How to grow Tuleevsky potatoes correctly?

Potatoes are recognized as the most popular vegetable in our country. No wonder it is called "the second bread". Breeders from different countries have developed a huge number of potato varieties. Gardeners face a difficult choice. Which varieties to give preference to? It is important not to miscalculate with the yield, unpretentiousness, taste of the culture.

Recently, Tuleyevsky potatoes are in unprecedented demand among farmers. Description of the variety, reviews, photos will be presented below. This is one of the varieties that today confidently replaces other popular varieties of potatoes. There are many reasons for this. They will be discussed below.

general description

Considering the description, reviews of the Tuleyevsky potato variety (photo is presented below), it should be said that it appeared in the process of the long and painstaking work of the breeders of the Kemerovo Research Institute. The vegetable was the result of crossing several Russian and Canadian varieties, in particular, Chernsky and Tolokan. The work on breeding the variety lasted almost ten years.

The potato is named after the governor A. Tuleyev (Kemerovo region), so sometimes it is called “governor's”, especially in his homeland. Tuleevsky potatoes were originally recommended for cultivation in the West Siberian region, but they are also successfully cultivated in the Middle Belt, in the Urals, the Far East and in the southern regions. According to statistics, Tuleyevsky is a popular potato variety from the top ten in Russia.It is successfully grown both on small household plots and on large farms.

Potato harvest

One of the main advantages of the popular Tuleyevsky potato variety is its high yield. The average indicators for growing it on an industrial scale are 40 t / ha. The highest yield is 50 t / ha.

With good care, even higher rates are possible. For example, in Altai, a case was documented when 320 kg of potatoes were harvested from 3 kg of tubers purchased for planting at the end of summer. On average, one bush yields up to 7.5 kg (about 19-22 tubers).

Such high rates make it possible to grow potatoes both on an industrial scale and in private agriculture. A bountiful harvest can be obtained with the right approach to crop cultivation.

External characteristics

Tuleevsky potatoes (description of the variety, reviews, photos are presented below) refers to the mid-early type of crops. The first harvest can be done 52-58 days after the emergence of the shoots. The main harvesting takes place 102-109 days after planting, when the tops finally wither.

The bushes of this potato are of medium height. Each plant has at least six side shoots. The stems are straight, the crown is slightly drooping. Leaves are dark green in color, medium in size, slightly corrugated at the edges. The flowers are bright, lilac, the core is yellow, and the corolla is snow-white.

The tubers have an oval shape, yellow-beige color, slightly rough to the touch, covered with a "mesh". The eyes are superficial, there are few of them. The pulp is dense, resembles butter in color, but during heat treatment it becomes brighter and turns yellow. Medium to large tubers. They weigh on average 205-410 g, but sometimes there are record holders weighing 610 g.

Description of taste

Considering the description of the Tuleyevsky potato variety, its taste should be noted. They are referred to as the benefits of a vegetable. Tubers of this potato do not lose their shape during heat treatment, retain their aroma and acquire a slightly sweetish taste. They are suitable for preparing almost any dish: side dishes, soups, pancakes, casseroles.

According to reviews, this mashed potato is especially good. The taste characteristics of the variety are assessed by professional tasters at 3.59 points on a five-point scale. And many consumers claim that the variety can be given a solid five. These potatoes are ranked on a par with such recognized leaders as Adretta and Rocco.

Pest and disease resistance

Tuleevsky potatoes, the characteristics of which should be learned before growing, have a strong immunity to the main diseases inherent in this culture.

Reviews of the lesions of the golden potato cyst nematode are contradictory. In some sources, it is argued that the variety is resistant to this problem, in others, that it does not have immunity to it. Therefore, it is advised for prophylaxis to treat plants with drugs of the appropriate type according to the manufacturer's instructions.

How to plant correctly

The description of the Tuleyevsky potato variety and the peculiarities of growing a crop must be studied before purchasing planting material. Seeds must be purchased in advance. Before planting, the tubers need to be warmed up. To do this, a month before the expected date of disembarkation, they are brought into a warm room (temperature + 16 + 19 ° C) and scattered on a dry surface.

The room should be well lit, but direct sunlight should not be allowed on the tubers. The seed should take on a light greenish tint.

The soil for planting should be dug up in the fall. In the spring it is deeply loosened, organic fertilizers are applied: humus or rotted compost, sifted wood ash. With high acidity of the soil, dolomite flour, crushed chalk or powdered eggshells should be added to it.

The most common landing method is groove landing.The distance between them should be at least 72 cm. The depth of the trench should not exceed 17 cm. It is recommended to fill the bottom with a thin layer of rotten grass or dry twigs. Three days before planting, heated tubers, if they are very large, are cut in half and dipped in wood ash with a cut.

One of the advantages of the variety is its compactness. It can be planted between bushes and trees, which can significantly save space in the garden.

Care rules

Also, before planting the variety, it is necessary to consider not only the description of the Tuleyevsky potato, the care must also be carefully studied. The planted tubers do not need watering. It is not worth irrigating the soil even in drought. Also, experts do not recommend the use of chemical fertilizers. It is useful to use humus for feeding. If the land is not too depleted, then you can do without fertilizers altogether. This fact is another reason for choosing this variety.

It is necessary to spud potatoes three times during the growing season. For the first time, the procedure is performed as soon as shoots appear. The earth is carefully loosened so as not to damage the fragile shoots.

The second time the plants spud when the bushes begin to bloom. The third time, the procedure is carried out when the stems begin to fail. Ease of care is one of the advantages of the culture of the presented variety.

Storage

So, you learned how to properly grow Tuleyevsky potatoes, put your knowledge into practice and got a good harvest. Now it is important to transport and store it correctly. Due to its high keeping quality and resistance to mechanical damage, there will be no problems with Tuleevsky potatoes.

Seed material should be stored separately from tubers of this and other varieties for food or sale to avoid spoilage. The storage temperature should not exceed + 3 ° C. Before laying, the room is ventilated and treated with lime.

Subject to all the requirements for the storage process, potatoes do not rot, do not lose their taste characteristics for a long time. It can be easily stored in a prepared storage until the warm season. At the same time, the presentation of the tubers practically does not change. It can be sold until spring. This is also one of the reasons why the presented variety is gaining high popularity among private and industrial agricultural enterprises today.

Reviews of gardeners

Thanks to all of the above advantages, the Tuleyevsky potato variety received a very high rating from gardeners, a lot of enthusiastic reviews and is one of the most popular among consumers. It is appreciated for its unpretentiousness, ease of care and storage, high yield. Also, gardeners note resistance to pests and diseases and excellent taste.

The presented culture is grown not only in private gardens, but also in the fields. This variety is versatile and extremely unpretentious. Experts note its high nutritional value, resistance to decay, disease and infection. This is one of the best varieties that can be found in the gardens of the country today.

Having considered the description of the Tuleyevsky potato variety, reviews, photos of the culture, we can call it outstanding, having a lot of advantages. It is for this reason that today it is grown everywhere. It is gaining popularity, displacing other popular potato varieties.

