Abstract
One of the promising areas for the potato business and a potential for increasing its overall profitability is industrial processing. As a result of it, consumers are offered semifinished or ready-to-eat products. The purpose of this work, which was carried out in 2017–2019 at the Kurakhsky mountain test site, was to investigate the productivity and quality indicators of potato cultivars and hybrids in the high mountains of the Republic of Dagestan and to identify cultivars with high dry-matter and starch content as promising for industrial processing. The study was carried out using 22 potato cultivars of domestic and foreign breeding. According to the results of field studies, the following cultivars with high productivity were identified: Zhukovsky Ranny, Impala, Irbitsky, Krepysh, Manifesto, Nevsky, Spiridon, and Udacha, with yields of 33.7–38.0 t/ha. Comparative assessment using the data of the originators of the cultivars and the data of our studies showed that the solids content in tubers increases by 3–6% depending on the cultivar when growing potatoes in the mountainous climatic conditions of the republic. As a result of our study, cultivars with high solids content (more than 25%) were identified: Alena, Vector, Gioconda, Desiree, Matushka, Nart, Primobella, Predgorny, and Rossi. This investigation showed that the mountainous province of the republic is characterized by favorable soil and climatic conditions for the cultivation of potatoes with a wide range of applications, both food-related and processing ones. The most suitable cultivars for industrial processing, taking into account their quality indicators, were identified.
