In agricultural technology, the meteor is absolutely simple and does not need to create any special conditions. In addition, it can perfectly adapt to any type of soil and climatic latitudes. The best productivity of the plant is shown on sandy loams and light loam, but also on other soils, with the most minimal care, they are able to please you with a large number of large tubers.

• Meteor tubers can be planted in a very early stages in unheated soil. However, if possible, it is still better to wait for the moment when the soil finally warms up to +8–10 ° C and passes the threat of return frosts.
• before planting, the selection of seed should be carried out. It is better to choose the average in size and mass of tuber, without signs of damage by pests and diseases, as well as without mechanical damage.
• The landing is carried out according to the 35 × 60-65 cm scheme, the depth of 8-10 cm on heavy soils. The holes should be shallow, about 6 cm, or even less.
• During the growing season, plants need minimal care, but do not neglect standard agricultural methods. Timely watering and top dressing, loosening soil and hilling, weeding weeds and preventive treatment against diseases and pests - all this can largely increase the productivity of the variety.
