Tuber Initiation in potatoes:
Avoid excessively wet and dry soil to limit tuber deficiencies such as growth cracks. Enlarged lenticels and secondary growth. Some cultivars are prone to these abnormalities. Maintain plant available water at 60 to 70%. The following diseases are associated with lack of water: Scrab, malformations, poor crop stand, black spot, poor root and canopy growth whereas excessive water: Hollow heart, enlarged lenticels, tuber shattering, aerial stem rot and blackleg.
Continue with weekly spraying programs to control pests and diseases.
Check the nutrient status of plants by means of leaf analysis and supplement where necessary.
Tuber Bulking in potatoes:
Maintain adequate soil moisture levels (75%-85% Plant Available water). It should not be depleted by more than 30%. Avoid over-irrigation which leads to leaching of nitrates.
Maintain spraying programs to control pests and diseases.
Check the nutrient status of plants by means of leaf analysis and supplement where necessary.
Tuber Maturity in potatoes:
Reduce Irrigation to maintain 50 to 60% of Plant Available water to strengthen tuber skin, limit tuber diseases and to avoid secondary growth.
Continue with leaf spraying against pests and diseases until foliage dead.
Schedule foliage killing practices to ensure complete foliage die back before harvesting.
Till the ridge to limit the damage by tuber moth if cracks appear in the soil.
Harvesting of potatoes:
Train staff to harvest correctly to reduce bruising and check tubers after 24 hours to determine the extent of bruising. If high, identify the steps during harvesting and packing where bruising may occur and correct them where possible.
Begin harvesting after complete foliage dieback. Harvest when the soil contains 60 to 65% of plant-available water. During harvesting, remove as much organic material as possible.
Remove tubers from the land as quickly as possible to protect the crop against rain, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
