The potato variety Kazachok is a medium-late, table-type variety of Russian selection, intended for cultivation in various climatic conditions, including the Far Eastern regions. The plant is tall, stem-type with a spreading form, green leaves of medium and large size, and large flower heads. Tubers are round in shape with small eyes, and both skin and flesh are yellow. The mass of marketable tubers varies from 80 to 116 grams, and starch content is 12.6-13.9%, ensuring excellent taste qualities and versatility in culinary use, including soups, salads, and frying. The variety is characterized by high yield, averaging 120-256 centners per hectare, with maximum yields reaching up to 385 centners. Kazachok is resistant to potato cancer pathogen, as well as shows resistance to phytophthora and Colorado beetle, significantly simplifying care and reducing crop losses. However, the variety is susceptible to golden potato cyst nematode and requires regular spraying for disease protection. Tubers have high storability — about 94% — ensuring long-term storage without loss of quality. The Kazachok potato is recommended to be planted from mid-May to early June, when soil temperature is not below 13 degrees. The variety is convenient for cultivation and harvesting, making it attractive for farmers and gardeners. The number of tubers per plant ranges from 6 to 10, contributing to a stable and high-quality yield. Due to its characteristics and adaptability, the Kazachok variety is an excellent choice for those who value high productivity and good taste qualities of potatoes.
