How to grow high-yielding tomato. All about Russian domes: full description and advice from agronomists

Tomatoes: advantages and disadvantages

“Russian Domes” is a first generation hybrid, as evidenced by the designation “F1” on the packet of seeds.

The tomato was bred from two specially created parent varieties, thanks to which it took only the best varietal qualities:

• Compact bush size;
• Easy to care for;
• Excellent presentation of fruits;
• High yield;
• Preservation for a long time;
• Possibility of transportation over long distances;
• Expressive taste.

The main disadvantages of a hybrid:

• The need to purchase new seeds annually;
• Weak immunity.

Reviews from gardeners

Anastasia from Crimea. Last season, my son-in-law brought seeds of this hybrid from a trip. I planted the seedlings I had grown myself in a garden bed without shelter. The bushes turned out to be powerful and tall. I formed a tomato into 2 stems and tied it to a pre-installed trellis. When autumn approached, I pinched the top. Before the cold weather, I still managed to reap a good harvest. The tomatoes tasted and looked good. Almost all are the same size. The leftovers were taken to the local market. They sold out quickly even at a high price.

Elena from the Moscow region. The tomato was grown in a greenhouse. I left 1 stem per bush. She fed her with special mineral mixtures. At the end of June the first “dome” matured. The tomato tastes okay, but a bit dense. What surprised me was the number of fruits. By the end of August, I collected 3 buckets from 6 bushes. They ate it in salads, pickled it for the winter, and pressed it into juice.

Pink domes are an excellent option for both personal and farm use. An unpretentious and at the same time high-yielding tomato will more than pay for all growing costs.

Growing tomatoes

Tomato is grown through seedlings. The most favorable is considered to be subsequent planting in open ground. Like any “F1” hybrid, the seeds of “Russian Domes” sprout only in the first generation. From self-collected seeds with a very low percentage of germination, only low-yielding plants will grow. Therefore, before each sowing, the seed fund should be renewed.

How to prepare seeds?

Agro supplies seeds to the market untreated. The gardener must carry out the pre-sowing treatment independently :

• Pour the seeds with a weak solution of potassium permanganate (10 mg per 50 ml of water) for 30 minutes. The procedure disinfects the seeds from pathogenic bacteria and fungi, guaranteeing healthy young shoots;
• Soak the seed material in purified water at room temperature. Seeds saturated with water sprout immediately when they fall into the substrate. Soaking is carried out immediately before planting. Its duration must be at least 12 hours.

The germination rate of properly treated seeds reaches 100%, and the growing season is reduced to 3 days.

Sowing seed material

Sowing is carried out at the end of March. The exact date is determined by subtracting 1.5 months from the date of the last return frost. There are no special requirements for the container for seedlings; any container deeper than 5 cm will do, for example, a trimmed tetra pack, a shoe box, a wooden box.

The substrate can be purchased at the store or prepared yourself. From store-bought options, choose both universal and special soil “For tomatoes and peppers.” However, recently, due to increasing cases of discrepancies between the contents and the name of the package, vegetable growers prefer to prepare the soil mixture themselves. Its main ingredients :

• Turf land;
• Peat;
• Sand;
• Humus (at least 10% of the total soil mass);
• Dolomite flour (40 grams per bucket of substrate). Added to deoxidize the soil;
• Potassium fertilizer – 10 grams;
• Superphosphate – 30 grams;
• Urea – 10 grams.

Drainage (fine expanded clay or coal) is laid at the bottom of the planting container, then soil. The seeds are evenly distributed over the surface and sprinkled with a thin layer of peat (5mm). The following temperature regime for growing seedlings is recommended :

1. The first 2-4 days before sprouts appear +28-30*C;
2. The main growing period is + 22-24*C;
3. Hardening before planting for permanent residence +16-18*C.

Picking of seedlings is carried out after the formation of the second true leaf. Usually 400 ml plastic glasses are used for transplanting, but it is preferable to use peat pots.

Rules for planting seedlings

Seedlings are planted in the last ten days of May - early June, when the first cluster of plants begins to bloom. By this time the bushes are stretched to 30-35 cm, each of them has at least 6 true leaves.

Standard landing pattern:

• The interval between bushes is 40 cm;
• Row spacing – 60 cm;
• The maximum planting density is 6-8 bushes per 1 sq.m.

The plants are transplanted into planting holes 15 cm deep. 200 grams of humus and a small amount of wood ash are placed under each bush.

