Nutrición en cultivo de Papa

The potato is a crop that requires a very balanced and abundant supply of nutrients, including several elements, primarily calcium and potassium. Nitrogen is needed in the initial stages, but it must be managed very carefully. We need to ensure the plant has a good size and shape, as this is essentially a storage crop. The main challenge is that while nitrogen should be managed in abundance, it must be carefully controlled because diseases and pests are very prevalent in this crop if it becomes too abundant, leading to significant phytosanitary problems. This is why it is so important to ensure that elements like calcium and potassium are applied as the tuber begins to form, as these nutrients are stored.
