The best potato varieties for the middle lane - choose according to yield

To date, more than 280 species of this vegetable have been registered, intended for cultivation in a temperate climatic zone. They are specially acclimatized and included in the register of vegetable crops recommended for industrial cultivation for export and storage. Consider the most famous varieties that allow you to harvest large yields.

1. Idaho potatoes. Everyone knows the dish of the same name, which is prepared in almost every restaurant, but few people realize that there is a special kind of vegetable from which it is made. It is distinguished by its large size and regular shape, due to which it can be cut into 8 identical slices and baked in spices. Among other things, it also has a high yield - up to 550 c / ha, and this figure is real for home cultivation, not only in the selection area. Excellent resistance to many diseases, as well as early maturity, make it one of the best in Russia. Contains a lot of starch and carbohydrates, due to which it is very nutritious and healthy.
2. Bellarose Potatoes. Early ripe, grown on the territory of Slovakia, Poland, Belarus, Russia, is characterized by high yields and large fruit sizes. When watering at least 3 times per season and fertilizing with organic substances, it can give up to 350 c / ha, moreover, the berry itself has a regular oval shape and a slightly brownish color. It boils very quickly and has excellent taste.An early ripe variety, therefore, in the southern regions of Russia, 2 crops are grown per season. It is often used as animal feed, as it is characterized by increased nutritional value, and the starch content reaches 19%. Planting depth - up to 25 centimeters, on average 1 fruit weighs 200 grams, but often reaches 500-600 grams, especially with regular watering. Bela Rosa potatoes are planted mainly after legumes, since it grows worse on depleted soils and it is not worth counting on more than 150 c / ha.
3. Rosar's potato variety. Early ripe, about 76 days to technical ripeness, contains a lot of starch (from 13 to 17.6%), differs from others in its color - the berries are sometimes red, but, most often, brown. The fruits are relatively small, only 150 grams, but under 1 bush there can be up to 20-30 pieces, depending on the soil and watering, since the plant loves a lot of water. With excellent care, up to 530 c / ha can be harvested, but average yields, as a rule, do not exceed 290-320 c / ha (300 kg from 1 are). The bushes are large, up to 70 centimeters in height, and the stems are thick and strong. Rosar's potatoes are not susceptible to powdery mildew and fungal diseases, but the Colorado potato beetle loves to feast on its leaves.
4. The Gala potato variety is medium early, to technical ripeness from 59 to 68 days. The fruits are yellow in color, they are quite large (they can grow up to 400 grams), 5-6 pieces under a bush, as a rule, but it can be larger if the plant is fed during the growing season. The yield is up to 340 kg / ha, and 80% of all tubers have large berries. Gala potatoes are relatively resistant to diseases, processed with pesticides only in rare cases, when the invasion of fungi or microorganisms exceeds the permissible norms. As for the bushes, they look much worse than what is in the ground - they are not high, only 45-50 centimeters long, the stems are thin and "lethargic" in appearance, sometimes yellow. You need to apply a lot of fertilizer for the plant to look healthy and release a lot of chlorophyll.
5. Potato variety Luck. One of the elite seed materials, it requires careful maintenance, constant watering and a lot of fertilization, but it rewards the gardener generously - you can collect up to 960 centners per hectare! The average weight of one tuber is 180 grams, but giants weighing 400 (the record is 4.2 kg) and even 600 grams are often found! Mid-season, the period until technical maturation is 83-96 days. It contains up to 14% starch, the plant easily tolerates lower temperatures, as well as heat, only with good watering. Up to 25 tubers are formed under the bush, which is a record for such a size of each potato! Another excellent advantage of the variety is its keeping quality - the vegetable can be stored up to 7-9 months without any morphological changes, does not lose its taste, and is perfectly transported.

These were varieties that have above average yield potential. But remember that they do not guarantee you 500-800 c / ha, and, moreover, they are not obliged to give that much. To get record yields, it is necessary to provide excellent growing conditions, only then the vegetable will delight you when harvesting in the fall!

The most delicious potatoes - varieties, description and characteristics

For many gardeners, yield is a secondary indicator, since the most important thing is excellent taste. The vegetable should boil well, be soft, and not form lumps during the cooking process. Let's consider the most delicious varieties in more detail.

