Fresco potatoes: variety description and characteristics, photos and reviews, taste, ripening and storage times

Potatoes are one of the most popular vegetables, of which, like many representatives of country crops, eggplants, for example, there are a great many varieties, but which of them are the best is quite difficult to determine. In order for the harvest of this vegetable crop to be the best, and during ripening the tubers are not affected by diseases and pests, it is necessary to choose potato varieties that are specially zoned for a specific climate. This approach to planting will ensure excellent survival rate and harvest of vegetables.

Zoned potato varieties are developed taking into account the characteristics of the climatic zone and soil conditions of each individual territory; in addition, the selection takes into account the duration of the period that is favorable for growing vegetables. Taking these features into account, the territory of Russia is conditionally divided into regions where certain and best varieties of potatoes are zoned.

And since everyone plants their own potatoes, whatever they choose (all kinds of schemes, methods, ridges, ...), then the “yield” of the crop of the varieties below will be given in c/ha (centner per hectare). And the weight from 1 c/ha, if we translate this into “digestible” numbers that are understandable to many, compared to 1 kg/sq. meter, will mean a value exactly 100 times smaller (for example, 400 c/ha = 4 kg/sq. m.).

Potato varieties for the Northern regions

It is not easy to grow potatoes here, and late-ripening varieties are almost impossible. However, even in such harsh conditions, a rich harvest of this crop is possible:

Fresco

An early favorite for this region is the Fresco potato. This variety is immune to many diseases, but it is partially susceptible to late blight (for the elimination of which hands and preparations are given). The ripening period for vegetables, each weighing 110-120 grams, is 75-80 days. Productivity 220-370 c/ha.

Nevsky

Nevsky potatoes are popular among many summer residents who prefer mid-early varieties. It is frost-resistant, has excellent preservation and, if properly cared for, provides the gardener with large harvest tubers (270-340 c/ha) of white color with the same pulp. The growing season is 80-90 days, the average tuber weight is 90-130 grams.

Ladozhsky

One of the best mid-season varieties for the Northern region is Ladoga. It has fairly large tubers (from 100 to 350 g), with white pulp and a golden glossy skin. Ladoga is resistant to attacks by many pests, however, it is partially susceptible to late blight. The ripening period for vegetables with a yield of 200-450 c/ha is 82-87 days.

Nikulinsky

Not every medium-late potato (just over 120 days) manages to form full-fledged tubers in the climate of the Northern region, however, Nikulinsky is a pleasant exception. It is immune to many parasites, except blackleg, as well as common scab. Light beige medium-sized vegetables (75-130 g), with whitish pulp and a large number of small eyes and a mesh skin. 320-440 c/ha will please the gardener.

The best potatoes for the Northwest

The climate here is quite cold, and of the 59 potato varieties that take root here, only 5 are late and mid-late.

Borodyansky pink

Early Borodyansky pink is the best choice for those who prefer to enjoy potatoes (200-420 c/ha) already in early August. The growing season is only about 75 days. At the same time, there are many tubers of the same size in the nest, 100-130 g. The flesh of the vegetables is creamy yellow and crumbles when cooked. The variety does not survive storage very well: it is susceptible to disease and rot, so it is not worth planting as the main one.

Gala

Particularly popular among experienced summer residents are mid-ripening Gala potatoes, the most preferred variety for planting (220-250 c/ha) in the North-Western part of Russia. The tubers (80-120 g) are round, with yellowish skin and yellow flesh. Despite the rapid ripening period (no more than 80 days), vegetables have a high shelf life. Its only drawback is its susceptibility to the fungus rhizoctonia, but timely preventive treatment will eliminate the disease.

Bronnitsky

There are many outstanding potatoes in many respects for their suitability for the conditions of this part of Russia, and one of them is the mid-season Bronnitsky variety (320-510 c/ha). The shape of the tuber is an oval. The pulp and skin are yellowish in color. It is highly resistant to late blight. An average tuber weighs approximately 100-110 grams. Loamy soils are more suitable for cultivation.
