Seed rate: For cultivation of high yielding varieties of potatoes, 600 kg of seeds are required. Certified varieties of certified seeds will be collected from good sources.

Planting distance: For planting the entire potato, distance from row to row should be 60 centimeters and the distance of potato from potato should be 25 centimeters. In the case of cutting potatoes, the distance from row to row should be 45 centimeters and potatoes should be given distance of 15 centimeters.
