Description of the Amulet tomato, fruit characteristics and pest control

Characteristics

Among the main advantages of the variety:

• high taste qualities of fruits;
• original shape and color;
• good yield;
• resistance to diseases.

The disadvantages include the need to form a bush. Tall spreading plants need reliable support.

The yields of other varieties are presented in the table below:

Growing indoor tomato

The last harvest has long been harvested in the gardens. What a pity that we won’t see new fresh greens on the table until next summer. However, not everything is so sad. There are a number of crops that can be successfully grown indoors at any time of the year. And tomatoes are no exception!

The good news is that indoor varieties of tomatoes are not only a source of wonderful small fruits, but also an excellent decorative element for the kitchen. Agree, in winter neat miniature bushes dotted with small red fruits will always please the eye. I usually sow indoor tomato seeds in two periods: in July-August and November-December.

Among the varieties I prefer the unpretentious ones: Room Charm, Micron NK and Phytophthora-resistant.

Micron NK, in my opinion, is the most unique and miniature variety. The height of the plants is only 10-15 cm. It is super resistant to cold and does not need additional lighting. But it always rewards its owner with an incredibly large number of bright yellow fruits.

Trouble period

For growing indoor tomatoes, a pot with a diameter of 15-20 cm or a rectangular container for several bushes is suitable.

Before sowing, I always moisten the seeds. I place them in gauze bags and place them in a plate, the bottom of which is filled with warm water (the liquid should not cover the seeds!). After they have stood for a day, I disinfect them in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate for 20 minutes. I prepare the soil mixture for planting indoor tomatoes as follows: 10% humus, 80% garden soil, 10% sand; I pour boiling water over it. I sow the seeds to a depth of 0.5-0.7 cm, lightly sprinkled with soil, at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other. I water young seedlings very carefully so as not to wash away or compact the soil. After the formation of 2-3 true leaves, I plant the seedlings in 6x6x6 cm pots or large containers for permanent cultivation. Every week I feed the tomatoes with an EM extract prepared from the Baikal EM-1 preparation (100-150 g of solution for each plant). I continue this operation until the end of the plant growing season.

As a rule, indoor tomatoes are self-pollinating. But sometimes I have to help them by slightly shaking the flower brushes. After which it is better to spray the plants with water with the addition of a few drops of iodine - this increases the number of ovaries.

Light to the rescue!

In the evening and on cloudy days, seedlings may require additional artificial lighting. To do this, I use energy-saving fluorescent lamps with a power of 10 W, placing them at a height of 1-5 cm from the tops of the plants. To prevent the seedlings from bending during growth, I turn the pot every 1-2 days. However, I don’t do this during the flowering phase and after it.

. And no stress

I will definitely take care of the plants. I pinch the top of the main shoot after 4-5 clusters have formed. As soon as the fruits are ripe, I cut off the main shoot, leaving a replacement shoot. This allows you to harvest from the same plant for 3-4 years. Although the easiest way is to root the removed stepsons in the spring and get new young plants.

In weak-growing determinate indoor varieties (and these are the majority), only weak, thickening stepsons need to be removed. However, if desired, to increase the mass of fruits, you can leave, in addition to the main stem, the two most developed stepsons, removing all the others. Miniature varieties, for example, Bonsai, Mikron NK, Green Petal, do not need pinching at all.

Bow at the enemy

In late spring and summer, indoor tomatoes may be attacked by whiteflies. But it doesn't matter. Insects do not like onion peel infusion. Therefore, a couple of sprays are enough - and the whitefly will no longer appear.

