Which potato variety is best?
Tell me, which varieties of potatoes are not too troublesome and proven? I would like not to water often, minimal care. In general, I kind of planted it and forgot about it.

The type of planted and forgotten will never happen, any plant requires care, especially if you want to get a harvest. You can plant and forget weeds. In order to offer you something, you would first tell the region where you live. For different climatic zones, a different potato variety is unpretentious.
Eh, I was so hoping that there were such varieties)) It’s just that today’s potatoes are kind of tedious to care for - weeds are constant. Dacha in the Moscow region.
Well, you are some kind of aborigine. You want to grow everything without effort. No, of course, something can grow, but you will have to look for the harvest in tall thickets of grass.
There are no potatoes that don’t need to be looked after. There are simply different varieties, with different tastes. I personally love potato varieties that cook well.
No, all plants must be looked after otherwise there will be no harvest. The procedure is standard: regular watering, weeding, fertilizers. Good early varieties "Timo", "Impala". These are the ones I know about. And there are so many of them.
I like the Krepysh and Red Scarlet varieties. This is especially the second variety, it is drought-resistant and can withstand all weather adversity.
When choosing a potato variety, you should also be guided by the region.After all, each region practically has its own varieties. I like the Odyssey potato variety, and it stores well too.
I agree that the principle of planting and forgetting won’t work with potatoes, this crop is too capricious. In my opinion, the best variety “Nevsky” is both productive and tasty.
I would like to object, we still have Nevsky from our grandmother - the tubers are small, tasteless variety. We were looking for new varieties, found the most delicious variety - Gala, a Dutch variety, crumbly and very tasty potatoes grew, the tubers were all beautiful - one to one. We found it in the online store "Seeds of the Urals", delivered it that year, and this year we also ordered Red Scarlet to try.
But I don’t agree that potatoes require a lot of care. By the way, this has nothing to do with the variety. Our entire seasonal care consists of hilling (once, maximum twice), weeding (also maybe twice) and spraying against Colorado potato beetles. I consider watering, especially regularly, a waste of time; at most we can put a sprinkler on the arable land at night, and then only in dry times.
We spend a lot of effort on potatoes. Either the landing area is large, or we devote a lot of time to it. And 3-4 soil treatments, 4-5 sprayings, and be sure to water throughout the growing season. We prefer the Scarlet variety.
I found an article about potatoes
A lot has been written like this, I learned a lot for myself, well, at least I didn’t know about the fact that you can use sprouts from the eyes. I used to throw only whole potatoes.
Whatever one may say, the potato harvest depends on the planting location and soil, no matter what variety you plant.Potatoes will not grow in the shade, nor in the sand.
We plant Visa - a small fruit, a lot on one bush. All the same size. Doesn't get soggy when cooking. And we love Crystal. This is a larger variety, but the yield is slightly smaller.
Which variety is better? interest Ask. I would like to purchase seed potato seedlings Courage. They write that they can be planted on both fertile and not very rich soil. An early ripening variety, suitable for making delicious chips. Has anyone encountered this variety? What can you say?
I like the best varieties Lorch and Ufimka http://wp.me/p4vrNX-18k
And someone tried to plant potatoes not in the standard way, but with the help of seeds, I’ve heard about this more than once, but I’m very afraid of wasting my time. They say this results in much more harvest.
I like the Lorch variety. Very soft and tasty
We plant lemongrass; it is not a fancy type of potato and is very tasty; it usually cooks quickly. And in order for your potatoes to grow without parasites, they need to be treated with fungicides and insecticides before planting in the ground.
Lately I have been choosing to plant the Red Scarlet variety, as it has excellent taste, stores well in winter and can withstand heavy rains. In damp soil, white potato varieties turn into mush, but this variety remains intact and does not rot.
There is real confusion with these varieties. People rename them so often that the names change at the speed of light. I like the Kubanka (medium) variety, but a month ago I found out that others call it Periwinkle. That is why you can not advise, but confuse a person.
I like the Rosara variety - pink, very tasty potatoes with yellow flesh.These are early ripening potatoes, they can be safely dug in August, which allows the crop to dry in good weather, plus it has a high yield. Or you can plant Lyubava, a pink potato with white flesh, it will generally grow in 50 - 60 days, the Colorado potato beetle does not touch it, but it is slightly less tasty.
I like the red look of Red Scarlet potatoes and the white look of Gala potatoes. These are early varieties. But no matter what kind of potato you choose, it needs care. This includes weeding, pest control, if necessary, and watering.
There is no such thing as “plant and forget” in gardening. Care, work and love do wonders. As for the potato variety, my favorite is Santa, very tasty, productive and does not require frequent changes of seed.
Without care, you won’t get a harvest even from the most ideal variety. I like the Adretta and Detskoselsky varieties, but in recent years I haven’t planted potatoes at all. The mole cricket destroys almost half of the crop.
I planted Idaho for myself, not a bad potato, https://fermer.blog/bok/ogorod/kartofel/sorta-kartofelya/ranniy-kartofel/2599-kartofel-aydaho.html here, if you are interested
At one time, when I planted potatoes (I don’t plant them now, it’s not economically profitable), I planted frost-resistant varieties, like Solyanum, in different variations, or varieties of the Akaulna family. Maintenance is minimal and frost resistant.
“White Rose” is a very good potato variety and tasty, we always plant several rows of it, it bears fruit well, several in one bush, their number is usually greater than that of other varieties.
We like the Rodrigo variety; the potatoes are very tasty and keep well until the next harvest. The yield of this variety is also good, but any variety of potato requires care, weeding, hilling and watering. There is no such thing as planting and forgetting.
