Mayak

The potato variety 'Mayak' is a medium-early table variety developed by specialists of the Ural Research Institute of Agriculture. It is characterized by high yield, ranging from 115 to 395 centners per hectare, and multi-tuberous growth, which contributes to a significant number of tubers per plant. The tubers have an oval shape with red skin and light flesh, making them attractive to consumers and convenient for culinary use.

This potato variety exhibits high resistance to a range of diseases and pests, including golden cyst nematode, potato scab, and mosaic virus (crinkly and striped). Additionally, 'Mayak' shows resistance to virus S and moderate susceptibility to other viruses, ensuring stable yields and tuber quality. Plants of medium height with green leaves and large flowers adapt well to various soil-climatic conditions, especially in the Volga-Vyatka region and other areas with adequate moisture.

Potato 'Mayak' is ideal for various cooking methods, including frying, deep-frying, and baking, thanks to its structure and flavor qualities. The variety is easy to grow, tolerates sunny locations well, and has good storability, allowing for long-term storage without quality loss. All these characteristics make 'Mayak' a popular choice for both farmers and home gardeners.
