TURAN

The Turan potato is a high-yielding variety developed in Azerbaijan, introduced alongside other new cultivars such as Chenlibel, Ugur, and Vagif. These varieties were cultivated in greenhouses and are notable for their enhanced resistance to diseases and pests. They are particularly suited for arid environments, including non-irrigated highland regions, making them valuable for areas with challenging growing conditions. 

The development of the Turan potato is part of Azerbaijan's initiative to improve agricultural productivity and food security. By focusing on disease resistance and adaptability to dry climates, the Turan variety contributes to sustainable farming practices in regions facing water scarcity and other environmental stresses.

It's important to note that "Turan" is also the name of a Hungarian red wine grape variety, unrelated to the potato. The Turán grape is known for its early ripening, thick-skinned berries, and deeply pigmented red juice, producing aromatic wines with a fresh profile.
