hello guys, how are you guys, back again with saa @batubara last week I visited a garden belonging to my uncle's garden planted with potatoes, harvest time is a waiting time. Many people expect a lot of crops with good quality. Expected results and quality depends on the way of cultivation. However, harvesting and harvesting and postharvest handling can affect the quality so I will share some good tips and harvesting methods, need to know the ins and outs of harvesting and post-harvest so you can get it done.
harvesting of potatoes begins when the potato is old and has a size large enough from the size of the potato, and here we can see whether the potato is ready for harvest or not.
besides that we can also see from the height of the plant, and the potato plant that leaves are bushy and towering upwards we can make sure the potatoes can already be harvested.
Upper plants (leaves and stems) dry up. Usually this sign starts to look after the age of the potatoes stepping on 100 or more days (again, the harvest age of the potato depends on the type). This indicates the age of the potato plant is quite old, but the age of the tuber is not old yet. In these circumstances the potatoes can not be harvested, if harvested will be found skin of the tubers are still thin and easily scratched. and the average farmers rely on this point when choosing the harvest time of the potatoes they plant.
thank you my visit to my uncle's garden can add to our knowledge and insight about the right harvest time on the potato. i @batubara see you