Growing Tips

Cultivation is carried out using the seedling method. Seeds are planted at the end of March. Before planting, preliminary disinfection treatment of seeds is carried out. The process consists of treating the planting material with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. After this, the seeds are washed with warm water. The seed planting depth should be 0.5 cm.

The recommended temperature for growing seedlings is considered to be from 18 to 25 C°. The first shoots should be expected after 5 days. When the first or second true leaf appears, picking is recommended. The seedlings are transplanted to a permanent location at the end of May or early June, if there is no risk of frost. In most cases, the first cluster of shoots ready for transplantation forms and begins to bloom.

When transplanting, you need to add humus to the hole and water the plant with plenty of water. Caring for the crop is standard and consists of periodic watering and the application of fertilizer complexes. It is recommended to water less frequently, but use a large volume of water.

The bushes require additional support in the form of tying up shoots. At the time of fruiting and ripening of fruits, individual clusters with a large number of vegetables may need a garter.

The fruit should not be allowed to come into contact with the ground, otherwise putrefactive defects may appear. It is worth monitoring the thickening of the bushes and, if necessary, carrying out pinching. It is not recommended to allow an excessive abundance of fruit-bearing branches, otherwise the plant will experience a lack of nutrients and the moment of fruit ripening will be delayed.

Reviews about the variety from those who planted

“Russian Domes” are praised for their beautiful fruit shape and good taste. When carrying out preventive measures, tomatoes almost never get sick and do not cause unnecessary trouble for the gardener.

Dome-type tomatoes have an unconventional appearance for a tomato: they have a dome-shaped shape rather than the usual round one. One of these types is the Ob domes.

This is an early ripening hybrid with a high fruiting rate and good disease resistance. But his main merit is his ability to adapt and survive in harsh Siberian conditions, without requiring special attention or careful care. The variety is rightfully considered the best discovery of Russian selective science.

Other varieties of dome varieties

“Russian Domes” are early tomatoes, distinguished by their large fruit size and fertile clusters. The height sometimes reaches 2.5 meters. From one bush you can collect from ten to fifteen kilograms.

“Honey Domes” – characterized by massive ripening. The bushes differ from their analogues in their compactness. The harvest is represented by small yellow fruits. From one bush you can get up to three kilograms.

"Ob Domes" - distinguished by large red fruits. Requires special care. You can collect up to five kilograms from a bush.

Ripe vegetables are subject to long-term storage and tolerate long-term transportation well without loss of appearance and taste.

Pest and disease control

One of the main disadvantages of the Russian Domes tomato is its low resistance to pathogenic microflora. Simple preventive measures will help you avoid the development of diseases:

• taking into account crop rotation rules;
• compliance with the disembarkation scheme;
• providing access to fresh air plantings;
• avoiding waterlogging and drying out of the substrate;
• regular inspection of plantings.

Also, as part of the prevention of fungal diseases, it is recommended to pre-treat Russian Domes tomato seeds in a solution of any fungicide or potassium permanganate (pale pink). They are also used to treat plants and soil after planting in open ground or in a greenhouse. The first spraying is carried out 12-15 days after transferring the seedlings to the garden bed, then they are repeated throughout the season with an interval of 2-3 weeks.

Any copper-containing preparations effectively destroy pathogenic microflora

Important! If there is less than a month left before the Russian Dome tomato harvest, only biofungicides or folk antifungal agents are used to treat the plantings in the open ground and in the greenhouse.

How to grow seedlings

Sowing of seeds is carried out 50-55 days before planting seedlings in the ground.

To accelerate germination, seeds are treated with a growth stimulant.

The soil mixture is prepared in advance from garden soil, washed river sand, ash and peat. Then the prepared mixture is laid out in containers.

You can plant both in a common wooden box and in individual containers : peat or seedling pots, plastic cups.

The seed is placed in grooves 1 cm deep . Level the soil on top, moisten it with a spray bottle and cover the containers with glass or film.

Before emergence, the optimal temperature is considered to be +23-25 ​​degrees . Until germination, the seeds are kept in a dark room.

After the first shoots appear, the covering material is removed and the containers are moved to a lighted place, on the windowsill . If there is not enough light, fluorescent lamps are used as additional lighting.

Young bushes respond well to feeding . As soon as the first shoots appear, complex fertilizers are applied to the soil. As the surface layer of soil dries, the seedlings are watered with warm water.

When 2 true leaves appear, pick . If the seeds are sown in a common box, then the sprouts are planted in separate containers. Picking helps select stronger plants and promotes the development of the root system.