How to care for Talisman tomatoes in the summer

Depending on the characteristics of plant care during the growing season, the yield depends. So, if you follow these care rules, you can increase productivity:

• Tomatoes can be formed into either one or two stems. Forming a plant into one stem requires removing the stepsons; into two - you can leave only the one that is under the flower brush, the very first one. It is not advisable to break it out. You can also leave the stepsons located below, they will produce abundant flowering, develop quickly and delight with their beauty;
• if you grow tomatoes in a room on a windowsill, when they bloom, you will need to periodically shake the brush with the opened flowers, or you can shake the entire plant;
• fertilizing is desirable; it should be complex fertilizers. The amount of nutrients added depends on the volume of the pot or flowerpot. The calculations are as follows: no more than 5 g of fertilizer is taken per 1 kg of substrate. Number of fertilizing: once every 14 days, mineral fertilizers are applied along with watering;
• about watering: during dry periods, make sure that the soil does not dry out. In flowerpots it dries out faster than when growing tomatoes on the plot. Watering is moderate, avoiding overflow;
• harvesting - you need to remove ripened fruits as they color, but without waiting for them to fully ripen. If your goal is to grow tomatoes of this variety for decorative purposes, then you can take your time harvesting and admire the beautiful flowing garlands.

Planting tomatoes "Talisman"

The unusual way of growing tomatoes, unpretentiousness and the ability to get a harvest at any time of the year, encourages many lovers to grow tomatoes directly on windowsills.

Planting tomatoes includes 3 stages:

1. Preparing seeds: prepare a weak manganese solution; soak the seeds for an hour. Then rinse the seeds in water at room temperature.
2. Soil preparation: suitable peat, distilled soil, turf soil. These components must be taken in equal proportions. The soil should be light and loose, so that it is well saturated with oxygen and is permeable to water. If desired, you can enrich the substrate with wood ash and superphosphates - 1 tsp each, add potassium sulfate in the same amount, based on a teaspoon of nutrients per 10 kg of substrate. The container for growing tomato seedlings must have sides, at least 15 cm high, in such conditions the root system must be formed.
3. Planting: seeds are planted to a depth of no more than 3 cm. Immediately after planting, the soil must be moistened.

How to care for tomatoes after sowing:

Boxes with seedlings should be placed in a warm and bright place. If it is cloudy outside, arrange additional illumination with a lamp so that the daylight hours last for at least 14 hours. The optimal temperature for seed germination is +30 degrees; you need to place the boxes with seeds on a warm windowsill or place the containers near heating appliances. Containers should be covered with glass or film and opened for 10-15 minutes once a day to prevent condensation from accumulating. When the sprouts hatch, the temperature in the room can be lowered. The critical mark is +20 degrees, but if the temperature in the room drops (down to +16 degrees), this can have a detrimental effect on growing tomatoes. As soon as the first 3 leaves appear, the seedlings can be picked. When transplanting seedlings, you need to prepare a spacious container, make drainage: the bottom layer is a layer of expanded clay or any other drainage (pebbles, broken brick, small stone), a layer of no more than 3 cm, then light soil. Planting time: as it grows, but no later than May. Any spacious container can serve as a container for planting. For example, a flower pot, container, bucket, flowerpot and even pan, with a volume of at least 3 liters, and better - 5 liters

The main thing is that there is a hole for the outflow of water, because this variety does not like stagnant moisture, because of this the plants can die. An important rule for planting seedlings: carefully remove the sprout along with a lump of earth and place it in the center of the container to a depth of no more than 4 cm. The containers can be immediately placed on the windowsill, taken out to the balcony (on a high stand) or placed in an area closer to the house. As the fruits ripen, it is advisable to hang them to make it more convenient to care for and admire the beauty of hanging tomatoes.

Tomato Amulet: characteristics of the variety, its yield

Tomato Amulet is a worthy hybrid from the group of mid-season varieties. Ripe fruits are suitable for pickling, making sauces and juices, as well as for fresh consumption. It has been actively purchased by summer residents for several decades because of its pleasant smell and taste. Therefore, it deserves to grow in the bed of your garden plot!

Characteristic

Determinant type. The first harvest can be harvested 115 - 120 days after the appearance of the first shoots. The bushes grow no more than 70 cm, are medium-branched and leafy. The leaves are small, standard, dark green in color. The first inflorescences are simple and are formed above the 6th or 7th leaf, and the next ones after 1 or 2 leaves. Such tomatoes are even planted on an industrial scale. In large fields, more than 580 centners are harvested from 1 hectare. And the average fees from summer cottages are about 7.5 kg per 1 sq. m. Easy to care for and resistant to harmful insects and a number of diseases.

