Almost every gardener grows tomatoes on his plot, many start with them. Fresh vegetables appear on the table, thanks to their cultivation in the beds during the summer season. At the same time, varieties are important that do not take much time and effort to care. Tomato Diabolik belongs to hybrids characterized by yield with unpretentious growth. The mid-season variety is quite famous, has received excellent reviews from gardeners. We will consider its properties further.

History of creation

Diabolic f1 is a variety intended for outdoor use and can also be grown in greenhouses. A lot of attention is paid to the selection of tomatoes, a popular vegetable garden. Specialists from different countries are improving the parameters and quality of tomatoes. This variety of 2016 was bred by selection, it is considered very outstanding. This is the result of the work of the Japanese agronomists of the Sakata firm. In 2008, the variety was also included in the State Register of the Russian Federation with a recommendation for growing in the open field of the North Caucasus region.

Naturally, other southern regions also have similar favorable conditions. But in more northern areas, a greenhouse, greenhouse or other shelter will be required. In the absence of the right amount of sun, yields can be significantly reduced.

Characteristics and features of the variety

The Diabolik bush stops growing when a flower raceme forms at the apex (is determinant). At the same time, the number of stepchildren is small, it is not necessary to cut them off, but it is recommended. Leave 2 or 3 stems. The plant must be tied to a support, since it reaches a height of 160 cm, while having a strong and good foliage.

The leaves are medium in size and have a bright green color. You can buy seeds from the companies Gavrish, Prestige, Agros.

The characteristics and description of the variety of a tomato named Diabolic correspond to its purpose - cultivation in the open field. To this we must add a feature: the plant cannot pollinate on its own. Therefore, in the greenhouse, most likely, it will not be possible to get a crop. The mid-ripening tomato variety Diabolic yields up to 20 kg per 1 sq. m. On an industrial scale, the figure reaches 296 kg / ha. This tomato variety does not tolerate frost and drought. Moisture stagnation should not be allowed.

On a note! Mid-early and mid-season tomato develops up to 105 days from the moment of emergence. The culture bears fruit for 1.5 months, which makes it possible to gradually collect. High yield distinguishes this crop, but its performance is influenced by a number of factors.

Agricultural technology of cultivation

Growing seedlings

Tomato Snowdrop: characteristics and description of the variety

The first stage of cultivation is sowing seeds, which is carried out in mid-March. The material is kept for about 20 minutes in potassium permanganate, a weak solution. Then washed. A gauze bag is used for the procedure. Sometimes it is soaked in a growth promoter.

Note! Good results are obtained by soaking seeds in aloe juice, freshly squeezed, as it contains activating components.The yield can increase by 30%.

Next, do the following:

  • The soil for seedlings is sold in stores, it must be poured into a container, tamped and watered;
  • After 5 cm, grooves are made, 1 cm deep, after a day, seeds are sown at a distance of 2 cm;
  • After sprinkling with soil, you need to cover the container with a film and place it in a warm place;
  • After the sprouts appear, the film is removed and the box is transferred to the light;
  • After the appearance of 2 true sheets, a pick is made. Seedlings are placed in cups with superphosphate added. Also pinch the root.

How to prepare soil

In addition to good illumination of the landing site, previous crops must be taken into account. Do not plant Diabolic after potatoes, peppers, eggplants. But it can be placed where onions, cabbage, cucumbers grew. You also need to make autumn preparation in advance, scattering it over 1 sq. m:

  • humus, 5 kg;
  • superphosphate, 50 g;
  • potassium salt 25 g

Then the earth is dug to the depth of the shovel bayonet, cleared of roots and weeds. In the spring, poultry droppings (rotted), 1 kg of ash, 25 g of ammonium sulfate should be scattered on each meter. Again, you need to dig up, install stakes with wire (trellises) near the beds. From diseases, the land of the site should be shed with 90% copper oxychloride (for 10 liters 30 g).

Landing

The moment the seedlings are transferred to the ground is approximately May 15, because the culture will not tolerate frost. They dig holes 20 cm deep and 15 cm in diameter. 40 cm recede between the bushes, the rows are placed every 60 cm. The day before, the day before, you need to water the plants. They are planted by the transshipment method - taking out a sprout with a lump of earth and placing it in a pit. At the end, the seedling is covered with earth, watered, slightly shaded. Also, the soil is mulched with peat or straw.

Landing in open ground

Care

When watering, do not allow excessive moisture or dry out of the plants. In the morning, warm infused water is poured under the root, avoiding contact with the leaves. In summer, watering is increased to a plentiful dose, loosening the soil the next day. Repeat the procedure after the soil has dried.

The first feeding is done after planting, the next - when buds appear, and then ovaries. The fourth time is fertilized during the fruiting period, 2 weeks before harvest. The composition of the dressing is as follows:

  1. Bird droppings (25 g) are dissolved in 1/2 liter of water, 5 g of potassium sulfate and 20 g of superphosphate are added. Add the solution to a bucket of 10 liters, pour under the bushes, one liter for each;
  2. During the budding period, this composition is repeated. But you can change it to 1 tbsp. l. nitrophosphate in 10 liters of water;

Important! From rot at the top, calcium nitrate 1 tbsp. l. diluted in 10 liters of water and sprayed during flowering on a liter per bush.

  1. During the ovary period, 2 liters of ash are stirred in 10 liters of water with the addition of 10 g of boric acid, dissolved for a day, poured one liter per bush under the root;
  2. With the growth of fruits, superphosphate is taken 2 tbsp. l., potassium humate 1 tbsp. l. 10 liters of water. A liter is poured under a bush, on which no more than 3 stems are left.

During the ovary period, 2 liters of ash are stirred in 10 liters of water with the addition of 10 g of boric acid, dissolved for a day, poured one liter per bush under the root

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Tomato Cornabel

The following advantages of the Diabolic hybrid variety are distinguished:

  • The crop is well stored, transport is tolerated, tomatoes do not crack, since they have dense flesh;
  • Each bush produces quite a few fruits. The harvest is practically independent of the weather;
  • Ripening is almost simultaneous;
  • The plant does not suffer from verticillium, phomopsis and fusarium. Also not susceptible to bacterial spotting and root nematode.

There is also a drawback - exactingness to the planting site, which should be sunny, without shading, which reduces the yield. Also, the plant is not self-pollinated, therefore, in the northern latitudes, it is very difficult to obtain abundant fruitfulness using only a greenhouse environment.

This hybrid variety, with good reviews, is approved by gardeners for its pleasant taste. It is considered to be hardy, producing a significant harvest.
