Bereginya

Technical Profile of the 'Berehynia' Variety

Developed by the Polissia Research Station named after O.M. Zasukhin, this table potato variety is engineered for consistent yield and commercial reliability. The technical advantage of 'Berehynia' lies in its optimized vegetation cycle and high resistance to major soil-borne diseases.

Tuber Morphology and Physiology

For industrial farming, tuber geometry is critical for mechanical harvesting and marketability. 'Berehynia' features an elongated-oval shape; combined with smooth skin and shallow eyes, it minimizes mechanical damage and processing waste. Tuber weight averages 50–130 grams, fitting standard retail requirements.

Resistance and Phytosanitary Potential

The variety shows a robust resistance profile against biological threats, effectively reducing the need for intensive pesticide programs:

• Potato Wart: Full genetic immunity.
• Golden Potato Cyst Nematode: The variety suppresses the pest population in the soil.
• Common Scab: High resistance ensures an attractive skin finish even under stressful soil conditions.
• Viral Diseases: High tolerance to mosaic viruses ensures stable yield potential across multiple production cycles.

With a starch content of 12–13%, this is a versatile table potato with moderate boiling characteristics. A maturation period of 85–95 days allows for precise logistical planning during the harvest season.
