Timofey tomatoes: variety description

This is a determinant, standard hybrid of tomatoes, has the same name F1.
In terms of ripening time, it belongs to the mid-early species, that is, 100-110 days will pass from planting seedlings to harvesting. The plant is tall and lush up to 1.5 meters.

This hybrid variety is recommended for growing in film shelters and in open ground. Fruits that have reached varietal maturity are red in color, round in shape, flattened with little or no ribbing. The taste is bright, sugary, pleasant, characteristic of tomatoes.

They weigh 500-600 grams, when first collected they can reach 700 grams . The number of chambers is 3-5, the dry matter content is about 5%. Ripe tomatoes can be stored for a long time and tolerate transportation well. “Timofey F1” is a representative of folk selection; it received state registration as a hybrid recommended for cultivation in unprotected soil and film shelters in 2007. Since that time, it has been in steady demand among farmers and summer residents, thanks to its high commercial and varietal qualities.

Record weight

The variety is a new product from a team of breeding scientists under the leadership of V.F. Gavrisha. Registered in the state register in 2015. Due to the unrealistically large fruits of vegetables, it is included in the “Russian Hero” series. The variety is not very fast in terms of ripening time (from 120 days), therefore it requires early planting of seedlings, especially careful pinching and decent feeding.

In Siberia and Central Russia it works well only in closed ground conditions, including a greenhouse. The average return from a bush is 3.6 (plus or minus) kg, the record is 7 kg. The tomatoes are flat-round, slightly ribbed, have an excellent smell and are very juicy, each weighing 400-600 g, not uncommon - 800 g.

Planting and care

The Antiufay tomato is not a particularly finicky hybrid, however, to obtain early production, it is recommended to grow it in seedlings. Planting and caring for the Antyufey tomato is almost identical to the rules of agricultural technology for many other varieties of this crop. Sowing is carried out 50 days before the planned date of planting seedlings in the ground. Seeds are placed in seed boxes with disinfected fertile soil at a distance of 2 cm from each other. Then the crops are moistened and sprinkled with soil with a layer of 1-1.5 cm. Until the emergence of shoots, the temperature is maintained at +22+26 C.

After the appearance of single shoots, fluorescent lamps are installed above the box, at a height of 15-20 cm. As the seedlings grow, the lamp is raised.

When the seedlings have 1-2 leaves, pick them. This technique will allow future bushes to obtain a powerful root system. Plants are planted in peat cups with a volume of 300-350 ml.

After 10 days, the first fertilizing is carried out with ammonium nitrate or urea. After another 10 days - with complex fertilizer. When transplanted into the ground, the seedlings should have 4-5 leaves and buds on the first flower cluster.

Plant the Antyufey tomato in prepared beds in a place protected from wind and drafts. The soil must be nutritious and well-drained. Areas where water stagnates, lowlands and salt marshes are not suitable for growing tomatoes.

For convenience, the Antyufey tomato is grown in paired rows in a checkerboard pattern. Depending on how many stems the bushes are planned to grow, the planting density is calculated. Usually it is 3-4 plants per 1 m2. When planting bushes, you should not throw away the stepsons; they can be rooted to produce new full-fledged plants.

Attention!

Unlike the collected seeds of the Antufei F1 tomato, which do not retain the properties of the mother plant, the stepsons are part of the bush and carry all the properties and characteristics of the variety.

Regardless of how many stems the Antyufey tomato is grown in (1, 2 or 3), the stems are tied to supports, as shown in the photo.

To retain moisture, the ground around the plants is mulched.

Caring for a tomato consists of watering, fertilizing and keeping the soil free of weeds.

When growing this variety in a greenhouse, in addition to all of the above, you should monitor humidity and temperature. If necessary, greenhouses are ventilated or shaded.

An important feature of the variety is not only its ability to withstand high temperatures for a long time, but also its resistance to fruit cracking during periods of prolonged rains.

Attention!

When choosing a support, you should take into account that Antyufay tomato brushes can reach a weight of 1.5 kg. Therefore, the support must be reliable and not break under the weight of the fruit. As already noted, to obtain a stable harvest, the Antyufey F1 tomato is periodically treated as preventive measures against diseases and pests
