The best potato varieties for the Middle Lane. And there will be enough to eat, and there will be left for seeds

Do you want to update your potato planting wisely? Then a fiery salute, comrade, a thoughtful gardener! Today on the agenda are the best potato varieties for Central Russia, which, with the same labor costs, will yield 1.5-2 times more harvest.

I sincerely believe that the readers of "Dachny Commissar" are thinking citizens. Therefore, I will not tell you for a long time and tediously why you need to change potato varieties, painting terrible pictures of late blight or a hungry family. And yet I hope a little that they understand: you can't just pick and choose a variety, simply because a neighbor gives it away.

I know how you missed planting potatoes and are waiting for it!

The potato variety is a perspective. Productivity, resistance to adversity, infection with diseases and loyalty to the "mistakes" of the owner. So, today - the best of the best.

The best variety of early potatoes

Who among us is in no hurry to stir up a bush and boil fresh potatoes, and even with butter and dill?

Note to a friend: thanks to its high yield and excellent presentation, the Rosara variety is planted for sale.

"Rosara" is good, wherever you spit:

• It tolerates drought and rainy weeks without any problems. Trouble doesn't really affect the end result. This means you can spend more time in the greenhouse with your favorite tomatoes.
• Tubers "Rosary" - something that is not a shame to serve and is pleasant to clean. The variety is characterized by even tubers of the correct shape, and ideally - all plus or minus the same size, as for selection. Weight - 80-100 g. It was not for nothing that I mentioned about "cleaning": the eyes of "Rosara" are not buried in the flesh, so you don't have to pick with a knife for a long time.

• The content of starch in tubers is higher than that of most other early-maturing varieties - 12-16%. For a moment: the rate for early maturing is 10%.

I cannot but say about the yield: 500 kg of "Rosary" are gained from 1 hundred square meters. And having dug out one bush, you will find 16-20 tubers.

Simultaneously with "Rozara" the leaders are: "Bellarosa", again from Germany, and the achievement of the Russian selection - "Luck".

The best variety of mid-season potatoes

But not everyone is ready to spend the cherished furrows for early potatoes. After all, it doesn't store well. More thrifty citizens, I suggest paying attention to "Adretto "- the undoubted leader in the category. Derived, oddly enough, also by the Germans.

"Adretta" also has something to offer you, comrade:

• The trump card of the variety is its excellent taste, for which Adretta is loved and revered by both summer residents and farmers. It becomes not just a side dish, but an independent delicacy.
• Resistant to bad weather and leaving - ideal for lazy gardeners. Doesn't pay much attention to the characteristics of the land.
• Potato weight - an average of 130 g.

• Quite good, which can only be for a mid-season variety, safety. Among their own kind, it is at "Adretta" that most tubers survive until spring.

From one hundred square meters you will collect 450 kg. Not a record holder, but the taste covers everything with interest.

A couple of other mid-season varieties can compete with "Adretta": the almost legendary, unkillable "Nevsky" and his girlfriend "Aurora". The latter is popularly known as "Little Red Eye".

The best variety of late potatoes

And now, comrades, the most delicious. What is most important - dead. By lowering the potatoes into the cellar, you can be sure that they will last as long as possible. And when a good yield in kilograms is added to this, one can say: "The season was a success!"

All this is offered by a variety with a century-old history - the Soviet "Lorkh". He collected everything that I told before: excellent taste and unpretentiousness. But plus to everything, it lies perfectly until the start of the next season without premature germination.

From one hundred square meters you will count 350-400 kg. This may seem a little, but in combination with keeping quality and exceptional unpretentiousness, this variety is chosen by thousands of gardeners year after year.

"Lorkhu" is stepping on the heels of the Dutch "Asterix" (for lovers of potatoes for frying) and "Zhuravinka".

Was the rating interesting? Press, comrade, "Thumbs up"!
Sincerely yours, pondering Fyodor Tyapkin-Sklyankin.
