"What is this?" Pei Pei asked curiously, looking at a yellow block in his hand.

"This is the seed potato of the potato. Gangu Yu pointed to a nest and introduced, "This is the bud eye of the potato, and the potato sprouts grow from here." ”

"Potatoes, is it a new crop?" Pei Pei's eyes lit up.

Gangu Yu smiled faintly: "This is nature. Since you have fried chicken, you can't do without matching fries. Let's choose a few fields and try to plant some!"

"No problem!" Pei Pei clenched his little pink fist with a look of anticipation.

Potatoes are also a high-yield crop, with a yield of more than 2,000 kilograms per mu, and there are special cases with a yield of nearly 10,000 catties per mu. However, compared with sweet potatoes, its planting environment requirements are much higher.

As with sweet potatoes, sandy loam soils are best for potatoes. However, it is afraid of both drought and waterlogging, which increases the difficulty of planting out of thin air.

At the same time, potatoes are not tolerant of high temperatures, and generally speaking, when the average temperature exceeds 25 degrees Celsius, the potato tubers will stop expanding further. Fortunately, the temperature is now low, but it saves Ganguyu a lot of trouble. After all, even if the growth of all things can ignore the effects of temperature, light, etc. to a certain extent, it is still half a point worse than no impact.

Therefore, after using the seed and seedling incubator to detoxify the potato seed potatoes, Ganguyu did not forget to strengthen its resistance to drought, waterlogging, and high temperature.

This time, because of the large planting area in the plan, Ganguyu also called a few younger brothers of the water and soil systems to help. Under his command, the crowd completed the ridge sowing of potatoes in three strokes and five divisions.

When cultivating soil, potatoes need a thick thickness of soil, generally about half a foot is appropriate. If the soil is thin, and the soil is not replenished after the potatoes sprout, the underground stems will easily escape from the ground. Affect yield.

At the same time, potatoes also have high requirements for base fertilizer, pay attention to heavy application of base fertilizer, and mainly organic fertilizer. Therefore, Gangu Yu bought a large amount of organic fertilizer from the farm and distributed it to the earth masters, asking them to apply enough fertilizer to the fields.

Of course. At the same time, small amounts of superphosphate, plant ash and urea are also essential. Fortunately, when Ganguyu cultivates the soil, the three elements of fertilizer are supplemented, and you don't have to pay too much attention to the base fertilizer, just pay attention to the top dressing.

Soon, the water and fertilizer in the field were replenished. Gangu Rain's old technique was repeated, and a high-level Everything Growth Scroll was activated. At the same time, in accordance with his instructions, the group quickly applied a top dressing when the potatoes were blooming.

The potatoes were ripe, and Gangu Yu led the earth mages to dig up the potatoes by the roots. Oval-shaped underground stems emerge from the ground, and no beans have escaped the net. Speaking of which, it is really convenient for the soil mage to harvest grains such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, and by the way, he also completed a deep ploughing, which can be regarded as providing convenience for the next planting.

"This yield is not low!" Pei Pei picked up a large potato and shook it, and immediately smiled.

Gan Guyu made a rough estimate: "It's okay, about eighty bags of harvest from a field, and the yield per mu is nearly 5,000 catties......"

"How do you eat this?" Pei Pei immediately cared about the most important issue.

"That's too much. Gangu Yu spread his hands and said with a smile. "I'm going back and teaching you how to cook a few potato dishes. However, we still have one more vegetable to grow. ”――

"It tastes so good. Sweet and sour, juicy, refreshing and delicious. ”

On the way back, Pei Pei had already eaten a bright red fruit in one hand, and even the juice of the fruit that was splashed on his chest didn't care: "Hey, you said that this tomato is a vegetable?

"What can be eaten raw is fruit, and sweet potatoes can also be eaten raw!" said Ganguyu, spreading his hands, "Forget it." You can eat it raw as a fruit, or stir-fry it as a vegetable, just like it, why bother to distinguish it so clearly. ”

"Let's treat it as a fruit!" Peipei suddenly decided, "This yield is about the same as our grapes." Compared with sweet potatoes, potatoes are too far behind, and they are obviously more in line with the characteristics of fruits. ”

Dare to love you according to the yield per mu, this is too sloppy! The yield per mu is only about 1,000 catties of wheat, and it is looking at you pitifully!

Gan Guyu shook his head and smiled: "This time you are wrong." In fact, with proper management of tomatoes, it is possible to produce 200 bags per field, which is a veritable high-yielding crop. ”

"Huh?" Pei Pei Pei looked stunned, "Then you just collected less than fifty bags of tomatoes in that field!"

"Brother just planted a field of tomatoes so casually, neither built a shelf nor pulled a greenhouse, how high can the yield be?" Gan Guyu pouted, "Tomatoes are not strong in preservation, and there are not enough storage props in our hands that can be used to store a large number of tomatoes, what if we can't digest the stock? Do you want to start selling tomatoes cheaply at this time?"

"Oh......" Pei Pei had no idea what a greenhouse or anything like that, so she nodded ignorantly, and then continued to happily nibble on her tomatoes.

Gan Guyu couldn't cry or laugh when she looked at her. It should be said that eating brainless is also a kind of happiness in a sense, right?

Tomatoes are a plant that actually does not have high soil requirements, but if it grows in unsuitable soil, don't expect it to produce many fruits. In order to ensure a good yield, the soil must first be thick and then well-drained, rich in organic matter.

Gangu Yu has only done this. Because of the relationship between the seed and seedling cultivators, Ganguyu saved a lot of effort in raising seedlings, and he planted a field of tomatoes.

Tomatoes are short-day plants that love temperature and light, but too high or too low a temperature can affect their slightly delicate plant. At the same time, the amount of fertilizer required by tomatoes is not small, and the fertilizer required for each growth cycle is not the same. In order for it to bear as much fruit as possible, it is necessary to build a scaffolding for the plant and build a greenhouse.

In summary, it is okay to make tomatoes abundant, but it will also require more work. Ganguyu planted tomatoes this time, that is, it was just a temporary emergency, and the amount was not very large, so it was only planted on a small scale hastily, and it did not use so many complicated means.

Although the yield was affected, the soil was still intermediate, the seedlings were still high-quality optimized seedlings, the field base fertility was also sufficient to guarantee, and the growth of all things could ignore the effects of temperature, humidity and light to a certain extent, Ganguyu still harvested a lot of tomatoes, which was enough for his emergency use.

As for what should be urgent...... Just kidding, with fried chicken, don't you have beer...... Phew, is there still no fries? Now that the fries are available, can there be no ketchup? )