1. Picasso potatoes. It is not worth waiting for a high yield - up to 240 kg / ha, it does not give more even in breeding plots. But this disadvantage is easily compensated by the quality of the vegetable. It has a very thin skin, so it is often not even peeled, but simply washed before cooking. After 15-20 minutes after heat treatment, it boils down and disintegrates, has an excellent taste, due to which it is so popular with all summer residents. The only negative is that it is poorly stored and by the middle of spring the tubers can turn black, wither and just rot - dry rot is the main problem of this vegetable.The Picasso potato variety requires careful processing with pesticides, since even at the earliest stages of development, it is attacked by insects, fungi, mold and even powdery mildew forms, especially if the summer is wet. Half of the problems are eliminated by processing with copper sulfate.
2. Tuleevsky potatoes. Another "delicious" Russian selection. Lovers and gourmets appreciate this vegetable, as it combines all the advantages of its predecessors. It boils quickly and has a thin rind. Of course there are drawbacks, the main one being poor drought tolerance. In the northern regions of Russia, it grows without problems, but at a temperature of +25 and above it begins to "burn", the leaves wither, and the tubers that are close to the surface turn green. The Tuleyevsky potato variety is not used for export abroad, as well as for long-term storage, after 6-7 months it begins to wither, is exposed to fungal diseases. As a rule, it is not planted in large quantities and is consumed in the first months after harvesting.
3. Dauphine potatoes. This is one of the most delicious options. It was originally bred in Holland, but 2 years after cultivation in breeding plots, it began to be exported to European countries and Russia. Now it is one of the most famous varieties, which gives up to 220 c / ha, while earth apples are distinguished by excellent taste, keeping quality, large size - up to 350 grams 1 fruit, the average weight is 170 grams. The number of tubers under 1 bush reaches 20 pieces, but only under the condition of abundant watering.
4. Potato pie. If you are going to grow potatoes for yourself, then the Pai variety is the most correct solution. It combines 2 main advantages: high yield and excellent taste. If foliar top dressing is applied correctly and watered periodically, you can collect up to 390 centners / ha, and at home. The mass of tubers reaches 400 grams, and they all have the correct shape, due to which they are in great demand for sale. The bushes are large, up to 80 centimeters in height, the stems are strong, not brittle. Resistant to many diseases, in particular to fungi and powdery mildew. It boils quickly and has a thin rind.

The flavor of vegetables depends not only on the variety you choose, but also on other factors, such as moisture. If the plant has a constant lack of water, then the skin of the tubers will be much thicker than usual, and the flesh itself will be much harder.

What to plant on clay and sandy soils?

In the middle lane, soils are often found that do not have excellent characteristics, do not contain a large amount of nutrients, and sometimes are even unsuitable for growing many plants. What to do in such cases, not plant anything at all? Of course, nothing can be collected on stones and clean sand - this is a fact. But there are some varieties of potatoes that can yield up to 50-100 kg from 1 hundred square meters on clay and sandy soils. Of course, this is not 700-900 kg per hundred square meters, but something is better than nothing at all. Let us now consider the most persistent representatives.

1. Adretta. Despite the fact that the homeland of the vegetable is Germany, and not Russia, it has taken root very well in our territory. It is highly resistant to drought and requires a minimum amount of fertilizer, due to which it is grown in many regions throughout the Russian Federation. The stems are low, only 45-60 centimeters, has wide leaves, due to which photosynthesis occurs better, and tubers are formed faster. With constant watering, it can give up to 250 c / ha even on clay soil, but the average indicator is 125 c / ha. A little, but without fertilizers and any chemicals. It grows well on sandy soils, the average weight of one tuber is 130 grams.
2. Elizabeth.Medium early, extremely resistant to droughts, grows practically without additional watering in mid-latitudes, is not susceptible to late blight, as well as to infectious diseases. The yield on clay and sandy soils is up to 250 c / ha, if there is no fertilizer at all and the loam is hard, then the indicator will drop to 80-90 c / ha. With foliar feeding, the number can triple, since the plant is very responsive to them. It is recommended to water 2-3 weeks before flowering in order to promote the formation of large tubers as much as possible.
3. Aspia. A bit unusual in relation to taste - it has a light fruity flavor, which many people like, it boils well. It is extremely resistant to droughts, it can survive temperatures of +35 degrees for several weeks, which is an excellent indicator. The bushes are large, up to 85 centimeters, but when grown on clay soils, they will be much smaller. You can expect up to 150 c / ha with standard care on poor soil. If the soil is fertile, then you can easily collect 450-500 kg from one hundred square meters.
4. Tandem. Most recently, it entered the domestic market and has proven itself to be resistant to high temperatures. Due to the fact that the fruits are small in size, it requires a minimum of fertilizers and moisture. If you are satisfied with tubers weighing 60-80 grams - this is ideal for poor soils!

