Dutch potato varieties

Potatoes are one of the main vegetables grown in the fields and summer cottages of our country. There are many varieties of potatoes that differ from each other in various characteristics.

Recently, summer residents have begun to plant more and more Dutch potato varieties. This is due to the fact that these varieties are less prone to various diseases and produce a fairly high and high-quality harvest.

Particularly popular are Dutch potato varieties such as Mona Lisa, Yarla, Cleopatra, Ukama, Asterix, Frisia and many others.

Compared to other varieties, Mona Lisa is considered the most resistant to various viral diseases. At the same time, the yield is very high; from one bush you can get two kilograms of potatoes or more. But this variety will not survive in ordinary soil. It needs nitrogen fertilizers.

Yarla is an early potato variety. Its advantage is that it does not require additional fertilizer. Any soil is suitable for its cultivation. The yield of Yarla is the same as that of the previous variety.

Cleopatra is considered an early and high-yielding variety. One potato bush produces more than 2.5 kilograms of harvest. To grow this variety, sandy or clay soil is required. Cleopatra's only drawback is her instability to scab.

Ukama is also an early and high-yielding variety. At the same time, it is very resistant to various potato viruses.

The Asterix variety is characterized by high yield, excellent taste and long shelf life.

Frisia is a mid-season Dutch potato variety. It is characterized by high immunity to various potato diseases and good yield (about two kilograms per bush).
