Ultra-early, non-capricious, low-growing and very tasty tomato “Boni MM”: a complete overview of the variety and its cultivation

Every few years, breeders delight gardeners with new varieties. What can they come up with to collect all the best in one variety: taste, color, and unpretentiousness! They say that Russians are a patient people, but where then do they say that they want summer or spring faster?

And just like every gardener wants to quickly taste ripe and ripe fruit or vegetable. It would seem: you just need to go to the store, fortunately, the shelves are full of different varieties of cucumbers, tomatoes or fruits. But apparently, summer residents prefer to grow their own, native ones. However, even here they are impatient, since they want to eat fresh salad in a couple of months. Probably for them, breeders created a variety that received the fancy name Boni mm.

Description of the variety

It is difficult to say what motivated the breeders when they came up with the name. What if you taste a juicy berry and you want to dance? Or did they create the variety at the peak of this disco group's popularity? Unknown. In any case, the variety, obtained in the late 80s, was registered in the register of breeding achievements only at the beginning of the new millennium. The boni mm tomato is grown in almost any region of Russia, but most often this honor is given to the middle zone, as well as the Urals and the Far East.

Judging by the reviews of summer residents, the score for Boni tomatoes is low: no more than 3.5 points. The description of the variety is standard: an early-ripening and determinate (short-growing) plant, with good yield indicators. Judging by the characteristics and description, this variety of tomatoes is almost universal, that is, it is suitable for growing in open ground, in a greenhouse, and even in hotbeds. The ripening period from the appearance of the first shoots to the fruits is 83-88 days (about 2-2.5 months).

Appearance of the bush and fruit

Numerous positive reviews from gardeners indicate that the Boni mm tomato is loved not only for its early ripening. First of all, it is loved for its small bush growth. The bush reaches no more than half a meter in height. Others grow a little taller, but this does not affect the quality of the fruit in any way. What's good about being short? Because the plant does not need to be tied up, pinched or shaped. It grows beautifully on its own, until the first inflorescence develops.

True, if several large fruits hang on the fruit clusters, some gardeners still tie the main stem to a support. This way the plant will not bend towards the ground. The branching and foliage of Boni mm is at an average level. The tomato leaf of the plant is small in size and dark green in color. Simple inflorescences are located on a large, straight and stocky stem.

Characteristics of the fruits: as soon as they become full of strength, they begin to ripen, so you will have to try them very soon. When young, they are green, like all tomato berries. When ripe, the fruits of the boni mm tomato are a bright red, rich color. The shape of the fruit is flat-round, the size of the berries is uneven, sometimes both small and large are found. But the small ones are usually at the bottom. The average weight of berries varies from 60 to 100 grams.

Attention: remove ripe fruits in time to avoid cracking.

Distinctive features of bonny mm

In principle, each variety of fruits and vegetables is somewhat different from the others. The main difference between this tomato (based on the description of the variety) is its early ripening period. Other distinguishing features are not so significant:

• Fruit size;
• Compactness of the bush.

Secrets of gardeners

Experienced gardeners have their own interesting tricks for increasing the yield of tomatoes and growing them successfully:

• After the first abundant watering, the plants are lightly earthed up. This technique allows the seedling to form new roots, which helps strengthen the young bush;
• Although the bush of this variety is strong, still during the ripening period, if the clusters are full of fruits, you need to cover the soil well with a thick layer of mulch. There are two goals here: the bed does not dry out; the fruits, even drooping down with an overloaded brush, will remain clean;
• They get a super early harvest, almost 5-6 days earlier than the agreed upon date, by splitting the plant stem. Using a sharp knife, the bottom of the stem is cut lengthwise, then a stick is inserted into the hole, which prevents the stem from growing together. Stress forces the bush to devote all its strength to the formation of fruits.
• They also regulate the size of the fruits, cutting off the smallest ones that are at the end of the cluster. The classic technique recommends picking brown tomato berries from the first bunch for ripening, so that the fruits on the next ones will be larger and more uniform.