Remember that the above species do not guarantee you a large harvest in all weather conditions and soils, they simply have increased resistance to adverse factors. They also react less to heat, which is destructive for many plants and significantly reduces their productivity. It is necessary to use foliar feeding, root fertilizers, as well as watering. The tonnage that you collect from your area depends on this.

Often the potato varieties Bellarosa, Titan, Pushkinsky, Karelia and others known to all gardeners are planted on poor soils, but, in this case, you need to carefully look after them. If left to their own devices, their development, tubers can simply atrophy.

Yielding potato varieties

Greetings, friends!

Elizaveta variety

Every year we are more and more convinced that it is better to grow our own, domestic varieties of potatoes than foreign ones. Ours are created for our conditions. According to its main indicators - the content of starch, protein, vitamin C, in terms of resistance to diseases - modern productive varieties of potatoes significantly surpass everything that was cultivated on collective farms, state farms, joint-stock companies, farms and private gardens of citizens in Soviet times.

Foreigners are showing great interest in new varieties of Russian breeding, possessing natural immunity against a number of diseases. Our Petersburg and Elizaveta varieties yield a yield one and a half times higher than the Dutch ones, and at the same time do not require repeated chemical treatments against diseases, as happens when growing imported varieties.

Olga Ilyinichna Zueva, candidate of agricultural sciences, now head of the Vsevolozhsk selection station, took part in their creation.

Several years ago Olga Ilyinichna Zueva gave me her wonderful tubers. I verbalized them, planted them in the country and this is what I noticed. Each season these new plants stand out with a special article. They have strong, thick, well leafy stems, up to a dozen in each bush. The bushes themselves are densely knocked down, long-legged. The leaves were all summer without a single painful spot. I spilled it twice - and no more leaving. I dug up the harvest in September. Each bush produced from 15 to 20 even, clean large tubers weighing 250 - 300 grams. Then I said to myself with surprise: this Elizabeth is a real mother-heroine! She is highly productive, she grew 20 tubers, did not get late blight, did not get scab. At the time of filling it grew without watering.All summer I traveled on business trips - Elizabeth did not languish in separation, she did her business, in the dark underground kingdom she prepared for me stocks of delicious food for the long winter.

The potato has become a culture of unlimited possibilities. Breeders have created unique software

Variety Spring white

early ripening varieties that can even in the North-West of Russia give two full harvests from one garden in one summer. This is the super early Spring White variety: it can be harvested 1.5 months after germination, while the yield is 3-4 kilograms per square meter. We dug it out - we plant it again! I saw vegetable gardens with potatoes White spring in the Arctic, near Murmansk. There the whole summer lasts a day. And this potato manages to give the gardener a decent harvest of delicious tubers.

Potatoes of the Nevsky variety, created in Belogorka near St. Petersburg, received

Variety Nevsky

most widespread in the country. Delicious, high yielding, rich in protein and starch, it is very resistant to late blight, but it has a serious disadvantage. Nevsky does not tolerate damage to sprouts, they cannot be broken out. It requires adherence to a certain technology. Got out non-sprouted tubers from storage - put them immediately on vernalization (see the article "Preparing potatoes for planting"), let them grow over with short, thick shoots. From them - the harvest. And if the tubers have sprouted in the storage, intertwined with long white shoots and even broken off, there is nothing to wait.

New products of the 21st century are already replacing these tried and tested varieties. Passed state variety testing, showed in practice real resistance to golden potato nematode and potato crayfish varieties Ryabinushka and Radonezhsky. Both varieties are medium early, yield up to 480 centners of tubers per hectare (three times higher than the marketable yield of many industrial varieties in the North-West region of Russia). Ryabinushka's tubers are red, oval, the eyes are superficial, the flesh is white, it does not darken when cut.

