Variety of potato varieties
The cultivation of early potato varieties provides the population with this product already in the first half of summer. Such tubers contain a large amount of vitamin C. These potatoes are recommended to be eaten with their skins on. Longer ripening varieties produce the majority of the potato harvest. These tubers contain a large amount of dry matter, protein and starch.
In order not to make a mistake when choosing a potato variety, it is necessary to study the soil climatic conditions places for crop germination. There are varieties that germinate well in dry sandy soils, others - only in fertilized, strong soils. Your results for the winter will depend on the correct choice of variety. Early varieties have a worse shelf life in winter; they are grown as a “delicacy” for the summer. For late varieties, it is necessary to prepare not only the soil, but also storage conditions. But when proper cultivation late varieties and compliance with all agrotechnical requirements - you will get the highest yield from them with long-term storage if all conditions are met.
| more about potato |
It will not be possible to accurately tell about the varietal identity of the potato, which is called “Dutch”. Since in the 80s - 90s of the last century a lot of planting material was imported without any specific accounting. Therefore, we agreed to name all varieties according to their place of origin - “Dutch”, “American”.
Popular potato varieties:
Description of potato variety
This variety includes the following types of potatoes:
- "Mona Lisa"– a mid-early variety, up to 2 kg can be harvested from one bush. Tubers are elongated oval, yellowish flesh;

We must not forget about traditional pests that are not averse to eating potatoes.
Characteristics of potato varieties: American, Latona, Svitanok Kyiv, Molly:
Harvest
First, the area should be cleared of tops and weeds. Then they carefully dig up each bush with a shovel, clear the tubers from the soil and sort them. This method is good for small gardens, but if the land area is large enough, then they resort to the help of special diggers and tractors.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with potato varieties that have different ripening periods:
Dutch potato varieties
In recent years, many domestic potato growers have become interested in Dutch potato varieties. And this is not without reason. Varied, good varieties, virus-free planting material and modern highly effective technologies are the main factors of stable high yields potatoes in the Netherlands. On average, 400 centners of tubers are obtained here per 1 hectare, and 160 thousand hectares are occupied by potatoes in this country.
What are Dutch potato varieties, and what is valuable about them?
First of all, these are high-quality table varieties, but a significant part of them is also intended for processing into semi-finished and finished products. In terms of ripening, the majority of varieties belong to the mid-early and mid-ripening group with intensive initial development of tops and relatively early tuberization. Late ripening varieties have a very limited distribution.
Almost all varieties cultivated in Holland are characterized by exceptionally cultivated, well-leveled nests, regular tuber shapes (oval, round-oval or elongated-oval), very attractive appearance, shallow or almost superficial eyes.
When using highly effective modern technologies Usually all Dutch varieties are capable of providing high yields. In terms of the dry matter content in tubers, the differences between varieties are very significant: from a very high level to a very low level.
Among the immunological characteristics, special attention is paid to high degree resistance of a number of varieties to viruses “Z” and “Y”, which cause the most severe forms of diseases: curling of potato leaves, striped and wrinkled mosaics.
The tops of most Dutch varieties are moderately or even severely affected by late blight, which requires repeated treatments with fungicides during the growing season. At the same time, many varieties have tubers that are highly resistant to this disease, which helps maintain good quality potatoes during storage. Important distinctive feature many Dutch varieties are resistant to various pathotypes of potato nematode and cancer, and some are resistant to common scab.
Of particular importance is the reaction of potato plants to various growing conditions. It is quite natural that the climatic conditions of Holland, where these varieties were bred, are most favorable for their cultivation, which is especially facilitated by long daylight hours (15-16 hours), sufficient humidity and moderate daytime temperatures during the growing season (15-25°). However, many of the Dutch varieties, in comparative tests, show good results and in other climatic conditions with shorter daylight hours or more high temperatures. Some varieties can even tolerate drought, so they can be cultivated in countries with drier and hotter summers. However, depending on growing conditions, some characteristics of varieties can change significantly. For example, with short daylight hours, earlier ripening is observed, and often the variety may be more susceptible to late blight, etc.
