Khlynovsky has significantly more advantages than disadvantages, which explains his popularity among summer residents.
Features of cultivation and storage
Transplantation of seedlings is carried out at the age of 55-60 days. The temperature outside when seating in open areas should be no lower than 16-18 degrees.
3-4 bushes are placed per 1 m2. The optimal distance between holes is 40 cm, between rows 50 cm. A complex of fertilizers is applied to the holes during planting:
- a handful of compost;
- 10 g superphosphate;
- 3-5 g of potassium sulfate;
- 1 tbsp. wood ash.
To achieve maximum yield, the following agricultural practices should be followed:
- balanced watering;
- regular feeding;
- mulching;
- formation in 2-3 trunks.
As a fertilizer, be sure to use a 1:10 diluted solution of manure or mullein. Complex mixtures such as Agrofit, Agricola, Kemira give a good effect.
Pest and disease control
Despite the variety’s resistance to fungal diseases, if agricultural practices are violated, plants can be affected by them. Fungicides are used in the fight against diseases.
The most dangerous pest of the variety is the spider mite. You can get rid of it using a soap solution that is sprayed on the plantings. In the southern regions of Russia, the Colorado potato beetle is often found on tomatoes. In the fight against it, the drugs Corado or Prestige are used. Manual collection of beetles with subsequent destruction is practiced.
Features of agricultural technology
Seedlings have been grown since February. Minor errors in timing do not affect the intensity of growth; on the contrary, later plantings are stimulated by the spring sun. There is no need to use activators.
You can plant tomatoes in the ground at 3 bushes per m², as shown in the photo. Shaded areas are suitable. Watering is carried out moderately, and water should not get on the leaves and fruits. The manufacturer recommends installing drip systems or watering at the root. Moisturizing is required once every 5 days.
Advice. Increased watering will be required during the ripening period.
Fertilizing is the basis for caring for the Khlynovsky tomato. If there is insufficient fertilization, the harvest will be poor, the fruits will gain less weight and lose flavor. Plants need mineral compounds. When the first bunches begin to ripen, you will need to feed them at least once a week.
Tomatoes should be planted carefully, and the lower leaves can be removed for better air circulation. It is recommended to leave no more than 3 stems. Shoots and fruiting clusters need to be tied up.
Diseases will have to be fought infrequently; the hybrid is resistant to verticillium, tobacco mosaic, as well as cladosporiosis, is extremely rare.
Khlynovsky tomatoes: description of agricultural technology
You need to sow seeds for seedlings 50-60 days before the planned planting in the soil, in March. To do this, you just need to plant them in disposable plastic cups with a volume of 200 ml, and when they take root, transplant them into cups with a volume of 500 g.
Important! If possible, it is better to plant the seeds in peat cups. You can plant grown seedlings directly in them, this will help not damage the root system.
Even at home, seedlings will be strong, but as they grow, water from the ground will evaporate at a very rapid rate. Over time, it is necessary to increase the number of waterings.
The best place to grow this plant in the house will be a windowsill near a large window. Tomatoes should be moved from window sill to window sill during the day, following the sunlight. You can keep the box in one place, but illuminate it with a lamp in the evening. Tomato seedlings are very responsive to such care.
Errors during cultivation
Vegetable growers who start growing tomatoes for the first time often make mistakes that affect the general condition of the crop and the final yield indicators. Among the most common are the following:
- violation of the basic rules of agricultural technology (sowing seeds, caring for seedlings, transplanting into beds);
- incorrect, incl. insufficient watering;
- lack or excess of fertilizing;
- untimely staking, pinching and thinning of foliage.
Variety endurance indicators
An important advantage of the modern hybrid Khlynovsky F1 is its ability to withstand diseases and the vagaries of the weather.
Climatic factors
Tomato Khlynovsky is not afraid of cold weather. Anyone who has planted these tomatoes notices that the fruits continue to set and ripen even in cool, cloudy weather. In addition, this hybrid tolerates even a lack of lighting and develops successfully in partial shade conditions.
