Potato is distinguished by its good adaptation to agroclimatic conditions, which provides a good opportunity to obtain early and late products. The study area - the village of Ajameti (104 m above sea level) is included in zone I of the agroclimatic zones of Imereti, which extends from sea level to an altitude of 20-300 m, where the sum of active temperatures is ≥4000°C, the sum of atmospheric precipitation in the warm period is 600-1000 mm. For the practical use of the forecast of heating provision during the growing season, a regression equation has been compiled. Provision of atmospheric precipitation by 10 and 90% is given. In these agroclimatic conditions, seed material for potato has been obtained using the plant apical meristem method, where the risk and danger of infection are excluded. Sterile plant allows obtaining a large amount of genetically uniform planting material. The regression equation for the predicted potato yield has been drawn up.
