Healthy and tasty tomato fruits are often present in the Russian diet. The tomato variety Carpal F1 has become one of the sought-after plants in gardeners’ beds. The success of the hybrid is due to the positive characteristics of the hybrid. Among the advantages of all hand types are:
- Possibility of long-term storage;
- Low probability of diseases of the nightshade family;
- Attractive appearance.
Positive reviews from vegetable growers confirm that the hybrid tomato variety Kisteva has all the advantages of the species.
Planting in the ground and caring for tomatoes
Ready seedlings, which will have at least 5-7 true leaves, are planted in a prepared greenhouse or in beds.
For the Carpal hybrid, a placement pattern of 0.4 m in a row and 0.7 m in row spacing is suitable. This area is enough for the normal life of plants.
Form a tomato into 1-2 stems. To do this, either all the stepsons are removed, or the lowest one is left. A second stem is formed from it. The first inflorescence appears on the bush after 9-11 leaves, the next ones after it - after 3 leaves. 6-7 fruits of equal size are tied to 1 cluster.
The Carpal hybrid is tall, so it cannot do without a garter to supports, a trellis or a net. They are installed when planting seedlings.
The brushes need to be tied up if there is a possibility that they will not support the weight of the fruit. But usually this is not required.
Like all tomatoes, Kistevoy needs abundant watering and timely feeding. Only with careful care will you be able to get a good harvest.
For watering in a greenhouse, you can use a drip irrigation system; this is convenient in terms of saving water, time and labor for the gardener. Using the system, you can also fertilize along with watering - just dilute a certain amount of fertilizer in water.
To preserve soil moisture, you need to use mulch from plant material or agrofibre. If there is no shelter, the soil is loosened every time after watering.
Feeding is carried out at least three times per season. The first - when the tomatoes begin to throw out flowers, the second - during mass flowering, the third and, if necessary, the fourth - at intervals of 2 weeks.
Both mineral mixtures and organic matter are used. How much fertilizer to take and in what volume to dilute is indicated in the instructions for each drug.
When using organic matter, slurry diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 10 is poured under each bush, 1 liter. Then water the tomatoes with clean water.
During 2-4 feedings, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be replaced with ordinary ash from burnt plant debris - scatter it under the bushes at the rate of 0.5 kg per 1 sq. m. m or water the plants with ash solution (1 tbsp per bucket).
Hybrid Carpal tomatoes begin to sing 3 months after germination. The fruits turn red together, usually they are all evenly colored, so when removing the berries, they pick off the entire cluster of fruit at once.

Watering and fertilizing
20 days after planting, it will be necessary to apply the first fertilizer. It is necessary to choose complex compositions. Today there is a fairly wide range of high-quality fertilizers for growing tomatoes on sale.
When preparing the soil in a greenhouse, it is important not to overdo it with fertilizers, especially nitrogen-containing ones. This can affect the rapid growth of greenery, to the detriment of the appearance of fruits.
Watering tomatoes should be timely and moderate. Under no circumstances should the soil be allowed to dry out. Feeding should be done at least 4 times a season. It is worth giving preference to fertilizing containing potassium. This is very important, because cluster tomatoes need properly selected fertilizer.
In addition to frequent watering, the soil must be well loosened. This should be done as often as possible. The soil must always be loose. This ensures the necessary humidity. In addition, the soil can be sprinkled with sawdust, this will prevent the soil from drying out. The greenhouse must be ventilated after watering. This will prevent the appearance of fungus that destroys the plant.
Characteristics and description of Japanese tomatoes
Growing Japanese tomatoes is a very interesting and entertaining activity. Today, every owner of a plot of land can choose a variety that is suitable for certain characteristics. Some of the foreign hybrids have low growth rates and can be grown in a room or on a balcony. Others are intended only for street landing.
For a novice gardener, a large assortment of “Japanese” products can frighten, confuse and mislead. Tomato varieties recommended by sellers do not always meet the requirements that consumers expect from them. Therefore, experts recommend that you first familiarize yourself and thoroughly study the “new product” on the domestic market before making your choice.