Having once planted powerful and compact tomato bushes of this variety, gardeners usually never part with them.

Irina P., 46 years old, Kostroma

I plant several recommended varieties of tomatoes in the greenhouse. Last year I tried Boni MM tomatoes for the first time. They differed from other sprouts even at the seedling stage: low and strong. A good early ripening variety, so the fruits are small. I liked the yield. It is definitely registered in my greenhouse for now.

Lyudmila G., 57 years old, Khokholsky district, Voronezh region.

We planted Boni MM tomatoes from purchased seedlings in open ground. There were already flowers on the plants. At the end of June the fruits were collected. We enjoyed them - the first ones, sweet and sour. I’ll try to grow it with my own seeds, even though there are almost no seeds in the pulp.

Sergey Ivanovich, 59 years old, Mytishchi

Boni M variety is fast. We collect in the greenhouse in June. There are a lot of tomatoes, small, but early. When the rest ripen, these plants are already harvested. We've been gardening for several years now. And the first year they fed it after the first harvest, and in September the same bushes gave a harvest.

Fruit characteristics

The taste of the fruit is good “tomato”, with a characteristic sourness. But the main taste is still sweetish. Boni mm tomato fruits have a dense skin, under which there is tasty, juicy and fleshy pulp, with three seed chambers. Due to the thickness of the skin, tomatoes are excellent for transportation over long distances. Almost all tomato fruits are universal in purpose. When you look at the photo, you just want to try the berry.

Advantages and disadvantages

Each variety of tomato, be it boni mm or another, has its pros and cons. In the end, you can't please everyone. Each person has their own taste. Let's look at the most significant advantages of the variety:

• High yields;
• Very early ripening;
• Practically does not suffer from any nightshade diseases (including late blight);
• Low bushes;
• Hardy, grows calmly at any temperature;
• The berries ripen at the same time;
• Good performance for transportation;
• Boni mm can be grown anywhere, even on the balcony.

The description of the variety suggests that it has few disadvantages. The most significant ones are quite small fruits, the taste is not for everyone; fast fruiting period. And in order for a plant to produce a good harvest, the soil must be fertile.

Area of ​​application of fruits

As a rule, fresh tomatoes are used for salads. But some “advanced” summer residents even make jam from green berries. The fruits are used not only for preparing salads and whole-fruit canning, but also for preparing sauces, ketchup, lecho, adjika and other preparations.

Resistance to diseases and pests

The Boni mm variety has excellent immunity to almost all nightshade diseases. Occasionally it is affected by late blight, but this is only due to the fault of the gardener. If the soil is not waterlogged, the disease can be avoided. And if you treat the ovaries and foliage with special or folk remedies, pests will not appear on the bush.

Productivity and fruiting

Yield indicators for boni mm are quite good: from one sq. meters, up to 10 kg of fruits are collected (with denser planting and regular feeding). The average yield is up to 6.5 kg per square meter. m. Approximately 2 kg of berries are harvested from one plant. The plant begins to bear fruit at the end of June. It is short-lived: just two weeks - and the harvest will end.

Farmer reviews

All farmers note the unpretentiousness of the Boni MM tomato. However, not everyone likes the taste of its fruits.

Irina Metelkina, Shumerlya: “I have been growing Boni MM for more than 10 years. Of course, the tomatoes have a mediocre taste, but they ripen earlier than others. Already in June there are tomatoes on the table. Very easy to grow. Requires minimal maintenance."

Andrey Pokhvalenko, Zheleznogorsk: “I’ve been familiar with the Boni MM tomato for several years. I grow it at the dacha. I water it once a week. I tie it up, because otherwise the berries lie on the ground. Otherwise, I don’t see any difficulties in care.”

