The invention provides a method special for potato cultivation. The method comprises the steps of land and stubble selection, soil preparation, fertilization, ridging, sowing, filming, field irrigation, disease and pest control, timely harvesting and the like. The method is characterized in that soil covering needs to be carried out after filming, namely the film surface needs to be covered with soil soon after filming. According to the method special for potato cultivation, the ridge surface is covered with a 1-1.50cm thick soil layer after filming to enable potato seedlings to burst out of a film naturally, and then the seedling releasing process is eliminated in the seedling stage; by adding the simple soil covering operation after filming, the problems, to which people long for a solution, of occurrence of seedlingless ridges, frequent occurrence of diseases and low efficiency caused by seedling burning, seedling scalding, seedling weakness, sprout rot and block rot due to the fact that seedling releasing is not carried out timely in the seedling stage after filming according to the existing potato cultivation method are solved, the yield-increasing effect is remarkable, and seedling releasing cost is reduced at the same time.
