Fleshy raspberry fruits with a unique taste - Regiment Commander tomato: characteristics and description of the variety

The Regiment Commander tomato is a little-known variety whose large, fleshy pink fruits are popular with vegetable lovers. Tomatoes are good fresh and add a unique taste to dishes.

Siberian novelty

The Spetsnaz tomatoes were created by the famous Novosibirsk tomato scientist Vladimir Nikolaevich Dederko.
These vegetables underwent mandatory testing in open ground and greenhouses of farms near Novosibirsk and Altai. Then they were grown in other areas of the country. The research lasted several years. Excellent test results made it possible to issue a state patent for the Spetsnaz variety in 2016. It was officially recognized as an outstanding achievement of Russian selection. In 2022, this new product was recorded in the Seed Register. The tomato is recommended for all regions of Russia where it is possible to grow tomatoes.

Breeder V.N. Dederko exercises author's control over seed production. The only official seller of Spetsnaz tomatoes is Novosibirsk Agro. Spetsnaz is not a hybrid, so every gardener can get his own varietal seeds from it. They are taken from typical second-brush tomatoes taken from the most productive bushes.

Productivity

• The tomatoes of this hybrid have a regular round shape.
• The fruits are small in size, with an average weight of 85 to 140 grams.
• Both the skin and the pulp are quite dense.
• Tomatoes have a leveled, beautiful presentation.
• The fruits are resistant to cracking, both when ripening on the bush and during storage.
• At the stage of technical maturity, the color of tomatoes is light green, but when they are fully ripe, they become rich red.
• Taste characteristics are average to good. The fruits have a high content of dry matter, including sugars.

The fruits of the Intuition tomato are aligned and very attractive. According to the manufacturer, the purpose of the Intuition hybrid is universal. But gardeners consider it one of the best varieties for canning, but there are a large number of tastier tomatoes for fresh consumption. But thanks to the dense pulp, the fruits are well preserved in marinades and pickles.

The fruits of the Intuition tomato are also very well stored and are excellent for long-term transportation. Moreover, due to their attractive appearance, tomatoes are in great demand in the market. All these factors together make the Intuition tomato excellent for farm or industrial cultivation.

Tomatoes “Intuition”, as conceived by the breeders, were intended for closed ground. The variety, successful in all respects, showed good results even in the open air. The climate across the country varies greatly. For many regions of the Russian Federation, a greenhouse is the only way to get a full harvest of tomatoes.

Main differences Greenhouse Open ground Dates for planting seedlings Late April - early May (middle zone of the Russian Federation, without artificial heating) Depends on the established average daily temperature of 12°C, not earlier than mid-May Temperature and humidity regime Artificial heating and a system of vents for ventilation allow maintaining optimal conditions — Diseases Particular attention should be paid to prevention (greenhouse conditions contribute to outbreaks of infections): bush formation; regular ventilation; preventive treatment of plants and greenhouses against pathogens; moderate watering and fertilizing.

Before harvesting, regular preventive treatment against late blight and other infections. Particular attention should be paid to prevention in damp, cool weather. Weeds are not often found in greenhouse beds; mulching suppresses their growth. Regular weeding and loosening throughout the season Pests Colorado potato beetle Whitefly, thrips, Colorado potato beetle. The “Intuition” variety bears fruit well in the beds of those regions for whose climatic conditions it was bred

Many summer residents know that with equal efforts and costs, greenhouse plants produce yields almost 2 times higher

The “Intuition” variety bears fruit well in the beds of those regions for whose climatic conditions it was bred. Many summer residents know that with equal efforts and costs, greenhouse plants produce yields that are almost 2 times higher.

1. The total duration of the growing season increases by 1-2 months.
2. More ovaries are formed and they all have time to ripen.
3. Easier to care for plants.

An additional advantage of greenhouse cultivation of “Intuition” is that you can enjoy fresh tomatoes until the New Year.

Recommendations for cultivation

Cultivation is carried out using standard agricultural techniques for working with tomatoes. The ripening time depends on the time of planting the seeds and the climatic conditions of a particular region. The plant withstands the negative influence of environmental factors well. The seedlings are responsive to watering and regular feeding with complex preparations. The plant reacts negatively to a lack of potassium and boron in the soil.

Shoots require periodic pinching. This procedure allows the plant to properly redistribute nutrients and contributes to better nutrition of the fruit.