2 weeks before transplanting into open ground, the seedlings are hardened . The hardening procedure involves staying outside for several hours during the daytime. At the same time, the temperature is reduced to 13 degrees in the room where the seedlings are brought in overnight. The time spent outside gradually increases to 24 hours.

How to grow?

Professional farmers advise sowing seeds for seedlings in early March, two months before planting the sprouts in open ground. You can prepare the soil yourself in the fall, or you can purchase it at a specialized store. Do not forget that this vegetable gets along better in nutritious soil. If the soil for seedlings is harvested in the fall from your own plot, before planting the seeds for seedlings, it is necessary to mix the soil with annual humus and coarse river sand in equal proportions.

Containers for seedlings should be spacious. It is best to choose separate containers for each seedling, since it will be much more convenient to transplant the sprouts from them. The prepared soil is placed in them, after which the surface is watered with running water, and holes about 2 cm deep are made with a stick.

Seed preparation can be done in two ways.

• 1 method. The seeds must be placed in a 5% saline solution for 5-7 minutes in advance. Good seeds will sink to the bottom, while bad seeds will float to the surface. Selected good seeds will need to be washed in running water and allowed to dry. Then they need to be placed in containers in prepared holes and sprinkled with soil.
• Method 2. Soak the seeds in a 2% manganese solution for 20-30 minutes. Then rinse with water at room temperature and let it sit overnight in a specialized growth stimulator. The next morning, the seeds need to be pulled out and dried, and then sowed.

Future seedlings should be placed under film or glass in a warm and dimly lit place to prevent the soil from drying out. As soon as the first sunrises of the Golden Dome tomatoes appear, move the containers to a light source, having first removed the film or glass. As soon as the first leaves appear, the seedlings will need to be taken outside for 10 minutes to allow the sprouts to get used to outdoor conditions and harden.

Don't forget about caring for seedlings. You need to ensure that the soil in the containers remains moist. To do this, it is necessary to water the soil in time, as well as loosen it to give the developing root system access to oxygen.

Picking - planting sprouts in open ground is possible when at least 2 true leaves appear on the plant. To do this, you should take care of the beds on the site in advance. The rows should be about 20 cm apart from each other, and the bushes in one row should be 10-15 cm apart.

You can fertilize the bed with humus, compost or peat. The location must be selected carefully, because the quality of the future harvest will depend on it. An area well lit by sunlight, where there are no drafts or cold winds, is best suited.

How to grow tomatoes

After 50–55 days, the seedlings are transplanted into open beds . If possible, the tomato bed is located in a sunny place, protected from the wind.

Reference! The best predecessors for tomatoes are carrots, greens, cabbage, and legumes. After them, the earth is filled with nutrients necessary for the growth and development of tomatoes.

Planting pattern: 50 cm – distance between plants; 40 cm – row spacing .

For 1 sq. m place up to 6 bushes , since the plants are compact and low-growing.

A week after transplantation, the tomatoes are watered and fed with organic or mineral fertilizers . An infusion of mullein is suitable as an organic substance; it is used in a dilution of 1:15 so as not to burn the root system.

What does a hybrid look like?

Breeders from Transnistria worked on the appearance of the variety. As a result, the world was introduced to a hardy plant with very tasty and beautiful heart-shaped fruits. Based on the latter, the tomato received the name Pink Domes.

The hybrid looks like this:

1. A bush that grows without stopping (indeterminate). In suitable conditions, the tomato grows over 2 m in height.
2. The tomato forms the first brush at the level of 8-9 nodes. The next ones go through 3 sheets.
3. The flowers of the variety are of a simple type.
4. Heart-shaped fruits. When ripe, the tomato is evenly colored pink, without any traces of light areas.
5. Fruit weight is up to 250 g. With normalization of the ovary and enhanced agricultural technology, specimens weighing half a kilo are obtained.

The nuances of growing in open ground and in a greenhouse

In the greenhouse, the crop is planted with 3-4 seedlings per 1 square meter. m . This is due to the fact that the height of the plant in the greenhouse is higher than its street counterparts and reaches 70 cm.

The weight of greenhouse vegetables can reach 300 g . Productivity up to 6 kg per bush.

In protected soil, the plant is grown in 3 or 4 stems , while in unprotected soil it is formed in 5 stems.

In open ground, the crop is less susceptible to infectious outbreaks ; according to numerous reviews, Obskie Dome tomatoes are usually healthy throughout the season. In a greenhouse, due to high temperatures and high humidity, plants are often attacked by mold. Regular ventilation will get rid of it.

