Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of the variety include:

• pleasant taste;
• high nutrient content;
• early amicable ripening;
• excellent yield;
• harvested potatoes are well kept;
• seed material does not degenerate;
• drought tolerance;
• tolerance for temperature changes;
• immunity to major diseases.

Deficiencies in the variety is not seen. To increase the yield, it is recommended to carefully select seed with preliminary treatment, organize irrigation and top dressing.

Features of growing

Like other early varieties, Taisia ​​is often grown from seed. A good harvest with this method can be obtained only in a year, in the first season the tubers will be small, but quite suitable as planting material.

At reproduction by tubers, seed material is pickled, dried, treated with growth stimulants. Potatoes must be germinated before planting.. For the cultivation of selected specimens with the strongest I bright shoots.

Planted tubers need when the soil warms up to 10 degrees. Delay with planting is not recommended, in spring the soil is saturated with natural moisture, guaranteeing a friendly growth of potatoes. Humus and wood ash are introduced into the soil. Potatoes are planted at a distance of 20 cm from each other, the row spacing is 60 cm.

Potato is sensitive to moisture levels. In the rainy season, the appearance of rot is possible, a long drought reduces the number of tubers, they turn out to be small. The ideal option is the organization of a drip irrigation system that regulates the level of moisture.

Wood ash saves from stagnation of water. During the planting season 1-2 times spud, while destroying weeds.

The first tubers can be undermined 45 days after planting. But the main harvest should be harvested at the end of the growing season, at this time the potato becomes especially tasty and useful.
