Tomato Hybrid Tarasenko 1-7: description and characteristics of varieties, yield and cultivation

Transplanting seedlings into the ground

When planting strong seedlings of Legend Tarasenko in the ground, you should know that the root system of these tomatoes is very powerful.
It penetrates deep into the soil substrate, becoming firmly established there. Therefore, transplanting young seedlings requires careful conditions and constant care of the plant. The plant is transplanted from a container into open ground in late May - early June. It is at this moment that the soil warms up to the required 15 C, and there is no longer any danger of return frosts. In addition, the Legend Tarasenko tomato bushes are already fully formed and have one ovary cluster.

Landing Features:

The soil for growing in open areas should be prepared 1-1.5 months in advance or even in early autumn. Legend tomatoes are usually rooted by digging holes. Each depression in the soil should not be less than 50 cm wide and 40 cm deep.
Humus and wood ash are added to the bottom of the pit. Next, mineral fertilizers – nitroammophoska – are added. All this is mixed with soil dug in advance. In this form, the recesses are left to wait until the planting work begins.
Seedlings should be planted when they are about 2 months old. In order for the bushes to develop well and grow actively without interfering with each other, leave about 1 meter between neighboring bushes. And the rows are separated from each other by 1.5 meters.
2-3 seedlings are placed in each hole. This is necessary for the plants to hold on to each other. After planting, young shoots are irrigated with a solution of diluted manganese at a dosage of 3 grams. the drug per bucket of water (10 l).

Cold-resistant tomato varieties

Chrysanthemum Hybrid 5.1

Our summer, of course, is not southern, so not all varieties of tomatoes have time to ripen and produce a full harvest. We have chosen those that are most adapted to our climate.

Tomato Rocket

Tomato Rocket is a late-ripening variety. Harvesting can begin 4.5 months after planting. The bushes are compact and grow up to 50 cm in height. The variety is undemanding to soil, but is sensitive to moisture levels. The bushes do not require shaping, tying or pinching. The pulp of the fruit is dense and juicy. They are well transported and stored.

Tomato Golden Fleece

Resistance to low temperatures makes it possible to grow tomatoes of the Golden Fleece variety not only in the middle zone, but also in the Urals and Siberia. The variety is determinate; bushes in open ground reach 40-60 cm in height. Fruiting begins 80 days after germination. The fruits are bright, yellow-orange in color, elongated, weigh about 100 g. They taste sweet and sour. Productivity is about 1.5 kg per bush. Tomatoes do not burst when canned and tolerate transportation well.

Tomato Lyubasha F1

The Lyubasha F1 hybrid was registered with the State Varietal Commission quite recently, in 2022, but has already earned a lot of kind words from summer residents. First of all, gardeners note early ripening. I also like the duration of fruiting - up to four months. The Lyubasha tomato is productive, the fruits store well. Some summer residents note the unusual taste of fresh fruits (with hints of lemon), but in canned form this feature is invisible.

What varieties would you add to our selection?

Planting tomato seedlings Yubileiny Tarasenko in open ground

It is known that the root system of tomatoes, especially tall ones, penetrates deeply into the soil, sometimes up to 1.5 and even up to 2 m, therefore, starting from sowing the seeds, take care to create optimal conditions for the plant to develop a strong root system.

Before planting two-month-old seedlings, dig holes 50X50 cm and up to 40 cm deep, the distance between the holes in the center is up to 1 m.

Fold the top layer of soil in one direction, the bottom layer in the other, fill each hole with fertilizers and mix them thoroughly with the top layer of soil (two buckets of humus, 3-4 cups of wood ash and 50 g of complex mineral fertilizer). It is advisable to prepare such pits in the fall.

Plant the seedlings without damaging the roots in the peat pots in which they were grown before planting.

Plant two plants in the hole and then form a bush in a two-stem form.

I water the planted plants abundantly with heated water, having previously dissolved potassium permanganate in it (3 g per 10 liters of water).

Features of cultivation

Since Legend Tarasenko tomatoes (multiflora), according to their characteristics and description, belong to mid-early varieties, they are grown in open ground mainly in the southern regions of Russia.

