Variety description
Domestic selection. Included in the State Register. Zoned everywhere. The largest yields are in
in the middle lane of the .Prefers soils: loamy, sandy.Mid-early variety, after 90 days from planting, the tubers reach marketability.
Bush, sprawling, low. Stems erect. The leaves are medium sized, light green. The flowers are white with a bright orange center. The average weight of one tuber is 130 g.

Preparation for planting
It is pleasant to get excellent tuber harvest in the fall, but you will have to work hard before the pleasant moment arrives. Nevsky potatoes will thank if all cultivation rules are observed:
- prepared the soil;
- seed treated;
- maintained optimal landing pattern ;
- on time loosening, hilling, watering, weeding;
- fertilizers were used.

. Soil
Autumn is the time to prepare a place for spring planting of Nevsky potatoes. It is important when choosing a site to observe crop rotation. A change of place is needed every 3 years .
Best predecessors:
- carrots;
- beets;
- cucumbers;
- onion;
- cabbage.
Recommended application rates per square meter of average fertility field:
- organic matter( humus, manure, compost) - 1 bucket;
- double superphosphate - 25 g;
- ash - 1 tbsp.;
- ammonium nitrate - 20 g;
- potassium chloride - 15 g.

. Plowing of the earth to a depth of not less than 30 cm should be carried out in spring. The land should stand before planting, therefore, to plow( dig) in advance, and not the day before.
Tuber preparation
Autumn. We select tubers for seeds from the most productive, healthy potato bushes Nevsky. Preference is given to potatoes weighing from 60 g to 80. When visually inspected on potato Nevsky there should be no mechanical damage, 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 .

. Planting
. Any method of planting will do: in the wells, grooves, in the crest. The main thing is to stick to the scheme: the step in the row is 35, the spacing between the rows is 60 cm.
This variety categorically does not accept this, as it is bad for returning spring frosts. The ideal temperature for planting at a depth of 10 cm is +8 degrees .
Put a hole( groove) with a depth of 8 to 15 cm: a handful of humus;
- ;
- ash -2 -2 Art.l;
- slightly crushed eggshell.

Watering scheme
We look at the table and follow the proposed scheme.

root Loosening
First loosening, and at the same time weeding, conduct 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 inter-row spacing should be carried out, respectively, a week after the first hilling( at a height of stems 15 cm), a week after 2 hilling( the flowering period, rows are not closed).

Reproduction
From seeds you can grow your seed potatoes. The obtained seed tubers must be stored separately to avoid infection with viruses, bacteria, fungi.
Next year you will be able to get high-quality potatoes for food.
Top dressing
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: mullein infusion - 0.5 liters and urea - 1 tbsp.l
- Buds are formed: ash - 3 tbsp.l, sodium sulfate - 1 tbsp.l
- Potatoes in bloom: mullein infusion - 1 tbsp, superphosphate - 2 tbsp.l

Diseases and pests of the
variety. The crop drops when growing potatoes on pests( nematodes, wireworms, and medvedka) contaminated 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 a soap solution into the holes. From the wireworm saves: crop rotation, planting siderats, treatment with Actellic.
- Scab silver .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.
- Powder 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 since 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 the spring at a temperature of 2-3 degrees Nevsky is stored without loss of presentation in bags or boxes( plastic, wooden).
Nevsky potato 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.
