Potato varieties grown in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

On the territory of the Russian Federation, more than 300 varieties of potatoes of domestic and foreign selection are approved for use. Such a variety is not easy to understand. Experts recommend, when selecting a variety, to pay attention to whether it is present in the State Register and whether it is recommended for your climatic zone. Consider which varieties in Siberia have proved to be the most reliable, abundant and delicious.

The best potato varieties for Siberia

Despite the fact that Siberia is not like the homeland of the vegetable - Bolivia - the culture feels great, annually showing high yields and delighting potato growers with an excellent taste and size of tubers. The climate and soil conditions of Siberia make it possible to grow almost any variety of early (50–65 days), medium early (70–75 days) and medium (80–95 days) potatoes. Late potatoes are not grown in Siberia, since the duration of the warm period in the region is insufficient for the full maturation of the tubers.

The climatic conditions of Siberia allow you to get a good harvest of potatoes

Soil and climatic conditions sometimes differ even within the same area, what can we say about land plots located at opposite ends of the region. It is even more difficult to choose the best potatoes for Siberia, a vast region stretching over 3 time zones. Which of the varieties to choose? You should not rely on new products if they are not already on the list of officially recommended varieties. When planning to replenish the assortment of potatoes on the site, choose the already well-known names.

Table: potatoes recommended for Siberian regions (for 2016)

As can be seen from the table, for each region of Siberia, you can choose good potatoes of both domestic and foreign selection. Usually gardeners grow on their site not one, but at least two or three varieties, trying to pick up tubers with different ripening periods.

Experienced owners say that the best potatoes are the ones that can grow specifically in your garden.

The most productive varieties

Siberia has a rather harsh climate. The region is characterized by frosts in late spring and early summer, droughts in May, intense heat in July and cold snaps in August. But even in such difficult weather conditions, some varieties have time to fully mature and give a yield of 400 or more centners / ha. Unfortunately, even with full adherence to agricultural technology, it is impossible to get a record number of tubers from a hundred square meters from mediocre varieties. To grow a large crop, you need to pay maximum attention to the choice of planting material.

The following varieties are distinguished by a high yield (40-50 t / ha):

  • Uddlets - medium early, obtained at the Kemerovo Research Institute of Agriculture (Kemerovo).In this potato, the aerial part has a modest size, but rather large oval tubers, covered with a smooth yellow skin with very small eyes, are hidden under the tops. Average tuber weight - 250 g. Starch content - 12-16%, yield - 20-50 t / ha, in some years - 60 t / ha. The variety is not only fruitful, but also decaying - 94% of the harvested tubers remain until spring;potato varieties grown in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

    Udalets variety is characterized by high yield and excellent keeping quality.

  • Nevsky;
  • Sotochka.

The last two varieties will be discussed in more detail below.

Early potato varieties for Siberia

Early-ripening potatoes are less productive than autumn varieties, are stored worse and suffer more from diseases and pests. Early varieties are more demanding to care for than others. But all these disadvantages are paid off by obtaining fresh products in the shortest possible time.

The following early potato cultivars are popular in Siberia:

  • Priekulsky early (Latvian selection). The taste of this potato is satisfactory, the average tuber weight is 100 g. The first tubers can be dug out already on the 60th day after planting. In the conditions of Western and Eastern Siberia, after the complete withering away of the tops, the variety shows a yield of 350 centners per hectare. The tubers are oval, milky in color, the eyes are small, the skin is smooth, the flesh does not turn black when cut. The cultivar is strongly affected by late blight, but by the time the disease spreads massively, the crop usually has time to form.

    Variety Priekulsky early ("forty days") is a champion in early maturity in Siberia

  • Zhukovsky early. A table variety, bred in the Moscow region, is considered the standard for early potatoes. 2 months after planting, it gives up to 120 c / ha of marketable tubers, the yield during harvesting is 450 c / ha. The cultivar is resistant to nematodes, scab, rhizoctonia. The tops and tubers are moderately affected by late blight. The tubers are oval with small eyes, the skin is pink, smooth, the flesh is white. The tubers of this variety do not boil over. They are very tasty "in their uniforms", suitable for making salads, as after cooking they are easily cut into pieces.

    Zhukovsky early is recommended for the Tyumen region, but it is successfully grown in other Siberian regions.

  • Alena is a very popular variety in Siberia. It was bred in the Moscow region, but the patent for it was acquired by the Omsk SibNIISKhoz. The cultivar is recommended for growing in the Novosibirsk and Omsk regions. The average weight of tubers is 90–160 g. The color of the skin is red, the flesh is beige. The potato tastes good, is moderately soft, does not darken. The variety is excellent for preparing hot meals and processing into chips. Productivity - 170-200 centners / ha, in some years it reaches 400 centners per hectare. Potatoes can be dug up 60–70 days after germination. When harvesting tubers in the middle of the growing season (45-50 days), the Alena variety shows a yield of 150 centners per hectare. Potatoes are moderately resistant to viruses and late blight.