The use of greenhouses extends the fruiting period until late autumn.

Resistance to diseases and pests

Return tomatoes to their original place or after other nightshades no earlier than after 3-4 years.
When using greenhouses, carry out autumn antifungal treatment of the structures themselves, equipment, and soil.
Keep plants free from weeds and provide them with good lighting.
Before sowing seeds, carry out preventive treatment with a disinfectant solution.
If there is a risk of disease, carry out preventive spraying with copper-containing preparations, phytosporin or folk remedies - infusions of garlic, hot pepper.

The most dangerous pests of tomatoes are spider mites, whiteflies, and Colorado potato beetles. In small areas, chemical control agents are usually not used, but are collected by hand or sprayed with one of the infusions - tobacco, onion peel, birch tar.

Growing seedlings

To get a full harvest of tomatoes, sowing begins 55-60 days before transplanting the plants into greenhouses or open ground.

Before sowing, seeds are treated in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate for 15-20 minutes, after which they are immersed in a solution of microelements or growth stimulants.

Garlic juice can be used as a natural disinfectant, and honey and aloe juice can be used as growth stimulants.

As soon as the first loops appear - in this form the plants emerge from the ground - the container is placed in the light. If the weather is cloudy, artificial lighting is used.

Watering seedlings during this period must be done very carefully, since young plants are very susceptible to fungal diseases. After the plants have several true leaves, they begin to pick

Tomatoes are planted either in larger containers with a distance of 15-20 cm between them, or in separate pots. In any case, plants should not shade each other

After the plants have several true leaves, they begin picking. Tomatoes are planted either in larger containers with a distance of 15-20 cm between them, or in separate pots. In any case, plants should not shade each other.

If the plants are weakened for some reason, they are fed with fertilizer for seedlings (1-2 times during the entire growing period).

With steady warming, seedlings are taken out into the open air, into greenhouses, and onto open balconies.

Transplantation into the ground

The place for planting tomatoes is chosen taking into account the best predecessors. They are greens, pumpkin crops, and onions.

Since the Legend Tarasenko variety is very demanding on the composition of the soil, the preparation of beds in the open ground or in a greenhouse is carried out in advance: they dig deep holes - up to 40 cm, put rotted manure or compost, ash, and mineral fertilizers in them.

Plants are planted at a distance of about 1 m, and between rows - up to 1.5 m; only such planting will ensure sufficient lighting of the bushes.

Powerful tomato bushes require infrequent (once every 7-10 days), but abundant watering. In this case, it is advisable to supply water directly to the root. Good results are achieved by using drip irrigation systems. Mulching the soil helps retain moisture and prevent weeds. If you use grass, hay, or any weeded weeds as mulch, when they rot, they will provide the plants with additional nutrition. A garter to a support is necessary, since even strong bushes cannot always cope with the weight of the fruit.

In this case, it is important to tie up not only the main trunks, but also individual brushes. The plant is usually formed into 2-3 stems. The lower leaves and stepsons are removed

When pinching, small shoots (1-2cm) are left so that new ones do not grow in their place. When growing tomatoes in a greenhouse, it is necessary to ensure ventilation using doors and vents, since high air humidity can cause fungal diseases. Fertilizing during the growth of tomatoes is carried out both with nitrogen-containing liquid - a diluted infusion of herbs or mullein, and with mineral fertilizers (phosphorus and potassium) - after flowering. Typically, fertilizing is carried out once every two weeks on damp soil. With the onset of autumn cooling, the harvest on the bushes is normalized - flowers and weak ovaries are removed, fruits are harvested at technical ripeness.

Diseases and pests

According to reviews from vegetable growers, Legend Tarasenko tomatoes are not very susceptible to diseases with proper care. Prevention measures include: autumn plowing of the soil, compliance with crop rotation (the best predecessors are cucumbers, onions, perennial herbs), dressing the soil and seeds, following the rules of watering, loosening the soil and removing weeds. With timely detection, the harmful consequences of traditional “tomato” diseases can be avoided:

fusarium (a fungal disease that manifests itself in the withering of plants in hot weather after cold rainy days) is “treated” with copper sulfate or special fungicides;
late blight (a disease spread by fungi and affects leaves, stems and fruits) will help destroy an aqueous solution with milk and iodine, kefir, garlic infusion or special chemicals;
against gray rot (appears at the end of the season with the onset of cool weather), the drugs Barrier and Zaslon will help.