The tomato can also withstand temperature changes. The development of ovaries can only be slowed down due to strong greenhouse heat - then it is necessary to establish through ventilation.
Reviews from gardeners indicate that the Khlynovsky F1 hybrid grows well in open ground, even in the Moscow region and Siberia. It is advisable to plant it on ridges protected from the wind. No more than four bushes are placed on one square meter. The age of young plants before planting in the ground should not exceed 55 days, otherwise there is a risk of losing the first ovaries. This can lead to stunted growth and reduced overall yield.
Disease resistance
Tomato Khlynovsky F1 was created genetically resistant to many tomato diseases. The hybrid is not affected by verticillium and fusarium wilt, and does not suffer from cladosporiosis. It is not infected with the tobacco mosaic virus, which is incurable. The variety is relatively resistant even to late blight. In addition to infections, the Khlynovsky tomato does not suffer from such a microscopic pest as the root-knot nematode.
Based on the totality of all its qualities, the hybrid tomato Khlynovsky F1 occupies a worthy place among large-fruited tomatoes for greenhouse cultivation. Its versatility allows you to obtain decent yields in open ground.
Characteristics of the Khlynovsky tomato
A distinctive feature of the variety is the green color of the fruit at the stage of technical ripeness. Tomato bunches are formed evenly. Therefore, the volume of the harvest does not change throughout the entire fruiting period. In addition, the hybrid is valued for its early harvest, high disease resistance and adaptive abilities.
Khlynovsky tomato yield and fruiting
The ripening period of the variety is medium or mid-early. The fruits can be harvested 110-120 days after emergence. In the greenhouse, the Khlynovsky variety ripens a week earlier. Even when the temperature drops, the number of ovaries does not decrease. Thanks to this feature, you can harvest up to 5 kg of ripe tomatoes from 1 bush. Productivity per 1 sq. m is 14 kg of tomatoes. Productivity can only be increased by strict adherence to the agricultural technology of growing the variety. In greenhouses with good equipment, figures of up to 35 kg of tomatoes per 1 sq. m area. Fruiting continues throughout the entire growing season.
Important! The ripening of the Khlynovsky hybrid begins 15 days earlier than that of indeterminate tomatoes.
Area of application of fruits
Khlynovsky tomatoes belong to the category of delicacies. They are consumed fresh, used for preparing second courses and canning. Tomato varieties have excellent taste when pickled in barrels. Ripe fruits are used to prepare sauces, ketchups, juices and pastes.
Resistance to diseases and pests
The originators of the variety have high resistance to most nightshade diseases. Khlynovsky is not susceptible to infection with tobacco mosaic, verticillium, cladosporiosis, and fusarium. Late blight poses a danger to tomato plantings. The variety may also suffer from pest attacks, especially in problem regions or depending on neighboring plants.
Harvesting and application
Harvesting begins in July and continues until late autumn. Extended fruiting suits many gardeners. The bushes are strewn with fresh vegetables for a long time.
Harvesting tomatoes from tall, tied plants is not difficult. They all grow the same size due to the uniform formation of inflorescences.
In regions where summers are short and cool, tomatoes are harvested unripe, as they are able to ripen on their own. Moreover, this will happen faster than in the garden beds.
At a temperature of +10°C, all vegetables can be harvested, even green ones. In the cold, tomatoes stop developing and may rot. And in the warmth, at home, they will ripen perfectly on their own.
Ripe vegetables are universal in use. Juices, lecho, ketchup, adjika, marinades, and pickles are made from them. Tomatoes retain their flavor well when whole-fruit canned. And of course, they are great for fresh consumption: in summer salads, in vegetable dishes, for example, stews, purees.
Thanks to its long-term storage and ability to withstand long-term transportation, the variety is ideal for commercial cultivation. Despite transportation to any point, vegetables retain their marketable appearance by 98%.