Description

Ripe tomatoes are shaped like an inverted chicken egg. Smooth, have a dense structure and rich red color. Inside you can see 3 chambers with a small amount of seeds. The weight usually does not exceed 100 g. On the clusters, the fruits ripen evenly in 5-6 pieces. Transportable: they withstand long-term transportation well without losing their appearance.

Recommendations for growing and care

Seeds should be sown for seedlings 2 months before planting in the soil to a depth of no more than 2 cm and maintain a constant temperature of + 22 - 24 degrees. After watering, seedlings should be picked at the first leaf stage.

It is better to plant in soils where zucchini, carrots, greens or legumes previously grew. When planting, adhere to the scheme: 50x40 cm and per 1 sq. m place no more than 7 - 8 plants.

In order to prevent diseases, you can treat the bushes with a soap solution. Make sure that there is no excessive sunlight, otherwise the plant will get burned, and places where the sun's rays illuminate in moderation are the most suitable.

To avoid drying out the soil and save water, the soil should be mulched. Mulch is ready to serve for some time as a natural fertilizer.

And also, do not forget about basic actions: weeding, loosening and fertilizing.

Elena Fashina: I also liked “Amulet”. I prepare the beds for them in advance, in the fall I remove the weeds, dig them up and 1 sq. m. m I add 1 kg of humus + 75 g of superphosphate. Before sowing, I select suitable seeds. To do this, I immerse them in salt water (for 1 liter of water - 1 tablespoon of salt). After 5–10 minutes, I throw away the floating seeds, and wash the ones that have sunk to remove salt and use them. These manipulations allow me to harvest a good and strong harvest. There is enough for canning and fresh salads, and there is even some left over for sale.

We plant varieties of tomatoes on the plot

After the air has warmed up sufficiently, the tomatoes are transplanted into a specially prepared area. It is recommended to plant seedlings in beds where cucumbers, pumpkins, watermelons, cabbage or onions previously grew. An excellent harvest of tomatoes is obtained from areas previously occupied by green manure plants.

Important! It is prohibited to plant Obereg tomatoes in areas where potatoes, peppers or tomatoes were planted. This measure will reduce the risk of developing diseases characteristic of predecessors. If the plot is small, then you can plant Amulet on the territory after tomatoes of other varieties, after adding a large amount of minerals and digging twice.

Before planting, the site area is dug up along with pre-applied fertilizers. Then holes are made, into each of which a plant is lowered. Before planting, it is important to straighten the root system, and then fill the hole with soil. It is recommended to water the plant with plenty of water. Watering is carried out under the bush; you cannot pour water on the seedling, as this may cause it to break.

Interesting! Each tomato usually weighs about 60 g. With proper care, which consists of timely watering, loosening the soil and applying fertilizers, you can get fruits of a much larger weight - about 80 g. From a small plot, you usually get about 12-15 kg of tasty tomatoes.

Tomato Hybrid Tarasenko

This is where the confusion begins. The fact is that tomatoes under this name are not hybrids at all, but varieties! Moreover, they are quite interesting and popular, such as Hybrid Tarasenko, Yubileiny, Tomato Tarasenko. They were brought out by an amateur vegetable grower from the Sumy region, Feodosiy Tarasenko, a physics teacher who was fond of gardening. His track record includes about 50 varieties of tomatoes.

Many summer residents know that amulet strawberries are one of the easiest berries to care for. With minimal care requirements, you can get a high-quality harvest even in harsh climatic conditions. Photos and characteristics of strawberries show their suitability for growing for both personal and commercial purposes.

Growing

In mid-April you can start growing seedlings in cool regions. In the south, you can start growing much earlier, so that after 65 days you can transfer well-formed seedlings to open ground. You can do this in early May. Some gardeners, under favorable climatic conditions, manage to safely plant seedlings at the end of April. The main thing is that the soil has been previously fertilized and well loosened.

When planting a plant in the ground too early, when there is still a chance of frost, the tomato is hilled up and protected overnight with film

It is important to achieve maximum yield to adhere to the planting system of 70 x 40 cm. One square meter of land should have from six to eight bushes. In such conditions, the short-growing “Amulet”, whose branches can be spreading, will have enough space for the formation of a large number of fruits and their unhindered development

In such conditions, the low-growing “Amulet”, whose branches can be spreading, will have enough space to form a large number of fruits and their unhindered development.