In each specific case, special testing and evaluation of varieties is required, taking into account the possibility of their adaptation to certain growing conditions.
In our work, carried out at the Biotechnological Center of the Potato Research Institute, the best results were shown by new Dutch potato varieties: Prior, Sante, Eba, Romano, Estima, Condor, Agria, etc. Below are their main features and economically valuable traits.
Prior
. A very early variety with yellow-colored tuber skin. Resistant to potato nematode. Relatively resistant to viral diseases. Moderately affected by late blight on leaves, more resistant to tubers.
Sante . Mid-early variety. The tubers are oval in shape with numerous small eyes, yellow skin and yellow flesh. The tubers are well aligned in shape and size. They have high taste, contain a lot of dry matter, and are suitable for processing. The first variety registered in the Netherlands with complex virus resistance. Resistance to late blight is higher than average on tops and higher on tubers. Resistant to some types of nematodes. Forms a high yield. In a preliminary field test on sandy soils (Aparikha village) in 1990, the tuber yield was 441 kg per 100 m2. Based on the results of the test, the variety was nominated for regionalization in Belarus.
Eba . Mid-late variety with yellow tuber peels and yellow pulp. It has good taste, is suitable for the production of chips and fries, and can be stored well. Resistant to viral diseases even with simple reproduction. Suitable for growing on sandy and light soils.
Romano . Mid-early variety. The tubers are round-oval and regular in shape with shallow eyes, red skin and creamy-white flesh. The tops develop quickly and tolerate drought well. The variety is resistant to leaf blight and highly resistant to tubers. It is also resistant to viral diseases.
Romano is suitable for growing in various soils; the tubers have a strong skin and are not damaged during harvesting. The taste is good, suitable for the production of fries. This variety is widespread in many countries and is becoming increasingly popular. There are practically no small tubers in the harvest.
Estima . New fast-spreading variety showing remarkable results in various countries. Mid-early, high-yielding, resistant to viral diseases. The tubers are large, uniform in shape and size, with very superficial eyes and pale yellow flesh. In preliminary tests on sandy soils (Aparikha settlement) in 1990, the yield was over 300 kg per 100 m2.
Condor . Mid-early variety. The tubers are large, elongated-oval, with superficial eyes, red skin and creamy-yellow flesh. The variety provides high yield on any type of soil with a significant yield of large tubers, which are well stored and have excellent taste.
The tops are fast-growing, with strong, thick stems and good foliage. Resistant to viral diseases and scab. Dutch experts characterize it as a new world variety with red-skinned tubers. In field tests it provided fairly stable and high level productivity.
Agria
. Mid-early variety. The tubers are elongated oval in shape, with superficial eyes and yellow flesh. Resistant to potato nematode. Relatively resistant to late blight.
Dutch experts characterize Agria as new, promising, very high-yielding variety with highly proportional large tubers, good dry matter content, suitable for industrial processing.
In preliminary tests, the yield reached 250-300 kg per 100 m2.

(Homestead farming No. 3, 1992)
The Dutch potato variety that has taken root in our gardens is different:
- high productivity,
- early stages of tuber formation and crop ripening,
- leveled nest,
- excellent presentation of tubers with small eyes,
- resistance to viral diseases.
These are mainly high-quality varieties for table use.
Important! Most varieties of Dutch selection are grown in Europe for the industrial preparation of semi-finished and finished products.
More than 30 varieties of potatoes from the Netherlands have passed varietal tests at state varietal sites, are included in the State Register of the Russian Federation, and are recommended for cultivation in individual regions in personal and farm households.
The most famous:“Mona Lisa”, “Asterix”, “Jarla”, “Red Scarlett”, “Ukama”, “Cleopatra”, “Impala”, “Anosta”, “Condor”, “Picasso”, “Provento”, “Caesar”, as well as White Dutch potatoes.

Symphony
Refers to mid-early. The tubers are even, smooth, and clean when dug up. High yields on all types of soil. Resistant to late blight and scab.
Features of agricultural technology
In Russia, potatoes grown using the widely advertised Dutch technology do not produce high yields. Therefore, the usual growing algorithm for our climate is followed.