Excess shoots are removed up to the first flower tassel. The plant is immune to many tomato diseases. The variety is resistant to the following diseases:

• tobacco mosaic;
• late blight;
• bacteriosis

In order to protect against late blight and Alternaria, it is recommended to treat the bushes with Ordan. The bushes are sprayed when 4–6 true leaves form. The following spraying works are carried out at intervals of 7 to 10 days. 20 days before the harvest of vegetables, spraying is stopped.

Reliable varieties for harsh Russian realities

A rather tall Abakan rose bush, the tomatoes of which resemble a “bull’s heart”, because they boast enviable sizes and an average weight of almost 200 grams. The fruits are fleshy and bright pink with a refined flavor, they grow easily, preferring space. The best spacing for planting these plants is 2 pieces per 1 m2.

The Alsou variety, unlike the previous one, does not require cultivation on a special vertical support if such an event is not in the gardener’s plans. This tomato can withstand weather conditions in open, protected soil. Characterized by medium growth and not too powerful structure, but the tomatoes from the bush are large in size. Alsou goes well with salads and tomato juice. However, due to its large dimensions, it is not suitable for preservation without cutting. If you follow the rules for maintaining the variety in question, the expected yield per bush will be almost 10 kg.

Among the new Siberian tomato varieties for 2022 there is also Aquarelle, which is incredibly resistant to natural vagaries and therefore can easily grow in open ground. Due to their short stature, there is no need to carry out manipulations of tying and circumcising the stepchildren. Although the fruits cannot be called large (about 100 grams), nevertheless, they can be preserved perfectly. In addition, thanks to the thick layer of skin, tomatoes can easily withstand transportation and long-term storage. Early tomatoes have a growing season of one hundred days.

Tomato “Novichok”: variety description

Tomato Novichok is the work of domestic breeders. It was bred at the Volgograd breeding station. The authors are Liya Nikolaevna Popova and Nikolai Ivanovich Chulkov. The variety was registered in the State Register in 1986. Mid-early ripening, determinant type. The plant is quite compact, the bush is not standard, with an average number of leaves, the usual green color for tomatoes.

At a height of 50 to 90 centimeters, it requires support and tying up the bush. To obtain a decent result, it is necessary to constantly remove all developing stepsons. The laying of the first brush follows the 5-7th leaf of the plant. Their further formation through 1-2 leaves. The brush develops 6-7 tomatoes of almost the same size. Carry out the picking after the appearance of the third true leaf, and the first pinching after transplanting the seedlings onto the ridges.

Description of fruits:

The fruits of the Novichok tomato variety are red. They have an oval, somewhat ovoid shape. Weighing from 85 to 105 grams. The tomatoes are dense to the touch and have a well-defined fleshiness. They have from 3 to 5 chambers and are easily separated from the petiole. Quite amicable ripening of the crop, which is important for cultivation. Excellent presentation. Good safety during transportation.

You can compare the weight of the fruits of this variety with others in the table:

Growing and care

With the current high cost of seeds, tomatoes should be grown through potted seedlings. Seedlings are planted at the age of 30-50 days in open ground or greenhouses after May 20, when the threat of frost has passed. Two rows are placed every 60 cm, plants in the rows are planted every 50 cm. The length of the bed is arbitrary. With a high trellis, the stems are tied with twine (as in a greenhouse), throwing the tops of the lashes over the rail.

Before sowing, the seeds are soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. After the potassium permanganate solution, the seeds are washed with water to swell.

Secrets and rules of planting

Most often, Monomakh's Cap is grown in seedlings. This way you can get an earlier harvest and avoid the development of diseases. This will help you harvest more healthy tomatoes that are suitable for consumption or sale.

Seed preparation

50-60 days before the planned planting of seedlings in open ground, you need to start working. First of all, prepare the planting material.

Important recommendations for seed preparation:

1. Selection. To do this, seeds are carefully inspected and damaged or affected by disease are removed. If planting material is purchased in specialized stores, it is carefully selected in production.
2. Germination test. Selected seeds are placed in a salt solution. After 10 minutes, empty grains will float to the surface. They are drained along with the liquid.
3. Disinfection. To prevent diseases, planting material is soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 30 minutes. Then dry with a paper towel.
4. Increased productivity. The ash solution will help increase germination and yield. The seeds are soaked in the prepared liquid for 20-40 minutes. Then they dry it. Also for this purpose, drugs intended to stimulate growth are used.
5. Hardening. The prepared grains are placed in a fabric bag and hardened for 14 days. You need to alternate temperatures. For the first 12 hours, the bag is placed in a warm place for 12 hours, for the next 12 hours the grains should be kept in the cold, they are transferred to the refrigerator door.