Home remedies (tincture of dandelion, horseradish, yarrow) or chemicals (copper sulfate solution, Confidor, Karbofos) will help against whiteflies and spider mites.

Landing Features

The technology for growing tomatoes of the Tarasenko variety is somewhat different from the methods for cultivating most other varieties of tomatoes. Summer residents usually prepare pits for these varieties in the fall. At the same time, they dig them out with dimensions of 50x50 cm and a depth of 40 cm.

The pits are placed on the site in a checkerboard pattern. The distance between them in the row is left at 1 m. The row spacing is made 1.5 m wide.

Seedlings of these tomatoes are grown in the usual way. Seeds are sown in deep boxes at the end of March. During the growing process, seedlings are watered in time and the soil under them is loosened. It is permissible not to pick Tarasenko tomatoes.

Seedlings of this variety are planted in prepared holes at an age of at least 60 days. Before planting, humus, a little wood ash and mineral fertilizers are added to the holes. Two plants are planted in each such hole. The first watering of seedlings transferred to a permanent place is carried out with warm water with potassium permanganate dissolved in it (3 g per 10 liters).

Feeding and watering

Tarasenko himself recommended fertilizing these varieties three times per season. For the first time, organic matter or complex mineral compositions are applied to the plants two weeks after planting. The second time, Tarasenko varieties are usually fertilized during the period when the first fruits appear. Approximately 20 days after this, a third feeding is carried out.

Tarasenko's tomatoes are supposed to be watered once every two weeks. In arid regions, this procedure can be carried out more often. In any case, 7-10 liters of water should be poured under each plant when watering. The next day after moistening, the soil under Tarasenko tomatoes should be loosened. At the same time, weeds must also be removed from under the bushes.

Tomato series “Hybrid Tarasenko”: description of varieties

The Tarasenko hybrid tomato series reviews, photos, yields all indicate that the varieties are loved by vegetable growers. They are grown, their qualities and characteristics are passed on from mouth to mouth, but they are not included in the register of breeding achievements.

Official information

The authorship of the Tarasenko hybrid series belongs to the amateur breeder F.M. Tarasenko. In the 80s of the 20th century, a physics teacher worked on developing his varieties in the village. Voronezh, Sumy region, Ukraine.

Over the course of 30 years, the breeder managed to give the world a whole series of varieties, although their name begins with the word hybrid. The second word in the title is the author's last name, and then only numbers. Those who once sowed and grew the Tarasenka variety always find a place in the garden for further cultivation.

"Hybrid Tarasenko 2"

The variety is the most popular from the Tarasenko series. Many generations of vegetable growers are familiar with this tomato. The plant is early, indeterminate, tall, some describe it as liana-like. The height in a greenhouse can easily exceed 2 m. Experts differ on issues of formation. If the soil is very nutritious, it is recommended to plant it in two or even three shoots. In this case, the variety will feed and pull out the entire huge harvest, but careful garters are required. If the soils are fresh and fertilizing is not carried out at all, then only in one shoot.

Reading the description of the yield of the tomato “Hybrid Tarasenko 2”, sometimes those who have not yet grown it doubt the veracity of the information, but after trying the variety in their beds, they are convinced that its complex tomato cluster can carry up to 30 tomatoes. Some vegetable growers provide information that the weight of one brush can be within 2 kilograms.

A variety for universal use. Its fruits are not large, ranging from 65-70 g. They are perfect for salads and whole-fruit canning.

Tomatoes are round, with a characteristic spout that makes them recognizable. The skin is smooth, without ribbing. When cut, 3-4 seed chambers are visible, but filled with pulp.

The taste of tomatoes is very high. The tomato flavor reminds many of those tomatoes of old, when they were rich, with a characteristic tomato aftertaste and aroma.