    Alena's potatoes tolerate the absence of moisture and hot weather well, while ensuring a stable harvest

  • Rosara is an early-maturing universal cultivar, bred in Germany. Ripens a week later than the first early varieties. The maximum yield is 415 c / ha. Rosara is resistant to cancer and nematodes, rarely affected by late blight and scab. It doesn't matter if the summer is dry or rainy - if you plant Rosara, you will not be left without a "second bread". At the same time, there is no need to frequently update the planting material, since the yield does not fall for 4–5 years. Rosara's tubers are oblong, leveled in size, well stored and perfectly tolerated during transportation. The skin is red, the flesh is yellowish. The average mass of potatoes is 80–120 g. Tuber crops contain about 15% starch, therefore they do not boil during cooking, but they have a good taste. Suitable for boiled dicing (for salads, vinaigrette), soups, frying and drying.potato varieties grown in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

    Rosara gives an excellent harvest regardless of weather conditions

Mid-early and mid-season potatoes for Siberia

In Siberia, mid-early and mid-season varieties are the basis of the harvest. They keep well and are therefore recommended for autumn and winter consumption. This group includes:

  • Svitanok Kiev is an old mid-early variety. Its main advantage is its outstanding taste characteristics. The starch content in the tubers reaches 19%, the potatoes are very soft, therefore ideal for making mashed potatoes. Svitanok Kiev is well stored, gives rather large tubers, the yield of the variety in Siberia is above average. Does not suffer from cancer, moderately resistant to late blight, can be affected by a nematode. The cultivar is recommended for cultivation in the Omsk, Tyumen and Novosibirsk regions.

  • Hostess. The variety was bred in the city of Tomsk (Siberian Research Institute of Agriculture and Peat), it is recommended for the regions of Novosibirsk and Krasnoyarsk. The average weight of a marketable tuber is 140 g, the maximum yield is more than 380 c / ha. Potatoes of this variety can be used to make mashed potatoes and crispy chips. In early spring, when the carbohydrate content in the tubers decreases after a long storage period, the Hostess becomes suitable for frying and cooking soups. The tubers are round, with a reddish skin and creamy flesh. The cultivar is resistant to cancer and nematodes.

    Hostess potato tubers contain a large amount of carbohydrates, so they have an excellent taste

  • Nevsky is a mid-early variety bred at the Vsevolzhskaya selection station in the seventies of the last century. Although many new varieties have now appeared that surpass Nevsky in yield, it is still recommended for cultivation in a number of regions of Russia, including Tomsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk. The advantages of the variety are resistance to cancer, relative resistance to late blight. Nevsky is exceptionally harvestable, in different years it is possible to collect from 38 to 50 tons per hectare. Tubers ripen 80–95 days after germination. The average fruit weight is about 110 g. The tubers are oblong, with white pulp and thin yellow skin, covered with few small eyes. The cultivar is intended for dining purposes, the taste is satisfactory. Potatoes of this variety do not boil well, therefore they are of little use for mashed potatoes, but they can be used for soup, fried, and baked.

Rating of varieties by taste

The yield per one hundred square meters or hectare is an important characteristic of potatoes, but taste is no less important. To determine the taste characteristics, tubers are steamed without salt. The results can be judged by comparing the following characteristics:

  • Looseness - the more starch in the tubers, the looser they are. The starch content of potatoes ranges from 10% (Nevsky) to 25% (Lazar). Vegetables with a high starch content are not only tastier, but also healthier, as they contain more minerals that the body needs.
  • Smell - boiled tubers should have a noticeable potato aroma.
  • The consistency is hard, soft, watery.

At the tastings, you can evaluate and compare the taste of different varieties of potatoes

In 2016, 10 cultivars were tasted in the Omsk club of potato growers. Agria got the highest score (4.8 out of 5). The rest of the varieties are arranged as follows (in descending order of taste):

  • Unique;
  • Hostess;
  • Knapweed;
  • Epic;
  • Alyona;
  • Scarlet Dawn;
  • Adretta;
  • Karatop;
  • Red Scarlett.

Features of growing potatoes in Siberia

The agricultural technology of Siberian potatoes is somewhat different from the technology of growing this crop in other regions of Russia and the countries of the former USSR. The soil here warms up late, so planting does not begin until May, and in the eastern regions of Siberia - at the end of spring. If potato growers of the middle lane have the opportunity to dig in early potatoes already in June, then in Siberia, meanwhile, shoots are just emerging. None of the techniques, including vernalization, help to noticeably accelerate the appearance of green shoots.

