The experiment in this article is an approximate replica of the experiment in the article "The Growth And Development Of The Potato According To Their Variety In The Central Area Of Romania" published in the "Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture", but in a different location in central Romania and with a slight resizing of the experimental plots. This research exposes the adaptability to water and nutrient stress conditions of three potato varieties ('Alouette', 'Salad Blue', and 'Paradiso') compared to the control variety, 'Productiv', which is a native variety maintained in conservation by research stations. The three potato varieties ('Alouette', 'Salad Blue', and 'Paradiso') were cultivated under the same conditions as the control. The experimental field was established in central Romania, in Brașov County, Mandra village. During the vegetation period, the following criteria were monitored: height of the main stem, number of main stems, number of leaves on the main stem, length of the median leaf on the main stem, and chlorophyll content of the leaves. Precipitation and daily temperatures were also recorded during the vegetation period. After data centralization and statistical analysis, it was concluded that the variety 'Alouette' had the best development.
