🏆 Record harvest 🥔 Planting 3 times thicker and without hilling 🌱 Planting Riviera potatoes

Advertising. 🔥►►Help the channel - donate: www.donationalerts.com/r/gord... 🥔 ►► Visual experiment. We planted Riviera potatoes 3 times thicker than recommended. We checked whether early potatoes with such a dense planting pattern will give a harvest. As a result, we got a yield 2 times higher than the official maximum yield of the Riviera variety. The result is compared with the data of the state register of varieties. The experiment was carried out in the hot climate of the Rostov/Lugansk steppes. ► All our potato technologies and experiments are here: • Выращивание картофеля ... ► Our joint trips, rafting, fishing: • Совместные путешествия...
