Description and agricultural technology for growing tomatoes Orange pear

Description of the variety

“Yellow Pear” is the tallest subspecies of the variety. In an open area, the indeterminate stem stretches up to 160 cm, and in a greenhouse - up to 2 meters or more. The first inflorescence is tied above the 9th leaf, then at intervals of 3 leaves. The bush is spreading, well leafy, with a powerful stem.

Fruit

The main feature of tomatoes is their unusual shape, reminiscent of a small pear. The weight of the fruit rarely exceeds 50-80 grams (up to 7 cm in length).

Other characteristics of tomatoes:

• Noticeable ribbing on the side of the stalk;
• Yellow color of skin and cut;
• Dense and juicy pulp with a minimum number of seeds;
• Sweet taste.

Characteristics of pear-shaped tomato varieties

At the moment, thanks to the work of breeders, the “Pear” series of tomatoes includes six varieties: “Yellow”, “Orange”, “Black”, “Red”, “Pink” and “Emerald”. All but the last variety are very popular among summer residents. Due to the unusual color of the fruit, this tomato has not yet won the recognition of gardeners, so there are no reviews yet about its taste and plant characteristics.

Important! The shelf life of tomatoes in a cool, dark place (including in the refrigerator) is 35-45 days. The name of the variety determines the color of the tomatoes

But besides the rich color palette of fruits, there are other differences

It is worth noting that of the entire series of pear-shaped tomatoes, the fruits of the “Black Pear” differ in taste. But “Orange” easily tolerates heat and slight drops in temperature, and can also be stored for a long time without loss of taste and presentation.

All fruits of representatives of this series are distinguished by good keeping quality, dense pulp, a small number of seeds and the absence of voids.

Thanks to these advantages, Pear tomatoes are truly unique. For this reason, they are very popular among summer residents.

Ox heart

The tomato variety Ox's Heart was developed by Russian breeders from agriculture. And the variety was registered in the state register in 2000. It is recommended to be grown in almost all regions of the Russian Federation in protected soil, and this is because indeterminate varieties of tomatoes usually have medium and late ripening periods. And in the central zone, Siberia and the Urals there is usually a short summer, and such varieties simply do not have time to ripen. For the southern regions, it is possible to grow tomatoes in open ground. The tomato is suitable for growing in private household plots, as well as in small farms.

Characteristics of the variety

The ripening period of the Ox Heart variety is 110 - 120 days, which is 3.5-4 months. With such a long growing season in most regions, these tomatoes can only be grown in greenhouses. Well, in the south of the country, you can try growing these tomatoes in open ground.

The plant is a powerful, indeterminate type, which grows up to 2 m in height. By the way, in open ground tomatoes are only 1.2-1.5 m no more. The tomato leaves are medium in size and their color is dark green.

Important: the variety is usually grown in one stem. And yet, mandatory staking of plants is necessary.

Inflorescences can be of either simple or intermediate type. And the first brush is formed after 9-11 sheets, and then brushes are obtained every 3 sheets. One brush can have from 3 to 5 ovaries.

The fruits are heart-shaped and have medium ribbing. On average, they weigh 150-350 g, but the lower first racemes sometimes weigh up to 700-800 g. There are 4 or more seed chambers. Skin color is pink with a raspberry tint.

Advantages of the variety

1. High yield (up to 7 kg per 1 sq. m).
2. Good resistance to common diseases, especially late blight.
3. Great taste. The pulp is juicy, dense and sugary, which has a sweet and sour taste.
4. Excellent presentation.
5. Large fruit (on average 300-350 g).

Disadvantages of the variety

• Thin skin. Here, if the watering regime is violated, cracking of the fruits is possible.
• Inability to be stored for a long time. You need to eat it right away, or put it into processing.

Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Orange Miracle

The orange miracle was released in Russia in 2005. The breeders did everything to ensure that the variety acquired the best germination and productivity characteristics.

This variety of tomatoes is successfully grown both in greenhouse conditions and in open ground, but in a greenhouse the fruits ripen 2-3 weeks earlier.

Orange miracle is an early-ripening tomato variety. The fruits ripen 100 days after germination. The plant type is indeterminate, that is, tall. The culture reaches 2-3 m in height.

Several side shoots form around the main stem. The bush has a small number of leaves of medium size and dark green color. Each leaf contains small patterns in the form of tubercles. A powerful root system develops in a horizontal position.