Potatoes can be planted when the ground warms up to a depth of 15 centimeters. The soil temperature should be at least 8 degrees.

A month before planting, tubers are taken out of storage for germination. This technique is very important, since in the conditions of a short northern summer, plants must quickly rise and have time to receive the energy of the sun. Tubers with already appeared sprouts and root buds are planted on the beds.

In Siberia, planting sprouted potatoes is an important condition for obtaining a good harvest.

Planting methods

In Siberia, potatoes are planted in several ways:

  • one-line,
  • tape,
  • comb.

The one-line method is the most common. The tubers are planted in a row at a distance of 25–30 cm from each other, leaving 60–70 cm between the rows.With this planting method, potatoes can be planted shallowly - to a depth of only 10 cm - since hilling will be carried out later.

potato varieties grown in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

When planting potatoes in a single line, the distance between the rows is 60-70 cm

Tape planting is used for industrial cultivation. The potatoes are planted in two rows. The distance between the rows is 30 cm, the gap between the ribbons is 110 cm. With this method of planting, hilling can be carried out with a tractor, the roots of the plants are not damaged.

potato varieties grown in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

With the strip method, potatoes are planted in double rows

Ridge landing is used in areas where there is a lot of rainfall or groundwater is close to the soil surface. The ridges are artificially raised to a height of 20 cm, leaving 70 cm between the rows. This method of planting allows you to harvest an early harvest on waterlogged and heavy soils.

Potatoes are planted in ridges where water comes close to the soil surface

Watering

The amount of water greatly affects the size and quality of the potato crop. Throughout the growing season, it is necessary to carefully monitor the moisture content of the soil. In the dry season, you have to supply water to the site at least 5 times:

  • For the first time, the potatoes are watered 2 weeks after the mass emergence of shoots.
  • The second important period is plant budding. The approximate watering rate at this time is about 7 liters of water for each plant.
  • If the ground becomes dry at a depth of 7 cm, then the plantings need to be additionally moistened.

potato varieties grown in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

Drip irrigation is the most economical way of watering potatoes, which requires a minimum of physical costs.

The next day after moistening, the soil is loosened, at the same time weeding the aisles and rows.

Hilling potatoes

Even in the south of Siberia in June there are often severe frosts on the soil. It is advisable to mulch rows with not yet emerged potatoes with cut grass or other plant residues. Before the emergence of seedlings, the field is not weeded, so as not to accidentally damage future seedlings.

After planting, it is advisable to mulch potato ridges in order to protect the seedlings from frost

While potato seedlings have not yet appeared on the surface, the area can be sprayed with Roundup to destroy perennial and annual weeds.

The first hilling is carried out immediately after germination. It allows you to achieve three goals at once:

  • cover the plants with soil to protect them from night frosts;
  • rid the plantation of weeds;
  • loosen the soil and thus improve the aeration of the roots.

The second hilling can be started when the plants have reached a height of 15–20 cm.

Pest control

In Siberia, potato tubers are harmed by the Colorado potato beetle and wireworm. There is no bear in the region - a pest that annoys potato growers in more southern regions.

They get rid of harmful insects with the help of chemicals, such as:

  • Prestige;
  • Aktara;
  • Force;
  • Bankcol;
  • Eplace Quantum.

In personal farms, the Colorado potato beetle is harvested by hand.

Harvest

Early potatoes in Siberia are harvested from mid-August, other varieties - from mid-September to the second week of October. The tubers are dug up when the stems begin to dry out. A week or two before harvesting, the potato tops are mowed to protect the tubers from late blight. This technique also contributes to better storage and transportation of the crop, since after mowing the leaves, the skin on the tubers becomes coarser.

One to two weeks before harvesting, the tops of the potatoes are mowed to protect the tubers from diseases.

Reviews of gardeners

The climate and soil of Siberia are completely suitable for growing potatoes. The culture feels good in this region, shows a high yield (200-300 c / ha, and some varieties - up to 500 c / ha). In Siberia, varieties of mid-early, early and mid-season ripening can be grown.

Growing potatoes for seeds in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

Climatic conditions of the Krasnoyarsk Territory

The climate of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, stretched over a huge distance from north to south, is extremely complex and diverse. The arrival of heat from the sun in the form of direct and scattered radiation is of great importance in the formation of the climate. On the territory of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the total radiation decreases from south to north. In addition to solar energy, the features of atmospheric circulation are of great importance in the formation of the climate. According to the agroclimatic zoning of Russia, the agricultural part of the Krasnoyarsk Territory belongs to the temperate zone, the cold-temperate sub-zone. An analysis of the natural conditions of the Krasnoyarsk Territory shows that the spring in the agricultural zone is short and dry. Autumn is short with constant low temperatures in September, October, November. Winter with little snow, cold. In most of the territory, stable soil freezing occurs in the first decade of November. The greatest freezing is observed in the steppe zone, where the snow cover is not high. Snow appears at the end of October; in the first half of November, snow cover is established everywhere. In the central and southern regions of the region, the height of the snow cover is 10–20 cm. From the second to the third decade of February, in the forest-steppe and steppe zones, the height of the snow cover decreases, sometimes there are thaws, the snow melts and thickens. The average annual precipitation is 362 mm, of which more than 70% falls during the warm period. The average annual air temperature is - 0.2. The positive average monthly temperature begins from April and is observed until October at all points. The average temperature over the summer months is much lower than many points in the European part of Russia.

