Overview of the earliest potato varieties: detailed descriptions and characteristics

Classification of potato varieties by maturity

Worth knowing! Ripening period is the time period from the first shoots to full ripening of the fruit.However, you can dig in potatoes for food 15-20 days earlier, although in this case you will receive only 50-60% of the maximum yield.

According to the ripening period, all potato varieties, as a rule, are divided into:

• very early (60-70 days);
• early (70-80 days);
• medium early (80-90 days);
• medium or mid-season (90-110 days);
• medium late (110-120 days);
• late (120-140 days).

Note! In most cases, all early varieties can be dug in already on the 45th day after full germination (by this time you can get about 50-70% of the average yield of the variety), and on the 55th day - up to 80-90% of the yield varieties.

This review will only focus on the best very early and early potato varieties.

Advice! In your garden, it is optimal to grow several varieties of potatoes of different ripening periods at once: this way, during the summer you can enjoy early potatoes (early and medium varieties), and in the fall you can dig out a harvest that will stored until next year (middle and late varieties).

Early varieties of potatoes: what are the features of its cultivation (pros and cons)

The advantages of planting and growing early potato varieties:

• As mentioned earlier, this is a very early summer harvest.
• Requires less maintenance as have a short growing season.
• The ability to grow two crops (under favorable climatic conditions).
• Early varieties are less likely to suffer from late blight, because they are collected well before the onset of the active phase (peak) of the disease.
• Early ripening varieties are by no means inferior in terms of basic characteristics (yield, taste), and in terms of the latter, they often surpass their average or late counterparts.

The only drawback: for long winter storageI only medium, medium late and late varieties are suitable.

By the way! Many ratings of the earliest potato varieties contain Dutch variety Ariel, but it is not officially registered, which means that it is not approved for use in Russia.