Tomatoes behave perfectly in a sealing jar. The thin but durable skin protects the pulp well from heat treatments; they do not burst in jars and never crack on the bushes.

Disease resistance

There is not a single review that “Hybrid Tarasenko 2” was exposed to any diseases in a greenhouse or open ground. The unique, genetically determined resistance of immunity provides the variety with high yield and excellent commercial yield.

Advantages

The list of advantages of the variety is undeniable:

excellent taste;
versatility;
high productivity;
interesting head start;
keeping quality;
disease resistance

"Hybrid Tarasenko 3"

Medium ripening tomato. The height of the shoots easily reaches 150 cm. The plant is indeterminate. It is advisable to carry out the formation in 1-2 shoots. Tomato "Hybrid Tarasenko 3" requires constant tying up of shoots. Its clusters are huge and can bear from 8 to 15 fruits. The variety is recommended for cultivation in greenhouses and open ground.

A tomato with a distinct cuboid shape. Red, dense, with smooth skin and without a hint of ribbing.

Being very dense in appearance, the tomatoes are sugary and fleshy when cut. No one can say that the fruits are hard and at the same time they are quite juicy.

Although the weight of the tomato reaches 140-150 g, its shape allows it to fit into the neck of the jar. Having tried canned products from this variety, some vegetable growers recognize it as the best. Quality is determined by the fleshiness and juiciness of the pulp of pickled and canned tomatoes, and also by the fact that the fruit does not contain voids. By pulling it out of a jar or barrel, you can easily cut it into pieces, which is rarely possible to do with canned tomatoes.

Early varieties of tomatoes

The following early varieties of tomatoes can be distinguished:

Evgenia. For open ground. For salads and canning. Drought resistant. Short dark green leaves. Red, dense, smooth tomatoes. Do not crack. Good taste. Gives good yields even in bad weather conditions.

Aurora F1. It is grown both for salads and for pickling. For open ground and for growing under film. Medium size sheets. Weakly ribbed fruits weighing up to 110g. Valued for its friendly fruiting.

Characteristics of the variety and description of the fruits

For unknown reasons, there was confusion with the Yubileiny Tarasenko tomato variety. It goes on sale in two types - the one the breeder introduced the cultivar to, as well as the one released to the market by Agro and Aelita. The latter, judging by the characteristics and description of the variety, is similar to Tarasenko Hybrid 2. At least in the photo, it is extremely difficult to find the differences.

This article presents the original Jubilee tomato. The data is obtained from articles written by Theodosius Makarovich Tarasenko and his interviews.

History of the variety's creation

The tomato was bred in the north of Ukraine, in the Sumy region. In 1982, a physicist by training, amateur breeder F. M. Tarasenko cross-pollinated 3 varietal tomato crops:

Mexican San Marzano - tall, with small yellow cream weighing 10-15 g, collected in brushes of 300-400 pieces;
Hybrid Tarasenko 1 – salad, with red-orange, round, fleshy tomatoes weighing 200-300 g;
its own selection Hybrid 2, which, apparently, some brands sell under the name Yubileiny.

Description of the bush

The Jubilee tomato Tarasenko is indeterminate, that is, the growth of the bush is unlimited. Even in an unheated greenhouse, without topping it easily reaches 3 m; the breeder himself calls it liana-like, and advises growing it on a trellis both in open and protected ground.

The root system is powerful. The main shoot goes 1.5-2 m deep. The lateral shoots cover a significant feeding area and require sparse planting of bushes.

Fruit characteristics

Tomato Yubileiny Tarasenko lays the first cluster earlier than other indeterminate varieties - in 3-4 internodes. The second one often comes out above the next sheet, the rest - through 2 plates.

Complex loose clusters contain 300 or more buds arranged in a fan, but not all flowers are fertile. The ovaries do not appear simultaneously, starting from the center. It is recommended to pick the fruits at melange ripeness so as not to delay the filling and ripening of other tomatoes.

Tomatoes are round, often with a barely noticeable spout at the top, and vary in size. When planted in one trunk, the largest ones reach 180-200 g. The peel is strong, red with an orange tint, the surface is smooth, the largest tomatoes have weak ribs in the stalk area. With proper care, the lower bunches can weigh 4-4.5 kg.

