Potatoes are common vegetable, which can be used with any other vegetable to serve combo. The restaurants are serving the variety of dishes with this vegetable as main vegetable. The housewives are also cook in the similar manner. The potatoes are having good shelf life also. Every household keeps the storage of potatoes to cook at any time.
The one kilogram of potatoes are available in 3-4 numbers and some time more also as 4-6 in numbers consuming lot of space in the store room of the kitchen.
The manufacturers of wafers and potato chips were also purchasing the huge amount of potatoes and have to keep in the proper place with large storage space.
Now Scientists at the Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering (CIAE) in the state capital have tasted success in growing large potatoes, each weighing 1kg. It is believed such huge size potatoes are grown for the first time in the country. Usually, such huge potatoes are imported from other countries by those into production of wafers or potato chips.
KVR Rao, Principal Scientist, in irrigation and drainage department along with his team was able to grow such a huge potato. Rao said, the experiment was successful and plastic munching technique was used. It helped in fast growth of microbes, which in turn triggered tuber’s size by at least three times. Rao said, “By using plastic munching technique, we were able to grow such huge potato. In plastic munching, a special plastic sheet with silver and black colour is installed on the farm land. Then a hole is made in the plastic sheet under which seed is sown.”
