Every gardener wants to grow the best potato variety on his plot. But choosing it from the four hundred available is not an easy task.

The best potato varieties for growing in Russia and their description

To choose a potato for your site, decide what you expect from it. This will greatly facilitate the search process and protect you from unnecessary, completely unnecessary information. When choosing, be guided by the following indicators:

• yield;
• preferences for a particular type of soil and climatic conditions;
• the rate of fruit formation;
• care requirements;
• resistance to various diseases and pests;
• endurance in unfavorable weather conditions for potatoes;
• taste and visual appeal of tubers.

There are many varieties of potatoes, of course, good and worthy of our attention. Let's consider the most popular ones.

Early, middle, late - which is better

Let's start with the fact that potatoes are subdivided into 4 types according to their ripening rate:

• early (60–80 days);
• medium early (80–90 days);
• mid-season (90-110 days);
• late ripening (110–120 days).

Early varieties form tubers faster and, accordingly, gardeners get a harvest earlier. The disadvantage of this type of potato can be safely attributed to poor keeping quality: during storage, the fruits begin to deteriorate very quickly. Therefore, early potatoes are grown exclusively in small quantities, and once dug up, they are immediately cooked for food.

Medium late types of potatoes have a longer growing season, but the yield is higher and the tubers are tastier. And they can be stored until next spring without losing their consumer properties. Therefore, the popularity of medium potatoes among gardeners is much higher.

The late type of potato has too long growing season, therefore, in many regions of the country, it is simply not grown - it does not allow a short warm period.

Best Seed Potato

Sowing seed potatoes is your investment. How competently and responsibly you approach it, so rich and get a harvest. For one hundred square meters you will need about 20-30 kg of planting material. Large tubers sprouted and cut in half are acceptable for planting.

Karlena, Romance, Riviera, Vega are recognized as the best among seed. They have a high yield (350-500 kg), excellent taste and unpretentious cultivation.

Soil types and varieties

Speaking about the types of soil for potatoes, we can confidently say that the most preferable for growing it is fertile black soil. Any plants on it grow and bear fruit remarkably.

Sandy soils

Sandy soil has a lot of disadvantages that complicate the life of plants and increase the labor costs of gardeners. It quickly heats up and cools down, practically does not retain moisture (plants require more frequent watering), there are practically no microorganisms in it (it is necessary to add peat, humus or compost), water washes out all useful substances from the sand (dressing should be applied in mineral forms). Only a drought-resistant potato variety can grow in it.

Drought tolerant varieties

Drought-resistant varieties photo

Plants have adapted to difficult conditions: with wide foliage, they create a shade around the bush and do not allow moisture to evaporate from the soil. Some plants have even learned to fold their leaves to maximize moisture retention.

Clay soils

Clay soil is not the most favorable for growing potatoes. It is distinguished by high viscosity, density, and water resistance. In this regard, plants are completely unable to take advantage of the beneficial substances that it contains. To improve the composition of such soil, you can add sawdust, sand or ash to it. The only way to deal with the hard crust on its surface, which is formed after rains and watering, is by loosening.

Growing potatoes in such difficult conditions is necessary only in ridges or in high beds, adhering to a shallow planting. To increase the yield, apply manure, compost or peat under autumn plowing, at least 30 cm deep, at the rate of 6-8 kg per 1 sq. / M.

On clay soils, good results are consistently shown by Gatchinsky, Golubizna, Zarevo, Istrinsky, Lasunok, Lugovskoy, Luk'yanovsky, Nevsky, Rozara.

On sandy and clayey soils, the Cleopatra variety showed itself equally well, it is completely unpretentious and tolerates drought. Productivity - 133-205 kg per one hundred square meters. The fruits are large, quickly recovering from mechanical damage. Gardeners give extremely positive reviews about him.

Cleopatra is successfully grown on heavy clay and sandy soils

Climate dependence

Each region of the country has its own climatic features that have both beneficial and detrimental effects on plants.

