Already this year, local farmers will conduct an experimental planting of tubers
During the recent visit of the delegation of the Astrakhan region to Belarus, a number of agreements were reached, including in the field of agriculture.
Thus, according to the Minister of Agriculture and Fishing Industry of the region Ruslan Pashayev, nine varieties of Belarusian potatoes were selected during the trip, which are most suitable for Astrakhan soils and temperature conditions.
This year, an experimental planting of potatoes will be carried out. This will allow local farmers to develop technology, as well as to study how plants will adapt in the Astrakhan region. Now the tubers are in the process of germination. And as soon as weather conditions permit, they will be dropped off.