Japanese Crab
The popularity of the Japanese Crab tomato is caused by the taste of its fruit. This tomato is very sweet, its flesh is dense and has almost no seeds. This description of the vegetable makes it ideal for preparing cold appetizers. In addition, the connection between the name of the variety and the vegetable itself is also interesting. The fact is that the shape of a tomato resembles a crab, since the fruit of this hybrid is slightly flattened and has noticeable protrusions on top.
Domestic gardeners who grow this Japanese tomato variety highlight the following features:
- This tomato bush is tall. The height of the stem, with proper care, can reach 160-170 cm.
- This "Japanese" has large thick green leaves. But the impressive landscaping doesn't overshadow the clusters of pink tomatoes.
- Productivity is high and long lasting. When grown in a greenhouse, you can have a good supply for the winter, because this variety actively produces crops until mid-autumn.
- Resistant immunity to diseases and pests. With proper care, the risk of rot, tobacco mosaic and other diseases is minimal.
A person who decides to plant this hybrid on his plot of land must go through the standard period of growing seedlings from seeds and planting them. You should not start sowing in open ground right away, because the chances of seedlings appearing are minimal.
Japanese Truffle
The fruits of this variety can change their color
Characteristics of the Japanese Truffle tomato is its advantage. The fact is that the fruits of this plant, in addition to their amazing taste, can change their color depending on the duration of ripening.

Its peculiarity is associated with the size of the shoots, which spread 60-70 cm wide. The height of such a bush is small and rarely exceeds 25 cm in height.
Numerous reviews about this hybrid are related to its appearance during the flowering period. The fact is that its flowers are bright yellow. Flowers, like golden decorations, decorate a spreading green bush
In addition, the fruit ovaries that form later also attract attention. Small bunches of red tomatoes, weighing no more than 100 grams, resemble in their appearance the world-famous Cherry tomatoes.
In addition, these mini tomatoes are great for canning.
Senkara
No less popular in Russia and neighboring countries are the varieties “Senkara” or “Japanese Rose”. These hybrids have average height. They require molding into 1-2 stems when grown in open ground or in a greenhouse. The fruit cluster of the Senkara variety has impressive size and weight. A “bunch” of large pink tomatoes, weighing 250-280 grams, will ripen by mid-June. The indicators of the Japanese rose are more modest.

Hybrid form (f) Vano of early ripening. From the appearance of seedlings to the start of harvesting, 100 to 105 days pass. To obtain a marketable harvest, this hybrid is planted in greenhouses. Bushes of the determinate type, with a height of 90–110 to 130 cm, require the formation and removal of the lower leaves, a cord is wrapped around the plant and tied to the crossbar. For dense plantings in greenhouses and greenhouses, the leaves are shortened by half. The hybrid is resistant to Alternaria and tobacco mosaic virus.
- The inflorescences are simple, collected in clusters, on which 5–6 very weighty tomatoes are formed.

Growing bet
- daylight hours 16 hours or longer;
- air temperature 21C and above;
- watering is regular.
When the seedlings have Vodan-two leaves, they are picked, that is, the mixture is distributed into separate pots (one container per plant). They let them dive into peat pots: then they plant bushes in them in one breath into the ground.
Hardening is a mandatory procedure before planting a tomato in the alluvium. In the early morning and evening for about 1 week, open air is provided to the seedlings for 10–15 minutes.
When planting in grounding, plant no more than three plants per 1 m2. Hybrid uncle get a sparrow and needs enough space. In addition, it is necessary to install supports and tie them to long stakes and trellises. Overall, this gives the garden an aesthetic appearance.
It is necessary to cross out the side shoots and lower leaves of the plant, which promotes the development of the main stem. This also increases resistance to fungal infections, as it improves the ventilation of the shoot near the soil. We begin to remove inflorescences (future clusters) if there are 7-8 of them on one plant, and then they will produce ripe fruit.