Variety Radonezh

Starch - up to 18 percent. You can even cook chips from Ryabinushka.

The Radonezh variety produces oval tubers, creamy with pink spots. Usually the eyes are red, small. The pulp is creamy, does not darken when cutting, excellent taste.

The real yield of up to 500 centners per hectare is shown by the new potato variety Aurora. It is also resistant to nematodes. The tubers are beautiful, with red eyes. Lovers call him "red-eyed".

To rapidly multiply new productive varieties of potatoes you can germinate the tubers in advance in the light, then sprinkle with wet peat. Seedlings together with roots are cut from the tuber and planted in the garden in the same way as tomato seedlings.

The mother tubers are again planted in peat and a second batch of seedlings is taken from them.

In this way, dozens of independent potato plants are obtained from one tuber, and by autumn hundreds of seed tubers are harvested for mass planting next year.

Popular and productive varieties of potatoes

Potatoes are, without a doubt, one of the staple foods. A lot of attention is paid to him both on the table and in the garden. To get a rich harvest, you must first of all study well the potato varieties and soil that are most suitable for each variety. Climatic conditions also play an important role. After all, the same variety gives completely different harvests in different regions. In addition, one potato variety will not be enough for different dishes. Root vegetables that are boiled are not suitable for salads, but they are perfect for mashed potatoes.

According to breeders, agronomists and ordinary summer residents who grow this crop, the best potato varieties are Nevskaya, Slavyanka, Lugovskaya, Sineglazka, Charodeyka. Each of them has already found a buyer. However, every year new varieties of potatoes appear. These are such as Povigne, Bellarosa, Adretta, Temp, Olbia, Riviera.

The Riviera variety is of particular interest. It is resistant to various diseases, and can give a second crop. When boiled, it boils well and tastes good.

But many varieties have simply been erased from memory. It turns out that potatoes tend to degenerate. This process takes place gradually, not in one year. If earlier the sprouts were strong and thick, then over time they become frail and thin. Germination is also not encouraging. The bushes become low and the leaves are corrugated. Such weak plants are primarily attacked by Colorado beetles. This is due to the fact that low bushes have an increased concentration of cell sap, so beetles develop and reproduce on them very quickly.

In addition, tubers become irregular, that is, they can be curved, shapeless, and unproductive. Sometimes a whole pea family can be dug under a bush. There are all the signs of degeneration of this potato variety. All this suggests that it is necessary to change the planting material.

There are many varieties with high yields. For example, the versatile variety Timo, which can be grown on all types of soil. Its tubers are white, have a beautiful shape, and contain a large amount of starch. When stored for a long time, they do not acquire a dark shade. This variety is resistant to prolonged cold snaps.

The Blue variety has good reviews. It is mid-season, has increased resistance to late blight and many other diseases. Many potato varieties do not withstand late blight, as a result, the ground part of them dies. The tops of plants of this variety remain green and intact, the yield does not deteriorate. Also this Blueness tolerates drought well, unlike many other varieties.

The Nevsky variety is considered to be medium early. It has become widespread in fields and gardens. Nevsky potatoes have the most beautiful and even tubers that other varieties do not have. It is endowed with excellent taste, allowing this variety to stay in one of the first places. Late blight and other diseases are not terrible for such plants. If ash is added to the soil, then the potatoes become even more crumbly.

Another equally common potato variety is Lugovskoy. Potato growers are attracted by the stable and high yields of this variety. From one hundred square meters you can get one and a half tons of potatoes. Lugovskoy potatoes are distinguished by the fact that their tubers have increased friability and good taste. They are high in starch, protein and vitamin C.

You can endlessly talk about potatoes and their useful qualities. There is no person who would speak negatively about this product. Potatoes can rightfully be called our second bread.

Choosing potato varieties for the middle lane

They say: "potatoes are the second bread." And for good reason! It is very difficult to find a vegetable garden or a summer cottage that does not have potatoes. On the table, this culture occupies almost the main place in every family. And to write down all the recipes for cooking potato dishes, not a single cookbook is enough.

Each gardener strives for a high harvest, and in order to achieve it, it is not enough to take care of it correctly, you also need to know which potato varieties are suitable for the middle lane.

