Potato Nevsky - the best variety of domestic breeding medium term ripening. In production for over 30 years, grown on an industrial scale and on private farms throughout the territory of Russia from Moscow region to Siberia.
Grade Nevsky is still in demand. Characteristics of Nevsky potatoes have not lost their relevance for several decades.

Preparing for landing
It is nice to get excellent harvest in the fall of tubers, but before the onset of a pleasant moment you have to work hard. Nevsky potatoes will thank if all the rules of cultivation are observed:
- prepared soil;
- seed treated;
- sustained optimal landing pattern;
- during loosening, hilling, irrigation, weeding;
- fertilizers were used.
The soil
Autumn is the time to prepare the site for the spring planting of Nevsky potatoes. It is important when choosing a site to observe crop rotation. Relocation is needed every 3 years..
Best predecessors:
- carrot;
- beet;
- cucumbers;
- bow;
- cabbage.
Recommended application rates per square meter of average fertility field:
- Organic (humus, manure, compost) - 1 bucket;
- double superphosphate - 25 g;
- ash - 1 tbsp .;
- ammonium nitrate - 20 g;
- potassium chloride - 15 g.
Plowing land to depth not less than 30 cm hold in the spring. The land should stand before planting, therefore, to plow (dig) in advance, not the day before.
Tuber preparation
Autumn. We select tubers for seeds from the most fruitful, healthy bushes of potato Nevsky. Preference is given to potatoes weighing from 60 g to 80. When viewed visually on Nevsky potatoes, there should be no mechanical damage or signs of disease.
Spring. We get (buy) seeds no later than 2 weeks before planting. We carry out the treatment of diseases. Keep the Nevsky potato tubers in the solution of potassium permanganate. The color of the solution is pink, the soaking time is 3 minutes.
Before planting, put the boxes with seed potatoes into the room with air temperature. 15-18 degrees.
Landing
Any landing method will do.: in the holes, grooves, in the ridge. The main thing is to stick to the scheme: the step in the row is 35, the spacing between rows is 60 cm.
This sort of categorically does not accept this, as it is bad for the return spring frosts. The ideal temperature for planting at a depth of 10 cm is +8 degrees.
In the hole (groove) with a depth of 8 to 15 cm put:
- a handful of humus;
- ash-2 tbsp. l;
- a little crushed eggshell.
Irrigation scheme
We look at the table and adhere to the proposed scheme.
| Phase | Water (l) per 1 bush | Way |
| When landing | 3 | On top of the soil |
| Shoots sprout | 3 | Along the surface |
| 2 weeks later (before flowering) | 3 | Under the root |
| Two weeks later (tuber formation phase) | 3 | Under the root |
Loosening
The first loosening, and at the same time weeding, hold the next day after 2 watering. Loosen not deep. The meaning of this operation is the prevention of earth crusts, removal of weeds.
The second and third, deeper loosening of the aisles, respectively, a week after the first hilling (at a height of 15 cm stems), a week after 2 hilling (the flowering period, the rows are not closed).
Breeding
From seeds you can grow your seed potatoes. The resulting seed tubers need to be stored separatelyto avoid infection with viruses, bacteria, fungus.
Next year it will be possible to get high-quality potatoes for food.
Feedings
There are norms developed by professionals. It makes sense to adhere to their recommendations.
Development Phase and Components for 10 L Nutrient Solution:
- After the first watering: infusion of mullein - 0.5 liters and urea - 1 tbsp. l
- Buds are formed: ash - 3 tbsp. l, sodium sulfate - 1 tbsp. l
- Potatoes bloom: mullein infusion - 1 tbsp., Superphosphate - 2 tbsp. l
Diseases and pests of the variety
Crop falls when growing potatoes on pests infected (nematodes, wireworms, medvedka) soil. To destroy the plants infected with a nematode, add organic fertilizers (manure, humus) to the soil, observe crop rotation.
You can fight with Medvedka by pouring the soap solution into the holes. Rescues from the wireworm: crop rotation, planting siderats, treatment with Actellic.
- Silver scab. Formation of light gray formations with black patches. For treatment use. Phyto Plus - for 3L 1 packet, process the seeds before planting, the bushes during flowering according to the description.
- Osporoz. Root crops form black spots.
- Powdery scab. Formed spots on the skin of a light color, cracked skin.For the treatment using ammonium sulfate at 0.5 liters of solution per plant, the composition of the solution: water 10 l, ammonium sulfate - 2 tbsp. l

Storage
Undermining for summer consumption can be from mid july. The harvesting period for winter storage is the third decade of August. Dig in dry weather, dry the tubers in the sun, and only then drop into the cellar.
Until spring at a temperature of 2-3 degrees Nevsky is stored without loss of presentation in bags or boxes (plastic, wooden).
Potato Nevsky is convenient to have in the collection of varieties. Early ripening and the possibility of long-term storage in winter with high yields are the main arguments in favor of the variety. Proper farming will allow you to use your seed for a long time.