Dutch varieties are prone to degeneration and require regular renewal of planting material. It is not recommended to plant in one place for more than three years.
Important! Manufacturers and trade offer expensive elite material in the form of tubers and seeds.
Tubers purchased from small agricultural firms and hobbyists, as a rule, are the result of crossing different varieties and do not have the disease resistance and yield stability inherent in the Dutch.
Even elite material is pre- treated with growth stimulants(phytostim, epin, krezacin), are subjected to disinfection, germination (vernalization), calcination or coring.
In early and mid-early varieties, a temperature of +3.5ºС is enough for sprouts to germinate; roots need + 4.5ºС. Tubers that have undergone vernalization are also planted at lower temperatures of +2-3ºС.
To improve aerobic properties, saturation nutrients the soil is dug up twice - late autumn and spring. During autumn processing cut deep furrows, which are loosened with a fork before spring planting without turning over the top layer. A distance of 70-80 cm is left between the rows.
“Dutch” is planted at the rate of 4-6 tubers per linear meter. Before planting, the tubers are sorted by size. The larger the potato, the greater the distance between them should be.
Planting depth is from 5 to 12 cm, depending on the size of the planting material and climate. The drier and hotter the climate, the deeper the hole should be.
If there is a threat of frost, seedlings below 10 cm are earthed up, completely covered with a layer of 2-3 cm of soil.
Further care consists of timely weeding, hilling, watering, and fertilizing, depending on the characteristics of a particular variety.
Despite the high potential of Dutch varieties, their popularity among farmers and gardening enthusiasts is declining. Without constant improvement and regular supplies of seed material from Europe, the Dutch potato variety quickly loses its taste. Potato yields and their economic value are reduced.
Every gardener wants to grow the best variety of potatoes on his plot. But choosing it from the four hundred available is not an easy task.

- preferences for one or another type of soil and climatic conditions;
- speed of fruit formation;
- care requirements;
- resistance to various diseases and pests;
- endurance in weather conditions unfavorable for potatoes;
- taste and external attractiveness of tubers.
There are many varieties of potatoes, certainly good and worthy of our attention. Let's look at the most popular of them.
Early, middle, late - which is better?
Let's start with the fact that potatoes are divided into 4 types according to the speed of ripening:
- early (60–80 days);
- mid-early (80–90 days);
- mid-season (90–110 days);
- late ripening (110–120 days).
Early varieties form tubers faster and, accordingly, gardeners get their harvest earlier. The disadvantage of this type of potato can be confidently attributed to poor keeping quality: during storage, the fruits begin to deteriorate very quickly. Therefore, early potatoes are grown exclusively in small quantities, and after digging them up, they are immediately prepared for food.

The best seed potatoes
Sowing seed potatoes is your investment. How competently and responsibly you approach it, the richer the harvest will be. For one hundred square meters you will need about 20–30 kg of planting material. Sprouted and large tubers cut in half are acceptable for planting.
The best among the seeds are Carlena, Romanze, Vega. They have a high yield (350–500 kg), excellent taste and unpretentiousness in cultivation.
Soil types and varieties
Speaking about the types of soil for potatoes, we can confidently say that the most preferable for growing them is fertile black soil. Any plants grow and bear fruit wonderfully on it.
Sandy soils
Sandy soil has a lot of disadvantages that complicate the life of plants and increase the labor costs of gardeners. It heats up and cools quickly, practically does not retain moisture (plants require more frequent watering), there are practically no microorganisms in it (peat, humus or compost must be added), water washes out all the beneficial substances from the sand (feeding should be applied in mineral forms). Only a drought-resistant potato variety can grow in it.