Droughts and dry conditions are unfavorable for agriculture. The main grain crop is spring wheat, along with which an appropriate place should be given to the cultivation of barley, oats, peas in relation to corn for silage, annual and perennial grasses, especially legumes, potatoes, root crops and vegetables.

Westerly and south-westerly winds prevail over the territory of the economy. The average annual wind speed is about 3 m / s.

The climate of the territory, where the given economy is located, is conditioned, as sharply continental, with cold long winters and short hot summers. Hail is an unfavorable phenomenon for agriculture. The increase or decrease in the number of hail falls is greatly influenced by hills and mountains, as well as large bodies of water.

Characteristics of crop varieties

Currently, there are about 4 thousand varieties of potatoes in the world. In the Russian State Register of Breeding Achievements, approved for use in production in 2005, 200 varieties of potatoes are presented. Of these, breeders of Russia have created 121 varieties (more than 60%), Belarus. 15, Ukraine. 3, Holland. 25, Germany. 25, UK. 8, Finland. 1st grade. Thus, varieties of domestic selection form the basis of varietal resources in potato growing in Russia and determine the varietal policy in the industry. The agro-climatic conditions of the main regions of Russia in which potatoes are cultivated are characterized by a variety of soil composition and fertility, the amount and uniformity of precipitation during the growing season, the sum of effective temperatures, frost-free period and other factors.These features largely determine the use by potatoes of the bioclimatic potential of the territories, the degree of risk and the level of yield. For most regions and farms, the correct selection of varieties is of practical importance, taking into account the length of the growing season required for their full ripening. Potato varieties are characterized by varying degrees of disease and pest resistance. Almost all varieties included in the State Register are resistant to a dangerous quarantine disease. potato crayfish. The exception is 9 varieties. Volzhanin, Hybrid VK.1, Ermak improved, Kemerovo, Krasnopolsky, Lorkh, Priobsky, Pink from Miletus and Tulunsky. Basically, these are varieties that have long been included in the State Register, as well as Hybrid VK.1. the only cultivar population, consisting of various genotypes, of which approximately 85% are cancer-resistant.

The second dangerous quarantine target for potatoes is the golden potato nematode. Currently, 16 domestic nematode-resistant varieties are included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements: Almaz, Aspiya, Bezhitskiy, Desnitsa, Zhukovskiy early, Zavorovskiy, Kristall, Lira, Lukyanovskiy, Nayada, Pushkinets, Rozhdestvenskiy, Rossiyanka, Shurminskiy. 2, Malinovka, Krepysh. In the regions of potato cultivation under conditions of high temperatures and in dry years, instead of late blight, Alternaria inflicts harm on potatoes. To combat this pathogen, the same means of chemical protection are used, and an important role belongs to relatively resistant varieties. According to the originators of the varieties, these include: Bronnitsky, Bryansk delicacy, Bryansk red, Spring red, Volzhanin, Golubizna, Lina, Lyubava, Master, Nevsky, Nikulinsky, Pobeda, Reserve, Resource, Skazka, Skoroplodny, Slava Bryansk.

Agrotechnical measures for the cultivation of potatoes

Placing a crop in a crop rotation

The crop rotations in which potatoes are grown must include the best of their predecessors. In 5–9 full crop rotations, potatoes can make up 12–50%. The higher the saturation of the potato, the shorter the crop rotation. With good soil cultivation and the correct application of fertilizers, potatoes can produce a good harvest in replantings.

The best predecessors for potatoes are winter breads (where they are traditionally sown), annual grain legumes (peas, vetch, lentils, beans, etc.), according to the layer and turnover of the layer of perennial legumes, annual pea-oat mixtures for hay and green fodder, in areas with insufficient moisture under the potatoes leave clean vapors.

Early potatoes are often cultivated as a steaming plant. In this case, sowing of winter crops should be carried out 15-30 days after harvesting potatoes.

Tillage system

One of the main conditions for high yields of potatoes is the creation of a powerful, loose, well aerated and sufficiently moist arable layer.

The main cultivation of the soil for potatoes is deep, often repeated plowing (to a depth of 25–30 cm). Disc or share peeling is carried out before plowing.

