It’s easy to guess which vegetable is the most popular in our country: of course, it’s the tomato! Breeders have developed a huge variety of tomato varieties with completely different characteristics. Some are more suitable for fresh salad, others for canning, freezing and long-term storage.
There are varieties that are used primarily for making juice. One of them is the Korneevsky tomato, named after a breeder famous in the eighties. Tomatoes with a bright pink color, juicy and sweet pulp have taken their rightful place in garden beds throughout Russia.

Compliance with the basic rules ensures good seed germination and strong seedlings:
- maintaining the temperature at 20-22 degrees;
- good lighting;
- timely watering;
- carrying out picking after the appearance of the first true leaves;
- hardening of seedlings 10 days before planting on the site.

Wai-wai. My post remains in the previous part, if possible I’ll move it here to this new part.
This is how it turns out: like an experiment. I have very few of them these days, so I can afford it
I placed identical tomatoes (small cherry tomatoes), already sprouted (in the first photo), on the loggia (in the second photo) and in the kitchen (third photo)
The “kitchen” leaves have already come out, but the “balcony” ones, as you can see, are still in the same condition. It is clear that the goal of growing seedlings is their strong roots and “health”, but what will happen next is interesting. Apparently the future will tell?

Growing tomatoes
2-2.5 months after the appearance of the first shoots, the bushes are planted in open ground or a greenhouse.
Important! The Korneevsky tomato is afraid of frost and may die from it. Therefore, in May the plant can only be planted in a greenhouse, and outside in June.
The bushes of this variety are spreading; it is necessary to think through the planting scheme in advance. The holes are dug at a distance of at least 30 cm from each other so that adult plants do not interfere with their neighbors.
Before planting, add a little compost or manure to each hole and mix it with the soil - this is how the tomatoes are fed for the first time. Organic fertilizers are reused during flowering and fruiting. Tomatoes are fertilized with organic fertilizers to maintain soil composition and enhance the activity of microorganisms. This is an accessible and inexpensive method that is safe for humans.
As the bush grows, side branches - stepsons - appear from the axils of the leaves. To ensure rational use of nutrients by the plant, useless elements are removed. Timely pinching leads to increased productivity.
To ensure that the load on the branches is uniform, a bush is formed from two trunks, removing the lower leaves and side stems, and pinching is carried out. The powerful root system and thick branches hold clusters of heavy fruit well.
As they grow, during the period of active growing and flowering, the plants are tied up and, if necessary, supports are placed. During fruiting, this helps the branches to withstand the load and not break.
Features of agricultural technology
The tomato is a mid-season variety, so only in the south is it possible to grow it in garden beds.
Gardeners in other regions are recommended to plant Korneevskoe rosea in a greenhouse or under shelter.
The powerful and spreading bushes of this tomato need space, so they should be planted with no more than three plants per square meter.
If you plant more densely, the harvest will be smaller, so keep this recommendation in mind.
It is good to grow this tomato by tying it to a trellis. All lower leaves should be gradually removed. Step-sonning is mandatory. With irregular care, stepchildren can quickly catch up with the main stem in growth, and the bush itself becomes very thick with excess shoots. Because of this, the growth and ripening of fruits slows down, and the tomatoes become smaller.
Despite the fact that Korneevsky pink is resistant to many diseases, you should not forget about protective measures.
Mandatory are:
- loosening the soil;
- ventilation of the greenhouse;
- treating plants with various compounds that prevent the development of diseases.
Mulching the soil gives an excellent result, since in this case you kill several birds with one stone: the number of waterings is reduced, there are no weeds, an optimal microclimate is created for plants, and you protect tomatoes from various pests.
Features of growing in a greenhouse and open ground
When cultivating in open space, special attention is paid to tying, since the bushes stretch higher than in greenhouses, and the weight of the fruit can reach a kilogram.
The variety is resistant to many diseases, but there are diseases that can affect plants. With excess moisture, especially in greenhouse conditions, apical or root rot develops. This can be easily avoided by following the watering schedule and ensuring regular ventilation of the room.
Important! When growing tomatoes, do not forget to loosen the soil and remove weeds. Before flowering, treat young plants with insecticides. This will ensure active growth of shoots and protect against late blight.
Diseases and pests
Despite the fact that the variety is resistant to most diseases, preventive measures are recommended. Before planting seedlings, it is worth watering the soil with hot potassium permanganate.
It is recommended to periodically loosen the soil - this will help prevent root rot from developing. Mulching is also performed using peat or humus. To protect the plant from late blight, spray with preparations with a high copper content.

Industrial insecticides are usually used to control pests. You can also use herbal infusions of celandine, chamomile or yarrow. They will cope perfectly with spider mites, thrips, nematodes and whiteflies.
Tomato Korneevsky is an excellent choice for growing tomatoes on your site. Thanks to its unpretentiousness, care will not take you much time, but at the same time you will get a tasty and rich harvest.
Harvesting and application
The Korneevsky pink variety tolerates transportation well and is suitable for long-term storage. You can enjoy the taste of harvested tomatoes before the onset of cold weather. Up to 9 kg of crop is harvested from each bush.
Reference. The Korneevsky tomato is harvested at the moment of technical maturity for successful transportation. At home, it ripens successfully.
Fragrant, sweet, fleshy tomatoes are used to make juice, ketchup, adjika, and lecho. The variety is suitable for freezing: its fruits are dense and not at all watery.
The size of the tomatoes does not allow them to be canned whole in jars: they do not fit into the neck. Experienced housewives pickle tomatoes in barrels or large enamel containers and store the pickles in the cellar all winter.
Advantages and disadvantages
The only drawback of the Korneevsky variety is the need to strengthen the bush. It is necessary to install supports for branches that are loaded with heavy bunches of tomatoes.
There are many more advantages:
- presentation of tomatoes;
- taste qualities of fruits;
- long shelf life;
- ability to withstand transportation well over long distances;
- high yield.
Diseases and pests
Tomatoes of the Korneevsky variety are resistant to most diseases of plants of the Solanaceae family. However, for preventive purposes, before planting seedlings, the soil should be treated with a hot solution of manganese.
To prevent the occurrence of root rot, it is recommended to mulch the beds with humus, straw or peat.
The following insects can also harm tomatoes:
Folk remedies will help get rid of pests - spraying the bushes with decoctions of chamomile, celandine and yarrow. If there is a large invasion of insects on plantings, special insecticides must be used.
Reviews from gardeners
Summer residents talk about the Korneevsky variety as one of the most aromatic and tasty.
Sweet-tasting, large, fleshy and weighty fruits will decorate any garden bed. Alexander: “My favorite variety of tomatoes since childhood is Korneevsky rectangular.
Ripe fruits are very juicy, sweet and fleshy. Harvesting is a pleasure. One tomato can weigh up to 800 g. Tomatoes are not suitable for canning. Ripe fruits make excellent salads and tomato juice. It stores well, so you can pamper yourself with healthy and tasty tomatoes for a long time. The promised characteristics of the variety correspond to reality. I am continuing the family tradition and have been planting my favorite tomato for the second year now.” Lyudmila: “Korneevsky is my favorite variety of tomatoes. I can’t say that it’s low-yielding. I only have three bushes, and for two weeks now that’s all we’ve been eating. I water it rarely until they crack. The taste is not the sweetest, but very rich and balanced.”
Angelina: “The fruits of Korneevsky pink are flat and large. For me this is the standard of the best taste. But they always crack at the top, 3-5 fruits ripen on the bush, that is, the variety is low-yielding and not for the market.”