In the Moscow region, the climate is not the best for growing potatoes. Here varieties that are resistant to moisture, which this region is famous for, are suitable. These can be Vesna, Zhukovsky early, Timo Khankkiyan (popularly better known as simply Timo), Nevsky, Kondor, Romano or Lugovskoy. In general, in the Moscow region it is difficult to achieve the desired potato harvest, therefore it is best to plant zoned varieties on the site.

• Spring white - early ripening variety (75-80 days), zoned in the European part of the country and in Siberia. Productivity - 320-410 kg per one hundred square meters. Disease resistance is average. Due to the short growing season, it is suitable for cultivation in the Arctic. It is possible to get two harvests per season. Tubers are light beige, oval, weighing up to 180 grams.

Spring white does not require chemical treatment

• Timo Hankkiyan is a Finnish variety, unpretentious to the type of soil, with good tolerance to prolonged cold snaps, sudden jumps in air temperature, excessive humidity and drought. Differs in resistance to viruses and pests. Productivity - from 150 to 300 kg per one hundred square meters. Tubers are white, weighing 60–120 grams, tasty, multi-starch, do not darken during storage.

Timo has beautiful white fruits

It should be noted that reviews of Timo among gardeners are extremely ambiguous. Someone came to the garden, and someone assures that his indicators, including taste, are extremely overestimated by breeders.

Plant at least three varieties of potatoes on your plot, preferably at different ripening times. This will significantly reduce the likelihood of being left without a crop. Appropriate care is key in cultivating potatoes, which are not a weed and will not grow on their own.

The choice of Leningrad gardeners - early and middle varieties. Their first harvest takes place in July.

• Hope is an early variety, unsightly for the Colorado potato beetle. Unpretentious in cultivation. Suitable for the central zone of Russia and the Urals. The maximum yield threshold is 416 kg per one hundred square meters. Delicious yellow fruits weighing 90-160 grams.

Hope is resistant to the Colorado potato beetle

• Latona is a Dutch unpretentious variety that perfectly tolerates both drought and heavy rains. Fruits are yellow, oval-round, weighing 90-140 grams, excellent taste, with a high starch content.

Latona tolerates both high humidity and drought well

Of the middle-late varieties, Eliseevsky, Lena, Volosovsky, Krinitsa, Rosinka grow well here, which are not at all afraid of late blight and the Colorado potato beetle.

The Central Black Earth Region has very good climatic conditions for growing any potato.

The most common varieties are:

• early - Vineta, Zhukovsky early, Krepysh, Latona, Neptune, Rosara, Bullfinch, Luck;
• mid-early - Arhidea, Zekura, Condor, Crown, Lakomka, Nevsky, Odysseus, Ramos, Charodey;
• mid-season - Aspia, Zhivitsa, Lugovskoy, Olympus, Resurs, Sokolsky;
• late - Belorussky 3, Golubizna, Lasunak, Lorkh, Naroch, Picasso, Pobeda, Temp.

Siberia and the Urals are areas of risky farming. Not every potato variety can adapt to their climatic characteristics. Short summers, frequent cold snaps, abrupt change of intense heat with rains and cold nights. Alena, Priekulskiy, Luck, Zhukovsky early, Spring White were able to take root in this climate. The late type of potato in the Urals and Siberia is not planted.

Popular among the early

• The governor is an early ripening variety that is completely undemanding to soil and climate. Productivity - up to 700 kg per one hundred square meters. Resistant to most diseases, shelf life. Fruits are red with white pulp.

Governor - high yielding variety

• Lyubava - yield - up to 400 kg per hundred square meters, an unpretentious variety, resistant to cancer pathogens. It is affected by the golden nematode. Red, round-oval fruits weighing 110-210 grams.

Lyubava is unpretentious in cultivation

Mid-early in the Urals

Among the mid-early in the Urals, popular varieties are Korona, Lukyanovskiy, Effect, Aspiya, etc. These varieties have high yields (up to 450 kg) and good resistance to adverse weather conditions.

