Quality and balanced plant nutrition is the foundation upon which modern potato farming is built. In the face of a changing climate, rising costs of mineral fertilizers, and strict market demands for tuber quality, standard “guesswork” schemes no longer work.
To give producers access to advanced global practices, the Potatoes News project is launching a new specialized section on our website — Global Potato Nutrition.
Why Are We Doing This?
Potatoes are one of the most responsive, yet highly demanding crops when it comes to nutrition. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sulfur, and a complex of trace elements must be supplied at strictly defined vegetation stages. An error in calculations or application timing directly hits the farmer’s pocket: storage capability decreases, market appearance suffers, and disease resistance drops.
The Global Potato Nutrition section will become a unified international knowledge base where theory is closely intertwined with the real-world practices of the planet’s leading farms.
What Awaits You in the New Section?
We are structuring the information so that it brings practical value to both small-scale farms and large agricultural holdings:
- Nutritional Technology Matrices: Detailed breakdowns of macro- and microelement application schemes for different target markets (table potatoes, chipping varieties, French fries, and seed material).
- Innovative Products: Reviews of biological tools, growth stimulants (such as solutions for improving crop establishment and root system development), liquid complex fertilizers, and fertigation systems.
- Partner Practices and Experience: Case studies from leading manufacturers of crop protection and plant nutrition products.
- Expert Interviews and Podcasts: Insights from leading agrochemists, researchers, and practitioners, gathered during the expeditions of our International Potato Tour.
“Potato nutrition is not just about applying fertilizers to the soil. It is the precise management of plant development at every stage: from forming a robust root system to maturing a strong skin. In the new section, we will show how modern technologies help unlock the maximum genetic potential of varieties while optimizing costs.”
— Viktor Kovalev, Founder of the Potatoes News project and the International Potato Tour.
We Invite You to Collaborate!
We are open to dialogue. If your company produces effective fertilizers, develops digital plant nutrition control systems, or if you are a practicing agronomist ready to share successful experiences in implementing new nutritional schemes, the Global Potato Nutrition section is your platform.
Stay tuned for updates, implement advanced nutritional technologies, and increase your crop profitability with us!
