Using of seedling method for growing early potatoes
accelerates the starting processes of growth and
development of plants, and the application of
temporary covers of the nonwoven covering materials
protects the landing from sudden temperature changes
and relapsing frost. To receive seedlings of early
potatoes we used standard seed tubers of 60-80 g
weigh of the following varieties: Agata, Red Scarlett,
Kislovodskiy, Vershininskiy and Sheri. By the time of
planting in the ground, depending on the varieties, the
height of seedling was from 13 to 26 cm, the number
of leaves - 7-10 pieces. Conducting of trial unearthing
of potato showed that on 45 days after transplanting
into the ground (the second decade of May), it is
possible to receive up to 10, 5-11, 4 t/ha (Agata and
Red Scarlett varieties). On 55 days (the third decade of
May), the yield reached 26, 4 t/ha of standard tubers,
and in the first decade of June the yield was from 26, 4
to 50, 6 t/ha. The maximum yield of standard tubers of
50, 6 t/ha was obtained by lifting on 65 days with the
Red Scarlett variety. In the terms of the Astrakhan
region the growing of early potato by seedling method
with using of temporary cover allows to receive the
ultra-early harvest of marketable tubers in the II-III
decade of May