Reference! If you plant nasturtium, dill, and marigolds next to tomatoes, the release of phytoncides will help inhibit the growth of fungi.

III. Semi-determinate varieties (tall in the greenhouse, medium in the ground)

Bushes that do not stretch uncontrollably upward, but are capable of timely self-restraint, are very convenient to grow. At the same time, its respectable height determines excellent productivity indicators. Its versatility is also attractive: it can be planted anywhere. True, in open ground you will need supports, but not very high ones.

Semi-determinate varieties, as a rule, are not too late, usually mid-early or mid-ripening. But you still need to step them up. In the open air, some varieties may require topping towards the end of the season (on average - early August). The standard height is from one to 1.5 (and a little higher) meters (this is observed in a greenhouse).

Characteristics of tomato Russian Domes

In the characteristics and description of the hybrid, one immediately notices the seemingly obvious “discrepancy” between the compactness and short stature of the bushes and the declared yield. However, reviews from gardeners who have had time to get acquainted with the hybrid confirm the information of the originator.

Ripening period and yield

Russian domes are a medium-early ripening tomato. From the moment the seed sprouts until harvest, 95-105 days pass. The specific period varies depending on the climate in the growing region and weather conditions in each season.

In the description of the originator, the yield immediately attracts attention. According to the agricultural company, it is 13-15 kg/m² in open ground and up to 17 kg/m² in greenhouses. This became possible thanks to the carpal type of fruiting and frequent “laying” of bunches. The first one is formed already above the 6-7th sheet, the next ones - at an “interval” of three sheets.

Each cluster of Russian Dome tomatoes contains 4-6 fruits

Resistance to diseases and pests

The immunity of Russian Dome tomatoes is not too high. Plants are prone to infection by any of the pathogens typical for the crop if weather conditions favor the activation of the pathogen.

Pests to the hybrid Russian Domes, according to the description of the originator and reviews from gardeners, do not show much interest. Although the experience of growing these tomatoes is not yet rich enough to say for sure.

How to use

The purpose of tomatoes is universal. They are suitable for fresh consumption and for preparing any first and second courses. For whole-fruit canning, this is not the best option due to the rather large size of the fruit, although Russian Dome tomatoes look presentable even after heat treatment - the skin rarely cracks, the richness of the color and the density of the pulp are preserved. These tomatoes are quite suitable for homemade sauces, ketchups, adjika, lecho.

Tomato variety Golden Domes

Tomato varieties bred in Siberia have amazing qualities that make it possible to grow a far from cold-resistant crop in a cold region. Among yellow-fruited tomatoes, Golden Domes are held in special esteem. The variety has long been known and loved by gardeners. It was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of Russia in 2005, although it was grown long before this event. The authors of the well-recognized tomato were V.N. Dederko, S.V. Ugarova and T.N. Postnikova. Due to its high adaptive qualities, the State Register recommends growing the variety in open ground, and any region of the country is suitable for cultivation.

Features of agricultural technology

When growing a hybrid, you should pay close attention to the soil. The tomato is susceptible to most infections, so before planting seedlings, you need to make sure that nightshades were not grown in this area in the previous season. Afterwards, the gardener will have to undergo a series of preventative treatments of the soil and the already mature bush. Pests are repelled with natural concentrates, for example, mustard or soap.

In addition to the soil, the planting scheme will also require attention. Outdoor beds are arranged in a standard manner, with an average interval of 50 cm between bushes. In a greenhouse, it is necessary to plant tomatoes along the walls. Watering is carried out infrequently, but abundantly.

Seeds are purchased from the originator. The seedlings are kept for a long time at home. The seedlings are moved into the ground by the beginning of summer. Some of them already have a flowering raceme by this time. Fruiting plants should be carefully tied up, preventing the clusters from being placed on the ground. Tomatoes lying in the ground are most likely to rot.

Russian domes will become a bright and high-yielding asset to any garden.

Bush care

The planted seedlings will then require the following care measures:

• Carry out regular moderate watering under the bush. Water with warm water in the morning;
• Carry out 3-4 feedings per season. It is advisable to alternate the application of organic fertilizers and mineral complexes;
• The bushes must be provided with reliable support, to which the stems are tied. During the period of fruiting and ripening of fruits, individual clusters with a large number of fruits will require additional garter;
• The best yield can be achieved if the bush is formed into two stems;
• You should avoid contact of tomato fruits with the soil, otherwise putrefactive defects may appear;
• Avoid thickening the bushes and, if necessary, carry out pinching.
