The clove flesh is white-cream, with a sharp taste, making this garlic an excellent choice for culinary use, including dish seasoning, preparation of spices, marinades, and pickles.

The Toguchinsky variety was bred as a result of long-term selection by the Siberian Institute of Plant Breeding and Selection, using a local population, which ensures its adaptation to the climatic conditions of the Novosibirsk region. For successful cultivation, autumn planting is recommended at the end of September with a scheme of 30 cm by 4-5 cm, as well as regular watering and soil loosening. The harvest is collected between July 15 and 25, after which the bulbs are stored at a temperature of 18-20 °C, which contributes to their high storage capacity and preservation during the winter period.

The main advantages of the variety include high disease resistance, frost hardiness, stable productivity, and resistance to degeneration. Additionally, the variety is distinguished by an attractive shape and color of bulbs, which increases its market value. Toguchinsky garlic is suitable for cultivation in Siberian climatic conditions and is a reliable choice for farmers and gardeners seeking to obtain a quality and tasty product.
