The treatment is carried out two days before the start of the main work.

For 10 liters of water you will need:

  • superphosphate 40 g;
  • potassium salt 40 g;
  • nitrogen fertilizer 40 gr.

Dissolve the ingredients and start processing when ready. The ready solution should be enough for 5 kilograms of planting material.

You can also soak the tubers in this solution if they have not yet sprouted, but this should be done a day before planting.

Summer residents who practice this method claim that shoots appear earlier after treatment, and the tubers grow larger.