The fruits of the Orange Miracle variety are slightly oval and pear-shaped. The size of the tomatoes is average; with proper care, the weight of the vegetable reaches 200 g. At least 5 fruits ripen on each node, which makes the variety high-yielding.

Tomatoes have dense flesh, without a watery structure. Dry matter content – ​​5%. The peel is durable. The tomatoes taste sweet, without acid or bitterness. It is because of these qualities that vegetables are used for fresh consumption. Tomatoes also perform well in canning.

Description of the variety, main characteristics

The Siberian pear tomato is suitable for cultivation in greenhouses, and in the southern regions in open ground. This is a tall, indeterminate crop. The height of the plant under a film cover reaches 200 cm, and in the air - 150 cm. The stem of the plant is powerful, with a moderate amount of medium-sized green leaves of the tomato type. The germination rate of seed is from 80 to 90%. Additional characteristics of the variety depend on the seed manufacturer.

Tomato Siberian pear

Pear-shaped tomatoes look very appetizing on the bush. The fruits are dense to the touch, one-dimensional, with a smooth surface. There are no voids in the middle of the fruit. The pulp is dense, fleshy and juicy, with a sweetish taste - in some species with sourness.

Bush care

In the future, the following care measures are carried out for the plantings:

• Since the variety is quite moisture-loving, regular watering is carried out. Warm water is used for irrigation. Water in the early morning hours or late in the evening, after sunset;
• Loosen and weed the soil in a timely manner, while simultaneously removing weeds;
• They must be tied to supports or trellises;
• After the first cluster of fruits has ripened, it is recommended to pinch the growing point and remove the leaf blades located below it;
• Also, the tomato must be constantly pruned and fed using mineral and organic fertilizers.

When and how to trim leaves from tomatoes:

Tomato care: video

The agricultural technology for growing “Yellow Pear” does not differ from the agricultural technology for other indeterminate varieties:

• Attaching stems to the greenhouse frame or trellises;
• Pruning into 1-2 stems and pinching out growth shoots at the stage of blanzhevoy maturity;
• Watering with settled warm water 2-3 times a week;
• Loosening the soil between waterings;
• Mulching the ground to retain moisture in the ground;
• Feeding with NPK complexes every 14 days.

Agricultural technology variety "Orange Banana"

Growing an unusual crop is not at all difficult. All agricultural techniques are quite standard. So, we start sowing in March. We take a common container or tablets and peat pots for them. For whom it will be more convenient and accessible. If you choose the latter option, it will cost more, but you will bypass the picking stage, and the seedlings can be immediately planted together with the tablet and pot in the ground. If you decide to sow in a common container, then the seeds are buried to a depth of 1.5-2 cm.

In both cases, it is better to treat the seed material in a weak solution of manganese or Zircon. As for the soil, store-bought soil will work well, but you can make your own. Just make sure that the soil is not acidic and that it has good air permeability. You can mix humus, sand, garden soil. You can take peat and add ash. It's not that important.

Seedlings are planted for permanent residence in May if it is a greenhouse, in June if it is open ground. It is better to provide shelter in advance in case of cold weather. The seedlings should be about 65 days old at the time of transfer. It is better to plant in a checkerboard pattern, not forgetting that the root system is very powerful, so seedlings need at least 50 cm from each other, and the distance between rows is 60 cm.

It is also worth noting that this variety requires shaping, gartering and pinching. For some this is a minus, but most varieties require such techniques. Ropes or trellises must be made in advance. The bush is formed into one stem, which means that there is no need to leave any stepsons. They are removed every ten days.

To prevent seedlings from being affected by certain diseases, they are sprayed with copper sulfate for prevention. Of course, you must remember about constant watering, loosening and mandatory ventilation of the greenhouse. And, of course, seedlings need to be fed once every 10-14 days. Fertilizers are applied for the first time two weeks after transplanting the seedlings, and then at approximately equal intervals. You can use different drugs from the store, you can make folk infusions, or use organic matter. Tomatoes always respond well to feeding. Most of all, seedlings need strength at the time of formation and ripening of fruits.

So, now you have learned everything you need to grow such an unusual tomato called “Orange Banana”. We hope the information was useful to you.