Universal varieties

Of the universal varieties in the Urals, the most common variety is Sante - medium early (80-90 days), with large oval yellow fruits, with a high starch content and a yield of 400 kg per hundred square meters.

High-yielding varieties

The leaders in yield are the following varieties:

1. Luck - up to 1500 kg per one hundred square meters.
2. Gala - about 600 kg per one hundred square meters.
3. Idaho - up to 550 kg per one hundred square meters.
4. Rosara - 350-400 kg per one hundred square meters.
5. Bellarosa - up to 350 kg per one hundred square meters.

Gardeners receive high yields of potatoes by providing plants with good care and fertile soil.

Growing seed potatoes

Over time, any sort of potato, including the best one, loses its quality, taste, accumulates various diseases, its yield decreases, possibly complete degeneration. Therefore, every 4 years, at least the seed must be renewed. You can buy it, or you can get it yourself from seeds by seedling.

Leaders among varieties for growing from seeds:

• Krasa is a mid-late variety with a yield of 400-450 kg per one hundred square meters, tolerating dry periods well. Cultivation is possible in any region of the country. Tubers are red, oval, with a lot of starch.
• Virgo is a mid-season population variety, productive (up to 400 kg per hundred square meters), adapting to any weather conditions. Suitable for any region. Delicious red oval fruits.
• Ilona is a medium-early variety-population, yield - up to 400 kg, recommended for market sales. Fruits are medium in size, oval or elongated-oval, light beige.
• Milena is an ultra-early variety, yield - up to 600 kg, resistant to many dangerous diseases. Fruits are round-oval, cream-colored, with excellent taste.

The most resilient

The most merciless enemies of potatoes are late blight, Colorado potato beetle and golden nematode. One by one, they manage to destroy up to half of the harvest, and even from their combined attack, the plants cannot be saved at all. So far, the only way for a gardener is to grow varieties resistant to them.

Where there is high humidity, there is late blight: in the regions of heavy rains, fogs and growing. Here you need to plant potatoes with good resistance to it: Arosa, Bellarosa, Borodyansky pink, Zhivitsa, Chervona Ruta, and others.

Late blight causes high humidity

Thick-skinned fruits are rarely damaged by pests. Plant varieties such as Crimson, Bellarosa, Vineta, Sante, Chervona Ruta to protect against wireworms or beetle larvae.

On soils with an alkaline reaction (chernozems, salt licks, sandstones), the likelihood of potato contamination with scab is increased. Liming, the introduction of ash or unripe manure in this case is unacceptable. Otherwise, the alkalinity of the soil will increase even more and cause more than just scab. You can add pine needles, sulfur or gypsum for autumn plowing, thereby acidifying the soil. Arosa, Bellarosa, Karatop, Agave, Vineta, Fantasy, Crimson, Teterev have relative resistance to scab. The most resistant to it is the famous Picasso.

If the plants in your area are unnaturally low, then the soil has been hit by a golden nematode. Opposed to it are varieties such as Arosa, Bellarosa, Laura, Agave, Finca, Vineta, Sante and others.

The most hardy

In central Russia, there are very few rich fertile soils. Here, there are those that are completely unsuitable for growing any kind of vegetation. Specially for such lands, varieties have been created that allow you to get a harvest from 50 to 100 kg per hundred square meters.

• Adretta is a universal variety of German breeding, drought-resistant, does not require additional feeding. It can grow well on clay and sandy soils. With regular and abundant watering, a maximum yield of 250 kg per one hundred square meters is possible. Differs in exquisite fruit taste.

Adretta will satisfy the taste of the most sophisticated gourmet

• Elizaveta is the most unpretentious variety; on loamy and sandy soils, it yields up to 250 kg per hundred square meters. Good drought tolerance. Susceptible to late blight and Colorado potato beetle.

