Sometimes even experienced gardeners can make mistakes when growing potatoes.
As a result, this does not have the best effect on crop yields.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained why potatoes may not grow well.
An unfortunate mistake
Sometimes gardeners do not pay enough attention to hilling potatoes.
However, this is a mistake and can lead to the potatoes growing poorly.
Therefore, it is worth loosening or hilling potatoes at least 3 times during the season.
After this, the space between the rows and the roots of the plant can be mulched.
In addition, it is important to plant potatoes correctly. It should be taken into account that the root system of this plant is quite large, and therefore it requires a lot of space.
If you plant potatoes too often, you are unlikely to get a large harvest.
Other reasons
Potatoes may not grow well for some other reasons.
For example, this may be influenced by its variety or the choice of seed material.
Potato yields will be significantly reduced if you do not follow the principle of crop rotation and plant them in the same place.
Pests, diseases, and weather conditions can affect the potato harvest.
Earlier, an expert explained why there are a lot of flowers on tomatoes, but no harvest.