How to grow tomato seedlings

Tomato seedlings can be grown through seed soil in special containers. No additional devices are required. Since boni mm is not a hybrid, the seeds are taken from a mature fruit. Or they buy it in a special store. The period from the first shoots to transplantation to a permanent place is approximately a month and a half.

Preparation of planting material

In order for the seeds to germinate normally and the procedure not to cause inconvenience, you need to do several manipulations. First, check the planting material for suitability. The method is very simple: leave the seeds in lightly salted water for half an hour. Those seeds that are suitable for planting will drown. Seeds that float to the surface are “empty”, unusable. They need to be caught with a strainer and thrown away. Next, you need to disinfect the seeds so that they do not get sick with any disease. To do this, soak in a light pink solution of potassium permanganate. Or in a weak solution of soda, for 12 hours. To speed up the future germination of seeds, the drugs “Epin” and “Fitosporin” are used. Or spray with water with honey or aloe juice.

Selection of containers and soil

Tomatoes are grown in the usual way. As a rule, seeds are sown in special plastic low boxes or trays. But some summer residents are too lazy to go to the store and to grow seedlings they use homemade dishes: cuttings of juice packaging or plastic dishes, bottles. As soon as the young growth can be planted, the seedlings are planted in separate containers: homemade or cardboard pots.

Selecting seeding soil is an important step. After all, it depends on its condition and beneficial microflora whether the seeds will grow or not. Reviews from gardeners indicate that most of the seeds do germinate: the germination rate is approximately 60-65%.

You can buy soil at the store or make it yourself. To do this you need to take:

• Peat;
• Chernozem;
• Humus - all in equal proportions.

Both purchased and homemade soil need to be prepared for planting. This is necessary so that beneficial microflora is restored in it. To do this, heat the oven to almost maximum temperature and place the soil for an hour. This procedure is done two weeks before sowing the seeds. In order to enrich the soil with useful microelements, wood ash and superphosphate diluted in water are added to it. For disinfection, a weak solution of potassium permanganate is added to the soil.

Sowing seeds

The sowing procedure begins approximately 1.5-2 months before the intended planting in the ground or greenhouse. Boni tomato mm is usually planted in mid-spring. The sowing procedure itself is as follows:

• Soil is poured into prepared and disinfected containers, not reaching the edges by about 3 cm;
• Planting material is sown to a depth of no more than 5 cm, with a distance between them of no more than 2 cm;
• Sprinkle with a layer of earth, without compaction;
• The soil is moistened with warm, settled water using a sprayer;
• Next, the containers are covered with film and placed in a warm place. The warmer the place, the faster the seeds will germinate.

Important: the film is needed to create a greenhouse effect. Seeds need not only warmth, but also moisture. Thanks to the greenhouse effect, they will germinate faster.

Seedling care

It is necessary to care for the seedlings, otherwise the young seedlings will simply die. The most important thing is timely watering. What other actions are required:

• Periodically moisten the soil from a sprayer. Sometimes, if there is too much moisture in the soil, mold will appear. But there is no need to panic and pull out the seedlings. Simply remove the affected area and water the soil with a weak solution of potassium permanganate;
• As soon as the seeds have sprouted, they need to be transferred to a well-lit place, because the tomato comes from South America, and light is its “second self”. If there is little light, its lack is compensated for by fluorescent lamps;
• After seed germination, the film is removed;
• Young plants should be watered at the root, avoiding liquid getting on the greens;
• When two true leaves appear on the seedlings, pick (transplant) into separate containers;
• Apply three feedings. The first is a couple of weeks after transplantation. The second - again in two weeks. The third - five days before landing in a permanent place. Type of fertilizer - a complex of minerals.

Attention: two weeks before planting in the garden, the seedlings are hardened off by taking the young plants out into the fresh air.

Agricultural technology of the Boni MM variety

Sowing seeds

Sowing of seeds is carried out 55-60 days before the planned date of transplanting into the ground. You should be responsible when calculating the date for planting tomatoes. Overexposed plants, just like undergrown ones, have difficulty adapting to a new place, lose color and set fruit poorly.

