Studies on growing potato minitubers of four potato varieties on aeroponic and hydroponic plants in comparison with the traditional method of minitubers production (in the field) were carried out. The best result was obtained on aeroponic plants, the yield of minitubers from one plant amounted to 54.1 pieces, on hydroponic plants and in the field, it was less in 5.0 and 5.6 times. Potato varieties responded differently to controlled aeroponics and hydroponics conditions. The varieties Sokur and Zlatka were more adapted with the yields of 77.8 and 60.0 pieces, respectively, on aeroponics and 17.5 and 11.2 pieces on hydroponics. Lina and Safo varieties were less adapted with the yields of 35.5 and 43.0 pieces on aeroponics and 8.0 and 6.1 pieces on hydroponics, respectively. Artificial conditions for growing potato minitubers and indications for harvesting minitubers by size, which determines tuber maturity, did not allow to realize the varietal potential of the variety in terms of dry matter and starch content. Underperformance on these parameters averaged 6.2 and 4.4% for aeroponic plants and 6.7 and 4.2% for hydroponics compared to field tubers. High yield (number of minitubers from one plant) is the main indicator in the production of source material for potato seed production, it gives reason to consider the aeroponic method of minitubers production as the best alternative to traditional methods of material production in the field and greenhouses. This method allows to significantly increase the production of minitubers, reduce the process of seed production by increasing the multiplication rate in nurseries.
