To preserve the potato harvest, summer residents are advised to dig it in dry weather, and also be sure to sort and dry the harvested crop..
But this is not enough. To ensure that the crop lasts all winter and does not start to rot, it is recommended to use trichoderma..
How to preserve potatoes
Not everyone can distinguish a tuber damaged by disease.
But you need to remember that the safety of the crop may depend on the condition of the soil, seed material, weather, as well as on the conditions in the storage facility.
You can significantly reduce the risk of rot if you dry the potatoes for several hours in a shady and ventilated room, and then process them.
Processing the crop
Few summer residents practice this method.
To prevent the crop from rotting during storage, after drying, the tubers are treated with phytosporin or preparations containing trichoderma or hay bacillus.
Microorganisms can protect potatoes from the development of rot, but will not harm the vegetables.
For processing, the tubers are laid out in one layer and treated with a biopreparation from all sides.
Then the potatoes should dry out and can be stored.