In regions with long and guaranteed warm summers, the seeds of this ultra-early ripening variety can be sown directly into the ground. When grown in this way, in April, the seeds are sown on the bed in a thickened planting pattern or a distance of 10-15 cm is left between them. For the first time, the bed is covered with film. After germination, the seedlings are carefully watered as the top layer of soil dries. Shoots that are too dense are thinned out in the phase of 2-3 true leaves, thinner ones in the phase of 4-5 leaves. Plants removed during thinning can be planted in a new location. To protect small seedlings from pests, they are sprinkled with ash or treated with special means. It is good to feed young tomatoes with organic fertilizers, for example, fermented infusion of nettle or mullein, once every 7-10 days. It is believed that tomatoes grown using this method are not subject to stress during transplantation and therefore are stronger and harvest earlier.

Site preparation and fertilization

During the winter period, the soil becomes very compacted and before planting it must be dug to a depth of 20-25 cm. If the soil was not filled with fertilizers during the autumn work, then this can be done in the spring. It is most productive to add nutrients to the holes immediately before planting. You can use the following composition: add 2 cups of wood ash to a bucket of compost. When planting, one liter of mixture is used for each tomato.

Timing of transplantation into soil and features of planting varieties

The timing of transplantation into the ground varies depending on the cultivation zone. In warm southern regions this time falls on April 15-25, in the middle zone - from May 1 to 10, in cool northern regions - from May 25 to June 10. During these periods, as a rule, spring frosts already recede irrevocably.

Due to the fact that “Boni MM” is an ultra-early ripening, low-growing, standard tomato, you can use various planting methods. Here are some of them:

1. Square nest method. Planting holes are marked at a distance of 60-65 cm from each other. 2-3 seedlings are planted in each of them at a distance of 5-7 cm.
2. Tape method. For planting, prepare a continuous furrow, 15-20 cm deep. The length of the furrow depends on desire and possibility. Seedlings are planted in a furrow at a distance of 20-25 cm from each other. If several furrows are planned, the distance between them should be about 60 cm.

To ensure that the rows are even, pegs and a cord stretched between them are used for marking. The holes or furrow are shed generously with warm water and left for a while to allow the water to be absorbed. Then the seedlings are carefully removed from the individual pots and, without disturbing the earthen ball, they are laid out at the required distance, depending on the chosen pattern. When planting, plants are buried 3-4 cm deeper than they grew before in separate containers. The furrow or holes are filled with soil, compacted and watered well again. Watering is carried out very carefully, without eroding the soil near the seedlings.

Thus, with any planting method, 6-8 plants fit on one square meter. This greatly saves space in the garden and increases productivity significantly. The plants feel great.

Interesting! The taste characteristics of ripening tomatoes directly depend on weather conditions - in cloudy cold weather the fruits are more saturated with sourness, in sunny hot summers they are sweet and tasty.

Care after transplant

The first two weeks the plants do not need special care. Quite the contrary, they need time to get used to new living conditions. The main tasks for this period are maintaining soil moisture and protecting against night frosts. To maintain moisture, plants are watered moderately every two to three days. To prevent a crust from forming on the surface of the soil, the next day after watering the soil is carefully and shallowly loosened.

To protect against critically low temperatures, the following methods are used:

• they put hats made of newspapers or burlap on the bushes;
• they build caps from tree branches or spruce branches around the plants;
• arrange artificial smoke from previously prepared and laid out piles of garbage;
• carry out night-time fine-drip irrigation by sprinkling.