The pulp is dense, fleshy, chambers – 6-8, taste – sweet with sourness. Tomatoes are good for fresh consumption, in winter salads, when pickled in barrels; the smallest ones fit in a jar and are suitable for whole-fruit canning. They are not used for making juice because of the consistency of the pulp; according to reviews, it produces a lot of waste.

Fruiting time and yield

The tomato variety Yubileiny Tarasenko is mid-season, long-bearing. Depending on the region, it begins to ripen after emergence at 105-120 days. If topping was not carried out, the last harvest is removed from bushes that have died from frost.

With timely pinching of the crown and agricultural technology recommended by F. M. Tarasenko, the yield of one plant is 16-17 kg. According to the breeder and reviews from those who planted Yubileiny in a heated greenhouse, the potential is higher.

The variety has become widespread among amateur gardeners and small farmers, but is rarely planted by large agricultural enterprises due to the difficulty of caring for tomatoes.

Pink varieties of tomatoes

The following varieties of pink tomatoes are popular:

Tomato Tomato
Demidov. Fruits from 150 to 200 g. Produces stable yields of large fruits. Very good for open ground.

O-la-la and Pink Raffaello. Round, deep pink tomatoes weighing up to 150g. They have excellent product and taste qualities.

Dad. Large, pink heart-shaped fruits. Unpretentious variety. Early ripening. Delicious tomatoes.

Characteristics of the tomato variety Yubileiny Tarasenko

The Tarasenko tomato, according to the characteristics and description of the variety presented by the originator, was bred for planting in open ground in regions with temperate and warm climates. In the conditions of Siberia and the Far East, where frosts can occur in early autumn and late spring, it is recommended to grow this variety in greenhouse conditions.

Tomato yield Yubileiny Tarasenko

Indeterminate tomatoes are a high-yielding variety - this quality was a priority during selection. Unlimited growth of the crop makes it possible to form new brushes. At the lower level, the tomatoes are larger and the yield reaches 5 kg. The next ovaries are slightly smaller; the number of fruits is the same as on the first one. The higher the clusters are formed, the smaller the number and weight of the fruits. Tomatoes ripen unevenly, which is why the crop bears fruit for a long time.

With competent agricultural technology and timely pest control, up to 8 kg of harvest can be obtained from one bush of the “Yubileiny Tarasenko” tomato variety. On average - 15 kg per 1 sq. m. Tomatoes store well, have good gastronomic qualities, average juiciness, and are easy to transport.

Application area

Due to its taste, the vegetable is consumed fresh. It tolerates heat treatment well and is suitable for homemade preparations. Tomatoes can be pickled or fermented. These tomatoes are suitable for making purees, ketchups, and homemade pasta.

Advice! The Yubileiny Tarasenko variety is not suitable for juice production - it has dense, not very juicy pulp.

Resistance to diseases and pests

Like any nightshade variety, despite reviews, the Jubilee Tarasenko tomato is susceptible to late blight. Thanks to the genetic material, “San Marzano” is significantly smaller than the usual mid-season varieties. Fungal infections are especially dangerous for plants kept in greenhouses. Constant humidity and temperature are maintained here. The spores can destroy all bushes within 14 days. In dry weather, late blight will not cause any harm to the Yubileiny Tarasenko variety. The tomato is also resistant to brown rot infection.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

The description of the tomato variety “Yubileiny Tarasenko” gives not only positive characteristics, but also mentions disadvantages. The advantage of a tomato is:

Excellent taste of the fruit.
High yield, independent of weather (except frost).
Possibility to grow crops in open ground.
Unlimited growth in height allows you to get a good harvest from a small area.
Suitable for industrial cultivation for commercial purposes.
Used for preservation.
The variety "Yubileiny Tarasenko" is drought-resistant and has good resistance to fungal and bacterial infections.
Tomatoes are stored for a long time and transported successfully.
The last harvest of milky ripeness, harvested before frost, ripens well in a lighted place. The tomato does not lose its qualities.

