Recommendations for cultivation

For the variety, the seedling planting method is preferred. Planting of seeds begins in mid-spring. To grow seeds, you will need separate containers with universal soil for the nightshade family. Seedlings require maintaining temperature conditions, organizing lighting and watering. The heat-loving plant grows well at air temperatures of at least 20 degrees and requires at least 16 hours of daylight.

IMPORTANT! Before transplanting, seedlings require hardening.

The low-growing plant successfully bears fruit when planted densely, up to 5 tomatoes per square meter of land. Further cultivation comes down to following simple rules of agricultural technology: watering, loosening and fertilizing, removing weeds.

Care requirements

All further care for tomatoes comes down to several activities. In the first few days, Caspar F1 tomatoes need protection from the sun and cold. Therefore, at midday they are covered with agrofibre or burlap, and at night - with film.

Watering

Systematic moistening promotes good growth and high-quality fruiting. The first watering is carried out a week after transplanting the tomatoes into the garden. All subsequent ones - as the earth dries out. Watering will be mandatory at the beginning of flowering and at the stage of fruit filling, which will increase the number of flowers and ovaries.

After each watering, the soil is loosened and weeds are removed. Each stem is mulched with peat or garden soil to protect it from lodging, and the roots from drying out.

Feeding

Plants need to be fertilized

The description of the Caspar F1 tomato includes high productivity, provided good nutrition. Tomatoes need to be fed 3 times throughout the entire season.

The first fertilizer with a urea solution (1 tablespoon per bucket of water) is applied 20 days after transplanting the tomatoes into the garden bed. 200 ml of working solution is poured under each plant. The second time, the crop is fertilized with mineral fertilizers (superphosphate with potassium salt - 15 g per 10 liters of water). Consumption per plant – 0.5 l.

The same fertilizer and in the same quantity is applied at the stage of fruit filling. Additionally, the bushes are irrigated with a solution of boric acid (0.2 g per 1 liter of hot water). Tomatoes are sprayed before flowering and a week after the flower buds dry out. Boron improves the quality of fruiting and immunity against diseases.

Garter and shaping

This plant does not need to be formed, but to obtain larger fruits it is recommended to pinch all shoots and leaves at the bottom of the bush. For stability and protection from stems breaking off under the weight of the fruit, a garter is applied as the stem grows.

Humidity and temperature

Greenhouse plants need to be provided with good ventilation and stable heat within 20-23 °C. To do this, you need to carry out frequent ventilation on sunny days in the morning. On hot days, the windows can be left open all day until the evening.

Prevention of diseases and pests

The plant is resistant to diseases, but gentle prevention will not hurt it. 3 weeks after transplanting into the garden, the tomatoes are treated with the preparation “HOM”, “Skor” or a solution of copper sulfate, Bordeaux mixture. The same products are used for re-treatment before flowering.

The following measures will help against parasites: timely removal of weeds, sprinkling with ash or ground hot pepper. If insects appear, it is necessary to spray the tomatoes with an ash-soap solution or an infusion of onion and garlic.

To protect greenhouse plants from various types of rot, you should follow the rules of watering - avoid waterlogging, loosen the soil between the rows, remove plant debris and weeds in a timely manner.

If tomatoes are damaged by diseases during the fruiting phase, treatment is not carried out, because fruits can absorb chemicals and become unfit for consumption.

Infected tomatoes are immediately removed from the site to avoid infection of healthy bushes. The places where they grow are irrigated with a concentrated solution of potassium permanganate or copper sulfate.

Landing

Like most of its relatives, the Max tomato is recommended for growing through seedlings. To do this, you must first plant the seeds. Sow the seeds in separate containers to a depth of 0.5 cm in moist, loose soil. This is done mainly in the second half of March. To speed up the seed germination process, containers can be covered with glass.

Next, you need to put the containers in a warm place and wait for germination. It is necessary to periodically moisten the soil; if desired, it can be fertilized. When the seeds have sprouted and 1-2 true leaves have appeared on them, the seedlings dive into separate pots. This usually happens 18-23 days after planting the seeds. Picked plants also need to be periodically moistened and hardened.

In order for the seedlings to harden and become strong, you need to periodically take them out onto the balcony or outside. At first this is done for an hour or two and gradually increases the time she spends in the fresh air to a whole day.

Important to remember. It is worth leaving seedlings outdoors for a long time only when the threat of night frosts has already passed. Otherwise, the plant may freeze and die.

The plant is planted in open soil in late May - early June. You can safely plant seedlings in the greenhouse in early May.

It is best to dig the holes in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of 50-60 cm from each other. The holes must be watered and organic natural fertilizer added to them. You can do without fertilizer, but with it the plant will grow faster and begin to bear fruit.

