POTATOES VARIETIES CULTIVATION FOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING

Abstract

One of directions of increase of profitability of industry of production of potato is the industrial processing of tubers. In this case a consumer gets ready-to-cook foods or products prepared to the consumption mainly. The processing industry requires potato varieties with a solids content of 25% and higher. And for the trouble-free providing of the industrial is processing in necessary volumes and the sorts of different terms of ripening are needed in time. Aim hired, executed in 2017 - 2019 on the mountain ground of "Курахский", there was a study of the productivity of sorts and hybrids of potato of different terms of ripening in the conditions of highland of Republic of Dagestan, with the selection of sorts with high maintenance of dry substances and starch, as perspective for the industrial processing. A comparative assessment with the data of the originators of the variety showed that when growing potatoes in the mountainous climatic conditions of the republic, in tubers, the solids content increases by 3–6% depending on the variety. Potato varieties with a solids content of 25% and higher suitable for industrial processing were identified; Desiree - 29.0%, Vector - 27.8%, Primobella - 27.9%, Mother - 26.8%. Their introduction into production is cost-effective, justified and profitable.
