Potato

Potato

Potato is one of the most popular table and fodder crops. It’s grown in traditional extensive and intensive farmings, and it’s also the most common crop in household plots.

Peculiarities

Potato doesn’t tolerate acid soils with poor aeration, but is unpretentious to predecessors in crop rotation, with the exception of other solanaceous, shows a higher yield after cereals, corn and legumes.

 

Potato requires access to oxygen, starting from the budding and flowering stage and up to the ripening of root crops. Soil improvers SatoSoil® prevent the soils from over compacting, keep the top layer loose, and facilitate access and absorption of nutrients.

For optimal yield, potatoes require periodic application of organo-mineral fertilizers to increase their own immunity, stimulate seedling growth and green biomass gain. SatoGrow® Biostimulants gradually release minerals, which promotes even saturation and efficient transport of macronutrients to all parts of the plant. Humic and fulvic acids delay the leaching of beneficial nutrients and serve as a natural barrier to pathogenic bacteria and fungi.

 

Potatoes are susceptible to a number of diseases caused by protozoan microorganisms that enter the tuber with excess moisture and lack of air. Dry and wet rot, scab and late blight are the most common of them. Potatoes also have a lot of natural pests, the fight against which takes a lot of time and targeted investment. Root and foliar treatment of potatoes with silicon-containing humates SatoHum® SiO demonstrates excellent results: it extends biochemical defense of plants against insects and larvae, protects cell walls from the penetration of fungal and bacterial infections.

Recommended products for potato

WARNING: 4 Sato® Steps is a comprehensive crop care system. There are basic crop needs for the main 12 macro, meso and micronutrients, so for an optimal growing cycle and unlocking the potential of each crop, a balanced diet and timely fertilization are necessary.

 

SOILS: When pre-sowing SatoSoil® soil improvers, the minimum rate indicated in the table is applied. When autumn incorporation, the maximum rate indicated in the table is used. When applying SatoGrow® biostimulants after SatoSoil® soil improvers, the minimum rate is applied. If the soil has not been dressed, root incorporation of the maximum rate is allowed.

 

SEEDS/SEEDLINGS/VEGETATION BEGINNING: Treatment of seeds and seedlings with Sato® Seeds compound is compatible with treatment by classical protectants without reducing the rates of their application, and helps to increase the viability of seedlings, the development of the plant and its fruitfulness.

 

GROWTH: Our SatoHum® solutions have a guaranteed composition with high content of humic and fulvic acids with amino acids of plant origin, so their application rates are significantly lower than those on the market. It is not recommended to exceed the total dose of SatoHum® liquid formulations over 6 l/ha/season.

 

HARVEST: Simultaneous fertilization with several SatoHum® products is not expected. It is not recommended to exceed the specified application rates. For single, not systemic application of SatoHum® products, the maximum dosage of the product is recommended.