There are 4 types of potato varieties:

1. early varieties - recommended for summer eating, not stored for a long time;
2. medium early - these varieties are for short-term storage, exclusively in cold warehouses;
3. mid-season - the most popular potato varieties for central Russia;
4. late-ripening varieties - practically do not ripen in our region.

Based on the long-term experiments of agronomists, it is possible to make a selection of potato varieties that are most suitable for growing in central Russia.

The most fruitful potato varieties

Early maturing varieties:

• Luck - high yielding, resistant to wet rot and viral diseases;
• Friendly - productive, resistant to bacterial rot, cancer, scab.

Mid-early varieties:

• Condor - has a yellowish color and an elongated shape, the culture is resistant to viral diseases;
• Latona - does not boil over, is not afraid of late blight and cancer;
• Romano - has large tubers, is resistant to photofluoride and pathogenic viruses.

Mid-season varieties:

• Slavyanka - resistant to nematodes, cancer and viral infections;
• Hybrid 14 - a productive variety, resistant to bacterial cancer;
• Roko is a high-yielding variety that can be stored well.
• Bronnitsky - high-yielding, resistant to photofluorosis, fusarium, ring rot.

Many agronomists are tricky - they plant several varieties of potatoes at once. Any one will definitely give a big harvest.

Belarusian varieties are ubiquitous, as the tubers have an excellent presentation, and the taste properties of the potatoes are at a high level. Potatoes bred in Belarus also grow well in Russia and Ukraine.

Belarusian potato varieties

Since Belarus itself divided into three climatic zones, then the varieties were developed specifically for each zone, so that the tubers gave the planned yield. In this country, potatoes are the second most important bread.

Everyone knows the important role of potatoes for Belarus

And therefore, the development of new varieties that give stable large yields is treated with great interest.

Potato breeding in Belarus

Today the country ranks seventh in the world in potato cultivation and selection in the country does not stand still. New developments appear that meet all the requirements of global standards.

Before you start mass planting tests of each grade are carried out for 12 years and only then is the variety registered. At the moment, universal species are not being created - they are created for certain climatic zones capable of giving a large harvest on any soil.

The varieties are distinguished by their high taste. Now they are breeding potatoes capable of storing tubers for a fairly long time at a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius.

In Belarus, the type of local selection is quite well-known. Zhuravinka is cultivated by every second farm. It has 18.5% starch, reddish skin and creamy flesh.
Harvested per hectare 640 c. Excellent nutritional properties and good disease resistance.

The fruit of the selection of Belarusian scientists is the Skarb variety - which in translation from the Belarusian language means “wealth”. This is not an accidental name, because the tubers themselves, when excavated, resemble gold ingots. The skin of the tuber is yellowish and round in shape.

Scarb for dining purposes with a starch content of 16.5%. When cooked, the tubers do not change their color to a dark color. At the same time, it is remarkably preserved, and 645 centners are collected. from one hectare.

Scientists believe that Scarb can also be used as a natural admixture for soil in order to cleanse it of harmful components.

Breeders of the Belarusian Research Institute produced by Zorachka... This type is harvested up to 310 centners. from one hectare. The variety is round and large.The skin is yellowish, the pulp is the color of homemade butter.

Zorachka excellently resists disease, and remains dense until the end of winter.

Belarusian potato varieties

The Belarusian selected vegetable is popular not only in Belarus itself, but also in the states that are engaged in the cultivation of potatoes.

Among them:

• Scarb
• Breeze
• Uladar
• Manifesto
• Zhuravinka
• Bellarosa
• Impala
• Red Scarlet

These types are used in the preparation of various dishes... For production, they grow or acquire - Zdabytak, Atlant, Signum, Maximum.

In these grades, an overestimated starch capacity and from it are made:

1. Starch.
2. Alcohol.
3. Syrup.

Belarusian potato varieties are good because they are subdivided into different agro-climatic areas for cultivation.

The best varieties for planting in Belarus

Now they choose species with a starch content in a fairly large proportion, as this answers requirements for culinary and industrial consumption... In correlation with the desired effect in the manufacturer's catalog, the species are divided into groups with different purposes.

There is also a range of varieties in terms of ripening time. But the most popular are medium and autumn ripening species due to the fact that they have a long storage period without effort.

Table 1... Mid-season species that mature in 105 days.

