Instead of peeling 2-3 large potatoes for dinner, some people have to spend a long time messing around with small ones.
It is not worth leaving such potatoes even for seeds. If the harvest becomes smaller year after year, then the seed material will have to be changed.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, told us which variety of potato to choose for planting.
Dream Harvest
Summer residents don’t even suspect that the weight of one potato tuber can reach 800 grams.
This means that by choosing the right variety and preparing the soil, you can harvest up to 6 centners of second grain from one hundred square meters.
Giant
In addition to the advantages in the weight category, the potato variety is resistant to a wide range of diseases.
In particular, it is not threatened by scab, mosaic varieties, late blight and other diseases.
Tuber maturation takes 115 days from the date of planting.
The tubers grow in the correct shape, they do not boil over or darken when cooked, and also have an excellent taste.
Potatoes can be fried, boiled whole or for soups, mashed and baked.
Care
Potatoes need hilling and are also demanding of moisture.
It must be watered generously before the first hilling, the second time before flowering, and also after flowering is complete.
