Summer residents grow a variety of potato varieties on their plots. They may differ in terms of ripening, degree of disease resistance, taste quality. One of the best is the Adretta potato, a mid-season variety bred by German breeders.
About 20 years ago, he made a real revolution in the idea of Russian gardeners about delicious potatoes. However, when cooked, it softens a little. Therefore, it is better to use the "paired" method.
Now a lot of different types of delicious potatoes have been bred. But for about 15 years, the Adretta variety has been the standard in this regard. It may have either slightly yellowish or very yellow flesh. Mashed potatoes from such potatoes have an unusually pleasant-looking golden color, as if rustic butter has been added to it. Before the appearance of this variety, the yellow color of the flesh was considered a sign of a fodder crop.
Adretta is a potato variety with very large tubers. The weight of one can reach 180 grams. This is another of its advantages when cooking.
In addition, the tubers have very small, almost imperceptible "eyes" located on the surface of the skin. This quality can greatly reduce cleaning waste. The skin itself is rough, scaly. Tubers can be either round or oval. Starch content - up to 17%, protein - up to 2.2%.
You can grow this plant in almost any soil. Adretta is a potato variety that is completely undemanding to the quality of care. However, if the soil is well fertilized under it and watered regularly, much higher yields can be obtained. The stem of this variety is erect, quite high and well leafy. Flowering begins in mid-summer. It is very abundant and produces many green berries as a result. Flowers are white.
Adretta is a potato variety that requires some rules to be followed when harvesting. The fact is that if you dig up the tubers after the death of the stems, their keeping quality will decrease significantly. In this case, the likelihood of developing umbilical rot is high. Therefore, potatoes should be dug up during the beginning of the drying of the tops. Then the tubers will overwinter well. It is best to store them in a cool, dark room - a cellar or basement.
Adretta is a potato variety that is fairly resistant to late blight. Almost never gets cancer. It is also very rarely infected with viral infections. Of course, varieties in nature that are absolutely not susceptible to damage by such diseases do not exist. However, Adretta is one of the most stable inthis plan. Due to the rather early ripening period, it can be grown both in the southern regions and in the middle lane. It is well suited as a vegetable crop and for cultivation in Siberia.
When choosing potatoes, gardeners usually pay attention to yield. The higher it is, the better, of course. In this regard, Adretta is a potato variety that will not let you down. From one hundred square meters you can harvest up to 400 kg of crop. By planting this wonderful potato on the site, you can achieve very, very good results.
