Potato variety Bankir belongs to medium-early table types, ready for harvest 60-80 days after planting. The plant is of medium height, semi-upright, with medium-sized green leaves and weak anthocyanic flower coloration. Tubers have elongated-oval shape with small eyes, light-yellow skin and flesh. Average tuber weight ranges from 70 to 153 grams, and starch content varies between 14.9-17.2%. The variety is distinguished by good taste qualities, rated as good to excellent, and versatility in culinary use. Bankir is characterized by high yield, reaching 135 to 390 centners per hectare, significantly exceeding yields of standard varieties Nevsky and Gala. Each plant produces 10 to 15 tubers, with total weight of 3.5-4 kg. Tubers have high commercial quality — about 94%, and storability reaches 90-93%, ensuring long-term storage without quality loss. The variety grows well on various soil types under regular watering and fertilization. Bankir has strong immunity and resistance to several diseases and pests, including potato scab and golden cyst nematode. According to research, the variety is susceptible to late blight on foliage and tubers, but resistant to crinkly and striped mosaic. Due to its hardiness, high yield, and excellent taste, Bankir is a reliable choice for cultivation in both private gardens and commercial agriculture.
