawak language.