After the plants take root and become stronger, care will consist of rare and not abundant watering, weeding and loosening. There is no need to pin and tie up plants of this variety. Regular weeding and loosening can be replaced with one simple mulching procedure. Summer residents often neglect mulching, considering it a waste of time. In fact, this simple and labor-intensive agricultural technique performs several important functions at once:

• mulch protects the top layer of soil from drying out;
• a layer of mulch prevents weeds from germinating;
• when watering, protects the top layer of soil from erosion;
• accelerates ripening and increases yield;
• When mulching with grass, natural, additional fertilization of the soil occurs.

Plants of this variety do not require additional fertilizing during the growing season. For active growth and good fruiting, they need enough nutrients added to the soil before or during transplantation into the ground.

Planting seedlings in the ground

As soon as the threat of spring frosts has passed, the seedlings can be transplanted to a permanent location. If the climate is warm, some intrepid people plant the seeds through direct seeding, directly into the ground. This can be done in early May. But then you must definitely plant the seedlings under a film cover. The planting pattern in the ground is as follows: 70 * 30-40 cm, with thickening 7-8 plants per 1 square meter. meter.

Preparing the beds

Before transplanting young seedlings into open ground, the soil is prepared. Firstly, this will help in the future to avoid attacks by many pests and significantly reduce crop maintenance. What is needed for this:

• In the fall, dig up the soil. This procedure will help remove the remains of previous plants (including weeds) and pests that have hibernated in the ground;
• Add nutritious fertilizers: a few grams of humus, a couple of tablespoons of phosphorus fertilizer and a couple of liters of diluted wood ash.

Time for planting in the ground

Sowing of seedlings takes place around the beginning of May. If your region is cold and has a changeable climate, plant tomatoes in late May or early summer.

Planting tomatoes in a permanent place

As soon as the soil for the beds is prepared and the seedlings have gained strength and hardened, they can be replanted. The period from the first shoots to transplantation is approximately a month. You won’t have to wait long, since the variety is early ripening.

Rules for caring for bonnie mm

Tomatoes of any variety are cared for almost the same way. Further care for tomatoes consists of proper watering, periodic feeding, removal of weeds and prevention of diseases and pests. Water the beds infrequently, but plentifully as the soil dries. The very first watering is carried out two weeks after planting, the interval is 3-5 days. There is no need to water the seedlings right away: it is necessary for its root system to establish itself in the soil. Water - only warm and settled.

Since the bush itself is small, it does not require shaping or tying up. Due to its early ripening, the tomato does not require the removal of stepsons. Caring for the bush involves removing yellowed foliage and unsightly inflorescences. The soil is also periodically fed: several times a season, with liquid organic matter. It is applied at the root. Foliar application is made a couple of times per season. And to speed up the formation of fruit ovaries, they are sprayed with compounds containing boron.

Important: after each watering the soil must be loosened. This will enrich it with oxygen and prevent the occurrence of fungal diseases.

Diseases and harmful insects

Thanks to its innate immunity, the boni mm tomato practically does not suffer from nightshade diseases. The most common disease of tomatoes is late blight. The main pests of tomatoes are the Colorado potato beetle, which is not averse to eating young green foliage; slugs that eat not only foliage, but also suck out nutritious juices from the stems; aphids and mole crickets

Pest and disease control

Many diseases can be avoided if containers, soil, seeds and garden tools are disinfected from time to time. Late blight can be prevented by not allowing excess moisture in the soil. The optimal treatment for insects is spraying with infusion of celandine. Crushed eggshells scattered around the bush will help against mole crickets and slugs. And the annoying aphids will be driven away by a solution of any soap.

Pest and disease control

Boni MM refers to varieties that are not affected by various diseases and pests. The main type of protection is early ripening, due to which diseases do not have time to develop on the fruit.

Slugs pose a danger to tomatoes. The variety is also susceptible to attack by mole crickets and wireworms that live in the ground. To protect the bushes from the harmful effects of pests, you will need to use special products, such as Karate or Actellik.

