The best varieties of potatoes for growing in Russia. New varieties of potatoes for the middle lane

It is difficult to imagine a garden without potatoes, because this is one of the most unpretentious and productive crops. According to the State Register of Breeding Achievements, more than 200 varieties are suitable for growing in the central regions of our country. Especially among them stand out the most fruitful, tasty and resistant to disease.

What varieties of potatoes are chosen in central Russia

It is good to have potatoes with different ripening periods in your beds. This will allow you to resist some seasonal diseases and pests, and most importantly, you can feast on young potatoes until autumn. It is worth remembering that depending on the variety, potatoes are stored differently, while varietal characteristics may change.

More than three dozen table varieties with different characteristics (yield, weight of one tuber, starch content, keeping quality) have high expert assessments.

Yield - the total volume of production obtained by growing a particular crop.

Starch (carbohydrate content) - a qualitative characteristic of potatoes, high performance which indicate a higher density of tuber pulp and friability during heat treatment. Such potatoes are more fragrant, high-calorie and have a rich taste, more suitable for stewing, baking, mashed potatoes (starch more than 20%).

Keeping quality - characterizes the ability of the crop to maintain its quality characteristics within a certain time.

Very often, summer residents choose potatoes for planting according to the size and color of the tuber, highlighting the most starchy and early ripening varieties. But among the huge assortment there are representatives with different ripening periods, which, among other things, are distinguished by strong immunity, are well stored and have excellent taste.

Not all gardeners have enough land to plant the necessary vegetables. Therefore, the question arises of finding the ideal variety that will grow well. AT summary we will tell you which varieties of potatoes are best for the Middle Strip and the intricacies of their planting.

For the Middle lane, special varieties of potatoes are provided

How to choose

Growing potatoes in different climatic zones has its own difference, so the southern varieties will never become fruitful in colder latitudes. The middle lane is called the European part of Russia, which has its own specific subtleties.

The temperate continental climate is characterized by snowy, frosty winters and wet summers. During the warm period, a lot of precipitation falls in the form of non-cold showers. Average temperature:

• winter from - 10;
• summer up to +24.

Therefore, choosing best grade potatoes for planting, it is worth considering all the nuances. Excess moisture has Negative influence on the roots and becomes the cause of diseases, infections. vegetable culture should have time to form and ripen before the onset of cold weather, therefore late species unsuitable. There are varieties:

• early ones are used within a few weeks after being removed from the soil and are not suitable for long-term storage;
• mid-early can be saved only in specially equipped cool rooms with a constant temperature;
• mid-season grow well in the Middle lane and are stored without problems;
• late - do not ripen in this climatic zone.

The most popular varieties

Russian and foreign breeders have developed many varieties that grow well in the Middle lane. The characteristics of potatoes that the gardener liked are manifested with proper planting and timely care.

Bellarosa is a favorite variety of farmers, differs rapid maturation(50 days of vegetation) and excellent taste. The plant is not demanding on the quality and acidity of the soil, drought-resistant. Thanks to selection, potatoes are resistant to diseases and infections. Oval tubers are covered with a rough pink skin. At proper care up to 1.5 kg of root crops are removed from one bush.

Variety Luck - early ripe, has excellent taste qualities. The plant is adapted to the conditions of the Middle Strip and pleases gardeners with a high yield. Potatoes are resistant to low temperatures and drought. Large tubers with snow-white, friable pulp. There are very few eyes.

High yields and disease resistance have made the German mid-season variety Adretta gained popularity among Russian farmers. Western breeders have bred a plant that has excellent immunity and quickly regenerates. Ripening - from 2 to 3 months from the beginning of planting. Potatoes are not afraid of climatic changes. Used for long term storage. oval tubers with yellow flesh delight with excellent taste.

Bellarosa potato is a popular early ripening variety.

Of the late varieties, we note Kiwi, which is almost not attacked by pests (Colorado potato beetle, wireworms). Good immunity protects root crops from infectious diseases. A characteristic feature is the round shape of the potato with a mesh, rough skin. Not demanding to care. Productivity - over 400 kg per 1 hectare.

If you want to get the maximum productivity from your site, then do not skimp on planting material- Purchase elite varieties from trusted breeders. Climatic conditions and temperature changes do not affect them.

Red Scarlet is a Dutch hybrid that matures in 2.5 months. It is distinguished by a bright red skin and small eyes on the tuber. The tasty pulp is used by fast food manufacturers. The variety is resistant to diseases and infections. It requires minimal pest control. High yield - up to 400 kg per 1 hectare.

