Features of growing

Before planting, the tubers are pickled and then soaked in a growth promoter.. After drying, the roots are germinated in the light or in wet sawdust.

To protect against weeds and maintain normal levels of moisture they can mumble with mowed grass or straw.

Recommended drip irrigation, allowing to significantly increase the yield. During the planting season, you can feed 1-2 times, alternating mineral complexes and organic matter (humus, diluted mullein). Possible foliar nutrition with an aqueous solution of superphosphate.

The released areas are recommended to be sown with phacelia or oilseed radish.
