The best potato varieties for the population!

Spring has come into its own, and real potato growers are worried about the future harvest. One of the main questions is what varieties of potatoes to plant on your site? Much depends on the choice of the variety: when it will be possible to taste young potatoes - in early July or only in August; how it will taste; is it convenient for the hostess to clean it; whether the tubers will be affected by diseases. The yield of the potato and how it will be stored depends on the variety. There are drought-resistant and moisture-loving varieties, varieties adapted to certain types of soil, varieties also differ in technological properties, that is, in their ability to serve as a raw material for the production of potato products (crackers, chips, grits, etc.).

That is why potato growers are so picky about the choice of variety. And there is plenty to choose from. The Penza Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture, located in the working village of Lunino, produces revitalized seeds of 21 varieties of potatoes.

How to understand this diversity? To do this, you must carefully study the description of the proposed varieties. It should be noted that in the department of potato growing of the Penza Research Institute of Agriculture, seeds are produced only of those varieties that have been tested at the state variety plots of the region, in the department itself and have shown themselves to be fruitful, with high taste, resistant to diseases, and well stored.The seeds are healed by individual selection of plants and testing of their offspring in two generations.

In recent years, potato production has increasingly shifted to the private sector; more than 95% of this production is grown on private plots. The population often uses off-grade food tubers infected with viral, bacterial and other diseases for planting. Therefore, individual gardens and summer cottages become sources of potato diseases. All this creates a high infectious background and sharply reduces productivity in potato growing.

Healthy seeds of varieties adapted for cultivation in the Penza region are the key to high yields of potatoes in any farm. Appreciate your work! Use good quality seed. Planting potatoes with healthy tubers increases the yield by 2 - 2.5 times!

What kind of potatoes to plant in Central Russia. It depends on what you want to get in the end: early potatoes or for the winter, tasty or beautiful. Formulate a preference, analyze the existing conditions: soil and climate, and the choice will be obvious.

Growing potatoes in the Middle Lane

A characteristic feature of the Middle zone, in other words, the Central European part of Russia, is a temperate continental climate and excessive humidity. There are no severe frosts and heat here. Moderate seasonality: snowy and mild winters and warm and cool summers. Average temperatures in winter are kept within -8, -12 degrees, in summer +17, +23. The warm period lasts from late May to mid-September.

Gardeners in this region have to throw all their strength into combating excess moisture, which turns their peat and podzolic soils into swamps. The potato yield is quite high here - up to 0.5 tons. With special care, these indicators increase by 10–20%.

Potato types

According to the ripening rate, potatoes are divided into the following types:

• Early - ripen in 50-60 days from the moment of germination, are not subject to storage, are eaten immediately after digging up.
• Mid-ripening - 70-90 days from germination - are distinguished by good growth and storage in the conditions of Central Russia.
• Late ones - more than 100 days - are not grown in the open field of this region, as they do not have time to ripen.

Planting potatoes in the Middle Lane begins in early May, when the soil warms up to +12 degrees, and the night air is not lower than +15 degrees. The first time the planting is covered with a film from sudden frosts.

Potatoes are usually watered with precipitation. The exception is the emergence of sprouts, budding and the end of flowering. During these periods, plants need additional watering and feeding.

Not every potato variety can be grown in Central Russia.

Climate-dependent variety

A good harvest will give a variety that matches the type of soil and climatic characteristics of the region. The middle lane is a huge territory, in different areas of which there are distinctive weather conditions. Therefore, preferences are given there to different varieties of potatoes.

For example, in the Moscow region, with its high humidity and cloudiness, they choose for planting mainly early varieties of potatoes with good resistance to late blight. The most common are Early rose, Falensky, Provento, Lyubimets, Ostara, Lorkh, Peredovik, Early Priekulsky, Penza early ripening, Lugovskoy, Nevsky, Charodey, Sineglazka, Luck, Zhukovsky.

In the north-west of Russia, the advantage is in varieties that tolerate frosts and sudden temperature changes well. Amorosa, Impala, Latona, Karatop, Nida, Garnet, Romano, Aurora, Folva are popular.

Early varieties of potatoes for Central Russia - description

To get a harvest in the middle of summer, gardeners grow unpretentious early potatoes, which ripen before the spread of diseases and all kinds of pests begins. You can dig up fresh potatoes in the open field after 50 days from the moment of germination, and even earlier in greenhouses and greenhouses. But having dug it out, it must be eaten immediately, since it cannot be stored for a long time.

Mid-season and high-yielding

The most popular potato varieties are mid-season. They keep well in winter and their tubers taste much better than early ones.

Late ripening

Late-ripening potatoes in Central Russia do not have time to ripen, so they are not grown here in the open field.

High-yielding varieties

Every gardener wants to have high-yielding potatoes on his plot. Many varieties with good performance are intended for Central Russia. But in order to achieve them, you need to provide plants with good care, including weeding, watering, hilling, fertilizing, protection from diseases and pests.

The most delicious potatoes

The taste of tubers is the main reason for which potatoes, in principle, are grown by gardeners. In this matter, you should take into account your culinary preferences. Some varieties of potatoes are good for mashed potatoes, others are great for soups and baking, others can be eaten raw, added to a salad, there are also varieties of universal preparation.

Elite tubers

The potatoes obtained from the elite sowing material are not subject to diseases and pests, have excellent taste and high yield. The cost of the elite is higher than that of other varieties, so not every gardener can purchase it.

Elite varieties include:

• Dutch selection - Red Scarlet, Latona, Romano, Impala, Condor - yield 600-800 kg per one hundred square meters. It is possible to grow on the site for no more than 3 years, then the planting material should be updated.
• Russian selection - Luck, Golubizna, Lugovskoy, Zhukovsky early, Nevsky - the yield is much lower than the Dutch ones, but they do not degenerate longer. They can be grown on the site for more than 5 years, propagating with tubers from the best bushes.

Potato varieties for the Urals

In the Urals, the climate is rather harsh for plants: constant temperature drops, dramatically changing weather conditions, uneven distribution of precipitation. For cultivation in this region, you need to choose only resistant and zoned varieties.

Middle Volga region

A characteristic feature of the Volga region is instability and weather anomalies associated with the influence of Asia and the Atlantic. Here, the cold summer quickly turns into hot summer, the spring is short, especially in the southern regions, the frost-free period sometimes lasts up to 150 days. The lack of moisture in the soil and air due to the low amount of precipitation, frequent prolonged droughts cannot positively affect the agricultural activity of the region. Winds, dry winds and dust storms add complexity. It is necessary to choose a potato variety for growing in the Volga region with good drought tolerance.

Growing and harvesting potatoes is possible in every region. The main thing is to choose the right variety.
