The paper highlights the need in a new approach to selection of table potato varieties as a healthy nutrition source in the conditions of cold climate. For the first time, we access the informative value of the use of green plant sprouts in practical potato breeding as an independent study topic accompanied with morphological and biochemical studies related to the search for biomarkers indicating economic characters in potato hybrids. The applicability of the Selyaninov hydrothermal coefficient as a mathematical model parameter of the potato yield increment dynamics with account to agro-meteorological forecast in order to specify the beginning time of potato harvest.
