Potato Orchid - variety description, photos, reviews, planting and care

Diseases and pests

All descriptions indicate the outstanding resistance of the Vega potato variety to major crop diseases. Late blight Vega is rarely affected due to its early ripening. The merit of the breeders is high resistance to nematodes, cancer, blackleg, and average resistance to scab and mosaic. This does not cancel preventive treatments, especially in fields and beds where crop rotation is not observed.

Vega is a promising, productive German potato variety of early ripening. On an industrial scale, it is recommended to grow it in the middle zone. Amateurs plant even on the border of the potato cultivation zone - Vega contains the same amount of starch as mid-season varieties, which makes it one of the most delicious in the group.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of early potato varieties:

• high productivity;
• short growing season;
• ease of care;
• disease resistance;
• good taste;
• ability to produce two crops under favorable climatic conditions.

Among the disadvantages, a short shelf life is noted (such tubers will not be stored until spring).

Each variety has its pros and cons:

Dutch potato varieties

Holland, being a country with a cool climate, ranks first in the production of planting material, both potatoes and other vegetables. They supply their developments for growing high-yielding potatoes to markets in 70 countries around the world.

On Russian lands, many potato varieties from Holland have taken root well and are producing record yields. The varieties described above that are grown by Russian gardeners are “Red Scarlett”, “Impala”. There are other varieties that grow ideally in the Russian climate.

Early Zhukovsky (Russia)

The tubers of this variety are pink, oval, leveled, large (there are practically no small ones), with a smooth skin. It has good keeping quality, is tasty, and does not darken when cut. Contains starch – up to 15%. Lightly boiled, taste quality is medium to good. Has little waste during storage. Resistant against potato nematode and cancer.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the Bluest spruce variety

Weak resistance against late blight. Does not tolerate waterlogging or dense soil due to possible suffocation of tubers. Of the domestic varieties, this is the earliest and one of the most productive. It is drought-resistant, but in hot, dry climates it quickly degenerates within 2-3 years, and its yield in the Kuban quickly decreases. Value: stable high yield, plasticity, early commercial production. He is not afraid of the potato nematode. Recommended for all regions except Northern and East Siberian.

How to choose the right seed potatoes

When choosing seed potatoes, you need to carefully consider the appearance of the tuber. The correct potatoes should look like this:

• The tuber should be the size of a chicken egg, but you can take it a little larger.
• There should be no damage.
• Potato seeds must be disease-free.
• Potatoes that have already sprouted are allowed to be planted. This will help him ascend faster.

It is also worth correctly calculating the number of seeds. It is customary to take about 20-30 kg per one hundred square meters of land. If the potatoes are too large, then divide them in half before planting. So, if you have sorted out the quantity, it is worth considering all the most famous varieties, their features and characteristics.

Potatoes from seeds. we plant mini tubers. season 2022 part 2

Potatoes in boxes under straw The main problem that needed to be solved in 2022 was the lack of space for planting mini-tubers. The main planting potatoes took their place in the boxes. In the territories “annexed” to the site, I planted the old “Adretta” (as always, for the last time!))).

“Adretta” behind the plot Divided the mini-tubers into 3 parts according to the size of the potatoes, and had difficulty finding places for them. 2 places next to “Adretta”, and the third was artificially poured near an apple tree and 2 gooseberry bushes next to the bathhouse. We have long wanted to add soil in this place. She started hauling the land herself in a wheelbarrow from the little forest where she was looking for potatoes; he and my neighbor always help us out.

My husband looked at my activity and took matters into his own hands. But then I realized that I needed somewhere to put the Romanesco cabbage and the early Savoy Nyusha. It seems like they were dividing the seedlings, but there were still a lot left. As a result, I “attached” cabbages, and between them the smallest potato tubers from last year’s seeds. And Romanesco, and potatoes, and Savoy

I thought that we would eat the cabbage before the “rich” potato harvest was harvested... I thought in vain. “Romanesco” began to turn into “banana” thickets.

Everything has started to grow. There is a lowland here, and it is necessary to raise it, but the hands, as they say, “didn’t reach it.” Behind the “cucumber finder” is a semicircular bed with “Romanesco”, “Nyusha” and the potatoes being tested.

