Grow Potato with : Smart Nutrition Tips

Achieve higher tuber yield and superior size with precise plant nutrition.

Crop-Specific Spraying Challenges in Potato
1. High disease pressure: Late blight and early blight require frequent and timely fungicide sprays.
2. Low-growing dense canopy: Manual spraying often results in uneven coverage on lower leaves.
3. Frequent spray intervals: Spraying every 7–10 days increases labour and operational cost.
4. Tractor damage risk:Tractor entry can damage ridges and exposed tubers.

Most critical stage in Potato : Tuber Initiation and Tuber Development Stage
Most important Nutrient & Micro Nutrients Required for Potato : Potassium and Zinc

Why Potassium and Zinc is Critical for Potato
1. Promotes tuber bulking, size, and weight
2. Improves starch accumulation and quality
3. Enhances disease resistance and stress tolerance
4. Ensures better skin quality and shelf life

How Agricultural Drones Help in Potato Spraying
1. Uniform spray coverage over dense potato canopy
2. Better penetration to lower leaves due to downdraft effect
3. No ridge or tuber damage
4. Saves 60–70% labour cost
5. Reduces water usage by 80–90%
