Potato Farming

Potato farming involves growing potatoes, a staple crop, by planting seed potatoes or pieces of tubers in the soil. Farmers prepare the land by tilling and adding nutrients, then plant the seed potatoes at appropriate depths and spacing. Throughout the growing season, they manage watering, weed control, and pest management to ensure healthy development. As the plants mature, flowers may appear, and eventually the potatoes form underground. When the potatoes reach full size and the vines start to die back, farmers harvest using specific equipment to gently extract the tubers without damage. Proper care and timing are essential for high yields and quality potatoes.