This is the final stage of preparation, after which the planting material is suitable for planting in containers.

Container and soil

You can use low boxes made of wood, up to 13 cm high, or disposable plastic cups. Containers must have drainage holes. To prevent diseases, it is recommended to disinfect the container in advance with a solution of potassium permanganate.

Containers or boxes are filled with either store-bought universal soil, which has the correct composition for grain germination, or prepared independently.

It's easy to do:

• prepare peat or rotted manure and soil in equal volumes;
• the total volume should be a full bucket;
• Add a glass of ash and a liter jar of clean sand (without stones or debris) to a bucket of this organic mixture.
• stir until smooth.

Tomatoes grow well in a light and nutritious environment. Acidic and dense soil is not suitable for them.

Sowing

Prepared seeds are immersed in the soil 1-1.5 cm, sprinkled with earth and moistened with a spray bottle.

If planting material is planted in large boxes, then it is important to maintain a distance of 3 cm. The container is covered with glass or film and placed in a warm place until the first shoots appear

With the appearance of the third true leaf, the seedlings are transplanted into separate cups. After 10-11 days, feed with complex fertilizer with nitrogen. 2 weeks before planting in a permanent place, the sprouts are hardened off in the fresh air.

Tomato Sovereign

Varietal tomatoes Sovereign F1 are a selection hybrid bred. This representative of the vegetable crop should be grown in open ground conditions. This variety of tomatoes is salad, early ripening, and has high yields.

Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Sovereign F1

• The Sovereign tomato variety finally ripens 100 days after sowing the seeds for growing seedlings in small containers. The bush develops well even in an unheated greenhouse.
• The growth of the shrub in length is limited and cannot exceed 1 meter when planted on an open ridge. The leaves are medium in size and dark green in color. Each stem forms four brushes on which the inflorescences of future tomatoes are set.
• The stem part does not need to be formed. The green mass on the bush increases in a consistently short time. The maximum yield that can be obtained from one bush planting is about 20 kg.

Note! Sovereign is sometimes confused with another variety: Tsar. These are different varieties with different fruit characteristics!

The described tomato variety and the Tsar hybrid differ in the following parameters:

The described tomato variety and the Tsar hybrid differ in the following parameters:

• The ripening period of Sovereign varietal tomatoes is early, while Tsar is a mid-season tomato.
• Varietal tomatoes Tsar are intended for cultivation in greenhouse conditions, in hotbeds and on open ridges; the Sovereign variety is recommended for cultivation in open ground.

Gardeners who grow the Sovereign variety note the good resistance of planting material to the following diseases:

The Sovereign F1 variety is notable for the excellent quality of the ripe harvest. Ripe tomatoes have a sweet and sour taste, characteristic of these vegetables.

• Good shelf life, vegetables tolerate long-distance transportation well.
• The soft consistency of the core part, characterized by juiciness and sugar content.

• The shape of tomatoes is ovoid, with a teardrop-shaped end.
• On average, one fruit weighs about 1 kg.
• The sweet taste of tomatoes is due to the high sugar content of vegetables.
• Ripe tomatoes have a yellow-red hue. Inside each fruit there are 8 chambers with seeds.

To complete the ripening process, vegetables can be placed indoors and stored without refrigeration for a month. This storage method will not affect the quality and taste of the fruit. Green tomatoes can be placed in a box and placed in a dark place.

Note! Dishes made from these vegetables will taste sweet

Growing tomatoes

Climatic conditions have a significant impact on yield, as do the characteristics of specific areas. The quality of planting care also matters.

Peat pots for seedlings should be prepared by the end of March.

