The analysis of the condition of potato growing of the Kostroma Region: problems and prospects

The current state of potato growing in the Kostroma region is analyzed: the dynamics of sown areas, the presence of potato seeds in agricultural enterprises of the region, the reproductive composition of the seed fund of potatoes are examined. At present, there is a tendency to reduce the acreage under potatoes. Along with the decline in crop areas, the gross potato harvest in the Russian Federation as a whole decreased. Despite the reduction in areas and gross harvest, the quality of seed potatoes has remained at a consistently high level. In agricultural enterprises of the Kostroma region, on average, the percentage of conditional potato seeds was 96% in three years. Currently, the main areas are occupied by imported varieties of potatoes, in the first ten there is only one domestic variety. In the Kostroma region of the 48 potato varieties planted, only 16 varieties of potato of domestic selection. Out of the total volume of planted seeds, 13% are found in the Kostroma region, and 12.2% in the Russian Federation as a whole. In the Kostroma Region in 2015, the leading variety in sown areas was a variety Udacha - the success of the selection of All-Russian Research Institute of potato n.a. A.G. Lorch - 12.1%, in 2016 and 2017 years the leading variety was the variety Gala the success of the selection of Norex Norika Exportgesellschaft MBH (Germany) - 12.3% and 10,9% respectively. The Government of the Russian Federation is focused on the quality of seed potatoes and overcoming the problem of import substitution. The development of special measures should increase the competitive ability of domestic varieties of potatoes and support domestic science and producers.