Where there was no stubble sowing, fall plowing is carried out immediately after harvesting the previous crop. In autumn, the soil after autumn plowing should not be very compacted and overgrown with weeds.

In such cases, it is necessary to cultivate the field or do deep cultivation with heavy disk tools. All this contributes to a better accumulation of autumn-winter precipitation. In the dry summer-autumn period, when it is impossible to carry out high-quality autumn plowing of the soil, they are limited to disking, and the plowing is transferred to a more favorable time or deep plowing is carried out.

On a fallow field and early plowing in the fall, ridges are cut with a cultivator with three-tiered dumps. The height of the ridges is 30–35 cm. If they cannot be cut in the fall, they are cut in the spring after the spring harrowing and drying of the soil. The soil is preliminarily loosened to a depth of 20–22 cm, with harrows and furrowing.

On the field, where the ridges are cut, they carry out harrowing, mandrel of the ridges for planting. In the summer, hilling is carried out with an increase in the height of the ridges and until the rows close.

Fertilizer system

The dose of food elements is set according to the formula:

D = Up * H * K1 * K2, where

D is the NPK dose for the planned yield of kg⁄ha.

UP - planned yield, kg / ha;

Н - standard NPK costs per 1 centner of main and by-products, kg;

К1 - coefficient of soil nutrient supply;

K2 - correction factor for moisture content in a meter layer of soil.

DN = 69.8 * 0.5 * 0.8 * 1.2 = 33.5 kg⁄ha

DR2O5 = 69.8 * 0.47 * 0.7 * 1.2 = 27.5 kg⁄ha

Dk2 o = 69.8 * 0.42 * 1.1 * 1.2 = 38.7 kg / ha

For most zones of Russia, the most effective application for potatoes is 20–40 t / ha of manure, and in the northern regions, on cold soils, manure is applied at higher rates of 60–80 t / ha or more.The manure should be well rotted. Of other organic fertilizers, manure-peat and peat-earthen composts with the addition of phosphorus fertilizers or saturation of peat with ammonia water (20-30 liters per 1 ton of peat), with saturation with phosphorus-potassium and micronutrient fertilizers are applied under potatoes.

Potatoes respond well to green manure and green manure fertilizers. The amount of mineral fertilizers depends on the application of organic fertilizers. For example, nitrogen for potatoes is applied without manure, 30–90 kg, and when applying 20–30 t / ha, the dose is reduced to 20–60 kg / ha. Phosphorus fertilizers without manure are applied and when 20 tons of humus are applied, the doses of RK are reduced to 20–60 kg / ha.

The influence of organic fertilizers begins in the second half of the growing season (budding-flowering phase). In the initial period of growth and development, the need for food in potatoes is provided by mineral rather than organic fertilizers. Fertilizer doses vary from geographic location. In the northern zones or areas equated to them, organic and mineral fertilizers are applied in greater quantities than in the southern ones.

With a tuber yield of 40 t / ha and using high fertilizers (more than 120 kg / ha a.i.), the N: P: K ratio should be approximately: northern zones 1: 1.5: 2.0, and in southern zones 1: 1.35: 1.8.

On sod-podzolic soils, boric, zinc and molybdenum micronutrients are applied under potatoes.

Preparing tubers for planting. It is important that the tubers for planting are healthy from diseases, mechanically intact, having the required size and retaining the characteristics of the given variety.

Tubers are sorted in autumn into three fractions: small (up to 50 g), medium (50–80 g) and large (over 80 g). Tubers weighing up to 30-50 g can be used for seeds, but the highest yield is given by tubers 80-100 g.

After additional bulkhead (removal of diseased tubers) and sorting, tubers are wilted in the spring. During this time, the mass of tubers decreases by 10-15%, enzymatic processes are intensified in the tuber, partial greening occurs, which allows you to get early, friendly shoots. At this time, the eyes begin to wake up, but there are no shoots yet, which is very important for mechanized planting.

After withering, germination of tubers begins if manual planting is used. In diffused light, the tubers germinate for 25–30 days at a temperature of 12–15? C. In this case, the length of the sprout should be no more than 15–20 mm. There are other germination methods.

Calculation of the seeding weight

The norm for tubers is calculated by the formula:

Np = Gopt * Msem, where

Нп - planting rate of tubers kg / ha

Gopt - planting density of tubers pcs / ha

B-mass of one tuber, g

Seeding rate for potatoes in the Krasnoyarsk forest-steppe 0.04-0.06 million pcs / ha

Seed preparation for sowing

Tubers are sorted into fractions (small up to 50 g), (average 50–80 g), (large more than 80 g). After sorting, the tubers are pickled, germinated at a temperature of 12-15 C, the length of seedlings for mechanized planting is no more than 25 mm.