The application of complex mineral fertilizers should be carried out at least four times per season. The hybrid is watered only in the evening, after sunset. Just add heated water to the roots. To evenly distribute moisture in the soil, it is mulched. It would be more accurate to do this with black non-woven material, you can use straw. Plants need loosening the soil, weeding and hilling.

The fruits are smooth, round in shape, bright red when fully ripe. They can be preserved whole or ready-made dishes can be decorated with these small tomatoes. The advantages of the variety include early ripening, long-term fruiting and high decorative appearance of the fruit. Seedlings are planted at the second leaf stage, and four specimens per square meter are placed in a permanent place.
Planting in the ground and caring for tomatoes
When the seedlings grow up and a stable warm temperature is established outside, Vernost tomatoes are planted in open ground.
It is first recommended to harden off young plants that grew on a windowsill or in a greenhouse. To do this, boxes with seedlings are taken outside during the week before planting.
The first day they are left in the fresh air for 20-30 minutes, and in subsequent days the hardening time is gradually increased. This procedure must be carried out to increase the resistance of plants to low temperatures, which often occur in spring.
Although the Vernost variety is not picky about soil quality, it is still recommended to plant tomatoes in slightly acidic or neutral soil fertilized with humus. This will allow you to grow strong, healthy bushes and get a good harvest.
The distance between rows should be 70 cm, between bushes - 40. Seedlings are planted in a checkerboard pattern, two seedlings in one hole and immediately filled with plenty of water.
When planting more than 400-500 bushes, it is advisable to make trenches along the entire length of the row rather than holes around each plant. This will save time when watering tomatoes with a hose in the future.
In dense plantings with a large number of weeds, various diseases and pests often develop. Therefore, every 2-3 weeks it is necessary to clear the beds of weeds, preventing them from growing.
When the height of the bushes reaches 50-60 cm, they need to be tied to supports.
Feeding
A week after planting the hybrid variety Vernost in the ground, the bushes begin to be fed. For this purpose, nitrogen fertilizers are used, which promote the growth of stems and green mass. An excess of nitrogen can cause underdevelopment of flower clusters, so preparations containing this substance must be applied strictly according to the instructions on the package.
In addition to nitrogen, young plants need potassium and phosphorus supplements. Sulfur, calcium, and manganese are also useful for tomatoes. Mineral fertilizers improve plant growth and the taste characteristics of fruits, increase their resistance to diseases and pests, and prevent the occurrence of fungal and viral diseases.
The following fertilizers are used for Vernost tomatoes:
- Chicken droppings.
- Mullein.
- Urea.
- Ammonium nitrate.
- Ammophos.
- Ash.
- Superphosphate.
- Colloidal sulfur.
- Calimagnesia and others.
For convenience, you can use complex fertilizers - Kemira Plus, Mortar, Universal, Nitroammofoska. The plants are fed until the fruits begin to ripen.
It is also recommended to add a solution with a nutrient mixture to the hole when planting seedlings.

About the variety “Kistevoy F1”
Hybrid “Carpal F1” has all the advantages of carpal varieties:
- little susceptible to typical tomato diseases;
- can be stored for a long time without loss of properties;
- attracts buyers with its appearance.
The variety was bred by domestic vegetable growers and is suitable for cultivation in regions throughout the country.
Climate conditions in a particular area dictate the requirements for tomato cultivation. Cultivation in protected soil predominates (in a greenhouse, greenhouse, under film or in other insulated soil). The variety Carpal F1 has simple clusters, each with up to 20 fruits. The foliage is average. The plant is tall - up to 1 m 80 cm. It belongs to the indeterminate (with unlimited growth of shoots) species.
It tolerates a lack of light and heat normally, without reducing productivity. Forms a large percentage of ovaries and bears fruit over a long period. Produces up to 40 kg of fruit per bush. It should take about three months from planting to removal from the root.
During storage and transportation it does not lose its taste properties. The keeping quality of fruits can be greatly increased if you store them without picking them off the clusters.
