Seed potatoes Picasso (Ryabukha), seeds, weight mesh 10kg

The Picasso potato is a late-ripening potato that can only be harvested after 110 to 130 days. Taking into account such ripening periods, as well as the general unpretentiousness of the variety, the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation recommends planting it in the Central and Central Black Earth regions. These potatoes cannot boast of the compact size of their bushes. At the same time, they stand out not only for their height, but also for their width. The spreading tops are composed of large, dark green leaves that have good curl resistance. During flowering, white flowers are visible among the large leaves of this variety. Each bush can form up to 20 tubers. Potatoes, like bushes, do not differ in miniature size. They are large and heavy, with an average weight of 80 to 140 grams. In their shape, they are similar to a rounded oval. A distinctive feature of Picasso is the color of the potatoes. It was thanks to her that this variety was named after Pablo Picasso, the great Spanish artist. The light yellow color of the skin of the potato, with pink spots around its eye, obviously reminded the breeders of Picasso’s paintings from the “pink period” of his work. The flesh of potatoes has a classic cream or milky white color. The starch in it is at a low level – only 10-12%. This potato tastes excellent. It does not darken when sliced ​​and does not melt when boiled. In addition, potatoes have excellent keeping quality and retain their taste and marketability for a long period of time. It is one of the best varieties for winter storage. It is not only perfectly stored, but also practically does not germinate during storage. According to many gardeners, The Picasso variety perfectly tolerates various weather conditions, which allows it to be planted not only in the regions recommended by the State Register, but also in many others. There is only one disease that can breach the immune system of this potato, and that is fusarium. From it, the tubers must be processed even before planting with any available drug, for example, “Batofit”, “Integral” or “Fitosporin-M”.