Species name	Tubers	Pulp	Productivity, t / ha	Disease resistance
Dubrava	Yellow shade and rounded shape	Cream	50,0	To crayfish and scab
Krinitsa	Yellow and oval	Creamy	49,8	To cancer, scab and nematode
Volat	Yellow and oval	Cream	62,4	To cancer, scab and nematode

table 2... Medium late species that mature in 115 days.

Species name	Tubers	Pulp	Productivity, t / ha	Disease resistance
Zarnitsa	Light pink oval	Beige	52,7	High
Zdabytak	Red oval	White	60,7	High
Maximum	Yellowish oval	Cream	56,8	High

Species that ripen in mid-autumn may be damaged by the first cold weather, and therefore varieties are cultivated only in the southern regions.

Benefits of Belarusian varieties

On the territory of the republic more than 100 species are cultivated varied in terms of growing potatoes. All types are zoned for different areas. The tests take a long time to understand how adaptable the potato will be when grown in a particular region.

Also, the tubers are bred in such a way that the food and commercial qualities are at the level of foreign selection. But unlike her, you do not need to do an annual renewal of the planting seed.

The fact that farmers do not need to regularly renew seed for planting significantly saves the budget of farms.

Planting potatoes do not require large fertilizers and large harvests of potatoes are harvested from the areas, having the qualities:

1. Productivity.
2. The evenness of tubers relative to the shape.
3. Presentable appearance.
4. Resistance to diseases inherent in nightshade plants.
5. Excellent taste.
6. Excellent preservation in winter.

The republic has a well-equipped technical station and elite knowledge of agronomists developing new types of potatoes. Moreover, the obtained seed material sells well, since sales to various countries have long been established.

A lot of elite seed material for sowing potatoes is produced in the republic, which is sold after approbation by a state inspector who monitors the quality of the material. All this has been going on for over 100 years.

Features of planting and care

To help out a large harvest annually from a personal plot, first of all, you need to acquire healthy seed material that matches the species.

Before planting, seed potatoes are germinated for 20 days at a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius.

The rest cultivation agrotechnology does not differ and includes:

• Weeding;
• Watering;
• Loosening;
• Fertilizers;
• Treatments for the Colorado potato beetle and viral diseases.

At the same time, the soil for a large potato crop should also be light and fertile.

Competently approach the cultivation of potatoes, creating the necessary conditions - this will be the necessary options for obtaining a good high-quality crop.

Potatoes are great for dishes around the world

Giving preference to potatoes produced in the Republic of Belarus, you can be sure that in August-September we will dig out a harvest of high-quality potatoes. If at the same time adhere to the recommended agricultural techniques, then yields will be stable.

Today, 282 types of potatoes have been registered, most of which are in total in Russia and Belarus. Almost all varieties are acclimatized to a temperate climatic zone and are recommended for cultivation and export sales. Given that it makes no sense to list all the varieties, we will only describe the best potato varieties for central Russia, for Siberia, the Urals and the Moscow region. At the same time, we will focus on those that give the largest harvest and those that ripen before everyone else.

The best productive varieties of potatoes

There is no point in describing what is remarkable about potatoes. It is only necessary to correctly navigate in its forms in order to choose the best varieties before planting, taking into account the characteristics of the climate, ripening time, the size of the root crop and storage characteristics. Typically, if potatoes are grown in large quantities, they are expected to last throughout the winter.

The varieties listed below yield more than average yields - about 700 centners per hectare. But at the same time, it is imperative to properly care for it, fertilize, weed and remove pests in a timely manner.

Idaho

It is mainly used to prepare the American dish of the same name, but in general this variety stands out for its almost perfectly flat shape and high yield - up to 600 centners per hectare.

Resistant to most diseases, refers to early ripening, fast-ripening varieties. The most nutritious of all early ripening forms due to its high concentration of starch and carbohydrates.

Idaho

Bela Rosa (Bellarosa)

With proper care, it gives more than 400 centners per hectare, but on average in Russia this figure is 350-375 centners. Popular not only in our country, but also in Belarus - the homeland of potatoes. An even root vegetable weighing up to 0.5 kg, boils well, has a sweetish taste, and has a high carbohydrate content. The crop itself requires at least triple watering during the season and regular fertilization with organic matter.

Planting recommendations - plant after harvesting legumes on fertilized soil (when planting on depleted soil, the yield will not exceed 100 c / ha). Depth - up to 25 cm, water 2 times before the color appears, 1 time after, but gently at the root.