Agrotechnics of cultivation
It is recommended to grow tomatoes in seedlings. Pre-treated seeds with an aqueous solution of aloe are placed in containers with soil to a depth of 1 cm. The sowing is watered with warm water (snow or rain), and the container is covered with film until sprouts appear.
For better growth of seedlings, it is necessary to periodically add compost extract. The formation of healthy and strong plants is ensured by extending daylight hours using fluorescent lamps.
In the phase of formation of 2 true leaves, diving is carried out in separate peat containers. In such pots, plants can be transplanted directly into the ground. Their use allows you to preserve the root system from damage.
The seedlings are transferred to a permanent place in May. Before this, the seedlings are hardened: the seedlings are transferred to new conditions for adaptation for several hours. Seed material is placed in the holes in a checkerboard pattern.
Each hole is additionally fertilized with compost and watered with warm water. It is recommended to mulch the planting beds with last year's mown grass. From above, all this can be covered with fiber to ensure drip irrigation of the crop.
During the growing season, you need to ensure timely watering and fertilizing.
Purple candle
Early ripening, productive tomatoes are recommended to be grown indoors. The bush is low, the foliage is average. There are from 8 to 12 fruits on the brush. Form a plant into two stems.
The fruits are long with a “spout”, cylindrical in shape. In the mature stage, crimson in color, not prone to cracking. Pale pink tomatoes can be picked from the bush; they ripen well.
Up to 4 plants can be planted per 1 m2. If you follow the rules of agricultural technology, you can get 8.5–10 kg of fruit from 1 square meter.
Tomato Yenisei - description and characteristics of the variety
The Yenisei tomato is a tall plant with large fruits. This is a semi-determinate variety, meaning the plant stops growing when 10 to 12 flower clusters are formed, their placement observed every two or three missing leaves.
How to grow
The Yenisei tomato must be grown using seedlings. To begin with, the seeds need to be placed in an aloe solution for a short time, and then sown in the soil to a depth of one centimeter. When sowing is complete, it is necessary to water the seeds every day with warm water from melted snow or rain (optional, but desirable) and after watering, cover the area with film until the first sprout appears. In order for growth to proceed steadily, you need to sometimes add compost extract.
The Yenisei tomato loves light, so using fluorescent lamps you can speed up plant growth. When two leaves of the seed appear, they need to be planted in different peat vessels. All these actions will help protect the roots of the tomato from various injuries. Planting seedlings can begin in the first ten days of the last month of spring, the order of their placement is like in chess.
According to the research and practice of gardeners, the best fruitfulness of the Elisha tomato is established when the bush matures into one or two stems.
How to care
For good growth and harvest, the following care conditions must be met:
Mandatory loosening of the soil. This must be done carefully so as not to injure the roots.
Loosening the soil allows them to breathe oxygen, and this has a good effect on the growth of tomatoes. Hoeing removes weeds, and removing noxious weeds is another important maintenance activity as they interfere with plant growth. Water daily with warm water. Feeding tomatoes with complex mineral fertilizers will help growth and improve the quality of the plant. If you follow these simple rules, then the best and most delicious tomatoes will be on the table. So, from one bush you can collect from five to six kilograms, and from two, in general, from ten to twelve.
Plant characteristics
The fruits of the Yenisei tomato are quite smooth and round, ripen up to 500 grams, the color is bright red, distributed evenly throughout the fruit, the skin is strong and does not crack. And the most important thing is the taste, it is very delicate and soft, slightly sweet and slightly sour, which is good, because the flavors are harmoniously combined. You can eat it straight from the garden, but it’s better to wash it first. In general, the fruits are good to eat both fresh and canned.
Features of indeterminate or tall plants
Tall tomatoes require certain care and knowledge:
- Most often, such varieties are chosen for greenhouse conditions, because in open ground it is much more difficult to care for bush plants over a meter in height.
- For such tomatoes, tying to a support, pinching (not in all varieties) and forming into one or two stems is required to obtain the greatest yield. Read about cucumber varieties for greenhouses in this article.
