Origin of the variety One Hundred Pudov

Accurate information about the 100 Poods tomato is in the State Register. The variety was included in it after tests were carried out in 2013. N.N. Nastenko, V.G. Kachainik (head of the Aelita agricultural company), O.V. Astakhova worked on it.

Varieties were tested using standard agricultural practices. One Hundred Poods tomatoes were grown under film covers. Under such conditions, the variety showed low yield - 9 kg/m². With intensive care, summer residents receive more fruit than the manufacturer stated.

Productivity

The mid-early variety is suitable for growing in open beds only in warm regions. Starting from Central Russia, seedlings are formed in heated greenhouses. In the northern regions of the country, due to its indeterminate nature, the variety is grown entirely in cultivation facilities, which makes it possible to have fresh tomatoes all year round.

“One Hundred Poods” tomatoes are high-yielding. Therefore, regardless of the growing conditions, you can take about 6 kg of fruit from one bush, and up to 9 kg from 1 sq.m.

Characteristics and description

One Hundred Poods is a hybrid, so you need to buy seeds. In terms of ripening time, it is included in the group of mid-season tomatoes.

Bush

Indeterminate, with unlimited growth power. 2–3 weeks before the end of fruiting, pinch off the growing points. The height of the bush is 1.6–1.8 m. In a greenhouse it can reach 2 m. The leaves of the plant are dark green, large, the type of inflorescences is intermediate. The tomato bears 2-3 fruits in a bunch.

Productivity and taste of fruits

The shape of the tomatoes is original. She's pear-shaped. There is pronounced ribbing in the area of ​​the stalk. Ripe tomatoes turn deep red. They are large, weighing 170–300 g. Very juicy and fleshy pulp contains a small amount of seeds.

It is important! With good care, the yield is 18–20 kg/m².

She's sweet. The taste has a slight sourness. Seed chambers 4–6 pcs. The skin of the fruit is thin but durable. There are no cracks on it. The pulp of the Hundred Poods tomato contains lycopene, sugar, and beta-carotene.

Scope of crop application

In the State Register, the variety Hundred Pudov is declared as a salad variety. It is grown for fresh consumption and as a raw material for winter preparations. Juice, sauces, and savory snacks are made from the fruits.

Immunity to diseases and pests

With proper care, the Hundred Poods tomato is not susceptible to infections. Stable immunity is embedded in genes.

Varietal characteristics

The characteristics of a particular variety are what sets it apart from the crowd of similar plants.

Description of the variety

The bushes of this variety ripen large, 180-350 grams, bright red fruits, shaped like a small ribbed pear-shaped pumpkin. The tomatoes are very fleshy, juicy, of medium density with a small amount of seeds and free liquid. The rich tomato, sweet taste with a slight sourness captivates you immediately and forever. The fruits are covered with a thin but dense skin, which protects them from cracking and damage during transportation.

A non-standard, indeterminate variety, with proper agricultural technology, produces more than 28 kilograms of tomatoes per square meter. The size of the bush depends on the growing conditions.

In the open ground of the temperate zone, plants reach 150-170 cm, and in warmer climates or in a greenhouse they can grow above 250 cm. It is recommended to plant no more than 4 bushes per 1 m2. That is, the distance between neighboring bushes should be 40-50 cm. With a smaller area, the gardener runs the risk of getting small fruits, and by planting the bushes much more spaciously, he will lose in the number of fruit-bearing bushes.

The average early maturity of a variety determines the duration of crop ripening from the appearance of the first shoots. This interval is about 115 days. The bush is formed into 1-2 stems.

Mandatory pinching and gartering not only of the stem and large branches, but also of individual clusters with large fruits. Large dark green leaves cover the bush with medium density. The variety “One Hundred Pudov” is a heat-loving plant. Therefore, in a temperate climate, planning a generous harvest, it is better to grow tomatoes in greenhouses or greenhouses.

Productivity

From one bush of this amazing variety you can harvest 6-7 kilograms of large tomatoes with a delicious taste . The fruits can be harvested when fully ripe and green. They store well and ripen quickly at room temperature.