Advantages of the variety

Drought tolerant... Tuleyevskaya potatoes practically do not need watering. Does not require the introduction of phosphorus and ammonia fertilizers into the soil.With a shortage of boron in the soil, voids form in the tuber with which long-term storage is impossible.

Read detailed information on how to feed potatoes, when and how to fertilize, and how to do it when planting.

Agricultural technology varieties

The agricultural technology of the Tuleev variety is standard. A month before planting, the planting material is laid out in a layer of 2-3 tubers for vernalization, avoiding direct sunlight. To prevent damage to bushes and tubers by wireworm, Colorado potato beetle, potato moth, bear, agronomists advise to pickle sprouted planting material with Prestige and Tabu preparations.

To activate the germination of eyes, increase immunity, form a strong bush, immediately before planting, treat with any stimulant such as "Epin-Extra", "Emistim".

The most optimal method is considered to be planting in the furrows. Three days before planting, Tuleevsky potato seeds, large tubers, are cut into 2-3 pieces weighing about 50 g, leaving 2-3 eyes on each. Spread out in the sun, leave until the peel acquires a greenish tint. At a distance of 65-70 cm from each other, holes are prepared with a depth of 10-15 cm.

The soil is dug up twice - in autumn and spring. The roots and stems of weeds are carefully removed. Planting begins only after the earth is evenly warmed up to t + 8-10 ° С. The variety does not require watering, moreover, it is contraindicated for him. In severe drought, the aisles are loosened. Mulching can be used to control weeds.

Before planting, slices with sprouts,

seed potatoes

Sprinkle Tuleevsky with wood ash. At the bottom of the holes, put some small twigs, rotten grass, compost, humus. This will protect the seedlings from frost.

Hilling... Carry out at least three times during the growing season. After germination, the seedlings fall asleep completely, spud immediately after the first flowers appear, spud for the last time when "laying" the tops on the aisles.

In unfavorable weather, before the last hilling, an aqueous solution of chicken droppings or manure is introduced into the aisles to support the plants. Harvesting begin when the tops turn yellow and wither.

There are several ways to grow potatoes. Read on our website everything about Dutch technologies, about getting a crop without weeding and hilling, about growing early varieties, methods under straw, in barrels, in boxes, in bags.

Storage... The crop for direct consumption or for sale is stored separately from the seed. When storing seed potatoes do not allow the proximity of tubers of other varieties... The storage facility maintains t + 3 ° С, humidity 90-95%.

If it is impossible to maintain a stable microclimate in the storage area, the boxes are covered with straw or covering material. Before laying, the seed tubers are washed, dried well in the light until they turn green. Tuleyevsky potato variety is recognized as one of the best domestic varieties. Undemanding to the composition of the soil, adaptation to arid, extreme climate make it possible to grow the governor's variety in almost all regions of Russia, both in private farmsteads and within the framework of business.

No vegetable in Russia is even close to as popular as potatoes. He has long and firmly entered the diet, earning the respectful nickname "second bread". It is very difficult to imagine a garden plot that did not have at least a small patch of potatoes. Selection does not stand still, so new varieties are constantly appearing. The most difficult thing for a gardener is to decide which ones he will grow this year. Unpretentiousness, versatility of purpose, yield and excellent taste are the main "trump cards" of the Tuleevsky variety.It was launched relatively recently, but has already gained popularity.

Tuleevsky potatoes: description of the variety and characteristics with a photo

Tuleevsky potatoes are the result of painstaking work of Siberian breeders at the Kemerovo Research Institute of Agriculture. Several Russian and Canadian varieties "participated" in hybridization, in particular, Chernsky and Tolokan. Work on its breeding lasted almost ten years. It got its name in honor of the governor of the Kemerovo region, Aman Tuleyev, who has been holding this post for two decades, therefore it is sometimes called "governor", especially in his homeland. Tuleyevsky got into the State Register in 2006. It is recommended for them for cultivation in the West Siberian region.

Tuleevsky potatoes - a remarkable achievement of Siberian breeders

The variety was developed specifically for cultivation in the harsh Siberian conditions, but it was quickly appreciated by gardeners of the Urals, the Far East, as well as those who live in the European part of Russia. It appeared on the open market about ten years ago, and since then has consistently been included in the top ten most popular varieties. Tuleyevsky is widely cultivated both in small household plots and in farms that grow it on an industrial scale.

High yield allows you to grow Tuleevsky not only on personal backyard plots, but also on an industrial scale.

The variety belongs to the medium early category. Several bushes can be dug in 50-60 days after the first shoots appear, harvesting is started when the tops finally wither, 100-110 days after planting.

The bushes of this potato variety are low, only 30–35 cm. Each plant has at least six side shoots. Stems are straight or slightly drooping. There are few leaves, but they are quite large, with slightly corrugated edges. The flowers are bright, lilac, at the base of the petals are painted in a yellow tint. The corolla is large, snow-white. There are relatively few fruits.

The bushes of the Tuleyevsky potatoes are compact, this allows you to save space in the garden

Tubers are aligned, in the form of an elongated oval. The skin is yellow-beige, covered with a "mesh" rough to the touch. "Eyes" are superficial, there are very few of them. The pulp is dense, a shade of butter. When heat treated, it becomes brighter, turns yellow.

Tuleyevsky is valued for its attractive appearance and excellent taste.

The average weight of one potato varies from 150 g to 270 g. Small ones come across very rarely. But there are record-breaking tubers gaining weight of 500-600 g. Of course, this is possible only with proper care and favorable weather conditions. On average, 20-25 tubers with a total weight of 6-7 kg are obtained from one bush.

The average yield of Tuleyevsky when grown on an industrial scale is about 40 tons per hectare, the maximum is 50 tons per hectare. These are data from tests conducted by breeders. But even higher rates are possible. A case was documented when 320 kg of potatoes ripened at the end of summer from 3 kg of tubers bought for planting in Altai.

The merits and demerits of culture

The popularity of Tuleyevsky is easily explained by its merits:

• "Plastic". The variety successfully adapts to a wide variety of climatic and weather conditions. It is not very sensitive to drought, heavy rainfall, extreme heat, or vice versa, too cold weather for summer. Tuleyevsky is especially appreciated for its drought resistance - even in hot summers it can do almost without watering.
• The presence of genetically inherent immunity to many diseases typical of culture. Tuleyevsky is not affected by Alternaria, late blight, scab, potato cancer, protected from all types of rot.
• The compactness of the plant.For Tuleyevsky, you can not even set aside a separate bed, but plant it between bushes or trees. This allows you to significantly save space on the garden plot, which is always in short supply. Especially those who are the happy owner of the notorious "six acres".
• Consistently high yield. This is due to the morphology of the bush. Each of them has many side shoots on which tubers are formed.
• The compactness of the "nest" of tubers and their large size. This minimizes mechanical damage during harvesting. Large potatoes keep better.
• No need to apply nitrogen-containing and phosphorus fertilizers to the soil. This will especially appeal to those who do not like to "poison" plants with chemicals.
• The presence of a dense peel and firm pulp. Tuleyevsky is resistant to mechanical damage, well stored, and tolerates transportation well. Practice shows that no more than 10-15% of tubers are spoiled during the winter.
• Versatility of purpose and excellent taste. The starch content in the pulp is low - 13.5-17%. Because of this, the tubers do not lose their shape during heat treatment, retain a pronounced aroma and acquire a light sweetish aftertaste. In principle, Tuleyevsky is suitable for preparing any side dishes, soups and main courses, but especially mashed potatoes from it deserve a lot of rave reviews. Professional tasters rate the taste of this potato at 3.59 points out of five.

