Tips for Planting and Growing Seed Potatoes

To make the most of the potential of high-quality seed potatoes, follow these practices:

• Proper soil preparation – ensure well-prepared, loose, and aerated soil.

• Planting distances – plant tubers at appropriate spacing, usually 60–70 cm between rows and 25–35 cm within the row, at a depth of about 15 cm.

• Cultivation and growth – weed control, hoeing, regular hilling, irrigation, and protection against diseases and pests are key to healthy plants.

• Harvesting – harvest in dry weather, when the potato foliage has fully matured; this is essential for good tuber storage.