Agricultural technology

The variety is grown using the popular seedling method.
Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out 60 - 65 days before the intended transplantation into the ground. Based on this, in each region it is advisable to independently calculate the sowing time. In the southern regions, this process can begin in mid-February, in cool regions - almost a month later, in March. Tomatoes are planted in a greenhouse at the end of April, in open ground - in May or June. The seeds are processed in the usual way, the depth of embedding in the soil is 2 - 3 cm. Picking is carried out after the appearance of the second true leaf. 10 - 15 days before transplanting to a permanent place, the seedlings begin to harden. Given the tallness of the plant, it is impossible to do without a garter. The culture shows the best performance when formed into 2 stems. To do this, leave one stepson located under the first flower brush, the rest are removed. In order for the entire crop to ripen, no more than 6 - 8 fruit clusters are left on the bush. The top is pinched to limit further growth. Plant care is carried out as standard.

Watering is carried out as needed. To moisturize, it is recommended to use water heated in the sun. Fertilizing is carried out with complex mineral fertilizers. Tomatoes are planted regularly. Preventive measures will protect the red pear from possible diseases and pests. Loosening will restore air exchange in the soil, and weeding will get rid of weeds competing for food and moisture.

This variety is valued for the original appearance of the fruit, productivity, good taste and excellent opportunities for whole-fruit canning. The downside is the need for gartering and shaping.

Sowing of seedlings is carried out in March - April. Picked and hardened seedlings are planted under temporary shelters in mid-May, and in open ground in June. Planting pattern - 40 cm between bushes, row spacing - 50 cm. Planting density - up to 4 plants per 1 square meter. Gartering and pinching are required. The culture shows the best results when forming 2 - 3 stems.

This is an unpretentious variety that is valued for its stable and high yield, unusual and original shape of fruits, their beautiful color and suitability for whole-fruit canning. The downside is the inability to do without gartering and shaping.

The method of formation and agricultural technology are completely identical to its red predecessor. But once again I would like to note that the planting site and care play a big role in the yield and taste. Plants should receive the maximum amount of sunlight, then the taste of the fruits will be sweet, and not watery and insipid.

In addition to the varieties listed above, there are others with similar names:

• Orange pear. A mid-season indeterminate variety that begins to ripen 110 - 115 days after germination. The shape of the fruit is pear-shaped, the color is orange, the tomatoes are quite dense. The fruits are small - 45 - 65 grams. The pulp is fleshy, the taste is good. Productivity - 5.0 - 5.6 kg per 1 square meter.
• Siberian pink pear. The plant is semi-determinate, early ripening (98 - 110 days after the appearance of seedlings). The fruits are smooth, pear-shaped, small - 30 - 50 grams. Pink colour. Each cluster produces 5-7 fleshy fruits.
• Giant pear. Indeterminate, mid-season variety - the beginning of ripening occurs 100 - 115 days after emergence. The tomatoes are cuboid-pear-shaped, ribbed, dense. When ripe they turn red. The average fruit weight is 200 - 300 grams. The pulp is juicy and fleshy. Productivity 8 - 9 kg per 1 square meter.

Tomato “Red Pear”: description of the variety

Varietal tomato Pear Red is an indeterminate variety of medium ripening. The bush is standardless, medium leafy, with a height of 120 to 160 cm. The variety was bred by Russian breeders in 1998, registered in 2004.

Regarding the method of cultivation, the variety belongs to the universal subspecies. It grows and bears fruit equally well in open beds and in a greenhouse. "Red Pear" has average resistance to diseases and pests.

The Red Pear tomato variety is high-yielding. From tomatoes grown in a greenhouse, subject to proper agricultural practices, you can harvest at least 2.2 kg of fruit per plant. In open beds, this figure usually does not exceed 1.8 kg per bush.

Advantages and disadvantages:

• Pros: unsurpassed yield and uniformity of fruits, which also have a great taste.
• Cons: the need to constantly form the bush and tie it up.

Red pear, unlike varieties similar in fruit shape and other characteristics, is grown with two stems. It is with this formation of the bush that you can get more marketable fruits from it.

In the table below you can see what the yield of this and other tomato varieties is:

Read on our website: how to get good tomato yields in open ground and winter greenhouses.
What subtleties of growing early varieties of tomatoes should every gardener know? Which tomato varieties are resistant to most diseases and have high yields?

Black pear

The “Black Pear” tomato is a tall plant: its height varies from 135 to 180 cm. It is mid-season and bears fruit very richly. The fruits of this variety are characterized not only by their pear-shaped shape, but also by their unusual burgundy-brown color. They have a pronounced density, good taste and are not prone to cracking.

These vegetables are mainly used for whole-fruit canning and for adding to salads as a decoration.