The fruits are too large for preservation as a whole. Therefore, “One Hundred Poods” is mainly classified as a salad variety, but it is perfect for preparing thick juices, pastes and all kinds of sauces with a tomato component.

Features of cultivation and storage

The variety is cultivated only through seedlings, sowing 65-70 days before transplanting the seedlings to the garden bed.

Planting scheme: three bushes per square meter. Lianas form mainly in one stem. Experienced gardeners can grow this tomato with two or even three stems, making sure to pinch off the tops 3 weeks before the end of the season.

Tomatoes, despite their size, are well stored and transported. Longitudinal, well-defined ribs give the fruit shock-absorbing properties.

The harvest is transported in boxes in one layer. When ripe, tomatoes will keep in the refrigerator for about a week. Picked at technical or milk ripeness, they ripen well in a warm room without losing their taste and attractive appearance.

Growing seedlings

The variety is mid-season with a long growing season. To grow a full-fledged crop, it is propagated by seedlings. To ensure 100% germination, seeds are taken with an unexpired shelf life.

Preparing seeds and soil

You should read the information on the packaging before boarding. There is no need to process planting material if it is stated that it has been processed. Process the seeds according to the classical scheme, if there is no such mark:

• prepare a 1% solution of copper sulfate;
• select undamaged specimens;
• soak for 20 minutes.

Sprinkle the soil mixture (garden soil, lowland peat, humus, sand) with a fungicide solution 5 days before planting. To do this, purchase the drug “Fitosporin”, liquid or paste. If there is no biological product, prepare a solution of potassium permanganate. Water the soil mixture with it.

Terms and rules of sowing

In unheated greenhouses, the timing of transplanting seedlings into the ground depends on the weather. The greenhouse soil must warm up, the air temperature must stabilize, and at night it must not fall below 8 °C. Tomato seedlings Sto Pudov are planted in a permanent place at the age of 65–70 days.

Comment! A seedling is of high quality if it has 8–9 leaves at the time of transplantation.

Seeds are sown in a common container with a pitch of 2–3 cm. In the phase of 1–2 true leaves, they are planted in separate containers. The minimum volume of soil to form a good root system is 0.5 liters.

Conditions for growing seedlings

Before germination, the box is placed in a room where the air is heated to 22–25 °C. To create a greenhouse effect, cover it with film. When the first shoots appear, the temperature is reduced. Strong, non-stretched seedlings are grown if optimal conditions are created for them:

• daytime temperature 16–18 °C, night temperature slightly lower;
• good lighting for 12–14 hours;
• moderate but regular watering with warm, settled water.

Features of growing tomatoes One Hundred Poods, planting and care

It is recommended to sow seeds of this tomato variety for seedlings 60-65 days before the intended planting in the ground. Seedlings dive at the stage of two true leaves. When planting seedlings in a permanent place per 1 sq. There are 3-4 plants per meter.

Further care for tomatoes consists of timely watering, fertilizing with complex mineral fertilizers (if used), pinching and preventive treatment against diseases and pests.

Transplantation to a permanent place

When transplanting, tomato seedlings experience stress. The temperature regime, lighting, humidity and soil temperature change. To reduce it, Sto Poodov tomato seedlings are hardened off before transplanting. Place in the sun during the day, lower the temperature to 8 °C at night.

In open ground

In the spring in the middle zone and beyond the Urals there is a threat of return frosts, so seedlings are transplanted to a permanent place from the end of May to June 10. They are planted in pre-prepared holes filled with the mixture:

• garden soil;
• humus;
• ash;
• superphosphate;
• potassium sulfate;
• urea.

Important! Powerful bushes will need support, so during planting you need to place stakes 1.8 m high or build a trellis.

To the greenhouse

One Hundred Poods seedlings are planted indoors from mid-April. No more than 3 bushes are planted per 1 m² of ridge. The soil is prepared in the fall. Once every 2–3 years, the top layer of soil is renewed (5–7 cm). Every year, fertility is restored by applying mineral (phosphorus-potassium) and organic (humus, vegetable compost) fertilizers.

When planting in the hole put:

• a large handful of humus;
• a handful of ash;
• a teaspoon of urea.