The variety has few disadvantages:

affected by pests;
more resistant to diseases;
the liana-like appearance requires a reinforced trellis;
uneven ripening.

Tarasenko's tomato collection

In total, during his fruitful life, the breeder gave gardeners more than 1,300 new varieties and hybrids. He named one line by his last name - his students urgently asked him to do this. This is how a collection of 10 unique hybrid varieties with very attractive characteristics appeared, and all the best qualities are collected in the Yubileiny Tarasenko tomato variety.

The collection includes: Tarasenko hybrids No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 5 F1, No. 6 F1 or Combitomat, No. 7 or Sunny March, Tarasenko pink tomato, Legend Tarasenko and Polessky Giant.

The list includes pure hybrids and so-called hybrid varieties. The peculiarity of the former is that their seeds do not retain hybrid characteristics in the second year due to splitting of the genetic set. Hybrid varieties are distinguished by the fact that independently collected seeds can retain all the qualities of the tomato from which they were collected for 1-2 years.

But in the future, splitting still occurs and the variety degenerates. And in order to get the promised harvest and taste of tomatoes, it is advisable to renew the seeds annually, purchasing only from official originators. There are several dozen of them, including domestic foreign agricultural firms - SeDek, Aelita, GL Seeds, Riva, Veles, etc.

general information

The author of the variety is amateur breeder (physics teacher) Tarasenko F.M. He created his creations hybrid Tarasenko 2, 6, “The Legend of Tarasenko” in the 80s of the last century in the Sumy region. Voronezh, Ukraine.

The varieties, although they are called hybrids (this is a common noun), are not included in the register of breeding achievements of either Ukraine or Russia. However, word of mouth, reviews, yield and taste have kept varieties on the market for many decades.

“Anniversary Tarasenko” was created by the author in 1987 and coincided with his anniversary, that year he turned 75 years old.

The ancestor of the variety is considered to be the Mexican “San Marzano”. It was his genetic material that made it possible to create resistance to late blight and brown spot.

Medium ripening tomato.

Choosing a tomato variety

The choice of tomato varieties is extremely rich. New amazing varieties appear with each season. In addition to the traditional red and raspberry colors, tomatoes have appeared on the market: yellow, orange, brown, green and even striped, white and black

It is important to know what they are intended for: some are better suited for direct consumption, others for purees and juices, cocktail tomatoes are good for salads. The latter have small fruits with thin skin, compared to other varieties

In addition to fruit color, flavor, and shape, pay attention to the plant's growth pattern: tall tomatoes will need supports to properly form and maintain two to three main stems; bushy varieties do not require the removal of excess shoots; they themselves will support the weight of the fruit clusters. The last criterion that must be taken into account when planning to grow tomatoes is the ripening period of the fruits.

It is worth purchasing both early and late varieties to ensure the availability of vegetables throughout the season.

The last criterion that must be taken into account when planning to grow tomatoes is the ripening period of the fruit. It is worth purchasing both early and late varieties to ensure the availability of vegetables throughout the season.

How to grow

This variety is completely unpretentious, but, like all tall and productive tomatoes, Jubilee Tarasenko needs proper care. In the climatic conditions of Russia, tomatoes are grown in seedlings, so you first need to sow the seeds.

Important! A gardener can safely collect seeds from his own tomatoes, because Jubilee Tarasenko is a varietal tomato, its seeds contain complete genetic information. That is, over the years the tomato does not “degenerate”

Growing seedlings

There is nothing complicated or unusual in growing Tarasenko tomato seedlings: they are grown in the same way as seedlings of other varieties:

Planting dates depend on the climate in the region. In central Russia, Tarasenko seeds are sown for seedlings at the end of March. You need to focus on the fact that by the time they are transplanted into the ground, the seedlings must be two months old. To grow tomatoes in a greenhouse, seeds should be sown a couple of weeks earlier.
The soil for tomatoes should be loose and nutritious, it needs to be disinfected. Acidity is preferably low or neutral.
Seeds should also be disinfected. A pink solution of manganese is suitable for this.
It would be a good idea to treat the planting material with a growth stimulant. For example, “Immunocytophyte”.
The seeds are laid out according to a 2x2 cm pattern; they need to be buried 1.5-2 cm. Sprinkle dry soil on top and water with warm, settled water. Cover the box with film and wait for the shoots to appear.
When the bulk of the seeds hatch, the film is removed. Tomatoes are placed on the windowsill, not far from a radiator or other heat source.
Tomatoes peak at the stage of a pair of true leaves. Large containers for picking Tarasenko tomatoes are needed, because the roots of the tomato are powerful - 250-300 ml cups are suitable.

