Early ripe high-yielding potatoes Spring - growing features, characteristics

The history of the origin of the “Spring” potato variety

The “Vesna” variety was bred by employees of the Leningrad Research Institute of Agriculture, LLC SF “Liga” (Russia).

Entered into the State Register in 1994.

The table below presents data on the yield of other potato varieties:

Zoned for cultivation in:

• Volgo-Vyatka;
• Ural;
• East Siberian;
• Far Eastern regions.

Correct fit

To increase productivity, you need to follow the following rules for growing in your garden plots:

• Planting material is planted in beds where perennial grasses, winter crops and legumes grew;
• For planting, give preference to pure-grade tubers, whose weight is 50-100 grams, after high-quality pre-planting preparation;
• After the tubers have warmed up, as a preventative measure, treat the planting material with a solution of copper sulfate (1 tsp per three liters of water);
• Choose a well-lit area, which, immediately before planting, is dug to the depth of one spade bayonet, then loosen the soil using a rake;
• It is not recommended to apply fresh manure; use high-quality humus as a replacement;
• To eliminate rust on potato tubers, it is necessary to carry out root feeding of the plantings at the rate of 3 tbsp. l. superphosphate per bucket of water;
• The optimal temperature for potatoes to grow and develop normally is from +18 to +22 °C.

REFERENCE: Any temperature fluctuations have a negative impact on both the yield and the quality properties of root crops.

Features of cultivation

This variety must be removed from storage 2 weeks before planting in the light; greening has a beneficial effect on germination and further development.

Potatoes cannot be planted in areas where tomatoes were grown last season. You also can’t grow potatoes next to tomatoes; they have common diseases and suffer from common pests.

The best companion for “Ramos” is cabbage and onions, a good place to plant where legumes and grains were planted last year.

When the soil temperature at a depth of 10 cm is about 13 degrees, it is possible to plant potatoes, maintaining a distance between plants of at least 20 cm. “Ramos” intensively develops many tubers, so the distance between potato bushes should be as large as possible.

Planting of mid-early potatoes begins in early May. The air temperature should not be less than 18 degrees; Ramos does not like hot temperatures. “Ramos” does not favor heavily moist areas; use dry places or elevated areas for cultivation.

In hot climates, potatoes are threatened by aphids, spider mites, cicadas, Colorado potato beetles and their larvae, mole crickets and wireworms. Insecticides or non-toxic biological preparations, which are generously sprayed on the plantings, will help get rid of pests.

On our website you will find a lot of useful information about spraying potatoes to prevent pests.

You will also find articles about folk remedies and chemical preparations against the Colorado potato beetle.

ATTENTION! “Ramos” reacts poorly to substances contained in anti-weed preparations and cannot be used after sprouts appear. It is better to use mulching.

"Ramos" responds well to root feeding and spraying with fertilizers

Regular loosening, hilling and weeding are required. Watering is not necessary. To form a good harvest, you can pick off the flowers from the bushes, all the growth will go into the tubers. It is necessary to dig up potatoes exactly at the time of technical maturity due to poor resistance to late blight of tubers

The variety is well stored for a long time and is not afraid of frost. To avoid severe germination and spoilage of tubers, it is necessary to store them at a temperature of up to 4 degrees, it must be constant. Storage place: dry, dark.

Harvesting

Drying potato tops (in mid-July) indicate the final growing season of the variety. The skin of the tubers becomes denser. Existing harvesting methods:

• Traditional. The potato bush is pulled out and the tubers remaining in the ground are selected;
• Protracted. Large tubers are torn from the bush, and the bush itself is left to grow, which allows small root crops to ripen. After two to three weeks, small tubers will double their mass.

Diseases and pests

The obvious advantages of the Vesna variety include the high immunity of this vegetable plant to many diseases characteristic of other potato varieties:

• potato cancer;
• macrosporiosis;
• viral diseases;
• late blight.

To prevent the occurrence of diseases in this variety, it is recommended to carry out some preventive measures:

• plant only healthy planting material;
• treat potato bushes during flowering and again after three weeks with biological preparations;
• leaves and stems damaged by pests and diseases should be removed in a timely manner;
• plant mustard, horseradish, garlic, and lemon balm in the rows, the aroma of which repels pests.

Reviews about the variety

Table potatoes of the “Spring” variety, which have high marketability, form pink and white root crops. They are used to prepare soups, salads and main courses. The Vesna variety is popular in Russia because it guarantees a harvest of marketable tubers two months after planting. Potatoes respond well to fertilizing with organic and mineral fertilizers.

REFERENCE: Planting tubers in compacted soil significantly reduces yield.

Potatoes of the “Spring” variety will be an excellent choice both for growing on personal plots and on an industrial scale. It is successfully grown by gardeners to get an early harvest of young potatoes and sell them on the market. Vesna potatoes are productive; good care of the plantings helps produce up to 1.5 kg of marketable potato tubers from one bush.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with potato varieties that have different ripening periods:

Characteristic

The Explosive potato variety has round or oval tubers. The tough skin is reddish-pink, with a warm palette of light tones. The eyes are medium-sized, small and of medium depth. The shades of the dense and juicy pulp are cream or yellowish. From 8 to 14 tubers are formed in the nest, almost identical in size. The average weight of the Vzryvny potato fruit, according to the description of the variety in official sources, is 110-150 g. The yield for early varieties is high, reaching up to 450-500 c/ha if the crop care requirements are met.

Note! The tubers are formed for harvesting after 42-50 days of plant development, which is a valuable feature of the Vzryvnoy variety. Full ripening occurs in 60-70 days. Early potato variety is responsive to timely enrichment of soil with organic matter

Therefore, they plant the Explosion potato in a plot prepared in the fall, in which case it lives up to its glib name. The marketable yield of early ripening products is 93%, this is a very high figure, at the level of well-known foreign varieties

The commercial yield of early ripening products is 93%, this is a very high figure, at the level of well-known foreign varieties.

Potato tubers Explosion with excellent taste, rich in starch, which is determined in the range from 16 to 22%

The content of this substance, important for the structure of cooked potatoes, depends on the availability of fertilizers and moisture:

• the larger the area with the crop was fed, the less starch, which cannot be formed quickly in early varieties;
• in the dry season, the tubers are much richer in starch than in the rainy summer.

Tubers of the Vzryv variety belong to the culinary type CD according to the international classification, which has the following characteristics:

• boilability;
• mealiness;
• lack of wateriness.

Thanks to their dense skin, varietal potato tubers are resistant to mechanical damage and are suitable for mechanized harvesting. They are well stored, their shelf life rises to 95%, which meets modern requirements for the quality of commercial products.

The shape of the tubers is round or oval

Although the variety was tested in areas of the Central region of Russia, in accordance with the official description of the Vzryv potato, it is suitable for cultivation in all areas where potatoes are planted. Another valuable feature of the variety is its high adaptability to any soil, as well as to climatic variations.

Important! The variety is drought-resistant and tolerates long periods without additional moisture, although with watering the yield increases significantly.