Bellarosa

Rosara

Early ripening form (74-76 days before technical maturity). The color of the peel is unusual - from brown to almost red.Root crops are miniature (no more than 150 grams), but there are at least 20 of them in one bush. Requires regular watering - the more often this is done, the greater the yield will be in quantity - up to 30 pieces under one bush. Despite the average statistical figure of 300 centners per hectare, in reality the yield is 1.5-2 times higher, which, we repeat, depends on the quality and timeliness of care.

The variety is resistant to various diseases, but very tasty for the Colorado potato beetle. It is recommended to pick it daily to preserve foliage and not interrupt photosynthesis.

Rosara

The best varieties of potatoes for taste

Not everyone is looking for the best potato varieties for central Russia, focusing only on the amount of harvest. For many, the taste and benefits are very important, how well it boils and does not form lumps during cooking. Among such forms are the following.

Picasso

With a relatively low yield (200-250 c / ha), this root crop will give odds to anyone in taste and quality. Firstly, it is a very thin peel that does not even need to be peeled off - it is enough to rinse the vegetable well with a brush. Secondly, the cooking speed is only a quarter of an hour and the dish is ready. Thirdly, the taste, which, as mentioned earlier, compensates for a small amount of root vegetables. There is only one significant drawback - it persists poorly for a long time, and after 2-3 months it begins to turn black and becomes soft.

Picasso

In order to keep the potatoes as long as possible, it is recommended to sprinkle them with apples on top. So it will not give off shoots for a long time and will rub off its structure throughout the winter.

Before planting Picasso, it is recommended to thoroughly treat the area, and then use the correct herbicides. The variety is very susceptible to various diseases, is loved by Colorado beetles, does not tolerate drought and frost. But most of the problems are solved by treatment with copper sulfate.

Tuleyevsky

A product of domestic breeders, which tastes amazing and yields above average (about 300 c / ha). Among the advantages - a thin peel, quickly boiled down, does not give lumps, is rich in starch and carbohydrates, very satisfying. Of the minuses - susceptibility to disease, does not tolerate drought, and even worse - frost. Poorly stored, withers quickly. Basically, Tuleyevsky is grown "for themselves", not for export, and they use it during the first 1-2 months after harvest, so as not to let the potatoes "stale".

Tuleyevsky

Dauphine (Dauphin)

For the first time the form was bred in Holland, later acclimatized to the middle zone of Russia. Today it is not just the best variety for the Moscow region or Siberia, but the most famous, which gives a really delicious harvest with an average "fertility" of about 250 centners per hectare. It differs not only in good taste, but also in excellent keeping quality, withstanding 7-9 months without loss of shape and hardness, large tubers - 300-350 grams and a large number of root crops under one bush - 20-22 pieces, subject to regular and abundant watering.

Dauphin

Share

It is most often chosen for home use, although it gives good results in breeding areas. With a relatively high yield, Pai also differs in taste, which favorably distinguishes it from other varieties. The tubers are large (up to 400 grams), of the correct shape, up to 15 root crops are collected under one bush. The bushes are tall, strong, resilient. The Colorado potato beetle is present, but in moderation. It is resistant to diseases, but requires abundant watering and timely fertilization, starting from the hole and ending with foliar feeding. If all the recommendations are followed, up to 400 centners can be collected per season.

Share

Only 50% of the taste depends on the right variety. The rest is due to the regularity of care.If the vegetable is not watered, then the peel will be much thicker than predicted, the number of tubers is less, and in size they will be inferior to those declared by the breeders.

At the same time, it is recommended to plant potatoes after legumes, otherwise, when planting in poor soil, the number of root crops will be reduced by 2-3 times. Keeps well throughout the winter, does not soften and generally does not sprout if there is no sunlight. It is advisable to sort out the tubers 1-2 times during the winter in order to remove the blackened and rotten specimens.

Latona

Red Scarlett

Bred by Dutch breeders, but is very popular in Russia and Belarus. Today it is the most popular variety among summer residents and gardeners.

More than 20 tubers are formed under the bush, the taste is at a height, it tolerates drought and frost well, but it is advisable to water at least 3-4 times very abundantly per season. Fruits are medium-sized, but regular in shape and easily peeled off.