Puree made from Tuleevsky potatoes deservedly receives only rave reviews, but in principle, it is suitable for any dish

Often the standard of taste is considered to be foreign-bred potatoes, for example, the well-known Adretta. Nevertheless, at the "blind" tasting of six newest and old well-deserved varieties, which was held in 2011 in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, in which 40 people took part, Tuleyevsky took the first place. That same Adretta became the penultimate one, and the Rocco variety closed the sixth, which is considered one of the best in taste at home (in the Netherlands) and in Europe.

He also has some disadvantages:

• Weak resistance to such a dangerous pest as the golden potato nematode.
• A small number of fruits. This creates certain difficulties for those who renew planting material, independently growing mini-tubers from seeds. In potatoes, they do not differ in germination, so they need to be stocked up in excess.
• Reaction to Boron Deficiency in Soil. Because of this, voids are formed in the tubers (especially in the largest ones). It is impossible to store such potatoes for a long time.

One of the few disadvantages of the variety is its weak resistance to potato nematode

What to look for when growing

Tuleyevsky is not least appreciated by gardeners for its unpretentiousness and general "non-capriciousness". The latter applies to weather conditions, and the quality of the soil, and maintenance. Nevertheless, you still have to pay a minimum of attention to planting if you want to harvest a bountiful harvest at the end of summer.

Despite not too favorable weather, seedlings of Tuleevsky potatoes appear together and quickly enough

Preparation of tubers for planting begins a month before the intended planting in the ground. This should not be done too early - the soil at a depth of 8–10 cm should warm up to no less than 8–10 ° C. A sure sign is the beginning of flowering of dandelions and lilacs. The potatoes are removed from the cellar and laid out in one or two layers on the floor of the room, where the temperature is maintained at 15-18 ° C. They must not be exposed to direct sunlight. The potatoes should acquire a light greenish tint - this will make the skin more durable and protect it from many pests.

Greening tubers makes potatoes more resistant to infection by pathogenic fungi, viruses, bacteria, harmful insects

Since the Tuleyevsky variety does not have immunity against the nematode, special attention must be paid to the fight against it. For prophylaxis during gardening, the tubers are sprayed several times with an interval of at least five days with a solution of Tabu and Prestige preparations prepared according to the instructions. To make the sprouts more powerful and numerous, use Epin-Extra, Emistim, potassium humate.

Pre-planting treatment with Prestige helps to increase the immunity of tubers

The garden for Tuleyevsky is prepared in the same way as for any other variety of potatoes. The soil is carefully dug up in the fall and deeply loosened in the spring, simultaneously removing stones and rhizomes of weeds. Humus or rotted compost (10–12 l / m²), as well as sifted wood ash (about a liter per 1 m²) are used as fertilizers. If the soil is acidic (which the potatoes, in principle, cannot tolerate), add dolomite flour, crushed chalk, powdered eggshells (200-400 g / m²).

Dolomite flour is an effective neutralizer of excessive soil acidity

When planting, 60–65 cm is left between the holes, 50–60 cm between the rows of plantings. The depth of the hole is 10-15 cm, it depends on the quality of the soil. In heavy soils, potatoes are planted closer to the surface. A handful of onion husks are placed in each hole, tubers, especially cut ones, are powdered with wood ash. This is another preventive measure against nematodes. It is useful to add a little rotten grass, small twigs - such a "bedding" will warm the tubers in case of frost.

The bushes of the Tuleyevsky potatoes are quite compact, however, you need to leave enough space between them

The bushes at Tuleyevsky are not high, but they need to be hilled at least three times per season. The first is as soon as shoots appear (they need to be completely covered). This will save young plants from recurrent spring frosts, which are very likely in Siberia. By the way, even in adverse weather conditions, seedlings appear quickly and amicably. The second is at the same time as the beginning of flowering. The last time Tuleyevsky is spud is when the stems begin to drop, "fitting" into the aisles. If the weather in summer is not very good, before that, an infusion of fresh cow dung, bird droppings or nettle leaves, dandelion, diluted with water in a proportion of 1: 8, 1:20, 1: 6, respectively, is poured into the furrows. This is a good "support" for plants.

Correct hilling stimulates tuberization

A useful procedure for this variety is to regularly loosen the row spacings. Ideally, this should be done every time it rains.

Tuleyevsky does not need watering. On the contrary, some gardeners believe that this procedure is even harmful for him. Because of this, the tubers become more "watery", and the taste and aroma of potatoes are less pronounced. It can also provoke rotting tubers. Only if there has been no rain for more than a month, and the heat persists, you can slightly moisten the aisles.

Tuleyevsky does not need watering, but loosening row spacings is a very useful procedure

From top dressing Tuleevsky prefers natural organic matter - rotted manure, humus, compost, wood ash. But fertilizers are applied only in case of severe depletion of the soil. This usually happens if potatoes are grown in one place for more than two to three years. Everything you need is brought in simultaneously with the autumn digging of the garden.

Tuleevsky does not like chemical fertilizers, but reacts very well to natural organic matter

This variety is susceptible to boron deficiency in soil. Obvious signs are the dropping of flowers, drying of the apical buds, "squat" and thickening of plant stems (they become more like rosettes), light green stripes along the veins on the leaves. To avoid the appearance of voids in the tubers, the plants are sprayed with a solution of boric acid (2 g per 10 l of water). Consumption rate - 1l / m². The best time for the procedure is a cloudy, windless morning or evening. It will need to be repeated several times during the season, since the boron does not have the ability to "pass" from old leaves to new ones.

Boron deficiency in the soil immediately manifests itself in the appearance of potato bushes

They start harvesting only after the tops turn yellow and wither. Tubers intended for planting next year are immediately set aside separately, washed, dried and warmed up in the sun for 7-10 days. It is interesting that the planting material does not tolerate the neighborhood not only with tubers of other varieties, but also with Tuleyevsky itself, intended for food or sale. This rule does not apply to the latter - it is safely stored next to any other potatoes. Optimal storage conditions are temperature around 3 ° C and high humidity (85–90%). The room should be dark and well ventilated.

Consistently high yield of Tuleyevsky potatoes is one of its main advantages

Bushes of medium height are quite compact in size. The tubers are characterized by an almost perfect oval shape and are colored in a yellowish-beige color., the flowers, in turn, are white.

