A bit of history

The product of the famous German breeding, the Vineta cultivar, is a canteen, which means successful overcoming in the process of development of a number of different laboratory-field studies and compliance with the world standard requirements. Note that when creating a variety of Vineta was really carried out a huge selection work. In this potato culture are concentrated the most valuable qualities inherent in the ideal product. Variety of potato Vineta, photo and description of which are presented in the publication, is unique and at the same time unpretentious. In Russia, it was cultivated only from the beginning of the two thousand, but during this time, thanks to its high taste and ease of care, the variety became extremely popular and even acquired fans who prefer dishes from it to all other varieties of potatoes.

Potatoes, Vineta's variety: description

Tubers of plants with flesh of characteristic cream or yellow color are enclosed in a peel only on tone darker and covered with hardly appreciable gentle mesh. The shape of root crops is round-oval, slightly oblong. The average weight of the tubers varies from 70 to 95 g, the maximum weight of the tuber reaches 130-140 g. The special pride of breeders is small, almost invisible eyes, and in addition, the lack of flaws both outside and inside the tuber. In them there are no cracks, darkening or any other defects. The content of starchy substances is 13-15%.

Vineta is a sort of potato that forms an upright spreading large bush reaching 0.7 meters. The leaves are light green with a slight waviness along the edge. Flowers - small, with traditionally white corolla. A distinctive feature is the friendly formation of almost one-dimensional tubers. On one bush they are formed 10-12 pieces. The yield of commercial root crops is very high and reaches 97%.

Characteristics of the variety

Vineta is a sort of early maturing potato. He has a whole list of advantages, such as:

• early maturity - the vegetative period is 70-75 days from the moment of planting, but 45-50 days after germination, a young crop can be harvested;

• high yields - Vineta gives stable-rich harvests, from one hectare it is collected up to 400 centners;

• Excellent drought tolerance, which has already been evaluated by vegetable growers in the Central Asian regions, where seasonal rains do not spoil vegetable growers;

• Excellent taste qualities;

• resistance to mechanical damage;

• good curing capacity, reaching 90%, which is rarely seen in early species.

Pay special attention to the taste characteristics of the variety. On a five-point scale, the taste of this vegetable reaches a score of 4.3 points, which is considered very high. Cream yellow flesh Vinety is famous for not changing the color even after heat treatment, and the fried slices do not crumble and keep the shape well. When cooking, the average friability of the tuber is observed. The most common application of this potato is cooking deep-fried and frying.

Resistance to diseases

One of the significant advantages of the described variety is enviable resistance to traditional species diseases and a high level of resistance to many pests that complicate the growth of Solanaceous cultures. Thus, Vineta is a potato variety that is circumvented by such misfortunes as a potato golden nematode, wrinkled and banded mosaic, black leg, cancer, brown spot, viral twisting of leaves, etc. Such immunity to various pathogens significantly facilitates care for vegetable growers.

The only exception is phytophthorosis, a serious disease capable of destroying many species from the Solanaceae family. Variety Vineta is moderately susceptible to this disease.

Care

Potatoes - the grade of Vineta, reviews of experienced vegetable growers about which unites the common opinion that it is really promising - has significant advantages and does not require additional protective treatments, unpretentious and drought-resistant.

The main courtship measures are weed removal and soil loosening. As a rule, before the flowering of potatoes, twice the hilling: the first time after the sprouted sprouts reach 15-20 cm, and the second - 1.5-2 weeks after the first. Hilling is a very effective procedure, increasing the aeration of the soil and increasing air access to tied root crops. During the whole vegetation period, the ridges with the planted potatoes must be weeded, removing the weed grass and fragments of its roots.

Features of the variety

A characteristic feature of Vinety is independence from the agrotechnical and climatic conditions of the area. The same stably high yields this vegetable shows on all types of soils, but it must be taken into account that the excess nitrogen in them affects the properties of the potato in the best way: the development and maturation of tubers slows down, and the yield is preserved, that is, the keeping quality is significantly reduced.

So, Vineta is a sort of potato (see photo in the review), which is close to ideal, not subject to various viral and infectious diseases and having high taste qualities.
