Farmers in Trung An commune (Vu Thu) grow winter potatoes.

This year, the weather in early winter is cold and dry, so it is favorable for land preparation and winter crop planting. Localities are focusing on caring for warm-loving winter crops, planting cold-loving crops, mainly potatoes. Potatoes are "wet-footed, dry-headed" plants, the agricultural sector recommends that farmers use furrow irrigation, then drain immediately to prevent water from stagnating in the furrows. Stop watering 60-65 days after planting. Fertilize twice: the first time about 15 days after planting, apply 5-6kg of urea and 3-4kg of potassium/sao or use NPK fertilizer specialized for potatoes. Combine with first ridge cultivation; Apply the second top dressing 10-15 days after the first, apply 2-3 kg of urea and 3-4 kg of potassium/sao or use NPK fertilizer specialized for potato plants combined with the second bed-raising. After the second bed-raising, ensure the bed is 35-40 cm high to create conditions for many tuber rays to grow, tubers to swell and limit the phenomenon of green skin. If there is heavy rain right after planting, it is necessary to immediately drain the water, you can lightly hoe the place where the tubers are placed so that the tubers are not pressed, if the tubers are in a low-lying area, you need to dig the tubers and put them back in a high place.
