Increase the yield of potatoes? With potassium humate - no question!

It's no secret that potatoes are very popular in our country: steaming straight from the oven, sprinkled with greens and onions, with golden crispy pieces of lard or with herring, who would refuse? Unlikely!

The amount of potatoes we use is not used in any European country. But it is not so easy to grow a high crop of tasty, crumbly potatoes: sometimes the weather conditions change, sometimes there are pests, sometimes there are diseases. Yes, the process is time-consuming and requires considerable effort. Naturally, all of us, both amateur gardeners and farmers, are concerned about increasing crop yields.

Potatoes are a demanding culture both in terms of nutrients and in terms of the presence of micro and macro elements in the soil, especially when it is not possible to change the soil for planting potatoes every 3-4 times. And that's when potassium humate enters the arena - a fertilizer that will restore the soil, accelerate ripening, and protect against disease / pests, and also increase taste and yield. How to use potassium humate?

Potassium humate - Instructions for use

The use of potassium humate as a fertilizer in growing potatoes gives excellent results, and this has been confirmed in practice. Want to check?

Soak the potato tubers in an aqueous solution of potassium humate with a concentration of 0.005-0.008%. Only 50 liters of fertilizer will be needed for a ton of potatoes, and if you have only 20 kg of planting potatoes, 1 liter will be enough for you.

Experts recommend that those who use their seed potatoes for planting must carry out the soaking procedure. After all, over time, the seed material degenerates, and its valuable properties are lost, due to which the yield of the crop decreases, resistance to diseases is lost. Such seeds are already weak before planting.

You need to soak the tubers before planting, then fertilize the potatoes when the first 5-7 leaves appear. This increases the yield by 15%, and starches and carbohydrates accumulate in potatoes 10% faster. The defeat of the culture by scab and rot is reduced.

The advantages of using humate for potatoes are obvious

Undoubtedly, only healthy plants give a good harvest. And the use of potassium humate when growing potatoes not only protects the crop from disease, but also has a positive effect on the soil and plants:

1. Potassium humate reacts with compounds of lead, mercury, radionuclides, binding them, thus preventing harmful and dangerous substances from entering the plant, which ensures the product's environmental friendliness.

2. The use of potassium humate reduces the amount of other fertilizers and pesticides.

3. Potassium humate is a natural growth stimulator, so the crop ripens faster.

4. Stimulates the development of soil microflora, which contributes to the rapid recovery of the nutrient layer - humus.

5. The fertilizer increases the crop's resistance to adverse weather conditions: drought, frost, excess moisture.

6. Improves the taste of agricultural crops.

7. Potassium humate increases the yield of potatoes by 40%, and the ripening period is reduced by 12 days.