Seed preparation and cultivation

To grow tomatoes of the “One Hundred Poods” variety, both seedling and non-seedling methods are used. It’s a good idea to pre-soak the seeds in a growth stimulant - this will ensure more friendly and faster germination.

Seedling method

For optimal soil composition you need to take:

• garden soil;
• peat or humus;
• wood ash;
• superphosphates.

Mix well and place in containers for seedlings. In the soil prepared in this way, sow the seeds with a slight depth, water and cover with film, first puncturing holes for ventilation. For rapid germination, it is necessary to ensure a temperature within + 25-26 ° C.

After the first seedlings appear, the film is removed and the containers are placed in a sunny place.

At this stage, you should not overfill the sprouts; it is enough to moisten the soil with a spray bottle or water it moderately from a watering can. After the formation of the first two true leaves, the seedlings are planted and fertilized with a liquid mineral complex. When the seedlings are about two months old, they can be transplanted into a greenhouse.

Seedless method

This agricultural technique involves sowing seeds directly in the greenhouse. The soil in the holes is prepared in the same way as for planting in containers with organic and chemical additives.

The seeds are buried in holes and watered with heated water; cold water can significantly slow down germination. Plants need to be fed at least twice a month. Before flowering - nitrogen fertilizers, after the first ovaries appear - superphosphate and magnesium sulfate.

How to care for tomato beds

Caring for greenhouse and ground cucumbers differs insignificantly. In a garden, the temperature and humidity of the air are controlled by the weather, but in a greenhouse this is done by the gardener. If it is not equipped with automatic ventilation and irrigation systems, you have to open the windows and water it yourself.

Watering

In hot weather, actively vegetating bushes are watered at least 2 times a week. They spend a lot of water; it should moisten the soil to a depth of 40–45 cm. With surface watering, a superficial root system is formed, which does not provide adequate nutrition to the Sto Poodov tomato bushes.

Comment! When tomatoes ripen en masse on the bushes, watering is reduced to once a week.

Top dressing

Feed the rooted seedlings for the first time. It takes her 2 weeks to adapt after the transplant. During this period, bushes consume a lot of nitrogen because they are actively growing green mass. Suitable fertilizers during this period:

• mullein infusion;
• herbal infusion;
• ammonium nitrate or urea - 1 tbsp. l per bucket

During flowering and fruiting, Hundred Poods need to be fed twice with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. If the weather worsens, spray with a solution of boric acid with iodine or whey with iodine.

Stepson and garter

Remove stepchildren at least once a week. Keep the bush with 1, maximum 2 trunks. For tying, use soft knitting. They can be cut from old, disused items. Do pinching and tying lashes all season long.

Control of diseases and harmful insects

In a greenhouse that is properly prepared for the new season, equipped with comfortable windows, Sto Poodov tomatoes do not get sick or are affected by insects. When resorting to standard preventive measures, gardeners rarely use chemicals. When insects appear, folk remedies are used. Prepare infusions:

• ash;
• onion peel;
• celandine.

Features of care

Caring for planted seedlings is standard: watering, loosening, fertilizing, forming and tying up shoots, preventive and protective spraying, regular collection of ripened fruits.

Watering rules:

• Newly planted tomatoes should be watered with a small amount of warm water.
• Plants that have taken root and begun to bloom are subjected to abundant but infrequent watering.
• Bushes that have begun to bear fruit are shed “a lot and often,” allowing the fruits to fill with pulp and juicy elasticity.

After irrigation, the soil is loosened, mulched, and covered with agrotextiles.

Weeding - as needed, fertilizing a couple of times during the vegetative growth period.

Harvesting is carried out regularly: they are picked from the clusters as soon as the fruits acquire their characteristic size and color.

Tomatoes ripened on the bush will be the most delicious. But they can easily ripen in a warm room.

Those wishing to stock up on their own seeds are advised to mark and hold several of the most successful specimens until they are fully ripe.

Landing specifics

Tomatoes 100 pounds grow well and bear fruit abundantly in any soil. Before planting in pots, seeds need to be prepared:

1. Leave the seeds in a strong salt solution for 15 minutes and select only the sunken ones.
2. Soak them for 20 minutes in a solution of potassium permanganate (0.5 g per 100 ml of water) or in a growth stimulator (soaking time is indicated in the instructions), then leave in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
3. Warm the seeds for half an hour at a temperature of 20 degrees, then place them on a damp cloth and leave them in a dry, dark place until they hatch.

