Belarus appears the country with optimal conditions for potato production, occupying the 8th place in the world on total gross yield of potato production and being a leader of potato production per capita. Realization of produced potato appears a serious problem for the Republic of Belarus because of severe quality specifications of ready products, marketable conditions and package. Soil adhesion to tubers is one of the most serious problems of potato vendibility. The authors of the article consider some theoretical aspects of influence of potato cultivation technology and soil characteristics on soil adhesion to tubers as major factors, determining operating efficiency of pile separation devices and tools of a machine for pre-sale potato cleansing. The assessment criterion of soil adhesion to potatoes on the basis of the Rozin-Rammler equation parameters is suggested. It will allow substantiating the required fractional structure of a soil layer and a choice of technological operations in the process of soil cultivation.
