Not the Green Potatoes

🥔 Potatoes
🟢 Green Potatoes
Green potatoes are a common problem for farmers. Green potatoes occur when exposed to light or not stored properly due to the formation of chlorophyll. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and then this light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air & water from the soil into glucose. Oxygen is then released as a byproduct.
The Green potatoes indicate that they are producing solanine. This is a poison found amongst the nightshade family (potatoes and tomatoes) and Green potatoes as a result of this will be thrown away causing a huge loss in yield and a huge loss in money.
The increase in solanine may cause a bitter taste and adverse reaction green and results from exposure to light under specific temperature conditions the exposure to light can occur in the field with potato tubers poked out of the ground on a storage shelf or at home
☝️Solutions ☑️
Cover potatoes adequately in soil and ensure there is enough space between the plants so the tubers are not forced up and not exposed to too much sunlight.
Store potatoes in a dark, cool place with good circulation. Don’t store longer than necessary.

Using Envirolizer will result in significant improvement in plant growth and productivity due to increased photosynthetic activity and nutrient uptake. As well as better resistance toards physiological stress (hydro, heat stress) due to antioxidant and water preserving activity.  Plus better resistance towards pests and diseases.