Advantages

• The variety gained its popularity thanks to truly high yield, if you carefully look after the plants, then from one hundred square meters it is possible to collect five hundred kilograms of culture, and this is regardless of geographical location.

Tuleevsky potatoes are a very productive variety.

• Resistant to most diseasesbut it is worth pointing out that it is susceptible to golden potato nematode.
• Governor's grade keeps well and has almost no spoiled tubers, both during cleaning and long-term storage. Advantages include the size of the tubers. They are quite large, according to the proposed data of gardeners, it turned out that the weight of one potato is about half a kilogram
• Resistant to insects and various parasitesto which other varieties are vulnerable. The fruits, in turn, are unpretentious in storage and are resistant to rotting.
• Same Tuleyevsky is notable for its taste... This is noted by everyone who has ever tried it.
• By early maturity Tuleyevsky is on a par with other varieties.
• Drought-resistant.

Tuleevsky potatoes are a table variety. The ripening period of the culture is mid-early.

Has a high yield, and therefore fell in love with gardeners. Tuleyevsky is well stored and resistant to many diseases and parasites.

Pre-boarding the material is laid out in a layer of 2-3 tubers for vernalization... Avoid direct sunlight.

To prevent damage to bushes and tubers, experts recommend spraying the plant with Prestige-type agents.

The most versatile way, according to agronomists, is to plant in furrows.

To plant potatoes, you need to prepare holes, the distance between which should be 65-70 cm, optimal depth - 15 cm.

Planting scheme for potatoes Tuleyevsky

In autumn and spring, the soil is dug up. Thoroughly weed, ridding the soil of weed stems and roots. When the earth will heat up to + 8-10 degrees Celsius, proceed to planting.

In order to stimulate the development of the plant, the formation of a strong bush, the seed should be treated with absolutely any stimulant.

Procedure:

• Three days before landing the tubers are cut into two to three parts, each weighing under fifty grams, two or three eyes should be left on the parts.

A few days before planting, the seed tubers of Tuleyevsky potatoes should be cut and allowed to warm up in this state.

• Then the tubers are laid out in the sun until the peel turns green... After this procedure, the potatoes are planted in pre-prepared holes.
• After the earth will warm up to plus eight - ten degreesin Celsius, planting material is planted.

Tuleyevsky potatoes do not require watering, they are even contraindicated. If a drought occurs, the aisles are loosened.

Hilling

It is necessary to huddle the bushes more than 3 times while the growing season is in progress. After germination, the seedlings need to fall asleep, when the first flowers appear, the plants spud... When "laying" the tops, the potatoes are huddled again.

Tuleevsky potatoes must be spud at least three times

In unfavorable weather, before the last hilling, an aqueous solution of chicken manure or manure is introduced into the aisles to support the plants.

Tuleyevsky does not require feeding; in the case when the soil is too depleted, humus can be used.

Harvesting

When the tops turn yellow and wither, the potatoes can be harvested.

Potatoes should be stored separately from seed.

Neighborhood with potatoes of other varieties is unacceptable... The temperature in the storage area should be plus three degrees Celsius and humidity close to ninety-five percent.

The Tuleyevsky variety is stored separately from other planting varieties.

If there is no opportunity to maintain the temperature and humidity, the tubers are placed in boxes and covered with straw or other covering material.

So potatoes Tuleyevsky has many advantages, including: high yield, resistance to most diseases and parasites, the variety is adapted to the Russian climate, unpretentious, able to survive even in adverse conditions, but still requires proper care, like any other varieties. Tuleyevsky is the most popular potato variety among all the most common. Gardeners and breeders give preference to Tuleevsky.

Tuleevsky potatoes - a universal table variety

The potato variety "Tuleyevsky" was bred by breeders of the Kemerovo Research Institute of Agriculture and named after the regional governor, therefore it is sometimes called the governor's; it was included in the state register in 2006.

This medium-early ripening variety is distinguished by its enviable resistance to unfavorable climatic conditions and the most common diseases.

It is bypassed not only by most pests, but even diseases such as potato cancer, scab, rot, alternaria, late blight. But there is a susceptibility to the golden nematode.

The bush grows compact, 30 - 40 cm high with dark green foliage. Tubers are formed oval, smooth, with a rough yellow skin, creamy yellow flesh.

Rare small yellow eyes are visible on the surface.

Up to 7 kg of potatoes are harvested from one bush, tubers are almost the same in size, small are rare, the average weight is 250 - 350 g, but they can grow up to 500 g.

From the video you will learn about the features of this variety.

Economic signs

Tuleevsky potatoes ripen in 2 - 3 months, it is believed that marketable maturity occurs 60 days after germination, but the tops wither later, closer to the 90th day. Its yield is high, up to 500 kg can be harvested from one hundred square meters, and one bush gives an average of 20 tubers of approximately the same size.

The tubers are dense, resilient, have good keeping quality and are transported without loss. medium starch - at the level of 16%, potatoes are equally good when fried, boiled, baked or stewed, they keep their shape well, at the same time, they are soft and tender, exudes a rich potato aroma during cooking.

The tubers are shallow, harvesting is a pleasure, the tubers are almost the same in size, there are very few small ones. The aerial part of the plant is also not too high, not spreading, this allows, with a shortage of space, planting potatoes between bushes or garden trees, it grows well between currant or gooseberry bushes.

Advantages of the variety

The advantages of this variety include amazing unpretentiousness - potatoes grow well on any soil, they do not need to be fertilized or even watered. Manufacturers specifically stipulate that it is not necessary to apply chemical fertilizers, if it is really bad infertile soil, then you can add humus or pour a solution of chicken manure infusion.

Tuleevsky potatoes are undemanding to weather and climatic conditions, they can survive significant drops in temperature, prolonged drought or prolonged rains.

The variety is very productive, with minimal agricultural technology, you can get a lot of tubers that are perfectly stored and transported. They are suitable for preparing any kind of food, they have excellent taste.

Agricultural technology varieties

Preparation of your seed material begins immediately after harvest, but you will have to buy in advance in order to have time to prepare before planting.

About a month before the start of planting work, you need to spread the seed potatoes in a bright room, but so that direct sunlight does not fall on it.

A few days before planting, each tuber is cut into several parts with two or three eyes on each of them, kept in the light until a distinct green color of the skin appears.

To protect the bushes from attacks by the wireworm and the Colorado potato beetle, sprouted tubers can be treated with special Prestige or Taboo agents. Before planting, you can use growth stimulants, they do not just drive the sprouts up, they also make the plant stronger, strengthen the immune system, you can use "Emistim" or "Epin-Extra".

On a bed dug twice (in autumn and spring), rows of holes 15 cm deep are prepared, 40-50 cm are left between the holes, and at least 70 cm between the rows.

Rotted grass, compost or just thin twigs are placed at the bottom of each hole, such a pillow will save a plant that has just begun to develop from unexpected frosts. Each piece of potato is dipped in wood ash and lowered into a prepared place, a hole is buried.

