From the very beginning of its activities in Russia, SOLANA has been paying special attention to research work with potato varieties planned for registration and further propagation within the country.
Every year the company conducts ecological and geographical tests, planting its varieties at test sites in various regions of the country. The purpose of such tests is to give an objective assessment of varieties and, based on a set of characteristics, to identify the best of them, to select regions for their cultivation, to indicate the prospects for cultivation and the features of the technologies used.
Since 2021, under a research cooperation agreement, Solana RUS LLC has been conducting such tests in the Leningrad region, together with the St. Petersburg State Agrarian University. The tests include small-plot field experiments on a small experimental field of the Department of Plant Science of St. Petersburg State University with potato varieties of SOLANA selection. The tests include small-plot field experiments on a small experimental field of the Department of Plant Science of St. Petersburg State University with potato varieties of SOLANA selection. Scientists, teachers and senior students are involved in research work.
As part of the tests, the dynamics of plant development, susceptibility to major diseases are studied, the starch content and table and culinary qualities of potatoes are studied, and elements of seed potato production technology are tested using both chemical and biological means of protection. So, for example, in 2022-2023. experiments were launched to test new promising varieties Edison and Natalia, their suitability for production in the conditions of the North-Western region and responsiveness to the actions of biological drugs that reduce the development of diseases and increase the productivity and yield of potatoes were studied.
In the process of research, students gain field experience in cultivating potatoes, learn new elements of production technology, and exchange experience with specialists and agronomists of Solana RUS LLC. Cooperation with the university is expanding every year, new scientific research is planned in the field of primary seed production, including the production of microplants and mini-tubers of potatoes with the provision of the original seed fund of SOLANA breeding varieties.
Also interesting is the experience of working with SOLANA varieties in organic farming. In 2023, on the basis of a private enterprise, two varieties - Queen Anna and Red Lady - were tested for suitability for the production of “organic seeds” (obtained from environmentally friendly plants that are grown without the use of mineral fertilizers, pesticides, growth stimulants and other agrochemicals).
Solana RUS LLC specialists actively use modern world developments in potato production technology. When growing seeds, special attention is paid to agrotechnical and protective measures: production under covering material, regular phyto- and variety cleaning, specialized soil preparation, laboratory studies of planting material, assessment of the agrochemical composition of soils, studies of the phytosanitary condition of fields allocated for the production of seed potatoes. The quality and typicality of the produced seed potatoes are regularly monitored and monitored.
However, the key factor in obtaining a high yield of good quality tubers is the correct choice of variety. The SOLANA line includes modern varieties that are distinguished by high yield, external presentation, plasticity, disease resistance, and with various target areas.
Natalia – an early-ripening, high-yielding table variety with large tubers, intended for early production, growing season – up to 65 days.
Edison – a dual-use variety with tuber marketability of more than 90%, suitable for the production of French fries and has high taste and culinary qualities.
Queen Anne – a standard variety on the table potato market with uniform tubers, characterized by high yield and beautiful appearance. It is resistant to viral and bacterial diseases and is perfectly stored for a long time.
Red Lady – a red-skinned variety with excellent taste and high yield. The tubers have a beautiful shape, quickly form a strong skin and are highly drought-resistant.