Elizaveta is a classic of Russian selection

• Aspia is a mid-early variety that tolerates prolonged heat, cold snaps, moisture deficit and various potato diseases well. Productivity - 400 kg per one hundred square meters. The tubers are round, white. During heat treatment, the pulp does not darken and does not lose its unusual fruity flavor.

Aspia is a persistent variety with a fruity flavor

These varieties of potatoes can grow in unfavorable conditions for them, but if you take care of them, water them, feed them, you can significantly increase your yield.

On depleted soils, cultivate varieties such as Bellarosa, Titan, Pushkin, Karelia. The main thing is to provide them with appropriate care, otherwise their tubers may be deformed.

In arid regions, varieties such as Arosa, Bellarosa, Laura, Sprint, Agave, Minerva, Picasso, Slavyanka can be successfully grown.

Foreign breeding

A large number of imported potato varieties are currently cultivated in Russia. Mostly these are Dutch and German varieties. They grow in many areas and delight gardeners with an excellent harvest.

Dutch varieties

The varieties of Dutch selection, like no others, inspire confidence, because Holland has been exporting its varieties all over the world for a long time. The quality of this time-tested selection is trusted unconditionally. As a rule, Dutch potatoes stand out for their high yields, beautiful fruits and excellent taste, but they need to be renewed at least once every 3-4 years. Some varieties are capable of degeneration. This is the basis for the potato business in Holland. Let's consider the most popular varieties.

The most popular "Dutch"

Common varieties of cultivars

• Canteens... The most common varieties that have the best taste. Because of this feature, they are commonly used for cooking.
• Technical... These varieties contain an underestimated amount of protein, so they are intended for the manufacture of alcohol and starch.
• Fodder... By virtue of their name, these varieties are used to feed livestock. They are distinguished by the fact that the level of protein and starch is much higher than normal.
• Universal... These varieties have everything you need to target any of the above tasks.

In addition, potato varieties can vary according to the following criteria: early maturity. Unlike other vegetables, there will be more criteria that cover the duration of fruit ripening.

Varieties of varieties by ripening period

• Early. Fruits appear after 50-65 days.
• Medium early. Fruits appear after 65-85 days.
• Mid-season. Fruits appear after 85-95 days.

Seed potato varieties - choosing the right one

It is worth saying that potatoes have weaker protection against all kinds of pests and infections than other vegetables. If this is not taken into account, then the tubers will work solely to survive, and not focus on a good harvest.

The only exceptions can be those varieties that successfully resist many of their varieties. But not all resistant varieties are distinguished by the best taste and large-fruited. That is why the choice of varieties must be taken with full responsibility.

It should also be borne in mind that after 3-4 years the variety will degenerate, which means that it is necessary to find an appropriate replacement for it. Elite planting material can be an ideal option. It will be extremely difficult to grow it on your own, because this is a very long and capacious process that requires specific conditions.

When buying it, it will not be superfluous to ask the seller about the quality certificate. This is important due to the fact that very often sellers can offer ordinary potatoes instead of the desired elite planting material.

If you do not want the acquired planting material to become unusable too quickly, then it should be dug out before the lion's share of the crop begins to appear.

As for the characteristics of the varieties, here it is also worth being vigilant not only about the traditional factors (taste, yield and large-fruited), but also several others (early maturity and the place where it comes from). Compliance with the latter factor will help determine the compatibility of the climatic zone, which is extremely important when growing potatoes.

The best potato varieties for the Moscow region

Many summer residents who grow potatoes in the Moscow region managed to note that this activity is extremely risky. Due to non-standard climatic conditions and many other factors, when choosing varieties for planting, several important features should be noted for yourself.

First, the varieties must have good protection against pests and diseases. Secondly, you should choose only early, mid-early and mid-season varieties. If you go into experiments and take later varieties for planting, then they simply will not have time to ripen.

Additionally, you need to pay attention to whether they are intended for landing in the Moscow region. If the selected variety does not have this indicator, but it easily adapts to existing conditions, then this item can be skipped.