Ash will scare off pests and feed the roots, insulation left at the bottom of the hole will also be an excellent top dressing.

You need to spud three times. For the first time, the sprouts that appear above the ground are simply covered with soil completely. The second time they spud the bushes during flowering, this must be done carefully so as not to damage the plant. The third time hilling is carried out when the bushes begin to lean towards the ground.

Potatoes cannot be fertilized with chemicals, but if there is a shortage of boron in the soil, the tubers will grow with voids inside, which will negatively affect their quality, exclude their long-term storage, but it is difficult to find out about this in advance.

The lack of nitrogen is indicated by the yellowish pallor of sluggish leaves.

In this case, between the last two hilling, you can water the aisles with a solution of bird droppings (or mullein) infusion, this will return the bushes to a dark green color and elasticity.

Harvested usually after lodging and wilting of the tops; in the governor's variety, this time comes approximately 90 - 100 days after germination.

Storage

Potatoes intended for seeds are left to dry in the light (avoiding direct sunlight), and then stored separately from other varieties and from that part of the crop that is intended for food. It is stored at a temperature of +3 degrees and a humidity of 95%.

If there is a fear that the temperature will fluctuate, that it may drop lower, it is worth insulating the potatoes. It is best to place something under the boxes so that they are not on the floor. And on top of them, it is advisable to cover them with straw or special covering material.

Tuleevsky potatoes: description of the variety and cultivation features

Tuleevsky potatoes, which have recently gained unprecedented popularity among gardeners and have become one of the most common varieties, is a table variety and has an early ripening period.

:

Features and benefits of the variety

The main factors that contributed to the spread of this potato variety were its extremely high yield (with proper care, up to five hundred kilograms of harvest can be harvested from one hundred square meters) and resistance to many diseases, in particular, scab, Alternaria and late blight.

It is also worth noting that Tuleevsky potatoes are perfectly stored and practically have no spoiled tubers, both during harvesting and during long-term storage. Another undoubted advantage of this variety can be called the large size of the potatoes (as a rule, the weight of one reaches the mark of four hundred to five hundred grams, and some specimens grow up to six hundred grams).

This variety is the most resistant to the invasion of insects and harmful parasites. The potato fruit is very resistant to rotting and has excellent storage characteristics.

The bushes of this potato are quite compact in size and have an average height. The flowers are white, and the tubers, which have a regular oval shape, are yellowish-beige (the flesh of this variety is also yellowish).

Tuleevsky potato planting rules

Tuleyevsky potato seeds should be purchased in advance. Before planting in the soil, it is necessary to warm them up in a warm place or room. After laying out the potatoes in a thin layer, leave them for 3-4 weeks.

There should be enough light in the room, but you should definitely avoid direct sunlight.

This must be done so that the corned beef enzyme is formed in the tubers, which has protective properties against potato diseases in cold weather or in minor frosts.

The most common method of planting Tuleyevsky potatoes is by planting in grooves. To do this, it is necessary to cut the tubers into halves three days before planting the potatoes and warm them up in the sun. A distance of 70 centimeters must be maintained between the holes.

The depth of the holes should not exceed 15 centimeters. Immediately before laying out the potatoes in the hole, it is necessary to dip each slice in wood ash. It is advisable to spread the slices in the holes on the rotten grass poured in a thin layer, or on small twigs.

When the first shoots appear in a week, the “bedding” base used will warm the slices in case of frost. But in addition, it is worth covering the seedlings with foil or, for example, straw.

This potato is good because to save space on your site, you can plant it between currant bushes or, for example, gooseberries.

Necessary potato care

Growing potatoes of the Tuleyevsky variety practically does not differ from the process of growing other varieties, but it has several features. So, it cannot be watered throughout the summer.

It is also unacceptable to use any chemical fertilizers: only humus can be used for this variety.

Moreover, if the land is not particularly depleted, you can do without any fertilizers altogether.

To obtain the desired harvest results, it must be hilled two or three times.

1. Hilling for the first time should occur immediately after the appearance of the first shoots, which, when hilling, are completely covered with earth.
2. The second hilling is carried out during flowering. But you need to be careful and work extremely carefully so as not to knock off the inflorescences.
3. Hilling is carried out for the third time already when the tops lie on the aisles.

If possible, if you understand that the potatoes lack strength, you can fertilize the potatoes with a light solution of chicken manure between the first and second hillocks.

Storing potatoes

In order not to purchase seed potatoes for planting again next year, select the number of tubers you need from the resulting crop for planting next year.

Before storing the potatoes, wash them thoroughly and put the tubers in a thin layer in a very bright place so that they all turn green. Then they can be lowered into the cellar.

Tuleevsky potatoes for planting must be stored separately from other potato varieties (potatoes intended for food can be stored next to other varieties).

The temperature should be observed up to + 3 degrees, the humidity should not exceed 95 percent.

If you store potatoes in a place where significant temperature fluctuations are possible, then it is advisable to additionally insulate the tubers by placing an additional layer of straw under them and covering them with improvised materials.

So, Tuleyevsky potatoes are good because they are wonderful both when frying and when cooking. The tubers keep their shape perfectly, but at the same time they are quite soft and moderately crumbly. The wonderful aroma of these potatoes when cooking them will not leave you indifferent.

Potato variety Tuleyevsky: description, reviews:

It is impossible to imagine the diet of a modern person without potatoes. It is used for soups, casseroles, side dishes, as fillings for various products, it is also good just boiled. This culture appeared in our country thanks to Peter I, but initially the potato was not appreciated at its true worth. The vegetable became widespread only in the forties of the XIX century.

Currently, a huge number of varieties of Russian and foreign selection have been bred. We offer for consideration Tuleevsky potatoes with a description of the variety. Although it was bred relatively recently, it has already gained popularity due to such qualities as unpretentiousness, high yield, good taste, and resistance to diseases.

Creation of a variety

Tuleevsky potatoes were created by breeders of Siberia at the Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture in the city of Kemerovo. To create it, several varieties of Russian and Canadian selection were used, including Tolokan and Chernsky. It took about 10 years to remove it.

Its name - Tuleyevsky - the potato received in honor of the most popular person in Kuzbass, the governor of the Kemerovo region, Aman Gumirovich Tuleyev, who has held this post for 20 years. The variety got into the State Register in 2006.

It is recommended for cultivation in the regions of Western Siberia.

Where is culture cultivated?

Despite the fact that this variety was bred specifically for Siberian climatic conditions, it is widespread in the Far East, the Urals, as well as in the western part of Russia. Tuleyevsky is grown in agricultural holdings, on farm fields and private household plots.

Tuleevsky potatoes: description

So, let's get started. The bush of the Tuleyevsky potato variety is compact, low - it grows up to 30-35 centimeters, the leaves are dark green. The flowers are purple.The shape of the tubers is elongated-oval, the fruits are even, the peel is yellow, slightly rough with a small number of eyes. The flesh of potatoes is yellow, rich in color, dense.