To prevent the plant from suffering from possible attacks by pests, the seed material before growing seedlings is well treated with potassium permanganate or another disinfectant, which guarantees the formation of a protective shell. Although “Obereg,” according to the characteristics of the variety, tolerates many threats from pathogens, additional protection would not hurt.

You can increase the yield by fertilizing the soil with rotted manure. Amulet, if we take into account the reviews of experienced farmers, as an early ripening variety, responds well to such fertilizing material, which guarantees a sufficient amount of nutrients in the soil for the normal development of the crop.

Gardeners do not recommend rushing to plant young seedlings in the ground if six true leaves have not yet been formed on it. The row spacing should be within 70 cm. Such cultivation will help minimize the manifestation of late blight.

According to the recommendations, photos and reviews, use compost or mowed grass as mulch for Amulet. Humus will be a good alternative to such materials.

The plant can bear fruit well, which affects the condition of the bush, which can sag under the weight of the fruit. Gardeners advise tying up bushes to avoid damage to the branches on which the tomato is formed. The first time after planting the Amulet seedlings, the plant will receive water from melt water in the soil. This will be enough for normal development

Even in drought conditions, gardeners refuse frequent watering. In hot weather, the plant will not suffer if you loosen the soil in time. Regular loosening affects the development of fruits and good fruiting is more effective compared to an established frequent watering regime

When considering the Obereg tomato variety, it is important to pay attention to the topic of pinching. No matter how many fans of early varieties convince that this procedure is obligatory for all tomatoes, it can harm the “Amulets” The pinching of “Amulets” will affect the number of fruits formed on the bushes

By tying the bushes, you can avoid not only breaking them off due to the severity of the fruits, but also minimize possible diseases. The leaves of the plant should not be in contact with the soil, in which disease-causing organisms begin to develop, before moving on to the plant.

The lower leaves are pre-cut in order to avoid possible negative consequences from their contact with the soil. This procedure is optional, but is recommended by many gardeners who are well familiar with the Obereg tomato variety. The key to the correct development of the “Amulet” is sufficient air circulation under the bush.

It is necessary to check the dryness of the stem in order to promptly identify signs of fungal infection or possible rot. The bushes must have enough sunlight, so the issue of choosing a site for planting “Amulet” is important. In the shade, it will be more difficult to achieve maximum yield from the planted crop. Insufficient sun will affect not only the quantity of the harvest, its quality, but also its taste.

How to sow seeds in open ground

In a prepared bed with loose and fertile soil, holes are made in a checkerboard pattern, at a distance of no less than 30 cm from each other. The holes are filled with water, after the moisture has been absorbed, 3-5 seeds are placed in each hole, sprinkled with a shallow layer of soil and watered abundantly again.

The holes are covered with glass jars or cut plastic bottles, a film is pulled over the entire bed and left in this form until shoots appear. When warm and sunny days arrive, the seedlings are opened and the excess ones are removed, leaving the strongest messenger in each hole.

Time for sowing seeds in open ground: late April - early May, when consistently warm temperatures have established. Despite such a late sowing, compared to the seedling method, the sprouts quickly catch up in growth with the seedlings from the window sill.

Description of the tomato variety Talisman, features of cultivation and care

The Talisman tomato attracts attention because it makes it possible to get a harvest even without having your own garden plot. The reviews left about it allow us to conclude that indoors or on the balcony you can grow tomatoes no worse than in the garden

This is a godsend for lovers of home-grown vegetables living in urban areas.

Description of the variety

This tomato variety was developed a long time ago, so its popularity is due not only to a number of advantages over competitors, but also to the test of time. It is suitable for growing both in open ground and in apartments and balconies. The plant is not afraid of drought or low temperatures. In hot summer conditions, early ripening of the crop occurs, the harvest of which lasts until the onset of persistent cold weather.

The characteristics of the variety indicate that the plant does not grow more than 50 centimeters, its shoots are not spreading. The fruits are distinguished by a smooth ovoid shape, the average weight of which reaches 20 grams, however, in open ground conditions there are also specimens weighing 40–80 grams. When ripe, the color of tomatoes is bright red.