Red scarlet applied to french fries

Another copy Dutch selection – mid-early variety Romano. Ripening occurs in 2.5-3 months. Round tubers with light pink skin. The pulp contains a huge amount of starch, so it has excellent taste and boils quickly. Up to 1 kg of root crops are removed from each bush. It is not afraid of mechanical damage and is easily transported. Like all Dutch, it is resistant to diseases and pests.

Among the Russian elite varieties for the Middle Strip, I would like to note Zhukovsky early. A unique potato that has excellent taste characteristics. Productivity - up to 1.5 kg per bush. The plant does not require special care: it has a stable immunity to diseases and pests.

A bush of ordinary healthy potatoes gives up to 1 kg of tubers, and the elite - 2.5-3 kg. And this is in bad weather and without the use of intensive technology.

Landing and care

The return of a potato variety depends on proper planting. Even if you do not have the funds to purchase elite seed, you will reap a rich harvest from ordinary tubers. Remember: you can’t plant root crops in the same area for two or three years in a row. As a result, you will get a degenerate unproductive variety with a set of diseases. Farmers are advised to alternate planting with other vegetables.

Before planting, germinate and warm the seed in the sun at a temperature of +15 degrees. In three days, the tubers will germinate and become suitable for planting. It is recommended to treat the potatoes with disinfectants to protect them from pests and diseases.

In the Middle Lane, work should begin only when the soil warms up to +12 degrees. The indicators are a warm night temperature - not lower than +15. In early May, potatoes are planted in the ground. If night frosts are expected, then early shoots are covered with a film.

Irrigation of the plantation in the Middle lane occurs naturally - by rain. Watering and fertilizing in this climate zone is needed only in three cases:

• the appearance of sprouts;
• budding;
• after flowering.

Dried tops signal the start of the harvest. The second half of August or the beginning of September - the best time for works. Choose dry, clear weather. Then the potatoes will last a long time and will not hurt. The recommended temperature is +3. Remember: when stored in sunlight, the tubers turn green and become poisonous.

We examined popular varieties that grow well in the Middle lane. Correct fit and care will help grow a rich root crop. Do not save on seed and buy quality raw materials.

One of traditional products in any kitchen - potatoes. We are accustomed to consider it the basis own kitchen, without even remembering the homeland of the vegetable - America. Foreign potatoes have taken root in Russia so much that they are grown everywhere, including in the middle lane.

Classification of potato varieties

Even summer residents-debutants know about the existence of four categories, according to the maturity of potatoes:

• early - used only for summer eating;
• medium early - stored for a short time in cold rooms;
• mid-season - stored for a long time, but quickly begin to "bloom";
• late-ripening - long stored.

For planting, several varieties of potatoes are used instead of one. Then the probability of earlier ripening of part of the crop increases.

For those who prefer potatoes with yellow flesh, you should pay attention to foreign early varieties:

• Dutch - Mona Lisa, Desiree, Fresco;
• German - Cardena, Caraton, Alvara, Rosara, Feloks;
• Finnish - Satu, Asterix, Ostara, Vital.

The above varieties have a high yield, but do not guarantee record harvest(for 500-800 centners per hectare). For such indicators, make an effort: provide favorable conditions for growth.

The taste of potatoes depends not only on the variety, but also on other factors. For example, a lack of moisture will lead to the fact that the skin of the tubers will become much thicker, the flesh will be harder. Ideally, when the tubers are well boiled, soft and do not form lumps in the process heat treatment. Therefore, some varieties of potatoes need additional watering.

Yulia Petrichenko, expert

Farmers are advised not to start planting until the warm weather is stable - temperature changes adversely affect flowering and growth of green mass. When the temperature rises to +8 degrees, tubers sprout and, along with them, tops. But if frosts occur during the growth process and the temperature drops below zero, then the potato tops will die. The best temperature for growth and flowering is 17-23 degrees. AT hot weather tuber growth stops.

To receive early harvest choose tubers that do not have a fungus (aka ergot or sclerotium), rhizoctonia (small, black spots). Otherwise, you risk being left with a poor harvest.

Experienced farmers especially highlight the Dutch early varieties Anost and Fresco for planting. They are suitable for making chips and frying, and the tubers are yellow.

Features of growing potatoes in central Russia

It should be noted that potatoes are prone to diseases, therefore, experienced agronomists advise using several varieties for planting them in different climatic zones.