Landing

Potatoes are planted when the soil temperature rises to 6-8C. Landing is carried out in a short time. In the southern regions, the tubers are planted in the first half of May, and in the northern regions in the second half of May and finish on June 10.Seed potatoes are planted last.

The semi-ridged surface of an oval shape is obtained when radially curved rails are hooked behind the harrow discs.

In pre-cut ridges, the soil temperature is 2–4? C, therefore, seedlings on the ridges appear 4–6 days earlier.

In terms of the number of stems, commercial crops should be with a density of 180-200 thousand, and seed crops - 220-250 thousand, and up to a maximum of 270 thousand stems per 1 hectare of planting.

Deviations from the established density should not exceed 8%, the planting depth and height of the ridges 2 cm. The uniformity of distribution of tubers in a row is 70%, the number of omissions is not more than 3, "kopecks" (2 tubers in a nest) - small fraction 8%, large 1% ...

Harvesting activities

Harvesting of seed plantings begins at the end of the third decade of August, when the daytime air temperature does not drop below 7–80C. The maximum amount of seed fraction is formed in plants 20 days after the end of flowering. Preliminary, 14-15 days before harvesting, you can desiccate plants with magnesium chlorate, copper sulfate, calcium chloride chlorate or Reglon 5-7 days before harvesting by ground or by aviation. The best results are obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical methods, when the tops are removed mechanically after drying them with desiccants.Depending on the weather, separate, combined harvesting methods or direct combining are used. Potatoes are harvested using serial diggers UKV-2 KSG - 1.4 A or combines KKU-2, KKU-2A. On light soils, the KPK-3 three-row harvester shows good results, which, in comparison with the KKU-2 harvester, allows increasing labor productivity by 68.7%, reducing fuel consumption by 8%, labor costs by 40.7% and operating costs by 22% ... It is economically feasible to carry out work on harvesting potatoes in a group way using harvesting and transport complexes, when 3-4 harvesters are working in the corral.

The harvesting of potatoes should be finished no later than September 20–25, since with late harvesting it is hypothermic, poorly stored and suitable only for current consumption.

The spread of diseases in lots of seed potatoes is determined by the method of tuber analysis according to GOST 11856-66. Seed lots in the presence of diseases affected by tubers in them (except for wet rot) no more than 5% and soil impurities up to 20% are stored without sorting in order to avoid their unnecessary injury and re-infection. If the number of diseased tubers and impurities in the potato heap exceeds these norms, the potatoes are placed on ventilated areas, under a canopy, in storages, and after 10-15 days a bulkhead and sorting is organized.

Batches of potatoes infected with late blight, bacterial diseases or with a large number of mechanically damaged tubers should be pickled with formalin after they were laid for storage. To do this, in storage facilities with active ventilation, a solution of 40% w.r. formaldehyde at a dose of 2-3 ml / t is placed in the central air duct or next to the suction nozzle of the fan and fumigated for 6 hours. After one - one and a half months, it can be used for food purposes. Potatoes should be stored in storage facilities with active ventilation at an air flow rate of at least 100–120 m3 / h.

One month before laying the harvest for storage, containers and equipment are disinfected with a formalin solution (1 liter of 40% bw for 39 liters of water for 100–150 m2 of surface). 12-15 days before loading, the storage is whitewashed with freshly slaked lime with the addition of copper sulfate.

When loading the storage, the drop height of tubers should not exceed 30–40 cm, and the TZK-30 boom must be constantly moved in a horizontal direction. For standard potatoes, the height of the embankment can be made up to 3-4 m. The larger and cleaner the tubers, the higher they can be poured. Non-standard tubers and with a large admixture of soil should not be covered above 1.5–2.5 m.

Batches of potatoes harvested in rainy weather must be ventilated for 1-2 days with outside air immediately after laying until the droplet moisture is completely removed. The heap is ventilated around the clock. If the outside air does not provide drying, then it is heated to 12-15 ° C at a relative humidity of 80-90%. The exhaust fans must work constantly, which contributes to the healing of mechanical damage to the tubers.

If potato batches contain diseased tubers, especially those affected by late blight, then during the treatment period it is advisable to have a temperature not higher than 11–13 ° C. Cooling is carried out at night with outside air, the temperature of which is 2–50C lower than in the embankment. At negative temperatures of the outside air, it is mixed with the inside, while the temperature should not be lower than +0.5 ° C.In a healthy heap, the temperature is reduced in 40–45 days; in a heap with diseased tubers, this period is reduced to 15–20 days.

Potatoes are stored at a temperature of 2-3 ° C with a relative humidity of 85-90%. It is most difficult to preserve potatoes in the spring in March, when bud germination begins. For their premature germination in the night and morning cold hours, the heap is ventilated with outside air.

