Potato and Tuber Crops

Manuring and Inter Culture

• Broadcast 10 tonnes of farmyard manure and NPK @ 30:60:50 kg/ha and incorporate into soil at the time of land preparation.
• Top-dress with 30 kg N and 50 kg K20 at 45 days after planting.
• This is followed by an inter- culturing and earthing up of soil at base of plant.
• In case, soil has eroded from base of plants, give one more earthing up at 30 days later to promote tuber formation.