Seeds are planted in containers with pre-prepared soil. Procedure:

1. First prepare the soil for planting. Mix equal proportions of soil from the garden, peat and river sand. Add 2 tbsp. spoons of ash to normalize acidity.
2. Pour soil into containers and level.
3. Plant the hatched seeds to a depth of 1 cm at a distance of 2-3 cm.
4. Dust with soil and spray with cool water from a spray bottle.
5. Then cover the container with a glass jar or durable polyethylene and place it in a dark, warm place.

The room temperature should be 25-27 degrees, and humidity - 60-80 percent.

After the first shoots appear, remove the cover from the container and place it in a bright room. It wouldn't hurt to add additional lighting. A fluorescent phytolamp is suitable, which stimulates the development of roots and helps strengthen the stems. Install it at a distance of 25-40 cm from the seedlings.

Plant the seedlings in separate liter containers immediately after 2 leaves appear. Replant them together with a clod of earth so as not to damage the still weak roots. As soon as 3-4 leaves grow, begin hardening to prepare the sprouts for open ground. Take the pots of seedlings out onto the balcony for 2 hours every day. Gradually increase the time.

Tomatoes of the “One Hundred Poods” variety are planted in greenhouses at 2 months of age. In the southern regions, the sprouts must be transferred to open ground no later than May 15. Before planting, prepare the soil as follows:

1. Loosen the soil.
2. Pour a hot solution of potassium permanganate (5 g of powder per 10 liters of water).
3. Mulch with humus, peat, straw or compost, feed with slurry and pour water into the hole (after that, do not water the seedlings for 7-10 days).

One hundred pounds of large tomatoes.
Sprouts are planted in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of 35-40 cm from each other. A minimum of 70 cm is left between the rows. There should be no more than 3 seedlings per 1 m2 of area.

During the growing season, moisten the soil once a week, and twice when ovaries appear. A bush requires 3-5 liters of water. During the ripening of tomatoes, stop watering or reduce the amount of liquid to 1 liter.

After rooting the tomatoes, cut off the side shoots, lower leaves and form a bush of 1-2 stems. When the top begins to curl, tie the plant to the stakes. Install them in advance before planting to avoid damaging the root system.

Feed the plant 4 times: 2 weeks after planting, when buds appear, during the growth period and when setting tomatoes. Buy any complex fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Feed fruiting bushes with preparations containing iodine, manganese and boron to accelerate ripening and improve taste. The scheme for fertilizing tomatoes in a greenhouse is similar.

Pest Control

Tomatoes of the Hundred Poods variety rarely suffer from diseases and attacks of harmful insects, but preventive maintenance must be carried out regularly. Do not forget to fertilize the plant to strengthen the root system. Constantly inspect leaves and stems for spots, holes or other defects. Once a season, spray the bushes with “Fitosporin” (5 g per 10 liters of water) or “Bitoxibacillin” (100 ml per 10 liters of water). Any purchased insecticides from a gardening store will save you from parasites.

During the rainy season, One Hundred Poods tomatoes may suffer from late blight. This is a fungus that appears due to excessive humidity. In greenhouses, the problem occurs when there is a lack of minerals and an excess of nitrogen in the soil.

A fluffy coating appears on the back of the leaves, the stem is covered with gray-brown specks, and the fruits are covered with dark spots. Late blight is treated with Furacilin (10 tablets per 10 liters of water), copper sulfate, and Kuproxat. After processing, tomatoes can be picked and eaten after 7-10 days.

Characteristics

The tomato variety “One Hundred Poods” was bred by Russian breeders. Suitable for different regions for growing in glass greenhouses and film shelters. In areas with a warm climate, planting in beds is possible. It should be added to the characteristics of the “One Hundred Poods” tomato that the yield is good; from 1 bush you can harvest up to 6 kg of selected tomatoes . The fruits are well stored and can be transported. Tomatoes picked green ripen quickly at room temperature.