This type of starch contains 14-17%. On average, the weight of one tuber reaches 300 g, but the weight of some can reach 600 g. Usually from one bush comes out from 20 to 30 tubers of the same size, there are almost no small fruits. The Tuleyevsky variety is recognized as one of the leaders of the best varieties of domestic selection.

It is not picky about the composition of the soil, it is drought-resistant, and is able to grow in any climatic conditions.

Characteristics of the Tuleyevsky variety

In the State Register, this variety is designated as mid-early, the period from planting potatoes to harvesting is 50-60 days. The wilting of the tops occurs in 2-3 months.

Main characteristics:

1. A high yield is noted, on average from 200 to 300 centners (record 424 centners) per hectare.
2. Root crops are located close to the surface of the earth, the nest is quite compact.
3. The peel and flesh of potatoes are elastic, which protects the fruit from mechanical damage.
4. Tuleevsky potatoes are a variety for table purposes. When boiled, it does not boil over, it has a pleasant potato aroma. In terms of taste, it surpasses many other varieties.

Advantages

Potato bushes are compact in shape, this allows you to plant it between garden bushes and trees and significantly save space. The variety is drought-resistant, not picky about watering, does not need ammonia and phosphorus fertilizers.

Flaws

If there is a lack of boron in the soil, voids begin to form in the tubers. Deficiency signs:

• flowers on potatoes begin to fall off;
• the tops dry up;
• there is a thickening of the stems;
• pale green stripes appear on the leaves (along the veins).

Plants are sprayed with a solution of boric acid, prepared as follows: 2 grams of acid are diluted in 10 liters of water. The treatment is carried out in cloudy calm weather in the morning or in the evening, during the summer the procedure is repeated several times.

Diseases and pests

Like all potato varieties, Tuleyevsky is more or less susceptible to diseases and pests.

Has a strong immunity: to cancer, alternaria, scab.

Moderate susceptibility: to viruses, late blight.

Susceptible to: golden potato nematode.

From the Colorado potato beetle, seed is first processed for prophylaxis, and bushes are processed during the growing season.

Agrotechnics

Seed potatoes, 30 days before planting, are laid out for vernalization in boxes and placed in a bright place, excluding the sun's rays.

In order to protect tubers and bushes from pests, germinated seed material can be treated with Tabu or Prestige preparations.

In order to activate the germination of the eyes, to form a stronger bush and increase immunity, already before planting, the seeds are treated with a stimulant - "Emistim" or "Epin-Extra".

The soil where potatoes are planted must be dug up twice - in spring and autumn. Planting is carried out after the soil warms up to a temperature of + 8-10 ° C.

Tuleevsky potatoes are preferable to plant in grooves. Three days before planting, it is better to cut large potatoes into several pieces (2-3) 50 g each and leave 2-3 eyes on each lobe.

Then it is left in the sun until the skin of the potato turns green. They are planted in holes with a depth of 10-15 cm, at a distance of 65-70 cm from each other.

Only organic fertilizers are applied: chicken manure, humus, compost.

Hilling

Tuleevsky potatoes, according to the reviews of experienced potato growers, should be hilled 3 times during the growing season, a correctly performed procedure stimulates the formation of tubers.

After the seedlings appear on the surface of the earth, hilling is carried out for the first time, while covering the plants completely with earth.This will help protect plants from recurrent spring frosts, which often occur in Siberia and other regions.

The second time, this procedure is carried out when the potatoes bloom. For the third time, Tuleevsky potatoes are spud, when his tops begin to lie in the aisles. These potatoes do not need watering, on the contrary, excess moisture makes the tubers watery.

During dry periods, it is recommended to loosen the aisles. In the event that there is no rain for more than a month, the soil between the rows can be moistened.

Cleaning and storage

Potatoes begin to be harvested after the tops have completely wilted. Tubers intended for planting next year are folded separately, then washed and dried in the sun. Tuleevsky seed potatoes are stored separately from other varieties, including even their own, intended for food and sale.

The requirements for storing the crop are as follows: a dark, well-ventilated room, the air temperature in it should be about + 3 ° C with a relative humidity of 85-90%. Subject to all storage conditions, potatoes are perfectly preserved until the new harvest, there are practically no bad spoiled tubers.

Pseudo-Tuleyevsky potatoes

Sometimes, under the guise of Tuleyevsky potatoes, unscrupulous sellers offer other varieties, for example, Nevsky. Outwardly, these two varieties are similar, but you can still distinguish them by taste and appearance.

Tuleyevsky is yellow in color, has a rough peel, at Nevsky it is smooth, with pink eyes.

And there are also differences in taste - Tuleevskaya after heat treatment is more crumbly and pleasant yellow in color.

Tuleevsky potatoes: reviews

According to gardeners, potatoes pleases with high yields, their unpretentiousness, their ability to be well stored until the next harvest. It is also valued for its presentation: the tubers are large, of the same size, clean, with a small number of eyes.

Another advantage is considered resistance to various diseases. The bushes are compact, the potatoes are firmly attached to the roots, do not fall off.

Its taste, the appearance of the finished dish are good, they note that mashed potatoes are especially beautiful from it.

Tuleyevsky potatoes: description of the variety with photos and reviews

No vegetable in Russia is even close to as popular as potatoes. He has long and firmly entered the diet, earning the respectful nickname "second bread". It is very difficult to imagine a garden plot that did not have at least a small patch of potatoes.

Selection does not stand still, so new varieties are constantly appearing. The most difficult thing for a gardener is to decide which ones he will grow this year. Unpretentiousness, versatility of purpose, yield and excellent taste are the main "trump cards" of the Tuleevsky variety.

It was launched relatively recently, but has already gained popularity.

Tuleevsky potatoes: description of the variety and characteristics with a photo

Tuleevsky potatoes are the result of painstaking work of Siberian breeders at the Kemerovo Research Institute of Agriculture. Several Russian and Canadian varieties "participated" in hybridization, in particular, Chernsky and Tolokan. Work on its breeding lasted almost ten years.

It got its name in honor of the governor of the Kemerovo region, Aman Tuleyev, who has been holding this post for two decades, therefore it is sometimes called "governor", especially at home. Tuleyevsky entered the State Register in 2006.

It is recommended for them for cultivation in the West Siberian region.

Tuleevsky potatoes - a remarkable achievement of Siberian breeders

The variety was developed specifically for growing in harsh Siberian conditions, but it was quickly appreciated by gardeners of the Urals, the Far East, as well as those who live in the European part of Russia.

It appeared on the open market about ten years ago, and since then has consistently been included in the top ten most popular varieties.

Tuleyevsky is widely cultivated both in small household plots and in farms that grow it on an industrial scale.

High yield allows you to grow Tuleevsky not only on personal household plots, but also on an industrial scale.

The variety belongs to the medium early category. Several bushes can be dug in 50-60 days after the first shoots appear, harvesting is started when the tops finally wither, 100-110 days after planting.

