Characteristics and description of the variety

Hybridization in breeding is always aimed at improving taste, yield, and the possibility of long-term storage. It is important to get a variety that is resistant to tomato diseases.

With timely feeding and proper care, the root system of the bush develops well, thereby providing the plant with all the necessary nutrients. Tomatoes of the variety are pure determinants, having medium-sized bushes from 60 cm to 1 meter. At this height, the plant stops growing and cuts. Further nutrients are directed to the development of fruits.

Agrotechnics

It should be noted that the hybrid gives a good harvest if the rules for growing seedlings and caring for planted plants are observed. You need to start with preparing the soil. It should be highly fertile, with neutral acidity.

Recommendation. Crop rotation must always be considered. You can not plant tomato seedlings after potatoes and eggplants. These crops have the same pests, their larvae can destroy seedlings. The predecessors of tomatoes in the beds should be cucumbers, cabbage, legumes, onions.

Planting seeds and diving

Before planting seeds in prepared boxes with a land mixture heated to 25 ° C, it is recommended to treat them with a growth stimulator for Solanaceae. If you wet the seeds in a solution of fertilizer Malyshok before planting, they will sprout together. Sowing is done in the last week of March or early April. To make it convenient to dive the seedlings, the seeds are laid out in grooves, 2 cm deep. The distance between the seeds is better to make 2-3 cm, for the convenience of diving. Sprinkle the seeds with earth and press down slightly, removing the presence of air in the ground. Sprinkle sowing with warm water from a spray bottle and cover with foil. The humidity in the mini greenhouse will promote rapid seed germination.

Sowing seeds

Sprouts appear in a week. The shelter is removed, and when the first two well-developed tomato leaves appear, the seedlings are dived into prepared peat cups. After transplanting, the seedlings need to be watered and continue to wate as needed, preventing the soil from drying out. It is recommended to feed the seedlings after 2-3 days with complex fertilizers to stimulate growth. It can be Baby or Nitroammofosk. They help the seedlings cope with stress and improve root development.

Two weeks before planting the plants in a permanent place, they are hardened with cool air. Seedlings are either taken out into the street, if it is warm and not windy, or they open a window or transom so that fresh air comes in, but the seedlings should not stand in a draft. Before planting seedlings in the ground, in 7-10 days, fertilizing with potassium-phosphorus fertilizer is carried out.

Transplanting

At the age of 2 months from the moment of germination, the seedlings are planted in the greenhouse. Plants can be planted on open ground beds 1.5-2 weeks later. The main thing is to wait out the last frost in May. It is better if there are arches with a film coating above the tomato beds. In this case, it will be possible to cover the tomato seedlings in case of unexpected cold snaps or thunderstorms.

Planting seedlings in a greenhouse

The scheme for planting tomatoes requires maintaining a distance between the bushes of 50 cm and rows of 70 cm. The first feeding in the hole of the bush must be done 10 days after planting. This will be a nitrogenous fertilizer for growing leaves and good rooting.

Care rules

Top dressing is done once every ten days. When the first ovaries appear, you need to start using potash fertilizers. Complex feeding of tomatoes is needed during the entire growing season.

Good to know! None of the most fertile soil will yield the expected yield if you do not regularly feed the plants. Without fertilization, the soil is depleted, since the plants take from it everything they need for their development.

Watering, loosening and weeding is done as needed. So that there is no rapid evaporation of moisture from under the bush, you can mulch it with grass or small sawdust.

As the plant grows, many gardeners use pinching, removing the lower leaves under the brushes. These leaves give nothing to the plant, except that they feed themselves. When they are harvested, the plant does not receive stress. During the ripening of the fruits, they must be tied to trellises or supports, relieving the load on the stem.

Sometimes novice gardeners wonder why hybrid varieties are resistant to viral infections that affect varietal varieties? It's all about the timing of ripening.
