Potato Husbandry

Crop husbandry forms the backbone for the success of any crop. This is because the optimum requirement of inputs both natural and artificial are seldom met. Through proper crop husbandry we can provide the crop with the best possible environment and help the crop make the best use of the inputs. The choice of appropriate cultivation practices requires a good understanding of the physiology of the crop and its requirement. The greater the growing conditions deviate from the optimum requirement the more skill is required in managing the crop so as to get economically viable yield. Thus, cultural practices determine the success or failure of the crop in a particular environment. Appropriate cultural practices help in providing the environment, nutrients and the conditions required for successfully growing the crop. The cultural practices required for a crop depends upon its physiology and growing condition of a place determines to what extent the cultural operations need to be carried out. Thus, through cultural practices we try to provide congenial environment to the crop as per its physiological need so that the growth and development proceeds at an optimum rate