The best potato varieties for growing in Russia and their description

To choose a potato for your site, decide what you expect from it. This will greatly facilitate the search process and protect you from unnecessary, completely unnecessary information. When choosing, be guided by the following indicators:

• yield;
• preferences for a particular type of soil and climatic conditions;
• the rate of fruit formation;
• care requirements;
• resistance to various diseases and pests;
• endurance in unfavorable weather conditions for potatoes;
• taste and visual appeal of tubers.

There are many varieties of potatoes, of course, good and worthy of our attention. Let's consider the most popular ones.

Early, middle, late - which is better

Let's start with the fact that potatoes are subdivided into 4 types according to their ripening rate:

• early (60–80 days);
• medium early (80–90 days);
• mid-season (90-110 days);
• late ripening (110–120 days).

Early varieties form tubers faster and, accordingly, gardeners get harvest earlier. The disadvantage of this type of potato can be safely attributed to poor keeping quality: during storage, the fruits begin to deteriorate very quickly. Therefore, early potatoes are grown exclusively in small quantities, and once dug up, they are immediately cooked for food.

Medium-late types of potatoes have a longer growing season, but the yield is higher and the tubers are tastier. And they can be stored until next spring without losing their consumer properties. Therefore, the popularity of medium potatoes among gardeners is much higher.

Best Seed Potato

Sowing seed potatoes is your investment. How competently and responsibly you approach it, so rich and get a harvest. For one hundred square meters you will need about 20-30 kg of planting material. Large tubers sprouted and cut in half are acceptable for planting.

Karlena, Romance, Riviera, Vega are recognized as the best among seed. They have a high yield (350-500 kg), excellent taste and unpretentious cultivation.

Soil types and varieties

Speaking about the types of soil for potatoes, we can confidently say that the most preferable for growing it is fertile black soil. Any plants on it grow and bear fruit remarkably.

Sandy soils

Sandy soil has a lot of disadvantages that complicate the life of plants and increase the labor costs of gardeners. It quickly heats up and cools down, practically does not retain moisture (plants require more frequent watering), there are practically no microorganisms in it (it is necessary to add peat, humus or compost), water washes out all useful substances from the sand (dressing should be applied in mineral forms). Only a drought-resistant potato variety can grow in it.

Drought tolerant varieties

Drought-resistant varieties photo

Plants have adapted to difficult conditions: with wide foliage, they create a shade around the bush and do not allow moisture to evaporate from the soil. Some plants have even learned to fold their leaves to maximize moisture retention.

Clay soils

Clay soil is not the most favorable for growing potatoes. It is distinguished by high viscosity, density, and water resistance. In this regard, plants are completely unable to take advantage of the beneficial substances that it contains. To improve the composition of such soil, you can add sawdust, sand or ash to it. The only way to deal with the hard crust on its surface, which is formed after rains and watering, is by loosening.

Growing potatoes in such difficult conditions is necessary only in ridges or in high beds, adhering to a shallow planting. To increase the yield, add manure, compost or peat for autumn plowing, at a depth of at least 30 cm, at the rate of 6-8 kg per 1 sq. / M.

On clay soils, good results are consistently shown by Gatchinsky, Golubizna, Zarevo, Istrinsky, Lasunok, Lugovskoy, Luk'yanovsky, Nevsky, Rozara.

Climate dependence

Each region of the country has its own climatic features that have both beneficial and detrimental effects on plants.

In the Moscow region, the climate is not the best for growing potatoes. Here varieties that are resistant to the humidity for which this region is famous are suitable. It can be Vesna, Zhukovsky early, Timo Khankkiyan (popularly better known as simply Timo), Nevsky, Kondor, Romano or Lugovskoy. In general, in the Moscow region it is difficult to achieve the desired potato harvest, therefore it is best to plant zoned varieties on the site.

