The gardeners have long known the Vinet potato. Timely watering and periodic planting are important for her. Good care will allow you to get a good harvest.
General information about culture
The Vineta potato variety belongs to dessert varieties. It is used in cooking to prepare various dishes, for example, it is equally suitable for frying in a pan or deep-fried. The type of potato is early maturing - harvesting takes place in early June. The advantage of the plant is that the tubers are of the same size.
The history of the creation of the variety
In the 20th century in Germany, the Vinet potatoes were obtained by crossing varieties. The variety quickly gained popularity. In the 2000s. the variety was entered in the state register of agricultural crops in Russia.
Vineta potatoes, general view
Scientists have achieved a specific feature: Vineta potatoes do not lose their properties, volume of tubers and characteristics either during the first planting, or during subsequent ones.
Other types of potatoes, when planting the 2nd or 3rd generation, gradually lose their taste and weight, and become smaller.
The potato product appeared in Russia in 2002. The cultivation was tested in the Central regions, in Moscow and southern cities.
Characteristics of the variety by parameters
When describing the Vineta potato variety, the immune system of the product is highlighted. It blocks the development of diseases on leaf plates and tubers.
When characterizing the variety, the advantages are noted:
- Yield - up to 12 pieces are formed on one potato bush, 0.4-0.5 kg of potatoes are harvested. When harvesting after 45 days, 130-158 centners are harvested. from 1 hectare. With an increase in the growing period by 10 days, the volume rises to 220 centners / ha;
- Tuber parameters - weight varies from 70 to 90 grams. The peel is thin, has a yellow color, a mesh is visible on the surface. The shape of the fruit is oval or round. The pulp is white-yellow in color. During heat treatment, the tuber is boiled, the shade does not change;
- Bush appearance - stems are erect, 70 cm high, spreading. The leaf is wavy, light green in color. After the potatoes ripen, the tops gradually die off, signaling the need for harvesting;
- Bloom - buds appear at the tops of the stems. Flowers are simple, whitish or purple in color. During seed reproduction, the buds are mechanically pollinated with human participation. The seeds of the elite are obtained, called Vineta seed potato;
- Frost resistance - Vineta is not characterized by increased resistance to frost. Disembarkation is carried out on warm days, after the return frost leaves.
Blooming potatoes Vineta
A sharp drop in temperature negatively affects young shoots, they freeze slightly, which leads to a decrease in the volume of the crop. To prevent exposure to minus degrees, it is recommended to sprinkle the bushes with soil substrate, completely burying the tender shoots. The procedure has a positive effect on young shoots, keeping them from freezing, and helps to strengthen and expand the root system.
The characteristic of Vineta potatoes highlights several advantages, including increased resistance to tuber cancer, nematode and viral diseases.
Features of the variety of potatoes for agricultural cultivation
To obtain a high-quality harvest of Vineta potatoes, certain rules must be followed. You can describe the recommendations for planting and growing a potato product:
- Soil selection - Vetta potatoes bear fruit poorly in clay soil. The likelihood of getting a quality crop is minimal. Loose, fertile soil is suitable, easily absorbing nutrient moisture and oxygen;
- Humidity - for normal growth of tubers, groundwater should be 1.5 m lower than the planted potato product. Otherwise, increased humidity leads to infection of root crops with fungal diseases. They are not planted in the lowlands, where melt water accumulates. It is better to place the planting material on a hill;
- Selection of the landing site - a sunny place is an ideal option for planting root crops. In the shade, the shrub does not develop well, receives little sunlight, which affects the weight and quality of the fruit;
- Crop rotation - to obtain a high-quality harvest, potatoes are not planted in the same area for 2 years in a row. Root crops extract nutritional properties from the soil, depleting the soil. Do not plant potatoes after nightshade crops. A rich harvest is obtained when planting after peas, oats or mustard.
When hilling a bush, fertilizing with ammonium nitrate and humus is performed. A foliar fertilizer is introduced into the soil before bud formation and flowering. They feed the soil with nitroammophos. Thanks to this, the potatoes grow with good weight and rich taste.
Nutrient introduction during planting potato tubers
After flowering, for a better formation of root crops, add superphosphate diluted in water: 30 gr. preparation in a bucket of water (10 l.). Such proportions are maintained for feeding one potato bush.
Any feeding with nutrients is done after watering or precipitation in the form of dew or rain. Otherwise, you can provoke root burns.
Watering for the shrub is essential. During the flowering period of the Vineta potato variety, it is recommended to introduce nutrient moisture more often. Thanks to this, the stems of the bush develop well and the roots grow in the ground.
If it is a warm spring and a hot dry summer, then water the plantings as needed. Do not wait for the soil at the base of the bushes to crack.
It is imperative to mulch the soil under the bush. Straw, sawdust are ideal as mulch. Mulch is necessary for long-term retention of moisture in the soil.
Experienced summer residents advise, if the summer is cool and the air temperature does not rise above +20 .. + 220C, watering only 3 times per season. The introduction of nutritious moisture is recommended to be carried out when the first shoots appear, during the budding of inflorescences, and also after the end of flowering.
For watering, use 50 liters. per 1 m2. You need to bring in nutritious moisture in the morning or evening, as the sun has set. Incorrectly selected time provokes the development of burns on delicate leaf plates.
Advantages and disadvantages of potato varieties
To select high-quality planting material, you need to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the variety, as well as find out its advantages and disadvantages, only after that buy seedlings.The positive features of Vinette varietal potatoes are distinguished:
The resulting crop with high marketability
- High level of marketability, reaching 97%;
- Grown in areas where rainfall in summer is minimal, while producing a high-quality crop;
- Ripening of root crops is early, simultaneous;
- Taste quality - at a height, which allows you to cook any culinary delights;
- High-quality reproduction - maternal properties and volume do not change over all planting periods of the Vineta variety;
- The shelf life of root crops is long, regardless of the storage conditions;
- Grows on any soil substrates;
- The variety is not susceptible to disease;
- Differs in increased transportability;
- In arid areas, it produces the same yield as in areas with frequent irrigation.
Potatoes are sensitive to changes in temperature. With a sharp decrease in air degrees, its shoots freeze and die, reducing the quality and quantity of the crop. Summer heat without periodic watering has a negative effect on the product: the foliage is covered with burns, the soil cracks, injuring the tubers.
Therefore, before planting, it is worth studying the features of a potato product and asking about the pros and cons of the potato variety.
Thus, Vineta potatoes are presented as a popular variety revered by many gardeners. The planted tubers are able to bring a large yield at low cost and almost complete lack of care.