The bushes of this potato variety are low, only 30–35 cm. Each plant has at least six side shoots. Stems are straight or slightly drooping. There are few leaves, but they are quite large, with slightly corrugated edges. The flowers are bright, lilac, at the base of the petals are painted in a yellow tint. The corolla is large, snow-white. There are relatively few fruits.

The bushes of the Tuleyevsky potatoes are compact, this allows you to save space in the garden

Tubers are aligned, in the form of an elongated oval. The skin is yellow-beige, covered with a "mesh" rough to the touch. "Eyes" are superficial, there are very few of them. The pulp is dense, a shade of butter. When heat treated, it becomes brighter, turns yellow.

Tuleyevsky is valued for its attractive appearance and excellent taste.

The average weight of one potato varies from 150 g to 270 g. Small ones come across very rarely. But there are record-breaking tubers gaining weight of 500-600 g. Of course, this is possible only with proper care and favorable weather conditions. On average, 20-25 tubers with a total weight of 6-7 kg are obtained from one bush.

The average yield of Tuleyevsky when grown on an industrial scale is about 40 tons per hectare, the maximum is 50 tons per hectare. These are data from tests conducted by breeders. But even higher rates are possible. A case has been documented when 320 kg of potatoes ripened at the end of summer from 3 kg of tubers bought for planting in Altai.

: what does the potato of this variety look like

The merits and demerits of culture

The popularity of Tuleyevsky is easily explained by its merits:

• "Plastic". The variety successfully adapts to a wide variety of climatic and weather conditions. It is not very sensitive to drought, heavy rainfall, intense heat, or vice versa, too cold weather for summer. Tuleevsky is especially appreciated for its drought resistance - even in hot summers, it can do almost without watering.
• The presence of genetically inherent immunity to many diseases typical of culture. Tuleyevsky is not affected by Alternaria, late blight, scab, potato cancer, protected from all types of rot.
• The compactness of the plant. For Tuleyevsky, you can not even set aside a separate bed, but plant it between bushes or trees. This allows you to significantly save space on the garden plot, which is always in short supply. Especially those who are the happy owner of the notorious "six acres".
• Consistently high yield. This is due to the morphology of the bush. Each of them has many side shoots on which tubers are formed.
• The compactness of the "nest" of tubers and their large size. This minimizes mechanical damage during harvesting. Large potatoes keep better.
• No need to apply nitrogen-containing and phosphorus fertilizers to the soil. This will especially appeal to those who do not like to "poison" plants with chemicals.
• The presence of a dense peel and firm pulp. Tuleyevsky is resistant to mechanical damage, well stored, and tolerates transportation well. Practice shows that no more than 10-15% of tubers are spoiled during the winter.
• Versatility of purpose and excellent taste. starch in the pulp is low - 13.5-17%.Because of this, the tubers do not lose their shape during heat treatment, retain a pronounced aroma and acquire a light sweetish aftertaste. In principle, Tuleyevsky is suitable for preparing any side dishes, soups and main courses, but especially mashed potatoes from it deserve a lot of rave reviews. Professional tasters rate the taste of this potato at 3.59 points out of five.

Puree made from Tuleevsky potatoes deservedly receives only rave reviews, but in principle, it is suitable for any dish

Often the standard of taste is considered to be a foreign selection of potatoes, for example, the well-known Adretta.

Nevertheless, at the "blind" tasting of six newest and old well-deserved varieties, which was held in 2011 in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, in which 40 people took part, Tuleyevsky took the first place.

That same Adretta became the penultimate one, and the Rocco variety closed the sixth, which is considered one of the best in taste at home (in the Netherlands) and in Europe.

: potatoes after winter storage

He also has some disadvantages:

• Weak resistance to such a dangerous pest as the golden potato nematode.
• A small number of fruits. This creates certain difficulties for those who renew planting material, independently growing mini-tubers from seeds. In potatoes, they do not differ in germination, so they need to be stocked up in excess.
• Reaction to Boron Deficiency in Soil. Because of this, voids are formed in the tubers (especially in the largest ones). It is impossible to store such potatoes for a long time.

One of the few disadvantages of the variety is its weak resistance to potato nematode

What to look for when growing

Tuleyevsky is not least appreciated by gardeners for its unpretentiousness and general "non-capriciousness". The latter applies to weather conditions, and the quality of the soil, and maintenance. Nevertheless, you still have to pay a minimum of attention to planting if you want to harvest a bountiful harvest at the end of summer.

Despite not too favorable weather, seedlings of Tuleevsky potatoes appear together and quickly enough

Preparation of tubers for planting begins a month before the intended planting in the ground. This should not be done too early - the soil at a depth of 8–10 cm should warm up to no less than 8–10 ° C. A sure sign is the beginning of flowering of dandelions and lilacs.

The potatoes are removed from the cellar and laid out in one or two layers on the floor of the room, where the temperature is maintained at 15-18 ° C. They must not be exposed to direct sunlight.

The potatoes should acquire a light greenish tint - this will make the skin more durable and protect it from many pests.

Greening tubers makes potatoes more resistant to infection by pathogenic fungi, viruses, bacteria, harmful insects

Since the Tuleyevsky variety does not have immunity against the nematode, special attention should be paid to the fight against it. For prophylaxis during gardening, the tubers are sprayed several times with an interval of at least five days with a solution of Tabu and Prestige preparations prepared according to the instructions. To make the sprouts more powerful and numerous, use Epin-Extra, Emistim, potassium humate.

Pre-planting treatment with Prestige helps to increase the immunity of tubers

The garden for Tuleyevsky is prepared in the same way as for any other variety of potatoes. The soil is carefully dug up in the fall and deeply loosened in the spring, simultaneously removing stones and rhizomes of weeds.

Humus or rotted compost (10–12 l / m²), as well as sifted wood ash (about a liter per 1 m²) are used as fertilizers.

If the soil is acidic (which the potatoes, in principle, cannot tolerate), add dolomite flour, crushed chalk, powdered eggshells (200-400 g / m²).

Dolomite flour is an effective neutralizer of excessive soil acidity

When planting, 60–65 cm is left between the holes, 50–60 cm between the rows of plantings. The depth of the hole is 10-15 cm, it depends on the quality of the soil. In heavy soils, potatoes are planted closer to the surface.

A handful of onion husks are placed in each hole, tubers, especially cut ones, are powdered with wood ash. This is another preventive measure against nematodes.

It is useful to add a little rotten grass, small twigs - such a "bedding" will warm the tubers in case of frost.

The bushes of the Tuleyevsky potatoes are quite compact, however, you need to leave enough space between them

: fight against potato nematode

The bushes at Tuleyevsky are not high, but they need to be hilled at least three times per season. The first is as soon as shoots appear (they need to be completely covered). This will save young plants from recurrent spring frosts, which are very likely in Siberia. By the way, even in adverse weather conditions, seedlings appear quickly and amicably.