The taste is excellent, the flesh is juicy and sweet. This rarely happens among ampelous tomato varieties.

Unfavorable climatic conditions in no way affect the quality and commercial characteristics of the fruit. Amulet (as this variety is popularly called) is classified as a subspecies of Cherry tomatoes, which, in turn, is classified as Solanaceae. This explains the features inherent in this variety.

The tomato is very similar in characteristics to the Amulet variety. When kept on the bushes, the fruits do not crack and retain commercial quality. You can enjoy the first harvests in the second half of July. They can be collected before the onset of cold weather, regardless of where the plant is cultivated.

The ampelous tomato variety Talisman has certain advantages compared to other varieties:

• the plant does not stretch;
• drafts are not a problem when growing;
• heat and drought do not affect the quantity and quality of the harvest;

• no special care required;
• To obtain an earlier harvest, very early planting of the crop is acceptable;
• the variety is suitable for growing on a windowsill at any time of the year;
• excellent resistance to major types of diseases;
• the compactness of the bush, which makes it possible to plant more densely.

As evidenced by reviews from experienced gardeners, there are practically no shortcomings in this variety. Many people are confused by the small size of tomatoes, however, this factor is intended exclusively for the amateur. These fruits are ideal for canning, as well as for decorating dishes.

Features of cultivation

The unpretentiousness of this tomato variety and the ability to grow it right on the windowsill make it possible for many lovers of organic food to get the fruits even in apartment conditions. The main care occurs during the growing season. The yield of the resulting seedlings depends on this.

The bush is formed into either one or two stems. With the first option, you need to carry out regular stepsoning. When grown indoors, you need to periodically shake the flowering bush to improve pollination. It is recommended to periodically fertilize with complex mineral fertilizers. At the same time, you should take no more than 5 grams of fertilizer per 1 kg of soil.

In hot and dry weather, care must be taken to ensure that the soil does not dry out. It is taken into account that drying occurs faster in indoor conditions than in open ground. Overwatering is just as harmful as lack of moisture.

Many have already tried to grow the Talisman tomato from their own experience. The description of this variety shows its advantages over its competitors, which, according to reviews, are confirmed in practice. With minimal care, the plant can delight you with environmentally friendly and tasty fruits. You can collect them both in the garden bed and in a city apartment.

Tips for additional care and feeding

The Amulet variety requires standard self-care measures. However, reviews from gardeners suggest that if you approach the issue from a more creative side, the harvest result may turn out to be much better than stated.

Feeding with fermented milk products

For example, you can additionally feed with fermented milk products. The yield of the variety is best affected by soil with a weak acidity index. You can stabilize acidity with sour milk.

You can prepare fertilizer for the variety yourself in a simple way. To do this, sour milk is mixed with water in proportions 1:2. The berries must be fed with this fertilizer at the very beginning of the gardening season, then after harvesting and in the autumn season, October.

Feeding with yeast

The expression “grow by leaps and bounds” also applies to strawberries. Especially if you know how to properly feed the berries using this simple culinary additive. First of all, yeast is beneficial for Amulet strawberries due to its high iodine content. Proportions for preparing the solution: 1 kilogram per 5 liters of water. Half a liter will require 10 liters of water. The calculation for bushes is as follows: 0.5 liters for 10 strawberry bushes.

If you only have dry yeast on hand, the mixture is prepared a little differently. For 1 standard size bucket you will need a package of yeast and a couple of spoons of sugar. First, the yeast itself must be diluted in a glass of warm water. Then sugar is added to the resulting solution in the indicated proportions. After dissolving the sugar, let it brew for a couple of hours. This solution must be fed to strawberries 3 times during the summer season.

Additional feeding with ash

Ash is very beneficial for the plant due to the content of beneficial microelements. It must be applied to the furrows of the strawberry beds. Calculation of fertilizing for the Amulet variety is 150 grams per 1 square meter.

When using fertilizer, it is worth remembering that it is incompatible with urea; ash is applicable with other fertilizers. After applying this fertilizer, the soil is saturated with nutrients, the soil structure is improved, and the taste is improved. The affordability of feeding is also considered an advantage.