The next part of my story about how I grew potatoes from seeds could well be titled: “The potatoes are tasty, shelf-stable, productive.” A well-stored, disease-resistant, rich harvest is very suitable for fattening animals and for commercial purposes, for the market, in our opinion. On one of the farming sites I came across a heated discussion of varieties; they recommend, without hiding, some varieties for themselves, and others for sale.

Potatoes from seeds 2022

March 2022 has arrived. I begin to prepare the potatoes for planting: I take them out of the basement, lay them out in one layer in small plastic boxes with holes (usually such boxes are used for transporting champignons, as well as greens). There are also large, strong ones in hardware stores, but the light penetrates better through the former.

Features of cultivation and care

Potatoes are heat- and light-loving, relatively drought-resistant, and responsive to mineral supplements. This determines the crop’s requirements for cultivation:

• rich in organic matter, highly permeable to water and air, warm soil with a slightly acidic or neutral reaction;
• the bed should be well lit throughout the day;
• the crop needs increased doses of potassium, moderate doses of nitrogen, phosphorus (the crop takes little of them out of the soil).

We invite you to familiarize yourself with Tomato temptation characteristics and description of the variety

Doesn't like potatoes:

• fresh manure;
• excess nitrogen - this leads to scab, even in the Vega variety;
• chlorine-containing fertilizers;
• shading;
• frequent watering or rainy weather, especially after flowering, during the ripening period of tubers;
• thickened plantings;
• long-term cold snap.

Caring for potatoes is as follows:

1. Watering. The crop is quite drought-resistant, but the Vega variety is demanding on soil moisture, especially during the period of formation and opening of buds. In dry, hot summers, it is better to water potatoes once or twice, but very generously. Moreover, it is not recommended to wet the tops. It is better to place the hose between the rows and let the moisture saturate the ground. 14 days before the expected harvest, watering is stopped completely. The planting is covered with cellophane to protect from rain. If this is not done, the safety and shelf life of the tubers will decrease.
2. Feeding. It's important not to overdo it here. In addition to the fact that excess nitrogen sharply increases the likelihood of scab infection (excess calcium will also lead to this), nitrates cause rapid growth of the above-ground part to the detriment of the formation of tubers.
3. Hilling is carried out at least twice. The first time is when the tops reach a height of 10-20 cm, the second time – after 2 weeks.
4. Loosening row spacing. Actually, according to the rules of agricultural technology, it is enough to carry out the operation twice. But if you peel a bed of early potatoes 4-5 times, the wireworm will not disturb the crop.

Digging is done when dry weather sets in, most of the stems will dry out, and the potato skin will no longer peel off the pulp, even if it is rubbed intensely and harshly. The harvest is left in the garden for several hours, then moved under a canopy.

Romano (Holland)

Red tuber potatoes with excellent taste and good shelf life during winter storage. In terms of early maturity, Romano lags behind Cleopatra (two weeks), so it is not suitable for early harvest. It can only be used for winter storage. The tuber has a short oval shape, pink skin, light cream flesh, medium-depth eyes, weight 70–80 g.

Starch content 10–13%. Resistant against cancer, relatively resistant to mosaic viruses, moderately resistant to late blight, rhizoctonia, leaf curl virus, susceptible to common scab. Value: good uniformity of tubers, good taste. Disadvantages: rapid degeneration in rainfed conditions (non-irrigated lands), as well as with poor agricultural technology. Recommended for potato growers of the Central, Volga-Vyatka, Central Black Earth, and Far Eastern regions.

A late potato variety with late tuberization, with large tubers covered with brown skin and white flesh. Used for making fries, chips, fried potatoes. Today it is approved in our country as food and is widely used by McDonald's chains. When making potato chips, the resulting chips are dark-colored due to the caramelization of the sugars. Tubers have high antioxidant activity.

When cultivated in the Kuban, it is characterized by low productivity, the prevalence of fine fractions during harvesting.

The press reported that under almost the same name (Russet Burbank), a genetically modified, transgenic potato variety (GMO) resistant to the Colorado potato beetle was being tested.
