Features of growing the variety
To grow tomatoes, seedlings are used, and the seed is pre-soaked in a special growth stimulator. Seeds are sown with minimal depth and placed in a warm place. After the real leaves appear, picking is carried out. Tomatoes are transplanted into a greenhouse in the second half of May with mandatory subsequent care. No more than 3 bushes are planted per square meter, since otherwise the yield rate decreases.
Picking
After the appearance of 2 true leaves, picking is carried out. Each seedling is placed in a separate container. If one container is used, the distance between plants should be sufficient. Tomatoes are transplanted into a greenhouse or open ground only in the 2nd half of May, since you need to wait for the soil to warm up and there is no risk of frost.
When planting in holes, be sure to add fertilizer based on wood ash and a mineral complex. After replanting the tomatoes, water the soil.
Stepsoning
Pruning of stems without an ovary is mandatory. Each bush should have 1 - 2 large and powerful stems. To stop the growth of the plant, pinch the top point of the plant. This type of work contributes to obtaining a high-quality and decent harvest. It is imperative to periodically inspect the bushes and promptly tie them to supports or to a trellis.
Watering
Watering turns out to be a very important procedure, and only warm water is used. Watering is carried out in the evening or on a cloudy day, since otherwise there is a risk of leaf burn due to water heated by the sun's rays and drying out on the leaves of the bushes. It is advisable to water at the root of the plant.
Top dressing
Throughout the season, tomatoes are fed twice a month. Organic and mineral fertilizers are used, guided by classic dosages for each bush.
Growing and care
Tomatoes require regular watering every few days or as the soil dries out. Water in the evening or in the morning, when there is no direct sunlight, and heat the water.
If watering is irregular (there are long periods of drought), the fruits may crack.
Tomatoes are fed up to 5 times per season, avoiding overdose.
- The first fertilizing after transplantation to a permanent place is applied after 10-14 days. Use a solution of a complex mineral preparation or an organic fertilizer, for example, a solution of mullein, bird droppings or nettle infusion.
- In the future, feed every 3-4 weeks. Apply small doses of mineral fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium.
- Periodically spray the bushes leaf by leaf with weak solutions of mineral fertilizers or boric acid.
The soil is regularly loosened and the bushes are hilled. To maintain moisture balance, you can mulch the ground around the tomatoes with hay, sawdust, and peat.
No pinning is required, but gartering is required as needed.
Diseases and pests
The hybrid tomato variety Yellow Caramel exhibits optimal resistance to diseases and pests. However, for prevention, it is recommended to loosen or mulch the soil with peat, remove weeds in a timely manner, and use folk remedies. For example, when planting, a tomato is treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
When infested with thrips or spider mites, it is recommended to use insecticides before the plants flower, since only safe products are used during fruit formation (decoction of celandine or onion peels). Prevention will contribute to obtaining a high-quality and rich harvest.

Gardeners' opinions
This summer I planted new Alpha tomatoes. The early-ripening tomato produced a good harvest 90 days after planting. There were no difficulties with growing. I watered it in the evening, fed it 5 times over the summer, and loosened the soil. I planted 5 bushes per 1 square. meter. Next year I will try to plant more, 8 bushes per 1 square meter. meter. The tomato is compact and does not require garter. I didn’t find any cons for myself.