Drought-resistant varieties
| variety name | ripening period (in days) | productivity (from one hundred square meters) | characteristic |
| 70–80 | 300–350 kg | Drought-resistant variety with low immunity to diseases. Beige tubers weighing 100-116 grams, tasty. | |
| 65–75 | 400–450 kg | Stable yield even in regions unfavorable for potatoes. Grows in heat and drought. Not exposed to viruses and pests. Plants easily recover from damage from hail or frost. The fruits are yellow, oval, slightly tapering towards the base, weighing 60–150 grams. Excellent taste characteristics. High starch content. | |
| 80–100 | 100–150 kg | Resistant to hot climates. It is completely unaffected by the Colorado potato beetle. It is stored for a long time and is well transported. You can get two harvests per season. The fruits are oval, pink, weighing 70–90 grams. | |
| 70–85 | up to 450 kg | Not picky about climate and soil type. Can be grown in any region of the country. Good keeping quality. Dark red fruits of excellent taste, weighing up to 800 grams. Potatoes that have no flaws. |

Plants have adapted to difficult conditions: with wide foliage they create shade around the bush and prevent moisture from evaporating from the soil. Some plants have even learned to roll their leaves to maximize moisture conservation.
Clay soils
Clay soil is not the most favorable for growing potatoes. It is characterized by increased viscosity, density, and water resistance. In this regard, plants are completely unable to take advantage of the beneficial substances it contains. To improve the composition of such soil, you can add sawdust, sand or ash to it. The hard crust on its surface that forms after rains and watering can only be dealt with by loosening.
It is necessary to grow potatoes in such difficult conditions only in ridges or on raised beds, maintaining a shallow landing. To increase the yield, apply manure, compost or peat under autumn plowing, at a depth of at least 30 cm, at the rate of 6-8 kg per 1 sq./m.
On clay soils, Gatchinsky, Golubizna, Zarevo, Istrinsky, Lasunok, Lugovskoy, Lukyanovsky, Nevsky, and Rozara consistently show good results.
On sandy and clay soils, the Cleopatra variety performed equally well, being completely unpretentious and tolerant of drought. Productivity - 133-205 kg per hundred square meters. The fruits are large and quickly recover from mechanical damage. Gardeners give extremely positive reviews about it.
Climate dependency
Each region of the country has its own climatic characteristics, which have both beneficial and detrimental effects on plants.
The Moscow region does not have the best climate for growing potatoes. Varieties that are resistant to the humidity for which this region is famous are suitable here. This could be Vesna, Zhukovsky early, Timo Khankkiyan (popularly known as simply Timo), Nevsky, Condor, Romano or Lugovskoy. In general, in the Moscow region it is difficult to achieve the desired potato yield, so it is best to plant zoned varieties on the site.
- White Spring is an early ripening variety (75-80 days), zoned in the European part of the country and in Siberia. Productivity - 320-410 kg per hundred square meters. Disease resistance is average. Due to the short growing season, it is suitable for cultivation in the Arctic. It is possible to obtain two harvests per season. The tubers are light beige, oval, weighing up to 180 grams.
- Timo Hankkiyan is a Finnish variety, unpretentious to the type of soil, with good tolerance to prolonged cold spells, sudden changes in air temperature, excess humidity and drought. It is resistant to viruses and pests. Productivity is from 150 to 300 kg per hundred square meters. The tubers are white, weighing 60–120 grams, tasty, rich in starch, and do not darken during storage.
It should be noted that reviews of Timo among gardeners are extremely mixed. Some people liked it in their gardens, while others claim that its characteristics, including taste, are extremely exaggerated by breeders.
Plant on your site at least three varieties potatoes, preferably at different ripening times. This will significantly reduce your likelihood of being left without a harvest. Appropriate care - key point in the cultivation of potatoes, which are not weeds and will not grow on their own.
Choice Leningrad gardeners- early and middle varieties. Their first harvest takes place in July.

- late ones - Belorussky 3, Golubizna, Lasunak, Lorch, Naroch, Picasso, Pobeda, Temp.
Siberia and the Urals are areas of risky agriculture. To them climatic features Not every potato variety can adapt. Short summers, frequent cold spells, sudden changes in intense heat with rain and cold nights. Alena, Priekulsky, Udacha, Zhukovsky early, White Spring were able to take root in this climate. Late varieties of potatoes are not planted in the Urals and Siberia.

Gardeners obtain high potato yields by providing the plants with good care and fertile soil.
Growing seed potatoes
Over time, any variety of potato, including the best, loses its quality, taste, and accumulates various diseases, its productivity is falling, complete degeneration is possible. Therefore, at least once every 4 years you need to update the seed material. You can buy it, or you can get it yourself from seeds using seedlings.