The second is at the same time as the beginning of flowering. The last time Tuleyevsky is spud is when the stems begin to drop, "fitting" into the aisles. If the weather in summer is not very good, before that, an infusion of fresh cow dung, bird droppings or nettle leaves, dandelion, diluted with water in a proportion of 1: 8, 1:20, 1: 6, respectively, is poured into the furrows.

This is a good "support" for plants.

Correct hilling stimulates tuberization

A useful procedure for this variety is to regularly loosen the row spacings. Ideally, this should be done every time it rains.

Tuleyevsky does not need watering. On the contrary, some gardeners believe that this procedure is even harmful for him. Because of this, the tubers become more "watery", and the taste and aroma of potatoes are less pronounced. It can also provoke rotting tubers. Only if there has been no rain for more than a month, and the heat persists, you can slightly moisten the aisles.

Tuleyevsky does not need watering, but loosening row spacings is a very useful procedure

From top dressing Tuleevsky prefers natural organic matter - rotted manure, humus, compost, wood ash. But fertilizers are applied only in case of severe depletion of the soil. This usually happens if potatoes are grown in one place for more than two to three years. Everything you need is brought in simultaneously with the autumn digging of the garden.

Tuleevsky does not like chemical fertilizers, but reacts very well to natural organic matter

This variety is susceptible to boron deficiency in soil. Obvious signs are the dropping of flowers, drying of the apical buds, "squat" and thickening of plant stems (they become more like rosettes), light green stripes along the veins on the leaves.

To avoid the appearance of voids in the tubers, the plants are sprayed with a solution of boric acid (2 g per 10 l of water). Consumption rate - 1l / m². The best time for the procedure is a cloudy, windless morning or evening.

It will need to be repeated several times during the season, since the boron does not possess the ability to "pass" from old leaves to new ones.

Boron deficiency in the soil immediately manifests itself in the appearance of potato bushes

They start harvesting only after the tops turn yellow and wither. Tubers intended for planting next year are immediately laid aside, washed, dried and warmed up in the sun for 7-10 days.

Interestingly, the planting material does not tolerate the neighborhood not only with tubers of other varieties, but also with Tuleyevsky itself, intended for food or sale. This rule does not apply to the latter - it is safely stored next to any other potatoes.

Optimal storage conditions are temperature around 3 ° C and high humidity (85–90%). The room should be dark and well ventilated.

Consistently high yield of Tuleyevsky potatoes is one of its main advantages

Tuleevsky potatoes: variety description

The popularity of potatoes in our country can only be compared with the popularity of bread. A lot of dishes are prepared from this versatile vegetable, and it is generally unthinkable to imagine a garden without a plot allocated for potatoes.

There are many varieties. They differ not only in terms of ripening and yield, but also in the form in which their taste is optimally revealed.

But Tuleevsky potatoes can be used in absolutely any form, except, of course, raw.

Characteristics of this garden crop

This variety appeared as a result of ten years of painstaking work by domestic breeders. Tuleesky potatoes have an early ripening period. Ripens in an average of one hundred days.

It is characterized by compact, medium-sized shrubs with white flowers and dark green leaves. Oval tubers with superficial eyes are yellow, the same color as the pulp.

The peel is of a similar color and has a mesh structure.

The yield of the variety is excellent. According to gardeners, it is a pleasure to dig such potatoes. The Tuleyevsky variety from one bush can give up to twenty pieces of fruit. Small potatoes are extremely rare. On average, the weight of one potato can be 250-350 grams. In exceptional cases, with proper care, of course, he can reach a figure of half a kilogram.

Benefits of potatoes

Keeping quality of this potato is excellent. He is not afraid of diseases like scab, phytophthora, potato cancer, to which other varieties are so susceptible. And the resistance to parasites and rot explains the good condition of the potatoes after prolonged storage. However, in fairness, it is worth making a reservation about the susceptibility of the variety to the golden potato nematode.

The unusual yield of the variety was mentioned above. Moreover, the amount of the harvest does not strongly depend on geographic latitudes.

The unsurpassed taste of potatoes in boiled, fried and baked form is noted by everyone who has ever tasted it. Tuleevsky is in no way inferior to the standard taste of Adretta. Spoiled tubers are extremely rare when dug up and after long storage.

Tuleevsky potatoes are drought-resistant, as the breeders themselves note.

In terms of early maturity, the variety is not inferior to any other known variety.

Seed potatoes

Potatoes for planting this variety should be purchased in advance, since before planting in the ground, it will need to be warmed up in a warm room.

To do this, Tuleyevsky potatoes, the description of which was presented above, should be laid out in a thin layer and left for several weeks. The illumination in the room should be good, but direct sunlight should not fall on the warming tubers.

They prevent the formation of the corned beef enzyme in potatoes, which is responsible for the protective properties of the variety against diseases and cold weather. The light should be diffused.

How to plant a seed variety Tuleyevsky

The variety is planted in the grooves. A few days before planting, the seed tubers should be cut and allowed to warm up in this state. It is not worth planting these potatoes thickly. The Tuleyevsky variety requires space for development.

The optimal planting scheme is 70 to 40. Before planting in the ground, each tuber should be dipped in wood ash.

If you have the opportunity, strength and patience, then the bottom of the hole should be covered with rotten grass or small twigs, which can protect the seeds from suddenly returning frosts.

What kind of care is required for the miracle variety Tuleyevsky

Tuleyevsky potatoes do not need special care, but several rules should be taken into account when growing, since it is their strict implementation that will ensure good yield. The first thing this variety really needs is hilling, which will need to be done three times per season.

The first time this will need to be done after the appearance of the first shoots. The second time is during the flowering period. And do not worry about the fact that the peduncles are damaged or come off at the same time. This does not affect the yield of potatoes.

The third hilling occurs at the moment when the tops are already inclined to the aisles.

Tuleevsky potatoes (the description of the variety can be read above) does not need watering at all. This unpretentious vegetable will not require a drop of water throughout the summer.

In the case of this variety, we will have to forget about the chemical fertilizers we are used to. Superphosphate and ammonium nitrate are strictly prohibited. The variety reacts well to manure and humus. If the land was previously fertilized, then there is no need to make it.

However, reviews indicate possible voids in the middle of the tuber, which appear when there is a lack of boron in the soil. Tubers with voids inside cannot be stored for a long time. So it's best to start experimenting with planting a small area to make sure the soil is suitable and has all the nutrients it needs.

Tuleevsky storage

If the potatoes justified all the hopes placed and there is a desire to plant it next year, then you can immediately select the required number of tubers and leave them for seeds. It is worth finding a secluded place for storing seeds, that is, seed tubers should not be next to other varieties. Fruits intended for food will be perfectly stored next to other varieties.

Prepare the potatoes for storage by washing them and laying them out in a thin layer in a bright place. After drying, the seed potatoes can be lowered to the main storage area.

The air temperature in the selected room should not be higher than +3 ° C. Humidity should be 95%.

If a significant fluctuation in air temperature is expected, then the seed tubers must be additionally insulated with a layer of straw or other improvised material.
