Evaluating potato varieties for their suitability for processing into potato chips and french fries under the conditions of Primorsky kray

Significance. Potato products seem to be gaining popularity in Russia, especially potato chips and french fries. The processing of into food reduces storage losses the amount transportation needed allows nutritional potential harnessed fully. However, only a minor part all produced is processed Primorsky kray by small-scale enterprises. lack high quality raw material main reason for that. research aim was evaluate varieties from our collection nursery traits that determine suitability production Materials methods. carried out experimental fields Department breeding horticulture, FSBIS “Federal Scientific Center Agricultural Biotechnology Far East named after A.K. Chaiki”, 2019-2021. One hundred eighty hybrids various origin different maturity groups were used as object. evaluation conducted according guidelines on assessment their with few additions. Results. conditions 2019 most favorable yield formation medium-early (32.3 t/ha), mid-season (31.9 t/ha) medium-late (33.1 varieties. Early observed have highest mean 2021 (34.0 t/ha). Biochemical parameters (the dry matter content) content reducing sugars optimal (22-24 % less than 0.26 %, respectively) Vektar, Zhuravinka, Darnitsa, Pamyati Rogacheva, Lady Rosetta, VR 808. morphological shape tubers, quantity depth eyes) Severnyi, Bryanskii delikates, Danaya, Kurazh, Sante, Dubrava, Nayada made them suitable chips. Varieties Kolette, Narka, Innovator, Vdokhnovenie determined Based complex biochemical parameters, 29 selected 26 approved degree varied 6.4 8 points. Under kray, Tanai, Nayada. Alyaska, Krasa Meshchery, Kazachok generate interest Liga, Vesna Belaya, Udacha, Utenok, Charodei, Ocharovanie, Rikarda appear These harvest good yield.
