During the last 40 years mostly local varieties have been cultivated in Estonia, because they are more adaptable and resistant to diseases than foreign ones. The trial was carried out at the Jogeva Plant Breeding Institute in 1996...1998. Recommended local and foreign potato varieties from medium, medium late and late group were compared. Yield, starch content and resistance to late blight of better local varieties was better than of the foreign varieties. Selection for cultivation a potato variety should be proceed from using purpose, growing condition, yield, starch content, storability, cooking quality, resistance to mechanical damage, late blight, nematode and other diseases