Important! Pre-planting material and container are disinfected with a manganese solution. The soil for seedlings should have a light consistency and fertility - peat is considered the best option. The seeds need to be buried approximately 1 cm

The average air temperature under which the landing tanks will be located is +24°C. When the first shoots appear, the temperature drops to +18°C

Description of tomato variety Chelnok: characteristics and growing regions

The early ripening tomato variety Chelnok was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation in 1997. It is officially recommended for cultivation in open ground. Three regions have been proposed for its cultivation: Central, Volga-Vyatka and West Siberian. However, it is also planted in greenhouses, and not only in the named regions. The shuttle is well known by gardeners not only in Russia, but also in neighboring countries, for example, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova.

Shuttle is a variety of domestic selection: it was bred at the All-Russian Research Institute of Seed Growing and Selection of Vegetable Crops. The State Register suggests its use on household plots and other small farms. This is an early-ripening tomato, the fruits of which ripen 82–121 days after emergence, that is, in the middle zone, the first tomatoes ripen at the very end of June, after which fruiting continues until frost.

The Chelnoka bush is very compact, erect, only 40–45 cm high, the branching is weak, the foliage is average. This fact makes the variety desirable among those summer residents who have miniature plots; some enthusiasts even grow it on the balcony. The leaves are dark green in color, medium in size, glossy. The inflorescences are simple: the first of them appears above the 6th or 7th leaf, and then every 1 or 2 leaves.

The bushes do not require staking, but if the harvest is large, many gardeners still arrange supports for it

Shuttle is a non-capricious variety. It is undemanding in care, produces good harvests even in rainy and cool seasons, and is one of the relatively few truly Siberian varieties. However, its susceptibility to diseases, including late blight, is at an average level. Due to the very dense stem (and Shuttle is a standard plant), it does without tying to supports, even rich harvests do not overwhelm the bushes.

The Chelnok variety is considered super-determinant: it does not require shaping or pinching at all, and due to its compactness and stability in space, the fruits evenly warm up in the sun. Since the bushes take up little space, they are planted frequently: every 35–40 cm. The variety is so cold-resistant that it can be grown in unprotected soil even in the northern regions. However, many gardeners who want to grow very early harvests also plant Chelnok in greenhouses.

The fruits of this tomato are located on the bushes in clusters. The overall yield is average, but for an early variety it is quite good: the usual figures are 4–5 kg/m2, the record is 8 kg/m2. Fruit ripening is gradual.

The shape of the fruit is interesting, it is not found so often, so Chelnok is not difficult to recognize among other varieties of tomatoes. They are elongated-oval, with a spout at the top, sometimes called “pepper-shaped”. There is no ribbing, the color of the ripe fruit is bright red, there are 2 or 3 seed chambers. The tomatoes are medium-sized, weighing 25–55 g, so they can be used not only fresh, but also for whole-fruit canning.

The pulp is fleshy and sweet. The taste, both fresh and salted, is considered good, and the chemical composition allows the Shuttle to be used in baby food. The harvest is well transported and stored for quite a long time: after several days without refrigeration, no external changes or deterioration of taste are noted.

Growing seedlings

The success of growing the Black Gourmet tomato largely depends on the quality of the seedlings. Seedlings for planting indeterminate tomatoes should be 60-65 days old. The bushes are vigorous, so you need to make sure that the seedlings do not stretch out.

Tomato seedlings are fertilized every 10-14 days. Tomatoes are responsive to fertilizers that contain humic acids. During the initial growth period, fertilizers containing nitrogen are needed.

In summer, in a greenhouse, it is difficult to maintain the optimal temperature. It is often very hot there and the temperature is prohibitively high. If the greenhouse is film, then you can remove part of the film, opening the opposite sides of the greenhouse for ventilation.

If the greenhouse is glass, then the glass can be covered with whitewash, which is easily washed off. This way it will be cooler in the greenhouse, and there will be enough light in any case. Tomatoes in a greenhouse need to be watered 2-3 times a week.

Gardeners recommend tying tall stems directly to the greenhouse frame.

The bushes bear fruit until October. Tomatoes store well and do not crack.

The key to a good harvest is high-quality seedlings. Growing seedlings is not difficult if you follow certain rules.