Photo review of damage to tomatoes by slugs from those who planted Boni MM:

One of the methods of control is soil treatment. You will need water with a solution of laundry soap. This is an effective option for neutralizing ticks and slugs. But some insects can only be controlled with the use of special preparations.

Features of growing in open and protected ground

This variety is recommended for growing mainly in open ground. Growing it there will give a good harvest in the future. As soon as the seedlings are transplanted to a new place, for the first couple of weeks they are covered with covering material at night. If tomatoes are grown in a greenhouse, the most important thing is to maintain normal humidity levels. To do this, the greenhouse is regularly ventilated. It would also be a good idea to mulch with burlap or dry grass. This will protect the roots from freezing and retain moisture.

Important: even if the sowing is done directly, through the ground, the summer resident will not collect his harvest soon: only in August.

Agrotechnics of cultivation

The breeders of this variety made sure that the agricultural technology for its cultivation was simple. It gives good yield with minimal labor and material costs during cultivation. But some features need to be taken into account:

1. Choosing a location. Like most early-ripening tomato varieties, Boni M is intended for cultivation in open ground, so areas well heated by the sun are chosen for them. The best for this will be the southern and southwestern slopes, protected from the northern winds. The area where potatoes and eggplants grew last season is not used. Harmful biological elements may accumulate in it, which will adversely affect the painless development of tomato plants. It is better to make the beds in place of last year's cultivation of onions, garlic, cucumbers, all varieties of cabbage and legumes, as well as pumpkins, zucchini and all root crops. The soil should be fertilized with potassium and nitrogen fertilizers;

1. Seed preparation. The seed manufacturer guarantees their high quality. Therefore, no special pre-seeding preparation is required. The seeds are pre-disinfected and undergone nutritional treatment. But if seed material made from last year’s period is used, then it is necessary to cull it. Fill them with water, high-quality seeds will remain at the bottom, and immature ones will float to the surface. The soaking procedure is always effective, but it should not last more than 12 hours;

1. Planting. This variety of tomatoes from the manufacturer's bags can be sown with seeds directly into the soil in early April. The row spacing is 30 cm, the distance between holes is 50 cm. Place up to 3 seeds in each hole. Pour with warm water not lower than 25 ° C;

1. After the seeds have sprouted and gained strength, you can leave up to two plants in the hole nearby;

1. Watering should be moderate. In a humid climate, it may be completely absent, but drying out the soil is extremely undesirable;

1. It is not necessary to make supports and tie up plants. The powerful stem and root system, the spreading shape of the bush make it stable.

Attention! The plant itself will stop growing along the main stem; you should not pinch it. It is not recommended to remove the lower leaves on the stem so as not to injure the outer layer of the stem

Despite the fact that the tomato variety Boni M is recommended by its creators for open ground, it is also possible to grow seedlings from seeds. The seeds are sown two weeks earlier, that is, in the third ten days of March. Seedlings are grown and then planted in open soil or greenhouse soil. This technique makes sense only for northern regions, when the soil may still be frozen at the beginning of April. The experience of gardeners in central Russia and more southern regions shows that plants sown in open soil are stronger. They quickly catch up with the seedlings, and fruiting begins at the same time, that is, at the end of June.

Mistakes of novice gardeners

When a summer resident is just starting to grow something, mistakes are possible along the way. With experience, these mistakes are avoided, and the plant delights with excellent growth and harvest. The most common mistakes made by newbies:

• Watering in the heat, which contributes to the appearance of burns. Only morning or evening!
• Watering with ice water causes rotting of the root system. Only settled and warm water!
• Planting tomatoes in shaded areas, which reduces the quality of yield and taste. Tomato loves light;
• Removing too much foliage, resulting in reduced yield and fruit quality. Remove only damaged leaves from below!

