Agriculture, as an industry that contributes to ensuring the country’s food security, is also an important component of replenishing the state budget. Agricultural production has the second position in terms of the share of export products among all sectors of the country’s economy, and with its assistance there is a significant impact on the development of processing and other industries that provide the agricultural sector with means of production.

Potatoes are among the main crop in agricultural production and the potato industry is and will be one of the priority. Potatoes occupy the lion’s share of the population’s income, are practically the main source of feeding cattle and other farm animals, and also have great prospects for industrial processing, which gives great prospects for entering foreign markets.

The article provides a literature review of innovative developments by domestic and foreign scientists of the technological process of growing and increasing gross potato production. The biological requirements of potatoes for growing conditions, optimization of the nutrition system, the main and foliar application of organic and mineral fertilizers, biostimulants based on seaweed extracts, etc. are presented. The problematic issues of potato growing technology are substantiated.

Keywords: potatoes, variety, fertilizer, biological properties, foliar feeding, biostimulant, extract, seaweed.