• Spring white - early ripening variety (75-80 days), zoned in the European part of the country and in Siberia. Productivity - 320-410 kg per one hundred square meters. Disease resistance is average. Due to the short growing season, it is suitable for cultivation in the Arctic. It is possible to get two harvests per season. Tubers are light beige, oval, weighing up to 180 grams.

Spring white does not require chemical treatment

• Timo Hankkiyan is a Finnish variety, unpretentious to the type of soil, with good tolerance to prolonged cold snaps, sudden jumps in air temperature, excessive humidity and drought. Differs in resistance to viruses and pests. Productivity - from 150 to 300 kg per one hundred square meters. Tubers are white, weighing 60–120 grams, tasty, multi-starch, do not darken during storage.

Timo has beautiful white fruits

It should be noted that reviews of Timo among gardeners are extremely ambiguous. Someone came to the garden, and someone assures that his indicators, including taste, are extremely overestimated by breeders.

Plant at least three varieties of potatoes in your area, preferably at different ripening times. This will significantly reduce the likelihood of being left without a crop. Appropriate care is key in cultivating potatoes that are not a weed and will not grow on their own.

The choice of Leningrad gardeners - early and middle varieties. Their first harvest takes place in July.

• Hope is an early variety, unsightly for the Colorado potato beetle. Unpretentious in cultivation. Suitable for the central zone of Russia and the Urals. The maximum yield threshold is 416 kg per one hundred square meters. Delicious yellow fruits weighing 90-160 grams.

• Latona is a Dutch unpretentious variety that perfectly tolerates both drought and heavy rains.Fruits are yellow, oval-round, weighing 90-140 grams, excellent taste, with a high starch content.

Latona tolerates both high humidity and drought well

Of the middle-late varieties, Eliseevsky, Lena, Volosovsky, Krinitsa, Rosinka grow well here, which are not at all afraid of late blight and the Colorado potato beetle.

The Central Black Earth Region has very good climatic conditions for growing any potato.

The most common varieties are:

• early - Vineta, Zhukovsky early, Krepysh, Latona, Neptune, Rosara, Bullfinch, Luck;
• mid-early - Arhidea, Zekura, Condor, Crown, Lakomka, Nevsky, Odysseus, Ramos, Charodey;
• mid-season - Aspia, Zhivitsa, Lugovskoy, Olympus, Resurs, Sokolsky;
• late - Belorussky 3, Golubizna, Lasunak, Lorkh, Naroch, Picasso, Pobeda, Temp.

Siberia and the Urals are areas of risky farming. Not every potato variety can adapt to their climatic characteristics. Short summers, frequent cold snaps, abrupt change of intense heat with rains and cold nights. Alena, Priekulskiy, Luck, Zhukovsky early, Spring White were able to take root in this climate. The late type of potato in the Urals and Siberia is not planted.

Popular among the early

• The governor is an early ripening variety that is completely undemanding to soil and climate. Productivity - up to 700 kg per one hundred square meters. Resistant to most diseases, shelf life. Fruits are red with white pulp.

Governor - high yielding variety

• Lyubava - yield - up to 400 kg per hundred square meters, an unpretentious variety, resistant to cancer pathogens. It is affected by the golden nematode. Red, round-oval fruits weighing 110-210 grams.

Lyubava is unpretentious in cultivation

Mid-early in the Urals

Among the mid-early in the Urals, popular varieties are Korona, Lukyanovskiy, Effect, Aspiya, etc. These varieties have high yields (up to 450 kg) and good resistance to adverse weather conditions.

Universal varieties

1. Luck - up to 1500 kg per one hundred square meters.
2. Gala - about 600 kg per one hundred square meters.
3. Idaho - up to 550 kg per one hundred square meters.
4. Rosara - 350-400 kg per one hundred square meters.
5. Bellarosa - up to 350 kg per one hundred square meters.

Gardeners receive high yields of potatoes by providing plants with good care and fertile soil.

