Cultivation of potato in the conditions of mountain province of dagestan for industrial processing

Abstract

One of the conditions of cultivating of qualitative and suitable for industrial processing potato is use for landing of promising and recommended by Dagestani research university potato grades which past practical approval in the region, as productivity and quality, along with other factors, depends to a large extent on grade selected for landing. Agroclimatic conditions of mountain Dagestan province are quite acceptable for potato cultivation, are characterised by significal diversity on composition and fertility of soils, uniformity of distribution of precipitation in the period of vegetation, the amount of effective temperatures and other factors. These factors are significant to define how much potato will use bioclimatic potential. The article presents results of researches of potato grades, suitable for industrial processing, in the conditions of high-level province of the Republic Dagestan. Work was performed in 2016-2017 in the department of vegetable growing and potato growing on mountain proving ground “Kurakhskij” of Research university of Dagestani scientific research institute of agriculture located on farmer's facilities “Zul” МО “Kurakhskij area” at a height more than 2000 m above the level of world ocean. As a result of conducted researches it is installed that by high productivity and good biochemical ratings on the content of dry substance and farina were allocated next grades: VNIIKH 2012.4665/35, Veras, Dezire, Foothill, Dandy and Red Skarlett. These grades on productivity surpassed a control grade Volzhanin by 119189%, the content of dry substance accounted is 21,2-26,4%, farina - 16,0-21,6%.