Leaders among varieties for growing from seeds:
- Krasa is a medium-late variety with a yield of 400-450 kg per hundred square meters, which tolerates dry periods well. It can be grown in any region of the country. The tubers are red, oval, with a lot of starch.
- Deva is a mid-season variety-population, productive (up to 400 kg per hundred square meters), adaptable to any weather conditions. Suitable for any region. Very tasty red oval fruits.
- Ilona is a mid-early variety with a yield of up to 400 kg, recommended for market sales. The fruits are medium-sized, oval or elongated oval, light beige.
- Milena is an ultra-early variety, yield up to 600 kg, resistant to many dangerous diseases. The fruits are round-oval, cream-colored, with excellent taste.
The most stable
The most merciless enemies of potatoes: late blight, Colorado beetle And golden nematode. Individually they manage to destroy up to half the crop, and the plants cannot be saved from their combined attack. For now, the gardener’s only option is to grow varieties that are resistant to them.
Where there is high humidity, there is late blight: in regions of heavy rain, fog and dew. Here you need to plant potatoes with good resistance to it: Arosa, Bellarosa, Borodyansky pink, Zhivitsa, Chervona rue, and others.
Thick-skinned fruits are rarely damaged by pests. For protection against wireworms or larvae chafer plant varieties such as Crimson, Bellarosa, Vineta, Sante, Chervona rue.
On soils with an alkaline reaction (chernozems, solonetzes, sandstones), the likelihood of potato scab infection is increased. Liming, adding ash or unrotted manure in this case is unacceptable. Otherwise, the alkalinity of the soil will increase even more and cause not only scab. You can add pine needles, sulfur or gypsum during autumn plowing, thereby acidifying the soil. Arosa, Bellarosa, Karatop, Agave, Vineta, Fantasia, Crimson, and Grouse are relatively resistant to scab. The most resistant to it is the famous Picasso.
If the plants in your area are unnaturally low, then the soil has been infected by golden nematode. It is opposed by such varieties as Arosa, Bellarosa, Laura, Agave, Finca, Vineta, Sante and others.
The most enduring
There are very few rich fertile soils in central Russia. Here there are some that are completely unsuitable for growing any kind of vegetation. Varieties have been created specifically for such lands, allowing a harvest of 50 to 100 kg per hundred square meters.
- Adretta - universal variety German selection, drought-resistant, does not require fertilizing. It can grow well in both clay and sandy soils. With regular and abundant watering possible maximum yield 250 kg per hundred square meters. It has an exquisite fruit taste.
- Elizaveta is the most unpretentious variety; on loamy and sandy soils it produces a yield of up to 250 kg per hundred square meters. Good drought tolerance. Susceptible to late blight and Colorado potato beetle.
- Aspia is a mid-early variety that tolerates prolonged heat, cold snaps, moisture deficiency and various potato diseases. Productivity - 400 kg per hundred square meters. The tubers are round and white. During heat treatment, the pulp does not darken and does not lose its unusual fruity flavor.
These potato varieties can grow in unfavorable conditions, but if you take care of them, water them, and feed them, you can significantly increase your yield.
On depleted soils, grow varieties such as Bellarosa, Titan, Pushkinsky, Karelia. The main thing is to provide them with appropriate care, otherwise their tubers may become deformed.
In arid regions, varieties such as Arosa, Bellarosa, Laura, Sprint, Agave, Minerva, Picasso, and Slavyanka can be successfully grown.
Foreign selections
In Russia today a large number of imported varieties potatoes. For the most part these are Dutch and German varieties. They grow in many areas and delight gardeners with an excellent harvest.
Dutch varieties
Varieties of Dutch selection inspire trust like no other, because Holland has been exporting its varieties throughout the world for a long time. The quality of this time-tested selection is trusted unconditionally. As a rule, Dutch potatoes stand out for their high yields, beautiful fruits and excellent taste, but it needs to be updated at least once every 3-4 years. Some varieties are capable of degeneration. The potato business in Holland is built on this. Let's look at the most popular varieties.
