2.2. Land Media
Crumb structure, loose, a lot of organic material, and have a good berdrainase layer manner and in a pH between 5,8-7,0.

TECHNICAL GUIDELINES BUDIDAYA
3.1. Seedling
- Umbi seed tubers derived from the production of 30-50 grams of weight, age of 150-180 days, is not disabled, and superior varieties. Select medium-sized tubers, the eyes have 3-5 and only shoot up to the fourth generation only. After the shoot + 2 cm, ready to be planted.
- When you buy seeds (try a certified seeds), weight between 30-45 grams with a 3-5 shoot eyes. Planting can be done without / with cleavage. Cutting tubers into 2-4 pieces performed by the existing shoots. Before planting the tubers soaked first NASA POC for 1-3 hours (2-4 cc / lt of water).

3.2. Processing of Media
Dibajak Land 30-40 cm deep and leave for 2 weeks before bedengan made with the width 70 cm (1 plant lines) / 140 cm (2 plant lines), 30 cm high and a drainage channel 50 cm deep and 50 cm wide.
Natural Glio that is first in dikembangbiakkan manure + 1 sunday, ditebarkan evenly on bedengan (dose: 1-2 packaging Glio Natural mixed 50-100 kg fertilizer kandang/1000 m2).

3.3. Planting techniques
3.3.1. Basic fertilization
a. Inorganic form of urea fertilizer (200 kg / ha), SP 36 (200 kg / ha), and KCl (75 kg / ha).
b. POC NASA Siramkan fertilizer that was mixed with water secukupnya evenly over bedengan, 1-2 dose vial / m² in 1000. Results will be better if using NASA SUPER way:
Alternative 1: 1 bottle of Super Nasa diluted in 3 liters of water used as solvent parent. Then every 50 lt water given 200 cc main solution to flush bedengan earlier.
Alternative 2: every 1 gembor vol 10 lt given Peres 1 tablespoon Super Nasa to flush 10 meters bedengan.
POC sprinkling NASA / SUPER NASA conducted before the manure.
c. Give manure 5-6 tons / ha (mixed bedengan or on land given to the planting hole) one week before planting,

3.3.2. How's
The distance depends on plant varieties, 80 cm x 40 cm or 70 x 30 cm with the needs of seeds, 1300-1700 kg / ha (30-45 gr weight tubers). Time of planting the end of the rainy season (April-June).

3.4. Maintenance Plant
3.4.1. Stitching
Stitching to replace plants that do not grow / growing ugly conducted since the 15 days to grow.

3.4.2. Weeding
Weeding is done at least twice during the period of 2-3 days before / together with the continuation and penggemburan fertilization.

3.4.3. Trimming Flowers
At the flowering varieties of potatoes should be cut to prevent the formation of tubers terganggunya process, due to seizure of burly.

3.4.4. Fertilization Susulan
a. Macro fertilizer
Urea / ZA: 21 days after planting (hst) 300 kg / ha and 45 hst 150 kg / ha.
SP-36: 21 hst 250 kg / ha.
KCl: 21 hst 150 kg / ha and 45 hst 75 kg / ha.
Fertilizer macro given range of 10 cm from the plant stem.
b. NASA POC: from age 1 sunday until 10 or 11 sunday.
Alternative I: 8-10 times (interval 1 sunday with a dose of 4 close / tank or 1 bottle (500 cc) / 200 lt water drum.
Alternative II: 5 - 6 times (interval 2 mingu once close to the dose 6 / tank, or 1.5 bottles (750 cc) / 200 lt water drum.
c. HORMONIK: spraying POC NASA will be optimal if mixed HORMONIK (1-2 doses close / tank or bottles + 2-3 / 200 liter drum of water).

3.4.5. Irrigation
7-day watering once routinely with the gembor, Power Sprayer or ditch to irrigate the area moist (about 15-20 minutes).

3.5. Pests and Diseases
3.5.1. Hama
Grayak worm (Spodoptera litura)
Symptoms: persistent attack leaves to leaf out. Control: (1) cut leaves that have been ditempeli eggs, (2) Natural Vitura spraying and environmental sanitation.

Lice leaves (Aphis Sp)
Symptoms: lice leaf and suck fluid menginfeksi plant, can also transmit the virus. Control: cut and burn the infected leaves and spraying Pestona or BVR.

Orong-orong (Gryllotalpa Sp)
Symptoms: the tubers in the garden, roots, young shoots and young plants. As a result, plants become sensitive to bacterial infection. Control: Pengocoran Pestona.

Hama drill tubers (Phtorimae poerculella Zael)
Symptoms: crimson leaves and looks like braided yarn gray wrapping material that is durable. Who fell ill when the tubers be split, visible holes because some tubers have been eaten. Control: Pengocoran Pestona.

Hama trip (Thrips tabaci)
Symptoms: The speck found on the leaves The speck-white, changed to silver gray and dry up. The attack started from the tip of the leaf-edge young. Control: (1) cut the leaves that fell ill, (2) use Pestona or BVR.

3.5.2. Diseases
Diseases rotten leaves
The cause: mushroom Phytopthora infestans. Symptoms: The speck-relief The speck small gray-green and a bit wet to the color changes to brown to black with the white edge of the sporangium and leaf rot / die. Control: garden sanitation. Prevention with the use of Natural Glio on or before the beginning of the planting.

Withered disease bacteria
The cause: the bacteria Pseudomonas solanacearum. Symptoms: a few leaves on the young shoots and plants withered old leaves, the bottom leaves turn yellow. Control: sanitation, gardens, crops rotation. Prevention with the use of Natural Glio on or before the beginning of the planting.

Diseases rotten tubers
The cause: Colleotrichum mushroom coccodes. Symptoms: leaves turn yellow and curl up, and wither and dry. The plant which is located in The speck of land-The speck brown. Infection causes the roots and tubers young decay. Control: crop rotation, sanitation and use of garden seeds of good. Prevention with the use of Natural Glio on or before the beginning of the planting

Disease fusarium
The cause: fungus Fusarium sp. Symptoms: decay of the tuber crops withered. The disease also attacks the potatoes in storage. Infectious entry through injury caused nematoda / mechanical factors.

Virus that attacks are: (1) Potato Leaf Roll Virus (PLRV) causes leaf rolls, (2) Potato Virus X (PVX) causes latent mosaic on the leaves; (3) Potato Virus Y (PVY) causes mosaic nekrosis or local; ( 4) Potato Virus A (PVA) causes mosaic software; (5) Potato virus M (PVM) causes mosaic rolls; (6) Potato Virus S (PVS) causes mosaic weak. Symptoms: a result of the attack, the plants grow stunted, pale and with a straight foot kecil-kecil/tidak result at all; leaves turn yellow and die network. The spread of the virus conducted by agricultural equipment, lice leaves Aphis spiraecola, A. gossypii and Myzus persicae, and Epilachna beetle Coccinella and nematoda. Control: no pesticides to control the virus, prevention and control is done with the seed virus-free, cleaning equipment, cut and burn the plant disease, vector control with Pestona or BVR and rotation crop.

Note: If the pest and disease control with the use of pesticides has not overcome the natural pesticide chemicals can be recommended. To be spraying pesticide chemicals more evenly and not easily lost by rainwater add Adhesives Straighten AERO 810, + 5 ml dose (1 / 2 cap) / tank.
