Assessment of potato varieties and variety samples selected by the Ural Research Institute of Agriculture from the collection of the A.V. Zhuravsky Institute of Agrobiotechnologies FRC Komi SC UB RAS

The article discusses the results of testing varieties and variety samples of potato selected by the Ural Research Institute of Agriculture. By the obtained data of 2021, the microclonal propagation is an efficient method in terms of tuberization, as evidenced by the weight ratio of potato tubers to tops (it is comparatively high in the yield of minitubers (p≤0.05)) with domination of first fraction tubers (tubers weighing more than 80 g). According to the assessment of varieties and variety samples of 2021-2022, the study early and early-ripening varieties are dominated by the Meteor and Terra varieties being noticeable through early yield (in 65 days) and marketability (more than 80%). These varieties yield more than 20 t/ha. The Terra, Meteor, Shakh, Mishka varieties and the 14-27-6 variety sample showed a high overall yield of more 36 t/ha.