You can grow potatoes in Siberia. Get a high yield - too. Yes, this is a region of risky farming, but risk is a noble cause.

The best potato varieties in Siberia

Siberia is a region with a sharply continental climate. There are long winters, short summers, frost in spring, heavy rainfall in late summer and early autumn. Not the most favorable conditions for growing potatoes. Nevertheless, it is the most common vegetable among gardeners. They are constantly trying new methods, looking for new varieties and achieving good results.

For cultivation in Siberian conditions, a zoned variety is suitable, with good resistance to adverse weather conditions.

Gardeners are guided primarily by the potato yield indicator.

The most productive for Siberia

Harvest Siberian varieties - photo

It must be understood that the maximum yields of these varieties can be achieved only if all technological processes are followed and good care is taken.

For growing potatoes in Siberia, it is very important to get the harvest as early as possible, before the onset of cold weather. Therefore, preference is given to early (80–90 days) and medium early (100–115 days) varieties. Late ones (120-135 days) are not grown in this region - they will not have time to ripen.

The earliest

Early - photo gallery

Early varieties are good because they give a harvest earlier than various potato diseases begin to develop. But their disadvantage is that they are poorly stored, therefore, for long-term storage, you need to choose medium-late varieties. The longer a potato grows, the higher its yield and flavor characteristics.

Frost-resistant elite

Some elite potato varieties that stand out against the general background not only in color, but also in their early ripening period (60–75 days) and, which is very important, frost resistance, can be safely attributed to the best ones for growing in Siberia.

Cranberry Red (Cranberry Red) - oval red tubers have a pleasant aroma and delicate taste. Potato pulp - with pink tints, does not change color during heat treatment. The tubers are smooth with almost no eyes. Used in any form. The variety is resistant to cold weather.

Crenbury Red is cold resistant

Huckleberry Gold (Huckleberry Gold) is distinguished by lilac fruits with a soft creamy pulp. The taste is peculiar. Only suitable for frying and mashed potatoes. Frost-resistant variety.

Hucklebury Gold - frost-resistant potato variety

Huckleberry is an old known super-elite variety of Canadian breeders, also known as Red Cranberry. The dream of many gardeners with dark red smooth fruits that do not change color during heat treatment. Due to its cold resistance, it is grown in Siberia, the Moscow region and the Urals.

Hucklebury - the dream of the gardeners of the Urals and Siberia

These varieties were bred for cultivation in Alaska, therefore, they are suitable for Siberia.

Landing

Planting potatoes in Siberia usually begins in May. In Western Siberia - at the beginning, and in Eastern Siberia - in the middle of the month. This is due to the fact that the climate in the western part is slightly milder. Here, delaying the planting of potatoes for one or two weeks, you risk half of the harvest. Therefore, you need to plant on time. Someone is guided by folk signs - they are waiting for the buds to bloom on the trees. Someone is checking the lunar calendar. But the most important and correct landmark is the soil warmed up at a depth of 10 cm up to +9 degrees.

Growing

Growing potatoes consists of the same stages as in other regions: choosing a place for planting, preparing the soil, preparing seed material, planting, leaving, harvesting.

For growing potatoes, a sunny, level place is definitely determined, without freely walking drafts. It is best if cabbage, carrots or cucumbers grew on the site before it. It is not recommended to grow potatoes in the same place for several years.

The soil is prepared in the fall - fertilizers are applied for digging: manure, peat, humus or mineral fertilizers. In the spring, the soil is fertilized again, dug up and potato planting begins. In Siberia, only sprouted tubers should be planted. To do this, in the spring, at the end of March - early April, the tubers are taken out of storage, the largest and healthiest ones are selected, and they begin to prepare them for planting. For two weeks they are kept in a bright, warm room (+18 degrees), laid out on a flat surface in one layer, periodically turning them over. Then they are transferred to boxes covered with newspaper and kept until sowing in a well-lit warm place (+15 degrees). Thus, by the beginning of May, the tubers will already have strong sprouts. The process of warming up and germinating potatoes usually takes about a month.

It is best to plant several varieties at the same time: different ripening periods and different taste characteristics - you never know which variety will give a good harvest this year.

There are several ways of planting potatoes:

  • traditional - rows are made at a distance of 70 cm from each other, in a row the distance between tubers is 30 cm. When hilling, the root system of the plant is damaged.
  • tape - there is an alternation: 2 rows at a distance of 30 cm, then two rows at a distance of 110 cm from each other. Very good reviews from gardeners.
  • ridge - tubers are laid in formed ridges about 30 cm high at a distance of 30 cm from each other. The distance between rows with ridges is 70–90 cm. Suitable for areas with high humidity and areas with high groundwater. On dry soils, potatoes in the ridges often die.

