Summary:The paper contains findings on comparative evaluation of potato varieties of varied times to maturity bred in Russia and Belarus. The study identified potato varieties that are best adapted to the soil and the climate of the Volga-Vyatka region. Samba and Gulliver varieties deliver the highest yields amongst Russia-bred variety - 53.7 and 50.0 t/ha. These cultivars had the most smooth-skinned tubers without cracks and other damage. Amongst Belarus-bred cultivars, Breeze cultivar stood out - 50.1 t/ha. Samba, Gulliver, Yanka and Zorachka cultivars had the best gustatory qualities. Tuber analysis showed that 82% of Charoite tubers fall into seed grade. Gulliver and Pennant varieties produced large amount of seed tubers - 69.7 and 69% of the total number of tubers, respectively. Samba, Gulliver, Yanka and Zorachka were the tastiest.
