What is an Emperor tomato?

The Emperor variety is quite easy to distinguish from other tomatoes.

Attention is drawn to external parameters and characteristics, among which it is worth noting the following:

• height of bushes - from 1.8 to 2 m;
• the plants are spreading, very wide and dense;
• powerful developed root system;
• high productivity;
• large fruits;
• pleasant taste;
• unpretentiousness.

The variety can be grown both in open ground and in greenhouses or greenhouses, in which summer residents from the middle regions of Russia often grow tomatoes.

Characteristics and description of the variety:

1. Emperor tomatoes weigh from 150 to 250 g, the average weight of one fruit is 200 g, although with good care the weight can reach 500 g.
2. Fleshy, juicy, sugary and tender pulp.
3. Having a balanced taste.
4. Flat-round shape with large ribs.
5. Carrot red or bright red color.
6. The fruiting period is long, so with a sharp drop in temperature, summer residents will continue to receive tasty tomatoes.

The variety is characterized by a high level of productivity. From one bush you can collect from 10 to 12 kg of fruit. The brushes of the bushes seem to be strewn with fruits, which makes them look like apricots. If you properly care for the bushes during the growing season, you can increase the yield several times.

Diseases and pests

Tomatoes of the Marfa variety are resistant to the main diseases of nightshades: verticillium, fusarium, cladosporiosis, tobacco mosaic, root-knot nematode.
For prevention, it is recommended to disinfect the soil by calcining or pouring a hot solution of potassium permanganate. It is useful to spray planted plants with phytosporin or another drug with an antifungal and antiviral effect. Young tomatoes are often affected by aphids, whiteflies, and thrips. Spraying with an industrial insecticide or a decoction of celandine helps against flying insects. An aqueous solution of ammonia will save you from naked slugs, and frequent washing of the plants with warm soapy water will destroy aphids.

The hybrid tomato Marfa has proven itself well on farms and private farms. It combines well with other varieties, continuing fruiting in conditions under which other tomatoes do not form ovaries.

Growing seedlings

For sowing seedlings, use purchased soil or prepare it yourself. From the options for preparation, take 2 parts of turf soil, one part each of humus and sand. Add a glass of ash to the bucket of the mixture.

For planting seedlings, use wooden boxes or separate containers. Drainage holes are made at the bottom of the container to drain excess water. When sowing in boxes, grooves are made on the surface of the soil at a distance of 4 cm, seeds are planted at a distance of 2 cm from each other to a depth of 1 cm. When planting, 2 seeds are planted in a separate container.

Then cover with polyethylene and take it to a warm place (23-25°C). After germination, remove the film and transfer the containers for 5 days to a well-lit, cool place (16-18°C). Afterwards, the temperature is maintained at 21-23°C during the day and 16-18°C at night.

The duration of daylight for seedlings should be 12-14 hours. If necessary, supplement the seedlings with phytolamps. The soil is periodically watered and loosened to prevent drying out and the formation of a top crust.

Advantages of the variety

The popularity of the Salute tomato has not decreased since 1984. How did the low-growing tomato bribe gardeners? Advantages:

1. Productivity is high, while extended ripening allows you to enjoy fresh fruits right up to frosts in late autumn. Up to 4 kg are collected from the bush.
2. Long-term storage of collected fruits, as well as their transportation, is possible.
3. Tomatoes are fleshy, suitable for any type of preparation, and can be eaten raw.
4. Resistance to many diseases, including tobacco mosaic.

1. The bush is not resistant to late blight.
2. Regular feeding is required.

• Care for the variety is minimal; you need to pay more attention to soil preparation and subsequent fertilizing. Each bush must be treated to prevent late blight. The tomatoes ripen unevenly, but they are all of the same quality. The fruits are strong, do not lose their shape when salted, and their decorative appearance is preserved in jars (Nadezhda, Volgograd).
• Tomato Salute will always provide a harvest. I consider this variety to be the main one in the garden. I am experimenting with other seeds, but if the “newbies” are not pleased with the quality, there will always be tasty tomatoes from the small but abundantly fruiting bushes of Salyut (Nikolai, Moscow region).

Care

Basic moments:

• The optimal watering regime is twice every 10 days.
• Irrigation should be regulated during flowering or during prolonged droughts.
• Additionally, the ground is mulched to reduce the level of evaporation and maintain soil moisture at an acceptable level.
• Heavy soils are fertilized less often and watered more often. Mineral material is preferred as a fertilizer during transplantation.
• Then fertilizing is applied, adhering to the principle of alternation - once with organic matter, the second with mineral fertilizer.

Advice. Additionally, you can use compost, which, after the flowering stage, helps the bushes maintain their defenses against pathogens.

Advantages of the type

Tomatoes have gained popularity due to their ability to be used raw and in cooking; thanks to their delicious sugary pulp, cooked dishes acquire a special taste. The advantages of the variety include:

• good resistance to environmental changes;
• the ability to quickly recover from stress;
• aesthetic appearance of large fruits;
• the ability to show high yields when grown in difficult climatic regions.

The plant is loved by gardeners because of its unpretentiousness to growing conditions and persistent immunity to most tomato diseases. A minor drawback is the requirement for the composition and treatment of the soil, the presence of minerals and fertilizers.

Features of the fruit

The fruits of the Emperor Chu Fu tomato are large, the weight of one tomato reaches from 400 to 600 grams. Vegetables are distinguished by their rounded flat shape and bright reddish color.

The variety is distinguished by its high yield rates. On average, one bush can produce up to 9 kg of tomatoes. Thanks to their thick, strong skin, tomatoes do not crack and can withstand storage and transportation conditions well.

Pests and diseases

Like other first-generation hybrids, “Stresa” does not suffer too much from typical nightshade diseases: verticillium, fusarium, tobacco mosaic. For prevention, you need to frequently ventilate the greenhouse, loosen the soil, and simultaneously remove weeds. To prevent root rot, the soil can be mulched with straw or peat. Having noticed the first signs of late blight, the plantings need to be treated with copper-containing preparations.

Insect pests are controlled with insecticides, but their use after the start of fruiting is prohibited. You can replace toxic drugs with a decoction of celandine, onion peel, chamomile, as well as a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate. An aqueous solution of ammonia works great against naked slugs.

A promising hybrid, Stresa is suitable for commercial cultivation and is often planted in farm greenhouses. But it is also good for private farmsteads. Undemanding, productive plants that produce a bountiful harvest will certainly take root in your garden.

Features of care

The plant is grown by seedlings. Sowing is carried out in the second half of February. It is recommended to pre-prepare the seeds by soaking the planting material in a solution of 2.5 liters of warm water and a teaspoon of baking soda. For seeds, it is recommended to prepare the following soil composition:

• 10 parts of earth, including turf, sand, humus;
• 50 grams of superphosphate;
• 1 liter of wood ash;
• 50 grams of urea.

Cultivation is carried out at a temperature of 23-24 C0, with a gradual decrease in temperature closer to the time of transplantation to a permanent place.

Seedlings can be planted after reaching a height of 3 cm. Until then, planting is recommended to be done once every week. More frequent watering can lead to the appearance of blackleg. The distance between each bush should be from 70 to 90 cm, and 1-1.5 meters between rows is sufficient. The first watering is carried out 7 days after planting, for which only warm water is used.

Due to their high growth, adult bushes require additional support in the form of tying.