Growing seed potatoes

Over time, any sort of potato, including the best one, loses its quality, taste, accumulates various diseases, its yield decreases, possibly complete degeneration. Therefore, every 4 years, at least the seed must be renewed. You can buy it, or you can get it yourself from seeds by seedling.

Leaders among varieties for growing from seeds:

• Krasa is a mid-late variety with a yield of 400-450 kg per one hundred square meters, tolerating dry periods well. Cultivation is possible in any region of the country. Tubers are red, oval, with a lot of starch.

• Milena is an ultra-early variety, yield - up to 600 kg, resistant to many dangerous diseases. Fruits are round-oval, cream-colored, with excellent taste.

The most resilient

The most merciless enemies of potatoes are late blight, Colorado potato beetle and golden nematode. One by one, they manage to destroy up to half of the harvest, and even from their combined attack, the plants cannot be saved at all. So far, the only way for a gardener is to grow varieties resistant to them.

Where there is high humidity, there is late blight: in the regions of heavy rains, fogs and growing. Here you need to plant potatoes with good resistance to it: Arosa, Bellarosa, Borodyansky pink, Zhivitsa, Chervona Ruta, and others.

Late blight causes high humidity

Thick-skinned fruits are rarely damaged by pests. Plant varieties such as Crimson, Bellarosa, Vineta, Sante, Chervona Ruta to protect against wireworms or beetle larvae.

On soils with an alkaline reaction (chernozems, salt licks, sandstones), the likelihood of scab infection of potatoes is increased. Liming, the introduction of ash or unripe manure in this case is unacceptable. Otherwise, the alkalinity of the soil will increase even more and cause more than just scab. You can add pine needles, sulfur or gypsum for autumn plowing, thereby acidifying the soil. Arosa, Bellarosa, Karatop, Agave, Vineta, Fantasy, Crimson, Teterev have relative resistance to scab. The most resistant to it is the famous Picasso.

If the plants in your area are unnaturally low, then the soil has been hit by a golden nematode. Opposed to it are varieties such as Arosa, Bellarosa, Laura, Agave, Finca, Vineta, Sante and others.

The most hardy

In central Russia, there are very few rich fertile soils. Here there are also found completely unsuitable for growing any kind of vegetation. Specially for such lands, varieties have been created that allow you to get a harvest from 50 to 100 kg per hundred square meters.

• Adretta is a universal variety of German breeding, drought-resistant, does not require additional feeding. It can grow well on clay and sandy soils. With regular and abundant watering, a maximum yield of 250 kg per one hundred square meters is possible. Differs in exquisite fruit taste.

• Elizaveta is the most unpretentious variety; on loamy and sandy soils, it yields up to 250 kg per hundred square meters. Good drought tolerance. Susceptible to late blight and Colorado potato beetle.

Elizaveta is a classic of Russian selection

• Aspia is a mid-early variety that tolerates prolonged heat, cold snaps, moisture deficit and various potato diseases well. Productivity - 400 kg per one hundred square meters. The tubers are round, white. During heat treatment, the pulp does not darken and does not lose its unusual fruity flavor.

Aspia is a persistent variety with a fruity flavor

These potato varieties can grow in unfavorable conditions for them, but if you take care of them, water them, feed them, you can significantly increase your yield.

On depleted soils, cultivate varieties such as Bellarosa, Titan, Pushkin, Karelia. The main thing is to provide them with appropriate care, otherwise their tubers may be deformed.

In arid regions, varieties such as Arosa, Bellarosa, Laura, Sprint, Agave, Minerva, Picasso, Slavyanka can be successfully grown.

Foreign breeding

A large number of imported potato varieties are currently cultivated in Russia. For the most part, these are Dutch and German varieties. They grow in many areas and delight gardeners with an excellent harvest.

Dutch varieties

Dutch varieties, like no others, inspire confidence, because Holland has long been exporting its varieties all over the world. The quality of this time-tested selection is trusted unconditionally. As a rule, Dutch potatoes stand out for their high yields, beautiful fruits and excellent taste, but they need to be renewed at least once every 3-4 years. Some varieties are capable of degeneration. This is the basis for the potato business in Holland. Let's consider the most popular varieties.

