Potato can be grown under varieties of soil like loamy soil, sandy loam, slit loam and clay soil. Soil should be loose so that it can offer less resistance to the enlargement of tubers. Soil needs to be fertile and well drained. Acidic soil of pH of 4.8 to 5.4 is suitable for potato cultivation. Potato is considered as a cool weather crop. Vegetative growth of potato is good under 24-degree Celsius of temperature and for tuber growth 20-degree Celsius of temperature is suitable.
How to Prepare Land?
Bed should be prepared by properly ploughing the land up to 20-25 cm deep followed by harrowing. Sufficient moisture should be maintained in the soil before sowing.
Sowing Technique?
Potato is propagated by tubers. Tubers are thick underground stems also called stolon.
Sowing time and Seed Selection
Potato is grown in October and November month in Rabi season, when maximum and minimum temperatures are 30-degree C and 20-degree C. Seeds/tubers selected should be of medium size (20-125 g weight) and obtained from reliable source.
