Match the following potato categories with their planting times:

First and second earlies = Planted in early February Maincrop = Planted March - April Certified seed potatoes = Seed production category Potatoes for human consumption = Seed production category

Match the following soil conditions with their suitability for potatoes:

Soil pH 5-6 and well drained = Suitable for potato growth Soil with high nitrogen content = Causes potatoes to become watery Soil with added farmyard manure = Holds more water in the soil Soil with large stones removed = Prevents damage to the tubers

Match the following fertilizers with their effects on potato growth:

Nitrogen = Increased yield but can cause watery potatoes Phosphorus = Increases dry matter and encourages early rooting Potato blight = Caused by an airborne fungus Blackleg = Causes soft rot in tubers

Match the following potato diseases with their characteristics:

<p>Potato blight = Airborne fungus causing yellow spots turning black Blackleg = Common bacterial disease causing soft rot Fungicide = Helps prevent potato blight Warm weather conditions = Require regular fungicide spraying to prevent blight</p> Signup and view all the answers