Using these tips, you can get a high-quality harvest of the Amulet berry variety.

It is difficult to find a garden plot where strawberries are not grown. Vegetable growers set aside at least a couple of beds for this tasty, sweet berry. Breeders have developed varieties and hybrids that can be easily grown even in areas with an unfavorable climate. One of these territories is Siberia.

Pests of hanging tomatoes of the “Talisman” variety

When growing tomatoes of this variety in open ground, it is very difficult to avoid pests and diseases.

What diseases can tomatoes have:

mosaic - spots of a different color appear on the leaves: lighter or darker. Over time, the leaves curl and grooves appear on them. In this state, the plant suffers, which affects the yield. The fruits gradually turn yellow and dry out, the plant lacks nutrients, and it begins to die. Control measures: removal of affected bushes and complete destruction; Late blight is one of the most terrible diseases of tomatoes of any kind. How it manifests itself: dark areas appear on the fruit, which, upon closer examination, are located under the skin. The leaves also suffer: they become covered with a light coating. Treatment of plants with any fungicides is required at the initial stage of the disease. For example, drugs containing copper “Ridomil”, “Acrobat”, “Thanos”. When processing bushes, you need to calculate the period of decomposition of the substance, otherwise you can be poisoned by the processed fruits. In order not to overload the plants with chemicals, you can use old proven methods: treat the plants with 1% Bordeaux mixture 2 weeks before harvest, in combination with copper oxychloride and cuprosate, take no more than 30 g per 10 liters of water; “Brown spot” disease - a brownish coating appears on the lower part of the leaves. One of the main methods is prevention; you need to remove all dry and damaged plant debris; cracking - this variety is practically not susceptible to cracking, but this can happen with excess moisture. Therefore, when caring for plants, it is important to observe moderation in watering and loosen the soil in time (when growing on the site), and in flowerpots - to ensure good drainage and to grow tomatoes in light soils.

Let's look at them and find out how to deal with them:

1. The most insidious pest of tomatoes of any variety is the mole cricket. It digs deep tunnels underground, gnawing at the base of the stems. Because of this, plants quickly die. To get rid of a mole cricket, you need to try hard. One of the effective methods is soil cultivation with “Thunder”. It is advisable to begin pest control before planting. A teaspoon of the substance is placed in the holes that the mole cricket has dug, going 5 cm deep, then the soil is well watered. The granules get wet and this smell attracts pests that eat the bait. After a couple of days, all the mole crickets die.
2. Wireworm is another garden pest that damages the root system of tomatoes by getting inside the plants. The fight against this pest is difficult because you need to dig up the entire area and select all the larvae. But the method works temporarily until new individuals migrate from the neighboring area. This pest is afraid of lime, so after digging it is necessary to add lime to the soil and put a handful of lime in each hole when planting garden crops.
3. The Colorado potato beetle can harm plants if there is too much of it in the area. Striped bugs crawl under the lower leaves, laying eggs. Young individuals, developing, gradually gnaw leaves, approaching the trunks. Control measures: manual collection of pests and destruction on neutral territory, away from the site.
4. Slugs are another pest of tomatoes. When grown in flowerpots on the site, they can reach tomatoes. They love a humid environment, waterlogged soils and if the tomato crops in the open ground are thickened. If you want to grow hanging tomatoes on your plot, you must maintain a distance of at least 60 cm when planting.

Gardeners use the main secret of preventing many diseases, “Amulet”. It consists of removing dry leaves and inspecting the formed fruits. If there are spots on the fruits, and before this changes could be noticed on the leaves, this may indicate late blight. The stem suffers from this and becomes brown. The root system changes color. If the plant fits these descriptions, there is no way to save it.

As for a disease such as dry spotting, it is extremely rare for the “Obereg” tomato variety. But once the disease appears, it spreads quickly. This means that the gardener’s reaction should be immediate. To eliminate the disease, high-quality and proven fungicides are used, which will quickly destroy the cause of dry rot in the form of a pathogenic microorganism. Bacterial spotting, which occurs in Amulet, is eliminated in the same way.
