Marsianka potato variety is a new Russian table-type variety with red skin and red flesh that retains its color even after boiling. Tubers are fairly large, elongated-oval with small eyes, average weight of marketable tubers is about 98 grams. Starch content in tubers reaches 17%, ensuring good texture and taste qualities during cooking. The variety is medium-late, maturation period ranges from 80 to 100 days, and market yield reaches 320 centners per hectare, making it attractive for cultivation both in private households and for commercial purposes.
Marsianka is distinguished by high resistance to common potato diseases such as late blight and viral infections, as well as low fertilizer requirements, which simplifies care and reduces cultivation costs. Thanks to its antioxidant content and rich vitamin-mineral composition, including vitamins C, B1, B2, B6, as well as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, and iron, this variety is recommended for dietary nutrition and contributes to maintaining health.
The variety's feature is its adaptability and resilience to various climatic conditions, as confirmed by successful experiments on growing potatoes under conditions similar to Martian ones. This demonstrates the high viability and universality of the Marsianka variety, making it promising for cultivation in diverse regions and conditions.
