Selection of potato varieties adapted for growing by sprouts

These article studies indicators of sprouts as seedlings and selects grades and mass of planting material of potato, which ensure maximum yield of sprouts, and develops technologies for the cultivation of potato by sprouts. According to the strategy of actions of development of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2017–2021, as essential tasks in agriculture are optimization of sown areas and crop structure, application of advanced agro-technologies and, raising the level of crop yields, increasing the volumes of fruits and vegetable production. Pronounced viral diseases were determined visually, latent forms of infection were analyzed by a serological method, as well as with the help of enzyme immunoassays. During growing varieties of potato sprouts, they differed in the passage of the phases of growth and development, compared with the planting of tubers, their growing season was extended by 2–5 days. It is also crucial to improve primary and elite seed production, development and introduction of technologies, which provide high yields. The economic efficiency of growing sprouts of selected potato varieties was determined by the method of the All-Russian Research Institute of Potato Farming.