These tomatoes will take root in any well-fertilized soil, but it is worth taking into account that they do not like wind and prefer places in the sun. For 1 sq. No more than 4 plants should be placed per meter

Procedures such as tying, loosening, fertilizing and weeding the soil are mandatory. Watering is carried out only with warm water. With proper care, the yield from 1 sq. meters will reach 5 kg

No more than 4 plants should be placed per meter. Procedures such as tying, loosening, fertilizing and weeding the soil are mandatory. Watering is carried out only with warm water. With proper care, the yield from 1 sq. meter will reach 5 kg.

All shoots of the Black Pear tomato are removed, with the exception of one - the one that appears under the first brush: you need to form a second stem from it.

Tomato variety Grushovka

If you carefully read the reviews of gardeners, then Grushovka has another name. Quite often it is called “Siberian Grushovka”. This is due to the fact that it was bred in Siberia. This variety ripens on average in 120-150 days. If you read the description of the fruits, they have a crimson hue. Their shape is elongated, slightly oval.

Siberian Grushovka is well transported and remains fresh for a long time. It can be stored in the refrigerator for about 1 month. Each fruit weighs 130-160 grams. Some ripe fruits can reach 200 grams. This type of tomato is not tall, so it does not require pinching. If you want to achieve high yields, you should leave 3 stems on the bush. Also, to achieve a large harvest, it is necessary to plant the bushes correctly. It is recommended to plant only 4 seedlings per 1m2.

Advantages of the variety

Giving a description of tomatoes belonging to the Red Pear variety, vegetable growers note a number of undeniable advantages of this species, which distinguish it from other tomatoes. The characteristics are as follows:

• high yield and immunity to temperature changes: fruits are successfully grown and bear fruit even when there is a cold Siberian summer outside;
• pear-shaped tomatoes are not whimsical and do not require constant care;
• they grow well both in open and closed ground;
• are resistant to various diseases;
• The fruits are easily transported and do not spoil for a long time during storage.

Flaws

Since a tomato belonging to the pear-shaped red variety, unlike other indeterminate types of tomatoes, should be grown in 2 stems, it has only one drawback - it requires mandatory formation and tying of the bush. Spend time on these goals, and then the plant will definitely surprise you with a bountiful harvest.

The description of the variety allows us to conclude that apart from this minor point, the breeder will not have any problems with this plant.

Advantages and disadvantages

Breeders bred this tomato back in 1988, but thanks to its characteristics, the variety is still winning new fans.

1. The tomato performed equally well both in open ground and in greenhouses.
2. The tomato is endowed with an unusual fruit shape.
3. The tomato ripens in the middle period, which coincides in time with the “season” of canning.
4. Long stems produce many clusters.
5. The yield is quite high. Up to 5 kg is removed from 1 bush.
6. The plant is not a hybrid. Gardeners grow seedlings from seeds from their plots.
7. Fruiting is delayed. The harvest is harvested before frost.

Disadvantages include demanding soil composition and fear of sudden temperature changes.

Recommendations for cultivation

Yields are higher if the seedling planting method is used. The originator recommends planting seed material to a depth of 1–1.5 centimeters in pre-moistened soil. Strong sprouts require maintaining temperature conditions and long daylight hours. It is important to water the seedlings in a timely manner and loosen the soil. When growing, the plant should be formed into one stem. Before planting in the ground, it is necessary to harden the plants.

Tomato requires careful attention to the composition of the soil. It should be fertile and moisture-holding. Bushes should be planted loosely, placing no more than four bushes per square meter. The recommended planting pattern is 40 × 60. Care measures include regular feeding, abundant watering and loosening of the soil, removal of weeds and tying up.

Characteristics

The average yield in a greenhouse is 6.5 kg per square meter of planting. In open ground, this figure is slightly lower, and amounts to 5 kg per square meter.

Advantages:

• high productivity;
• excellent taste;
• unusual decorative appearance of fruits.

Disadvantages: insufficiently high resistance to late blight.

To get a really big harvest, it is recommended to grow the Orange pear in one stem (usually indeterminate varieties are formed in 2 or 3 stems).

Tomatoes of this type have an original shape and color. Pear-shaped bright orange tomatoes weigh no more than 65 g. The flesh of the fruit is red-orange in color, the seed chambers are small (no more than 5 in each fruit), semi-dry, with a small number of seeds.

You can compare the weight of the fruits of this variety with others in the following table:

The amount of dry matter is very high. Thanks to this, tomatoes of this variety are considered quite meaty. In the refrigerator they retain their quality for no more than 1.5 months. The tomato is suitable for culinary processing, canning whole and for salads.