Advice! Tomato seedlings of the Yubileiny variety are prone to elongation. To prevent this from happening, you need to illuminate the tomatoes with electric fluorescent lamps.

Planting tomatoes in the ground

Before planting in the garden, tomatoes are usually hardened off. This should be done 10-14 days before the upcoming planting; the temperature is lowered gradually. By the time the seedlings are transferred to the ground, each plant should have 7-8 leaves, and a flower ovary may be present.

The rules for planting Jubilee Tarasenko are as follows:

In advance, the beds are watered with a solution of potassium permanganate and dug up.
The holes for tomatoes are made in a checkerboard pattern, the distance between them should be 60-70 cm. The depth of the hole is large - about 30 cm, the diameter is about 15 cm.
The seedlings are buried down to the first true leaves, sprinkled with soil and the soil is lightly compacted.
If the tomato is too elongated, it is planted at an angle (you can even put the seedlings on the ground, burying the roots).
Immediately after planting, tomatoes should be watered with warm water. For the first few days after this, the seedlings are not watered until they become stronger.

Caring for tomatoes Tarasenko

Tomatoes do not require complex care, but all vine-like varieties require special treatment - the gardener must take this into account.

Caring for tomatoes is as follows:

When the seedlings get stronger and an additional leaf appears on it, it is necessary to tie up the tomatoes. It is better to use a trellis - supports in the form of stakes and wire stretched between them. A rope or thin strip of soft cloth is lowered to each tomato and a stem is tied.
After watering or rain, the soil must be loosened.
The bush is formed into one or two stems. The remaining shoots must be removed every 10 days throughout the entire tomato growing season. The length of the stepsons should not exceed 3-4 cm, otherwise their removal will be too traumatic for the plant.
It is also better to tear off the lower leaves, but do it gradually - removing 2-3 leaves a day.
About three times during the summer, tomatoes are treated with copper preparations to protect the bushes from fungal infections.
Regularly water the tomatoes, remove weeds between the rows, and inspect the bushes for pests.

Attention! When the tomato variety Yubileiny Tarasenko grows to 170 cm, its top needs to be pinched, leaving a couple of leaves. If this is not done, the vine will grow up to 300 cm, which will negatively affect the size and quality of the fruits

It is better to pick tomatoes unripe; they will turn red in a couple of days and will be stored for a long time. The variety is considered a salad variety, but is suitable for almost any purpose.

What is the Tarasenko-2 hybrid

The peculiarity of this variety is, among other things, that it can reach a height of 2.2 m. The characteristics of Tarasenko-2 tomatoes are simply excellent. They belong to the group of frost-resistant mid-season varieties. The fruits of this hybrid are round with a spout. Their skin and pulp are raspberry-red.

The taste of the fruits of Tarasenko 2, according to many gardeners, is simply excellent. Their flesh is very dense and sweet. It is the fruits of this variety, of all those bred by the Ukrainian breeder, that are considered most suitable for canning.

Like Tarasenko-1, this hybrid can also be grown in a greenhouse. The weight of the fruits of this variety can reach 60-100 g.

Tarasenko-3

This variety also belongs to the mid-season group. Its main advantages include abundant and long-lasting fruiting. These bushes can reach 1.8-2.2 m in height.

The fruits of hybrid tomatoes Tarasenko-3 can have either a plum-shaped or flat-round shape. Their color is bright red. Tomatoes grow quite large on this hybrid. Their weight can be 80-150 g. Tomatoes of this variety are considered suitable both for salads or fresh consumption, and for canning.