1. Seed preparation. Tomato seeds purchased from a specialty store are ready for planting. Those that you collected yourself require pre-processing and testing for germination. You can check the seeds using a saline solution. Dissolve one teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and soak the seeds. After 10 - 15 minutes, stir and remove all floating seeds - only those remaining at the bottom are suitable for planting. Seeds are checked for germination immediately before planting. The saline solution is washed off under running water.
2. Sowing. Seeds can be sown dry or pre-soaked for 20 - 24 hours. They are sown in boxes or two seeds are planted in peat pots. Sowing depth is 1.5 cm. Containers for speedy germination are placed in a warm place and covered with glass (or film).
3. Temperature. For seed germination, the temperature in the room is maintained at no lower than 25. After the “hooks” appear, to stimulate the early emergence of seedlings, the temperature during the day is lowered by 5 degrees, and at night – 16, 18 degrees.
4. Lighting. In order for the seedlings to sprout smoothly and not stretch, additional lighting will be required for 12 to 14 hours.
5. Caring for seedlings. After two true leaves appear on the seedlings, pick. Plants are planted in separate pots or special containers. The earth is periodically loosened. Water moderately.

Seeds for seedlings begin to be sown at the end of February. You need to land in 2 weeks. After March 10th it is already too late. Seeds bought in a store do not require any preparation, as they have a special layer. He provides them with everything they need.

Seed preparation

But if you have your own seeds, they need to be processed. Main stages:

• The seeds are wrapped in gauze or bandage, well moistened with a solution of potassium permanganate. Leave for a couple of hours. Rinse with running water.
• Then they are treated with a growth stimulator, preparing it according to the instructions. You can use aloe juice diluted in half with water for this. The procedure lasts 12 hours. Then the seeds are washed again with settled water.
• Warm up on a warm radiator for 2 days. The gauze must be kept damp at all times.
• The last stage is hardening on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator at 3 degrees Celsius. Time -1 day.

Seedling care

The seeds are sown in a fertile soil mixture to a depth of 5 cm. Covered with film, put in a bright place, and wait for the first shoots. They appear on the 3rd day

It is important to maintain soil moisture and light. The film is removed when the seedlings grow. The appearance of 3 leaves - time to pick and transplant

The appearance of 3 leaves is the time to pick and replant.

The best varieties of tomatoes for 2022: photos and descriptions

When choosing tomatoes for their plot, gardeners, first of all, rely on varietal or hybrid characteristics. Productivity is the most important criterion on which the quantity and quality of the harvest depends. Sometimes it can be difficult to choose the right option from the rich variety of tomatoes for open ground and greenhouses. Then varieties are selected depending on the growing region, ripening period, degree of disease resistance and other factors.

Varieties for open ground

A huge number of species with excellent yields are intended for growing vegetables in the open air. Low-growing bushes with large fruits are one of the advantages of tomatoes for the soil. Such heat-loving plants are easier to care for and do not require complex agricultural practices.

According to ripening period

Tomatoes, like other vegetable crops, are characterized by different ripening periods, from early to late.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Nothing is perfect, and when we read only rave reviews about something, the thought creeps in that this is not entirely true. Of course, the Shuttle tomato has disadvantages, including very significant ones. But it undoubtedly has more obvious advantages. This is for example:

• cold resistance of the variety: of course, the bushes will die in frosts, but the plant can easily withstand very low positive temperatures, as well as their sudden changes;
• no need to form or even tie up the bush: all work in this regard is limited to removing the lower leaves as the fruit grows;
• good yield for an early variety;
• very good taste of early ripening tomatoes;
• convenient size of fruits, allowing them to be used for canning in standard jars;
• universal purpose of the crop, its good transportability and fresh preservation;
• extended fruiting: starting to ripen in June, the harvest continues to arrive until frost.

Among the disadvantages of the variety, the following are most often noted:

• low resistance to diseases;
• reduction in yield in case of cold snaps during the period of mass flowering;
• excessive acidity of fruits;
• significant reduction in aroma during canning.

The positive aspects undoubtedly outweigh the negative, which is why Chelnok enjoys well-deserved and undeniable popularity among amateur gardeners in most of our country. The main difference from most other early-ripening tomatoes, of course, is in the shape of the fruit: not many varieties have a pepper-like shape. This can hardly be considered an advantage, but there are many fans of such tomatoes: they are very convenient to cut into rings, for example, for sandwiches. Such fruits also look beautiful on holiday tables. The shape of De Barao's tomatoes is somewhat similar, but this variety is not an early variety.

