Potato Crop 

Potatoes, known scientifically as Solanum tuberosum, are a staple food crop that originated in the Andes mountains of South America. They rank among the world’s most important food crops, alongside rice and wheat. Potatoes are incredibly versatile in the kitchen, featuring in dishes from mashed potatoes to fries. Nutrient-rich, they provide essential vitamins such as vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. With over 100 varieties, potatoes can be cultivated in a wide range of soil types and climates, making them a valuable crop for farmers globally. Using Micro Maxx, you can achieve healthier and more productive potato crops.

Crop Management with Micromaxx at various stages of Potato  

1. Vegetative stage

During the vegetative growth stage, the potato plant focuses on producing leaves, chlorophyll concentration, photosynthesis  and stem development, which lasts about 20-25 days. The plant’s stems elongate, and lush leaves emerge, contributing to its overall size. The taproot anchors the plant up to 3 feet deep, while shallow roots in the top 8 to 12 inches absorb essential nutrients. Adequate water and well-drained soil are crucial for root health. 

 

Product usage 

• Micromaxx supplies essential nutrients that are vital for plant growth and crop development during this stage.

• It increases chlorophyll concentration, improving photosynthesis and promoting overall plant growth and development.

• For foliar spray, use Amino Maxx at 1 gm/L of water or 200 gm/Acre. For drip irrigation, apply 500 gm/Acre. This ensures the potato plants receive the necessary nutrients for optimal growth and productivity.

 

1. Flowering stage

The flowering stage in potato crops occurs about 8 to 10 weeks after planting, with flowers in various colors like white, pink, red, blue, or purple. These flowers indicate a healthy, mature plant focusing on reproduction. While not essential for tuber production, flowering shows good plant health. Proper care, including adequate water and nutrients, is crucial during this stage for optimal tuber development. 

Product usage 

• Janatha Micromaxx promotes increased flowering and better tuber development.

• Prevents premature dropping of flowers.

• Using  Micromaxx at this stage results in higher yields of superior quality potatoes.

• Application: For foliar spray, use 1 gram per liter of water or 200 grams per acre. For drip irrigation, apply 500 grams per acre.

 

1. Maturity stage

The maturity stage in potato crops is when tubers are fully developed, and plant growth slows down. This stage is marked by the yellowing and wilting of leaves and stems, typically occurring about two weeks after flowering. Potato skins thicken and firm up, making them ready for harvesting and storage. Proper application of nutrients ensures the best quality and storability of the potatoes. 

 

Product usage   

• Application of Micromaxx during the maturity stage improves the Tuber development and leads to higher yields of superior quality.

• Enhances the quality and shelf life of the potato.

• Use  Micromaxx at 1 gram per liter of water or 200 grams per acre for foliar spray, and 500 grams per acre for drip irrigation.

• Frequent application throughout the cropping cycle is recommended for optimal results.

 

Watermelon Crop 

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a popular fruit known for its sweet, juicy flesh and high water content, making it a refreshing treat in hot climates. Originating from Africa, it has been cultivated for thousands of years and is now grown worldwide. Watermelons thrive in warm, sunny conditions and well-drained soils. With over 1,000 varieties, they come in various sizes, shapes, and colors, including seedless types. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, watermelons are both delicious and nutritious. Application of  Micromaxx can ensure successful watermelon harvest with increased quality and yield of fruits.

Crop Management with Micromaxx at various stages of watermelon 

1. Vegetative stage

During the vegetative development stage, watermelon plants focus on growing leaves, stems, and vines. This stage begins once the first true leaves appear and lasts about two months. The vines spread out to maximize sunlight absorption for photosynthesis. Proper spacing and support are crucial to accommodate the extensive vine growth. Adequate water and nutrients are essential for robust plant health and preparation for flowering and fruit development. 

 

Product usage 

• Micromaxx promotes vigorous vine and leaf development, photosynthesis,  essential for a healthy plant structure.

• Enhances the plant’s ability to produce more flowers and fruits by supporting robust vegetative growth.

• Application: Use  Micromaxx at 1 gram per liter of water or 200 grams per acre for foliar spray, and 500 grams per acre for drip irrigation.

 

1. Flowering stage

Around 60 days after planting, watermelon plants produce their first yellow flowers, which grow on short stalks from the tendrils. During this stage, both male and female flowers appear, which are essential for pollination. Female flowers, identifiable by a small bulb at the base, will develop into watermelons after successful pollination. Adequate water and nutrients are crucial for healthy flower and fruit formation. 

 

Product usage 

• Application of Micromaxx prevents premature dropping of flowers: Ensures that flowers remain on the plant longer, increasing the chances of successful pollination and fruit set.

• Enhances the development of flowers into fruits, leading to a higher number of watermelons.

• Application: Use  Micromaxx at 1 gram per liter of water or 200 grams per acre for foliar spray, and 500 grams per acre for drip irrigation.

 

1. Fruit development stage

Female flowers appear about 10 days after the first male flowers, and the female flower’s stigma collects pollen from the male flowers. A new fruit begins to grow, and the watermelon is fully grown after about a month. 

 

Product usage 

• Application of Micromaxx ensures that developing fruits remain on the plant until they reach maturity, reducing losses.

• Micromaxx enhances the nutritional content and structural integrity of watermelons, making them more durable and longer lasting, and ensures they reach their full potential in size, sweetness, and overall quality.

• It results in superior watermelons that are more appealing to consumers and better suited for market demands.

• Application: Use Janatha Micromaxx at 1 gram per liter of water or 200 grams per acre for foliar spray, and 500 grams per acre for drip irrigation.

    

Conclusion 

Using Micromaxx throughout the various growth stages of both potato and watermelon crops ensures optimal plant health and productivity. By providing essential nutrients, it enhances chlorophyll concentration, improves photosynthesis, and promotes better flowering and fruit development. This results in higher yields of superior quality produce with improved shelf life. Consistent application of Micromaxx is key to achieving the best results in both potato and watermelon cultivation.