Characteristics of potato varieties

Faced for the first time with a huge variety of potato varieties, it is very difficult to understand which ones are intended for human consumption and which ones are optimal as food for farm animals. To make it easier for you, we provide a simplified diagram of the characteristics of varieties.

Common varieties of cultivars

• Canteens... The most common varieties that have the best taste. Because of this feature, they are commonly used for cooking.
• Technical... These varieties contain an underestimated amount of protein, so they are intended for the manufacture of alcohol and starch.
• Fodder... By virtue of their name, these varieties are used to feed livestock. They are distinguished by the fact that the level of protein and starch is much higher than normal.
• Universal... These varieties have everything you need to target any of the above tasks.

In addition, potato varieties can vary according to the following criteria: early maturity. Unlike other vegetables, there will be more criteria that cover the duration of fruit ripening.

Varieties of varieties by ripening period

• Early. Fruits appear after 50-65 days.
• Medium early. Fruits appear after 65-85 days.
• Mid-season. Fruits appear after 85-95 days.
• Medium late. Fruits appear after 95-110 days.
• Late. Fruits appear after 95 days or more.

Seed potato varieties - choosing the right one

It is worth saying that potatoes have weaker protection against all kinds of pests and infections than other vegetables. If this is not taken into account, the tubers will work solely to survive, and not focus on a good harvest.

The only exceptions can be those varieties that successfully resist many of their varieties. But not all resistant varieties are distinguished by the best taste and large-fruited. That is why the choice of varieties must be taken with full responsibility.

It should also be borne in mind that after 3-4 years the variety will degenerate, which means that it is necessary to find an appropriate replacement for it. Elite planting material can be an ideal option. It will be extremely difficult to grow it on your own, because this is a very long and capacious process that requires specific conditions.

When buying it, it will not be superfluous to ask the seller about the quality certificate. This is important due to the fact that very often sellers can offer ordinary potatoes instead of the desired elite planting material.

If you do not want the acquired planting material to become unusable too quickly, then it should be dug out before the lion's share of the crop begins to appear.

As for the characteristics of the varieties, here it is also worth being vigilant not only about traditional factors (taste, yield and large-fruited), but also several others (early maturity and the place where it comes from). Compliance with the latter factor will help determine the compatibility of the climatic zone, which is extremely important when growing potatoes.

The best potato varieties for the Moscow region

Many summer residents who grow potatoes in the Moscow region managed to note that this activity is extremely risky. Due to non-standard climatic conditions and many other factors, when choosing varieties for planting, several important features should be noted for yourself.

First, the varieties must have good protection against pests and diseases. Secondly, you should choose only early, mid-early and mid-season varieties. If you go into experiments and take later varieties for planting, then they simply will not have time to ripen.

Additionally, you need to pay attention to whether they are intended for landing in the Moscow region. If the selected variety does not have this indicator, but it easily adapts to existing conditions, then this item can be skipped.

Classifications of early varieties

All crop varieties can be divided into two main types: domestic and imported... It may happen that imported potatoes yield a less rich harvest than domestic ones.

Early potatoes

The culture can also be classified according to the ripening period. Ripening is the length of time from the first germination to the moment of harvest.

Only the early ones have several divisions:

• ultra early 45-55 days;
• early maturing 50-60 days;
• mid-early 60-85 days.

Early and ultra-early potatoes grow well in the southern regions.

It grows well in the southern area early and ultra-early potatoes that ripen before the heat begins.

Also, a vegetable can be classified according to the purposes of cultivation:

• dining room - used for cooking;
• technical - starch and alcohol are produced from it;
• fodder - used for feeding livestock;
• universal - a cross between technical and stern.

Any early variety can be classified by purpose. Early potatoes are good for summer consumption.
