Potatoes

Review and characteristics of the best potato varieties for Western and Eastern Siberia: the earliest and most productive

If earlier in Siberia it was quite difficult to grow a full-fledged crop of any vegetable crops and often simply impossible, now, thanks to the selection work of the largest universities and agricultural academies of the country and the world, special varieties of potatoes have been developed for Siberia (Western and Eastern).

Among the many varieties of this popular crop on offer, each gardener will be able to find the most suitable one for his needs and capabilities.

What varieties of potatoes are suitable for growing in Siberia (Western and Eastern)

Although the Siberian climate is called harsh (late spring and early autumn frosts, short summer), and in Eastern Siberia the thermometer really does not rise high even in summer, it can be quite hot in Western Siberia (up to +30 degrees), which means that for each region will have their own zoned potato varieties.

Of course, the Siberian region can hardly be called favorable for growing potatoes, therefore, for planting, only special varieties are required that have good resistance to adverse weather conditions. But this does not at all mean that you need to choose only early varieties; many mid-early and even mid-season varieties (for example, Aurora, Lugovskoy, etc.) are quite suitable. In addition, it is worth considering such an important characteristic as the culinary type of the variety, in other words, for what purposes the potatoes will be used: for making soups, salads, mashed potatoes, cooking, frying or producing french fries, chips.

The West Siberian region includes the following subjects*:

  • Altai Republic;
  • Altai region;
  • Kemerovo region;
  • Novosibirsk region;
  • Omsk region;
  • Tomsk region;
  • Tyumen region.

Note! Cultivars suitable for growing in the West Siberian region are not always suitable for planting in the East Siberian *.

That is why the selection of potato varieties for Western Siberia is much more extensive than for Eastern Siberia.

The East Siberian region includes these subjects*:

  • The Republic of Buryatia;
  • Irkutsk region;
  • Krasnoyarsk region;
  • The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia);
  • Tyva Republic;
  • The Republic of Khakassia;
  • Transbaikal region.

*Important! The data are presented in accordance with the classification by regions of admission of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "State Commission of the Russian Federation for Testing and Protection of Breeding Achievements".

It is also worth knowing that, according to the classification of this government agency, the Tyumen region is included in the West Siberian, and the Sverdlovsk region in the Volga-Vyatka regions of admission.

The Ural region includes only the following subjects: the Republic of Bashkortostan, Kurgan, Orenburg, Chelyabinsk regions.

The best potato varieties for Western Siberia: top-16
