How to Use Carbide to Break the Dormancy of Potato Tubers with Carbide Chunks from MDQ.
One of the main problems in growing potatoes is that the tubers do not grow shoots quickly after harvest. This problem is called dormancy. If it is not broken immediately, planting time can be delayed, and the harvest will not be optimal. One of the most effective ways to break dormancy is with carbide. This carbide will release acetylene gas when it comes into contact with water, and this gas can stimulate the growth of shoots in potato tubers.
What is Dormancy? Dormancy is the "sleeping" period of potato tubers. Even though they are stored in a good place, the tubers have not yet sprouted. If you don't cut it off, it can take a long time for the tubers to grow shoots. Here's how to use MDQ Carbide Powder to break the dormancy of the tools and materials required: ●Bulk carbide from MDQ ●Tarpaulin or large plastic ●Healthy and dry potato tubers ●Used cans for carbide containers ●A little water (to help the carbide react) ●Mask and gloves (for safety) Usage Steps: 1.Place the potato seeds in clear plastic. Size is adjusted to the number of seeds. 2. Emdeki carbide (2 kg per 1 ton of potatoes) is put into a plastic cup, then placed on top of the pile of potatoes. Add 200 ml of water. 3. The plastic is tied tightly so that carbide gas does not escape. 4.After 24 hours, open the plastic and move the seeds into a container/crate. 5.After 2 weeks, white shoots begin to appear in the bud eyes. 6.After 1-2 weeks after the shoots appear, the seeds are ready to be planted.