Dig early tubers 50 days after first shoots. And even earlier - if potatoes grow in greenhouses. Start harvesting if the bushes begin to fade and the leaves begin to wilt. Dig up one bush to check. If the tubers have grown to 3-6 cm in diameter, the crop can be harvested if you are targeting young potatoes. tubers for winter storage leave until August-September - during this time they will grow a little more.

Seed material for central Russia should be purchased in the northern regions. Tubers from the southern regions are not suitable for planting - there is material Low quality. Potatoes have one more feature - not a single species gives a high yield for several years in a row. And after 10 years, any variety degenerates. The highest productivity is achieved in the first 2-3 years.

Features of the climate of the middle zone

Climatic conditions of central Russia:

• the average temperature in winter is from -8 to -12 °С, in summer from +17 to +21 °С;
• there are practically no sharp frosts or hot heat - the winter is mild, the summer is humid;
• the duration of the warm period depends on the region of the Russian Federation, on average it is the end of May - mid-September;
• the amount of precipitation per year ranges from 500 to 750 mm, the rains are short, torrential;
• preparation for the summer season begins in February, maximum - mid-March (seed material is selected and prepared);
• the length of daylight hours from April to May is from 14:30 to 15:20, in summer - from 17:00 to 17:30.
• peat and podzolic soils predominate in the soil, which, with high moisture content, can form swampy areas, especially in summer. Distinctive feature soils - abundant waterlogging, so the main concern of the gardener is not fertilizing the earth, but the fight against excess moisture in the soil, which prevents plants from growing normally.

These climatic conditions make it possible to obtain high-quality potatoes in the amount of 100-600 centners per 1 hectare. The final indicators most of all depend on the type of plant. At special care it is possible to increase the yield by another 20-70 centners per hectare. The lowest yield is given by the earliest varieties, the optimum - medium-early.

Today, more than 290 high-yielding species have been registered, among which you can choose the most suitable for the growing region. The taste of potatoes is also different. For example, tubers that do not fall apart when cooked are suitable for salads, but vice versa for mashed potatoes.

Potatoes are very loved in our country and are grown in almost every area. With the variety available, it's easy to pick a variety to your liking, no matter where you live. For cultivation only in the middle lane, several dozen varieties of potatoes have been adapted.

Potato varieties for growing in central Russia

Many varieties of potatoes are suitable for cultivation in central Russia. On personal land plots use early and mid-season varieties. Late varieties of this vegetable are usually grown by farmers on an industrial scale.

Due to the special weather conditions and the specifics of the soil cover, potatoes grown in central Russia are much tastier than those grown in the south.

Features of early ripening varieties

Potatoes that ripen quickly are best grown on southern slopes, where there is more heat and light. Light, slightly loamy, cultivated soils with a high content of organic matter are suitable for its cultivation.

For the best harvest of early potatoes, choose southern slopes with cultivated soils

In early varieties, tubers begin to form even before flowering, and they are harvested until full ripeness, when the tops are still green.

Early ripe varieties are divided into three groups:

• medium early - it takes about 70–90 days to ripen the crop (Odyssey, Visa, Russian souvenir, Sineglazka);
• early hybrids - potatoes are harvested 60–70 days after the first shoots appear (Gala, Isora, Ariel, Riviera);
• ultra-early - you can harvest after 40-50 days (Zhukovsky, Timo, Red Scarlet, Impala, Bellarosa).

Experienced gardeners it is advised to plant several varieties at the same time, so you will definitely harvest, regardless of weather conditions. But it is stored poorly, so they don’t make stocks, but use it right away.

Early varieties of potatoes are practically not affected by the Colorado potato beetle and do not need to be treated with chemicals.

Mid-season potato varieties

Considering the climatic conditions of the central part of our country, here it is better to take mid-season potato varieties for cultivation. They ripen in 80–100 days, tolerate lack of moisture and low temperatures well, and store well. To grow a rich harvest, you need to apply fertilizers in a timely manner.

The soil for mid-season potato varieties should be well fertilized.

The best precursors for potatoes are green manure, cucumbers, legumes, cabbage, carrots, beets, garlic and onions. It is not recommended to plant a crop after sunflower, tomatoes and other nightshades.

The best late-ripening varieties for central Russia

Late-ripening varieties ripen 110–140 days after planting. Due to the climatic features of central Russia, cultivation is advisable only in the southernmost regions.

Well-sprouted tubers of late-ripening varieties are planted in the ground.

Late ripe potatoes contain a large number of dry matter (on average: starch - 70%, fiber - 7, ash - 5 and protein - 10%) and carbohydrates. This improves its taste. In addition, such varieties are usually more productive than early and mid-season varieties, and are excellently stored for a long time.