Characteristics "Banana orange"

• Belongs to indeterminate species. There is no need to pinch the growing point on the bush.
• Not a standard variety. It has an average bush of up to one and a half meters, an average number of leaves on the branches. It is also worth noting that the root system and the stem itself are quite powerful. The roots spread out greatly in the soil, which should be taken into account in the agricultural technology of Orange Banana.
• The color of the fruit is orange, the skin is glossy, dense, but thin.
• One brush forms up to 8 fruits, the first inflorescence grows above 8-9 leaves.
• Potato type sheets.
• Refers to tomatoes with medium ripening periods. The first fruits ripen at 105-110 days. If you plant seedlings in open ground, the timing may shift, and the bushes and fruits will be smaller.
• The variety is valued for its high resistance to common tomato diseases - late blight, cladosporiosis, fusarium.
• The fruits look unusual not only in color, but also in their shape - they are elongated, hence the name. Their weight is small - 100-120 grams, which is convenient for preservation in its entirety. The skin does not crack.
• The yield per bush is 3.5-4 kg, which is quite large and small. They usually harvest 8-9 kg per square meter. The fruits are 7-9 cm long.
• Tomatoes are stored very well and transported over long distances. Can ripen indoors. When storing, it is better to use a dark, cool place.

So, we conclude that the “Orange Banana” tomato variety is a worthy representative to grow in your beds. In addition, the variety bears fruit for quite a long time. And, of course, we can’t help but talk about how to grow an unusual tomato in the garden beds.

detailed information

Origin

The autumn clone of Bere yellow pear was artificially obtained as a result of mutagenesis - treatment of Bere yellow petioles with radiomutagens. The authorship is assigned to breeders L. A. Kotov and A. S. Tikhonova from the State Scientific Institution VNIIGiSPR and the State Institution of the Sverdlovsk Horticulture Breeding Station. Since 200, Bere yellow has been listed in the State Register of Russia for the Volga-Vyatka region. Most likely, trees of this variety can be seen in the Urals and in the Cis-Urals.

Application

Autumn pear Bere yellow is a dessert and table variety. But, nevertheless, the fruits can be subjected to technical processing, making jam, compote, juice, jam or even wine from them. Often grown on an industrial scale for sale or further processing.

Features of growth

Trees of the Bere yellow variety are medium-sized and durable. The age at which fruiting begins is average. The crown of Bere yellow is very lush and voluminous, well filled.

Origin, properties and cultivation characteristics

The variety was included in the State Register in 2001, but “folk selection” tomatoes with a similar name and similar properties were cultivated in our country long before the date of official registration. At the beginning of the 20th century, this type of popular culture was already described by specialists in the field of plant growing. The authors of the modern “Orange Giant” are breeders of the Research and Production Corporation “NK.LTD”. According to their data, the tomato is suitable for cultivation in open ground throughout the country.

In protected soil conditions, tomato bushes of this variety can grow up to 150-170 cm in height

Medium ripening tomato. The fruits begin to ripen on the 115-120th day from the appearance of full shoots. The bushes develop according to the indeterminate type and grow:

Regarding the height of plants in open ground, information varies greatly: some gardeners describe the variety as short (50-70 cm), while others call it tall (up to 120 cm). Apparently, this parameter is highly dependent on weather conditions and soil conditions.

It is recommended to plant seedlings in a permanent place with a density of no more than 3 plants per 1 m2

Experts recommend planting seedlings in a permanent place at the age of 60-65 days; planting rate - 3 pieces per square meter. Bushes require:

• formations - usually they are carried out in two stems;
• pinching above 5-6 brushes;
• obligatory garter of each trunk to a support.

The variety is extremely sensitive to the mineral composition and soil moisture. A good harvest can only be obtained with regular watering and fertilizing at least 3 times per season. The variety is weakly affected by pathogens of the main diseases.

You can count on a good harvest only if you regularly water and fertilize.

The first flower cluster is formed above the 7-9 leaves. Up to 10-12 ovaries can form on each brush. The average weight of ripe fruits is 150-200 g. In a good summer, up to 4 kg of tomatoes are harvested from a bush. If desired, you can normalize the number of ovaries, leaving 2-3 on each hand. In this case, there is a chance of growing giant fruits weighing 400 g or more. Ripe tomatoes have a flat-round or round (sometimes heart-shaped) shape, a dense bright orange skin and fleshy, surprisingly tasty pulp with a small amount of seeds. Tomatoes of this variety are good to use fresh, as well as for making juice and stuffing.

