Seed potatoes Nevsky, seeds weight mesh 20kg

Potato Nevsky was bred in 1976 at the North-West Agricultural Research Institute as a result of crossing the varieties Veselovskaya and Candidate. The goal of the breeders was to create an unpretentious and high-yielding crop. The Nevsky variety fully meets these requirements. Today, about 25% of all areas where potatoes grow are used for its planting. Potatoes Nevsky are distinguished by high yield rates. The productivity of one bush is 1.5 kg. 400-450 kg are harvested from a hundred square meters, and in some cases the amount of the crop reaches 600 kg. Nevsky is a mid-early variety: fruits ripen 80–90 days after germination. Potato bushes consist of many erect, low and branched stems. The tops are spreading, lush. Leaves are medium in size, colored green. Inflorescences are white. Tubers reach 90–130 g. About 10–15 root crops are formed in one bush. They have a rounded oblong shape, covered with a smooth white-yellow skin with pink eyes. Due to the moderate amount of starch (10.4–14.8%), the pulp does not darken when peeling. She has a pleasant white color. Potatoes have a well-developed root system, which allows the crop to extract moisture from deep soil layers and tolerate drought. In hot weather, the leaf plates curl. This is how the potatoes prevent moisture from evaporating. FEATURES OF PREPARATION OF TUBERS: Not only the soil needs preparation, but also the tubers themselves. First, sort through them, pick out medium-sized potatoes (about 100 g each) without damage. There are several ways to prepare root vegetables: Heating the vegetable. Place the potatoes in a warm place at 20 ° C for 2 months. Then move the roots to a bright, but cooler room (10 ° C is optimal). Drying. Arrange the tubers in one layer in crates for a month. Do not cover the top of the container to ensure adequate ventilation. Watering the tubers with a nutrient solution. To prepare it, you need to dilute 40 g of potassium salt and superphosphate in 10 liters of water. Processing is done from a watering can 2 days before planting, consumption: 10 liters per 50 kg. However, one of the most common ways to prepare tubers is by sprouting. He, in turn, is divided into several methods: The most common option is sprouting in the light, which involves exposing vegetables to artificial or daylight for 5-7 days. At the same time, the room temperature should be maintained at 12-15 ° C. Tubers are laid out in boxes in 1-2 layers. You can also germinate potatoes in a humid environment. Root crops are placed in baskets or boxes and sprinkled with sawdust. The thickness of the upper and lower layers should be about 5 cm. The sawdust is watered so that they are slightly damp. Then the vegetables are placed for 12-15 days in a dark, well-ventilated room with a temperature of 15 ° C and a humidity of 70%. Sprouted tubers should have sprouts 2–3 cm long. Potatoes are planted in late April or early May, when the soil warms up to 6–8 ° C. Root crops are placed in holes, which are located at a distance of 20 cm. The distance from the top of the potato to the surface of the soil should be 5 cm. The rows are placed every 50–70 cm. This space will allow the bushes to spud with further care. Place 1 tuber in each hole, place it with sprouts up, then cover the hole with earth. Some gardeners prefer to cut vegetables when planting. For the Nevsky variety, this method cannot be used, this will reduce the yield of potatoes. After planting is complete, use a rake to level the entire area. Alternatively, you can not plant the tubers in holes, but simply in a shallow trench. To do this, a 7–10 cm depression is made along the entire row, where roots are laid out at a distance of 20–30 cm. The soil is poured from above to the previous level and leveled with a rake. where roots are laid out at a distance of 20–30 cm. The soil is poured from above to the previous level and leveled with a rake. where roots are laid out at a distance of 20–30 cm.
