Do you need to break flowers in potatoes to increase the yield

most gardeners keep conservative thought about Intervention in the natural process of plant development. They believe that the yield depends primarily on the timely application of fertilizers and watering. The plants were divided into 3 groups.

did not break off in the first, the buttons were disrupted, and in the third cut the top. It turned out that the first group formed fewer root crops than the other two. But in quality they were better: large, equal, without defects. The third part of the potatoes showed the worst result: 25-30 small root crops. After breaking the plant consumes energy on recovery, so the complete circumcision of the upper part of the shoots is definitely impossible.