Errors during cultivation

If the tomato bushes begin to wither and the leaves turn yellow, then errors in care may have been made. Among the most common:

1. Waterlogging of the soil and rotting of the roots due to excessive watering.
2. Watering at noon will cause the seedlings to dry out quickly. Watering should only be done in the evening or early morning.
3. Planting seedlings in shaded areas - the Boni M variety is light-loving, it needs to be constantly in the sun.
4. Removing most of the foliage - you can pick off the leaves only below the first cluster of fruits.

You should not over-fertilize tomatoes - this will only lead to the growth of the green crown and a decrease in the quality and quantity of the harvest.

Secrets and tips

Every gardener has in his arsenal tricks that help him grow a richer harvest or get it as early as possible. Let's look at the most common ones:

• To get an earlier harvest, use the following: cut the tomato stem lengthwise with a sharp knife and insert a stick so that the stem does not grow together. A stressful situation helps the plant direct all its strength to ripening the fruits;
• To get larger fruits, all the fines are removed from the lower clusters.

Tips: when the bush bears fruit, it is advisable to mulch the soil to avoid drying out; After the young plants are watered for the first time, the bushes are lightly hilled. This will help the young plant form new roots; If you planted tomatoes in a shelter at the beginning of May, at the beginning of June they are transplanted into holes.

Features of care

The description of agricultural practices includes:

• Frequently water the seedlings with settled water in the first week after planting. Then, the soil is moistened every 2–3 days.
• Weeding weeds as they grow.
• Twice a month the bushes are fed with complex fertilizers or herbal infusions, after which the soil surface is loosened.
• Mulching to retain moisture and protect fruits from contamination at the beginning of tomato growth.

The yield of Boni MM will increase if you use the advice of experienced vegetable growers:

• Abundant watering at the beginning of cultivation is accompanied by hilling. This technique stimulates the formation of new roots, strengthening the young plant.
• To prevent rotting of drooping brushes, the soil is covered with a thick layer of mulch.
• Removing leaves from the lower part of the trunk improves the flow of air to the roots and increases the supply of nutrition to the fruits.
• In order to obtain more tomatoes, and earlier than the stated deadline, the stem is split and a wooden stick is inserted into the resulting hole.
• The weight of the fruit will increase when the lower, small tomatoes are removed.

Preparation of planting material and propagation

The timing of sowing the Boni MM tomato depends on weather conditions, as well as on exactly when the gardener wants to get the harvest. For example, if you want juicy fruits to appear at the beginning of summer, then the seeds should be sown in the first days of spring - in the first week of March. True, residents of the northern regions cannot afford to sow so early: they have to do it at the end of March.

Before sowing, the seeds must be carefully prepared and the following must be done:

The described procedures help:

• improving germination rates;
• awakening the plant;
• increasing their resistance to pests and diseases.

Landing algorithm

The plant should be replanted in open ground after 2 months have passed from the date of planting the seeds. The main guideline in choosing a suitable day should be weather conditions. At night, the temperature should not drop below +10°C, and the ground should be warmed to at least +15°C.

Boni MM tomatoes should be planted on a well-lit plot of land, further from the northern walls and any buildings. The plant requires a flow of fresh air, and they are not afraid of drafts. Immediately before planting, the soil must be prepared: loosened and moistened. You should also add in nutrients.

Fertilizers must be diluted with water, because their high concentration can negatively affect the health of plants and their productivity. It is best to prepare the soil before winter: dig it up in the fall and add humus. Reviews from gardeners indicate the importance of proper planting of Boni MM tomatoes in open ground.

It is recommended to follow the following rules:

• neighboring bushes of the same row should be located at a distance of more than 30 cm from each other;
• in this case, the distance between the rows should be 2 times greater - approximately 0.5 m;
• on a plot of 1 sq. m usually when planting tomatoes there are 4 bushes, but in the case of the Boni MM variety there can be more of them (up to 9), because they are compact;
• the holes should be shallow;
• during planting, abundant watering is required;
• the best time is a quiet, windless evening;
• To disinfect the soil, you can add a weak solution of potassium permanganate to each well.
