For our farm we have 200 milking cows holstein, 40 heifers and 70 calves.For the
farm we have 180 ha of land.
Animal units:
200/0.75=266 animal units from milking cows.
40/2=20 animal units from heifers.
70/3.7=19 animal units from calves.

Total animal units:
266+20+19=305 animal units.

Ha of land:
We have 1,7 animal units per ha.
305/1.7=180 ha of land.

Kg of N:
One animal unit its equal to 100 Kg N from slurry tank.
305100=30500 N.

We have 5 Kg of N per tonnes.
30500/5=6100 tonnes of manure in one year from the cows.

We must have 170 Kg N per Ha.
170/5=34 tonnes per Ha (manure that we need for one Ha.)
NPK represents the key constituent chemical elements
Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) used in plant
fertilizers.
N - Nitrogen: promotes the growth of leaves and vegetation
P - Phosphorous: promotes root growth
K - Potassium: promotes flower and fruit growth

Plowing

When you plow the field for potatoes the depth is around 18 cm because
the seed bed must be between 8- 10 cm depth made with the harrow.
Sowing depth for my crops
Potato: Most producers plant seed pieces from 10 to 15 cm below the
peak of the planter hill. Plants from seed pieces planted close to the
surface will emerge earlier. However, soil temperatures near the surface
may be too high for maximum tuber set. Shallow planting will cause the
tubers to set high in the hill, increasing the risk of tuber greening and
frost. Depending on soil moisture and temperatures, seed pieces that are
planted too deep may have a higher incidence of decay.

Seed sorting, TVG ,Sorting before planting :

Seed in kg./ ha =
Desired number of plants per. m
2
x TGV

Percentage field germination


Sorting before planting is done twice; once in the storage area and again
in the field before the seed potatoes are planted. Sort in the storage area
by removing those seeds damaged by pests and disease. You should not
plant seed potatoes damaged by pests and disease. Another important
characteristic to pay attention to when sorting is the uniform length of
the shoots. In the field, seed potatoes that have been damaged in
transport should also be separated out.

Fertiliser
We put fertiliser 5 cm below the tuber and 10 cm to either side of the
tuber.

I mportant things to know when applying fertilizer are:
Plants nutrient requirements in relation to estimated yield.
Quantities of nutrients in the field available for plants.
Use for spraying:Amistar,Karate 250WG
Spraying for weeds ,insects,fungus:
Price: - kg: 176,00 kr. per total pesticide needed: 50*176 =8800,00 kr.
-tractor work: 7.750,00 kr.
-per ha: (8800,00+7.750)/50ha =331kr / ha.
Price: - kg: 125,00 kr. per total pesticide needed: 6250,00 kr.
-tractor work: 7.750,00 kr.
-per ha: (6250,00+7.750)/50ha =280,00kr/ha

I rrigation:
Good irrigation systems:
Prevent the field from flooding.
Prevent the entry and spread of water-borne diseases.
Make it easy for water to enter the field when plants need it, especially in the dry
season.

Harvest :

Harvest time is influenced by potato prices and weather. When prices and weather
are favorable, you can harvest a bit earlier and spread the produce out for a few days
to allow tuber skins to harden. However, when prices and weather are not favorable,
you can delay harvesting. Harvesting in the rain might cause tubers to rot. You
should not delay the harvest for more than 10 days, as delays of any longer will
cause more tubers to become damaged by pests such as mole crickets, or bacterial
diseases and scab. Damaged tubers will fetch a lower selling price.