Retail chains sell “Orange Giant” seeds under the brands “Siberian Garden”, “Aelita”, “Russian Garden”, “Biotechnika” and others. There are no particular discrepancies in the descriptions of plants and images of fruits. On forums, seed material of similar varieties is often sold, having the same name, but with the addition of the name of the “family” nursery (for example, the “giants” of Dmitriev and Komov are known). According to reviews from summer residents, these varieties are also very attractive. In their parameters, they are very similar to officially registered tomato plants.

Features of cultivation and care

In the southern regions, Siberian series tomatoes are grown in open ground. In the Urals, in Siberia - under film.

Features of cultivation and care

Recommendations for planting the variety:

• Seeds are sown 60 days before the planned transplant to a depth of no more than 1.5 cm. Before germination, the containers are covered with film and kept at a temperature of 22°C to 24°C.
• Seedlings are fed once every 10 days, hardened 10-15 days before transplanting at +15°C.
• After 50-55 days, seedlings are placed 4 bushes per 1 m2, the distance between each is from 50 to 60 cm; then watered with warm water.

Mineral-based fertilizers are used for feeding.

Red pear

Red pear is a type of tomato that can be grown not only in a greenhouse, but also in open space. The Red Pear tomato is a mid-season species that belongs to indeterminate crops. Many gardeners who grow this variety leave comments such as “even and smooth skin” in their reviews. Sometimes it turns out to be striped. Such changes occur due to the fact that the sun may shine unevenly on it.

1 tomato can weigh 50 grams. This honey pear has a fairly high yield. Per 1 m2 it produces about 6 kg of products. Its taste is so sweet, so you can eat pear in any form. Children love her very much. At the beginning of spring, seed loading begins to produce seedlings. As soon as several leaves are formed, it can be picked. Seedlings can be planted under film only at the end of May. At the beginning of summer you can remove the film. It is best if the seedling has 5 leaves. Seedlings should be planted at a distance of 50 cm from each other.

Growing rules

To plant a tomato, you must follow the following rules:

1. Planting is done on the sunny side of the site.
2. Carry out regular watering. Sometimes each bush requires up to 15 liters per week.
3. Do not pick fruits prematurely. Nutrient availability will be below normal.
4. Seedlings are fertilized at an early stage of growth and after planting in the ground.
5. For 1 sq. m, 4-5 bushes are planted.
6. They tie it up on time.
7. Regularly hill up the bushes to supply oxygen to the soil.

Planting seedlings

It is necessary to prepare soil for planting in the fall. The soil is saturated with oxygen and left in a cold place until the beginning of spring. During the winter the soil will freeze and there will be no larvae in it that eat the tomato seeds. At the time of planting, the soil is mixed with mineral fertilizers, compost, sand, and humus. You can also purchase high-quality soil at any hardware store.

Any container for seedlings is suitable: pots, boxes, trays with individual compartments for each seed. The container is washed, disinfected with a solution of diluted potassium permanganate, rinsed and left to dry.

Seeds can be purchased new or used from a previous planting. First, the seeds are checked for germination. To identify dummies, seeds are immersed in water for 10 minutes; the dummies will float to the surface. Seeds should be germinated at room temperature, in damp cotton cloth. Add water daily. On day 5-6, the seeds are planted in the ground.

The first shoots appear on the 3-4th day. It is necessary to control soil moisture; too much water will kill crops. Seedlings are ready for picking at a height of 7-10 cm, when 2-3 true leaves are fully formed. Plastic glasses are suitable for individual containers. The stem of the seedling is buried before the leaves begin to grow. Then the seedlings are watered every 2-3 days.

Tomato transplant

Transplantation into beds is carried out at a constant temperature from +15 to +18°C. They make beds and fertilize them with compost or manure. Tomatoes are ready for planting when they are 15-20 cm tall. Planting is done at a depth of 10-15 cm so that the stem stands at a right angle. The distance between the bushes is up to 50 cm. After planting, the seedlings are watered. Pear tomatoes should not be watered with cold water. Experienced gardeners who grow Pear tomatoes recommend planting 4-5 plants per 1 square meter. m.

Diseases and pests

Diseases that affect the Red Pear tomato are most often of a fungal nature. To avoid their appearance, it is recommended to ventilate the greenhouse and spray the plantings with Bordeaux mixture from mid-July.

The Red Pear tomato is an excellent vegetable for growing in your garden. The hours spent caring for the plantings will pay off handsomely in tens of kilograms of high-quality, tasty fruit.
