Despite the fact that in some areas rainy weather destroyed significant areas of potatoes, a shortage of this crop is not expected in the republic. On the contrary, precipitation played into the hands of someone. Productivity exceeds expected forecasts. Virus-free potatoes are especially good at fields. How are the villagers doing today and how much is the kilogram of one of the most popular products in the markets?
It’s not time to dig up the potatoes, but you need to check the condition of the tubers. This is an experimental plot of the field. In spring, Muhamatgarey Batyrov planted meristem potatoes on a half-hectare square. The seed material purified from viruses and diseases was grown in laboratory conditions.
Muhamatgarey Batyrov, head of the peasant farm “Unish”: “The healthier the person, the larger, stronger, more powerful. So is the potato. She has a larger harvest, greater shelf life, better taste. Well, it’s more useful for the body, probably, if you eat clean and healthy potatoes».
A good marketable potato grew out of large pea-sized seeds. True, they do not intend to sell it. Leave for reproduction, because the potato farm. 30 hectares of land are occupied by this culture. In the laboratory, they also produce virus-free seeds at the Research Institute of Agriculture of Bashkortostan. After all, this is a very acute issue, and the republic needs high-quality planting material.
Ildar Mardanshin, Head of the Laboratory for Selection and Seed Production of Potatoes: “An approximate amount of high-quality planting material at the elite level, somewhere around 2,5-3 thousand tons for the republic. Now, unfortunately, there is an opportunity to bring about a hundred. That is, we currently cover no more than 5-10% of the demand».
Despite the lack of high-quality planting material, everything will be in order with marketable potatoes. Harvest promises to be good this year, they say at a research institute. In total, in the republic, culture covers an area of about 100 thousand hectares, and only two thousand of them are land of agricultural enterprises. The rest is grown in private courtyards. Fayaz Atnagulov was lucky this year. On 25 acres, a resident of the Karmaskalinsky district expects a good potato crop. With his products, he has already entered one of the Ufa markets.
Fayaz Atnagulov, a resident of Karmaskalinsky district:I came from the Karmaskalinsky region, the village of Savaleevo. I brought potatoes about three hundred kilograms, I guess. Six bags. The implementation is, let's say, good».
One to ten. The result exceeded expectations. From one planted, Fayaz Atnagulov received 10 buckets of potatoes. The secret of such success is again in breeding work and constant updating of seed material.
Potato harvest 2017 has already appeared on the Ufa markets. Prices per kilogram of tubers range from 20 to 50 rubles. A little expensive, but the townspeople should not worry. Autumn fairs will begin soon. There you can make stocks for the winter at an affordable price.
