When do you plant potatoes in spring?

Potato planting time is different in different areas in spring, as follows:

Northeast China, Gansu, Qinghai and other northwest areas are generally planted in the middle and late April to early May in spring (that is, after Grain Rain in 24 solar terms and before long summer).

In Shandong, Hebei and other parts of the Central Plains, spring potatoes are planted in February and March (after the rain and before the fright in the 24 solar terms). From June 5th to February (after the severe cold in 24 solar terms, before beginning of spring and in spring), spring potatoes can be planted in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other central and southern provinces.

Planting techniques:

1, seed selection

Choose potato pieces with no pests and diseases, no freezing injury, smooth skin, fresh and moderate size as seed potatoes.

2. Land selection

Suitable for planting in fields with high terrain, fertile soil and convenient irrigation.

3. Land consolidation and border preparation

Tillage a week in advance and weed at the same time. At this time, it is necessary to make a boundary. The width of the frame is about1.2m, and the width between two frames can be kept at 30 cm. This is more conducive to drainage after rain and fertilization and irrigation at ordinary times. The base fertilizer is mainly potassium with low nitrogen and high phosphorus.
