Molyanov Agro Group Initiates Large-Scale Planting in Stavropol Region

Stavropol Krai, Russia – In a significant move towards enhancing potato cultivation practices, Molyanov Agro Group has commenced the planting of the Sevim potato variety across a sprawling 150-hectare area in Stavropol Krai. This strategic initiative marks a pivotal step forward in agricultural innovation, as the Sevim variety promises exceptional qualities suited for both commercial and culinary purposes.

The Sevim potato, renowned for its medium-early maturity and culinary versatility, boasts distinct characteristics that cater to the discerning needs of farmers, agronomists, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders across the agricultural value chain. Characterized by its tall, erect stem structure and medium to large-sized leaves, the Sevim variety exhibits a vibrant light to medium green hue, signifying robust health and vigor.

One of the distinguishing features of the Sevim potato lies in its oval-round tuber shape, adorned with fine to medium-depth eyes. Sporting a golden-yellow skin and flesh, it exudes an enticing visual appeal coupled with a delightful taste profile. With a commendable tuber weight ranging from 104 to 170 grams and starch content between 13.8% to 17.9%, the Sevim variety ensures optimal marketability and culinary excellence.

Moreover, the Sevim potato demonstrates resilience against prevalent diseases and pests, exhibiting resistance to potato cancer, golden potato cyst nematode, and resistance to wrinkled stripe mosaic virus, ensuring enhanced crop protection and yield stability.

The decision by Molyanov Agro Group to adopt the Sevim variety underscores a commitment to agricultural sustainability and productivity, aligning with contemporary trends towards efficient resource utilization and crop resilience. By leveraging the inherent qualities of the Sevim potato, stakeholders can capitalize on market demand while fostering agricultural resilience and profitability.

As the planting season progresses in Stavropol Krai, the cultivation of the Sevim variety heralds a new era of agricultural prosperity and innovation. With its manifold benefits and adaptability, the Sevim potato stands poised to revolutionize potato cultivation practices, offering a promising future for farmers, agronomists, and stakeholders alike.