Potatoes are planted only in warm soil.

The basic rules for planting and caring for potatoes are simple:

  1. The planting depth of potatoes varies from 6 to 15 cm, depending on the type of soil and the size of the tubers.
  2. To obtain high yields, it is important to observe the planting scheme - 30 * 65 cm. With more frequent plantings, the plants interfere with each other and form tubers poorly.
  3. Fertilizers are applied to the hole in the form of ash, onion or garlic husks.
  4. To get rid of weeds, you need to loosen the soil twice: before the first shoots appear and when the plants rise 15 cm.
  5. Water the potatoes at least three times during the entire growing period: immediately, after germination, at the beginning and at the end of flowering.
  6. Drying of the tops is a sign of the ripeness of the potato. Two weeks before harvesting, the tops are mowed, thereby allowing the tubers to ripen and the skin to thicken.

How to get a high yield

You can get a high yield of potatoes in Siberia in different ways.

Growing in a greenhouse

For cultivation in a greenhouse, tubers begin to be prepared as early as November. When sprouts appear, the potatoes are transferred to boxes with wet sawdust or peat, and taken out to a heated greenhouse. When the time comes for planting, the tubers will already have strong sprouts and roots. The holes are dug according to the scheme 70 * 25 cm, 8 cm deep. A layer of peat or humus must be laid on the bottom, tubers on top, and all this is sprinkled with a layer of earth. There is no need to water the plantings, otherwise you will create an excess of moisture and the tubers will rot. When seedlings appear and the soil dries up, then you can water the potatoes for the first time. During the period of growth, flowering and formation of tubers, the humidity in the greenhouse should be at least 80-100 percent. The air temperature must be maintained at about +23 degrees. During the period of mass formation of tubers, it should be slightly lowered to +19 degrees. The yield in the greenhouse reaches 350 kg per hundred square meters, and it is not exposed to diseases and pest attacks. Ideal for growing potatoes.

A greenhouse is an ideal place for growing potatoes

Greenhouse

If your greenhouse is occupied by tomatoes, cucumbers or other crops, and there is absolutely no room for potatoes in it, creating a greenhouse will help you. Plant the potatoes in the beds, set the arches, stretch the film, pressing it to the ground and the greenhouse is ready. The film retains heat well, but does not allow air to pass through. Therefore, in good weather, it will need to be opened for airing, weeding, watering and feeding the plants. The greenhouse must be closed at night. Thanks to the created conditions, you will get the harvest ahead of time.

The greenhouse retains heat well

High beds

Since the soil in Siberia heats up for a very long time, you can apply the method of growing potatoes in high beds. Since autumn, they are formed with a height of about half a meter with the help of hay, soil and manure. In these beds, potatoes can be planted earlier than in open ground for two weeks. To accelerate the heating of the soil, the following method is often used: spill with abundant hot water and cover with a film. After the ground warms up, tubers are laid in it. It is better to cover planting before the frost leaves.

Tall beds allow you to plant potatoes earlier

Chinese method

The essence of the Chinese method is as follows: in the fall, you need to dig a trench 50 cm deep, make three holes 70 * 70 cm in it, about half a meter deep, at a distance of 25 cm from each other. At the bottom of the pit, organic matter is placed in the form of grass, leaves, food waste, hay, and ash (2-3 glasses) is added.

In the spring, when the soil warms up to +7 degrees, half a bucket of humus is poured onto the bottom of each pit, three potatoes are laid and sprinkled with 10 cm of earth. Before planting, the potatoes are prepared: a cross-section is made in the middle of the tuber, so that an untouched jumper 1 cm wide remains in the center. The plantings look like a trench with mounds that must be mulched with straw.

As the potatoes grow, it will be necessary to periodically fill up the soil and fertilize with bird droppings diluted in water, in a ratio of 20: 1, respectively. Water the trenches - as the soil dries up, during hot periods - at least 1 time per week.

When the trench is completely filled with earth, you need to let the plant rise to a height of 30 cm, then bend it to the ground, dig in and tear off the lower leaves. As they grow, the bushes continue to be covered with earth and sprayed, the flowers are removed.

When planting potatoes at the end of April, in July, you can harvest the first crop: up to 16 tubers weighing 1.7 kg from one mound. By autumn, the yield rises to 24 kg from one planted tuber.

Any potato variety suitable for your soil type and climatic conditions is suitable for growing. According to gardeners' reviews, varieties such as Karatop, Lyubava, Rosara, Scarlet have shown themselves well.

Under the straw

Recently, the method of growing potatoes under straw has been widely advertised. There are two planting options: potatoes are buried in the ground or laid on the surface of the ground, and covered with a 20 cm layer of straw or hay on top. It is believed that this method is suitable for lazy people, since it does not require special care.