The fruits of De Barao do indeed resemble Chelnok a little, but this is a mid-season variety that grows as a tall bush

If we ignore the form, then among early-ripening tomatoes Chelnok is among the best, successfully competing, for example, with White filling or Betta. All these varieties have comparable yields, disease resistance, and fruit taste: if, for example, White Naliv is somewhat superior in unpretentiousness, then Chelnok is superior in elegance, and Betta is superior in early ripening. Actually, there are currently many hundreds of varieties and hybrids of tomatoes, and each gardener chooses his own favorites.

Disease protection and fertilizer

The use of chemical methods of protection should be minimal. You need to plant seedlings as far as possible from each other, so that the bushes do not interfere with each other and do not fight for a place in the sun.

1. It would be best to plant the seedling at a distance of 70-80 cm from its neighbors. The crown of the leading bushes will not allow the sun's rays to fall on their relatives.
2. Do not skimp on space, give the seedlings as much space as possible; if you neglect this advice, the upper part of the plant will darken all the plants near it.
3. Chemical methods currently remain the main ones, but their use can be successfully combined with biological and mechanical methods.
4. Treating tomatoes with folk remedies will save a significant part of the harvest. In addition to traditional means of combating late blight, you can use proven folk remedies. In June, the bushes are sprayed with Bordeaux mixture. An infusion of marigold and wormwood is used to combat diseases.

When digging in the fall, it is advisable to add humus; it must be combined with the top fertile layer of soil. In spring, superphosphate must be added to the beds.

If this component is not available, you can use a kilogram of wood ash. Distribute fertilizers evenly over the entire area of ​​the ridge, cover by digging or loosening.

It is recommended to spray with a 4 - 5% urea solution, this will protect the plants from viral and fungal diseases.

1. To combat late blight, an infusion of rotted hay is used together with disubstituted sodium phosphate and sulfur preparations. In rainy years, the treatment is repeated after 10-11 days.
2. The first signs of the disease appear in yellowing and drying of the leaves. Affected fruits and shoots stop growing, the fruits become small and inedible.
3. Excessive moisture, especially on wet soils, contributes to the intensive spread of diseases.

Fruits of the giant variety

The weight of tomatoes varies widely. In July, truly gigantic fruits grow on the first clusters - each from half a kilogram to a kilogram. To achieve a record weight, 1–2 ovaries are left in the lower hands. Altai vegetable grower Lyubov Petrovna Dronova grew a Spetsnaz tomato weighing 1,200 grams on her mini-farm.

In August, Spetsnaz produces a second wave of harvest. During this period, the average weight of the fetus is 220 – 230 grams. Other features of the variety:

The clusters are simple, not branched, bearing 3–5 fruits. The shape of tomatoes is classic round, flattened at the top and bottom. The ribbing is weakly expressed. The color of the fruit is crimson-red. The skin is smooth, strong, and does not crack. The taste characteristics are excellent. There is an excellent balance of sugars and organic acids. The pulp is quite dense, but not rough. There are few seeds in the fruits. The purpose is primarily salad. However, ripe tomatoes are not very shelf-stable, so they are processed into juices, ketchups, lecho and other preparations.

Two waves of fruiting are a special breeding achievement embodied in the modern Spetsnaz variety.

Description of the Dorodny tomato variety, growing characteristics and yield

Tomato Dorodniy is produced agro and is intended for dietary and baby food. It is grown throughout the Russian Federation and in neighboring countries. Why this variety is so good and how to grow it, we will consider below.

Characteristics

The variety is of indeterminate type, early ripening - 110–115 days pass from seed germination to the receipt of the first ripe tomatoes. Fruits better in closed greenhouses. Characteristics of the bush: tall. When grown indoors, it reaches a height of 2 meters. The bush is powerful, the leaves are large. When growing, plants require staking and pinching.

The fruits are large in size - the weight of one is from 300 to 600 grams, some fruits reach sizes of 800 grams, and are raspberry in color. The surface of the fruit is ribbed on large fruits and slightly ribbed on smaller fruits. The taste is sweet and bright. When cut, it has 8 nests with seeds. When ripe, the stalk does not have a green spot. The pulp is fleshy and juicy.

The fruits can be used to make tomato juices, sauces, and canned salads. The fruits are tasty fresh - housewives often prepare summer salads from them.

Agrotechnics of cultivation

The variety is grown mainly in seedlings by planting plants in an indoor greenhouse. Description of cultivation:

• Seeds for seedlings are planted in mid-March in fertile soil.
• The plantings are covered with film until the first shoots appear.