Tomato Max is one of the popular varieties, suitable for growing in all regions of the country. This resilient, unpretentious plant produces an excellent early harvest even under the hands of inexperienced, novice gardeners. It will appeal to experienced vegetable growers for its diverse benefits.

Characteristics and description of the Max variety

Max tomatoes have been known to gardeners since 1998, when they were introduced by Poisk-Plus JSC. They are equally suitable for growing both in open beds and in greenhouse conditions. It is recommended to place tomatoes in closed ground if you want to “squeeze” maximum yield from the crop.

Semi-spreading bushes are distinguished by medium-level branching and foliage. Max belongs to varieties with limited stem growth and does not exceed 70 cm in height. The leaves are light green, slightly corrugated.

The plant forms simple intermediate inflorescences - the first is formed above the 6-7th leaf, the next - after 1-2 leaves.

4-5 ovaries are formed on each inflorescence. The largest fruits grow on the middle part of the stem.

Flat-round, bright red tomatoes ripen together. There are at least 4 seed chambers in a tomato. Behind the dense skin, which partly provides the vegetables with good shelf life, lies a fleshy, juicy pulp with high taste qualities. The characteristic tomato taste is dominated by sweetness and barely noticeable sourness.

The Max variety is distinguished by its culinary versatility - these tomatoes can be used for making salads, homemade ketchup, juice and canning.

Features of cultivation and care

The dates for sowing seeds should be planned taking into account the fact that Max is planted in open ground at the end of May - early June, in closed ground - in early May.

In the northern regions and the middle zone, for the full development of the plant, it is recommended to sow seeds for seedlings 60 days before the expected date of planting them in open beds or in a greenhouse; in the southern regions, this period can be reduced to 55 days.

To plant Max tomatoes, it is recommended to set aside an area where carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, cabbage, and salads grew last year.

The cultivar is not picky about soil, but feels best on sandy loam soil.

For full development, it is recommended to plant no more than 6 bushes per 1 square meter.

Max loves sunlight, but in principle, he grows well and bears fruit even in conditions where daylight hours last for 8.5-9 hours. Experienced gardeners advise, if there is a lack of sun, to increase illumination to 10 hours a day using LED lamps.

Tomato Max belongs to that convenient group that does not require tying or pinching for care.

When growing a variety in a greenhouse, you should maintain the air temperature in it no higher than 23-25 ° C, and also ventilate it regularly.

Both in the ground and in closed ground, it is important to weed weeds in a timely manner and loosen the soil after each watering. In not very hot summers, it is enough to water the tomatoes 2-3 times a week.

Diseases and pests of the variety

The Max tomato variety is highly resistant to diseases and pests. According to some gardeners, these tomatoes are still susceptible to fungal infections if the rules of agricultural cultivation are not followed.

Blackleg is highly likely to affect young Max seedlings in the greenhouse. Symptoms are blackening and drying of the basal part of the stem, the appearance of a scattering of dark spots on the leaves. The bush may die.

To prevent blackleg, preventive measures are important - plants should not be thickened when planting and should not be over-watered. It is also recommended to add ash to the soil (100 g per 1 sq. m of planting) to reduce the acidity favorable to the disease.

Long-term observations have shown that mole crickets in greenhouses and open ground can harm Max. They attack the roots of the plant.

Marigolds planted next to tomatoes or fresh green aspen stakes stuck between the rows are good repels for the pest.

Advantages and disadvantages

Max tomatoes have many features that explain their popularity:

Max tomatoes do not have the highest yield. Tomatoes are also sensitive to heat, in which they need daily watering, and if there is too much direct sunlight, they can lose up to 20% of their ovaries.

The variety is resistant to fungal diseases.

The fry is an early ripening hybrid with a harvest 90-100 days after the start of the growing season. The determinate type of bush does not allow the stem to grow more than 65 cm high.

Reviews from gardeners about tomato Max

Svetlana, Moscow region:

“No matter what new tomato products appear, I plant Max every year. Because I want to be sure that I will not be left without delicious vegetables in the summer and winter preparations. I like that the variety is not demanding in care.”

“I’ve been planting Max tomatoes since 1999. I definitely take care of the bushes, so that the harvest is even higher than the statistical average. I like that the variety does not cause any illness. I sell part of the harvest and there are regular customers, because such tomatoes cannot be found in stores. I grow it in open ground. The main thing is to water less in the summer; vegetables can still crack.”

“I choose this variety every year, although there are more productive ones. I love gardening, but Max surprises me - it seems he can grow on his own. I grow these tomatoes in a greenhouse and really require minimal care. But, in my opinion, it is impossible to do without generous fertilizers - otherwise the fruits will not ripen smoothly.”

Tomatoes of the Max variety, despite the low yield, can be considered the “pearls” of their culture. They will fit harmoniously into any garden landscape, will not cause much trouble and will delight you with delicious early fruits.
