Description of the Pomisolka tomato variety, its characteristics and yield

Tomato growing conditions

Tomatoes of the Marissa variety require free space between the bushes, so they are planted in the ground at the rate of 5 - 6 bushes per square meter.
The best growing method is to sow the seeds in pots in early spring. The seeds of the variety are sown in warm, prepared soil (peat-sand compost) and planted to a shallow depth, watered with settled water. Then the box must be covered with film and left in a warm place. After a few days, the first shoots appear, then the film can be removed and the plants can be exposed to sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight.

After a couple of weeks, the seedlings are transplanted and planted

It is important to provide it with good lighting during the period of growing seedlings by rearranging and rotating the boxes

Plants of the Marissa variety are planted in disinfected, fertilized soil so that the stem is not covered. Good predecessors for tomatoes are cucumbers, cauliflower, zucchini, dill, carrots, parsley, which do not suffer from tomato diseases. After a week, the tomatoes are tied up and, if necessary, planted

It is especially important to do this when increased vegetative development occurs in the form of:

• dense pubescence of stems;
• poor fruit set;
• small number of tomatoes per plant;
• too long and uneven flower brushes;
• the appearance of leaves and side shoots at the top of the brush.

The plant must be watered regularly, in small portions; the ideal option is drip irrigation. During irrigation, the content of soil nutrients is greatly reduced, so they must be added periodically.

Plants of the variety are fertilized several times during the summer: when preparing the soil, then during the flowering period, and always during fruiting. The main elements consumed are phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium, microelements are also necessary, so it is better to use complex fertilizers. Don’t forget about organic matter, which is added to the soil before planting.

Harvesting begins in June and continues throughout the entire fruiting period. Cutting ripe fruits from the bunch helps the rest of the tomatoes to develop and get greater yields.

Description of the tomato variety Natalie, features of cultivation and care

The Natalie tomato was the result of selection in Altai, thanks to the climatic conditions of which the variety has unique characteristics. Today, a new plant variety is included in the register of the West Siberian region and is intended for cultivation in open ground.

The characteristics classify the variety of Siberian selection as a type of determinant plants with an average ripening period. Seeds are sold in standard paper bags, each of which is accompanied by a description and information about the characteristics of cultivation. The shoots reach a height of 100 to 110 cm and have small, dark green leaves. The bushes are characterized by an inflorescence of an intermediate type and have a stalk with an articulation.

Tomatoes can be used fresh, but reviews from gardeners indicate the excellent qualities of the product when canned. The fruits are ideal for use in whole fruit canning recipes.

Fruit characteristics

The fruits have a cylindrical shape and a beautiful appearance. The surface of the tomato is absolutely smooth, fruit defects are practically not observed. A distinctive feature is the rich, bright color of ripe tomatoes.

The average weight of one vegetable varies from 75 to 110 grams. The fruits have excellent taste characteristics and do not crack when fully ripe and when preserved.

Description of the advantages of the new tomato variety:

• good taste characteristics;
• ability for long-term storage while maintaining taste characteristics, which can last up to 20 days;
• maintaining aesthetics during transportation;
• quality of friendly maturation;
• ability to preserve taste during canning, high pickling qualities.

From one hectare, farms receive yields ranging from 180 to 360 centners of vegetables. The yield of fruits with proper presentation reaches 93%.

Features of cultivation and care

The recommended planting month is March-April. The time for sowing planting material for seedlings is determined so that 50 to 60 days pass before the planned planting in open ground. When planting in a permanent growing area, no more than 5 tomato bushes are placed per 1 m2. The variety responds well to sufficient levels of watering, fertilizing with fertilizers and complex preparations.

Sowing is carried out according to traditional agricultural technology, for which the soil is prepared in advance. Manufacturers do processing during packaging, so no additional processing is required before work.

The shoots dive when the plant reaches 1 or 2 leaves. 10 days before the date of planned planting in open ground, seedlings are subjected to a hardening procedure. The recommended time for planting is from mid-May to early June. You can plant seedlings in open ground only after the threat of frost has completely passed. Planting is carried out according to a 50 by 60 cm pattern.

During the growing period, it is recommended to feed tomato bushes with complex preparations. The plant does not require special attention; care consists of periodic watering and fertilizing; for the growth of bushes, it is recommended to loosen the soil and carry out hilling.

Reviews about this variety of tomatoes

Sashok Kostin, Ulyanovsk, 56 years old During the season, I received about 100 kg of tomatoes, which were successfully used for winter harvesting. The yield was 3 - 3.5 kg per bush. For example: two varieties of tomato grow in our garden plot: Pomisolka and Maisky. The Pomisolki tomato is about 20% larger. This allows it to be considered a more productive variety, because with the same care and the same growing conditions, the fruits of both varieties are the same size.

Diana Nikitina, Veliky Novgorod, 66 years old Vegetable garden. Garden. Floriculture ryuntyu 1. But as for whether it bends or not - here, depending on your luck 2. Ideally, if not in the south, then at least in the North-West, and for the Urals and Siberia - 100% 3. When it is no longer possible When you plant tomatoes for the first year, you should already know which varieties are better suited to get more yield 4. We had tomatoes for 150 rubles, but they were not tasty - they were sweet and watery.

Olya Andreeva, Kirov, 43 years old Vegetable garden. Country house. Floriculture my review of the tomato variety from the Nezhenka series. The Pomisolka tomato variety was bred by Ukrainian breeders. The name of the plant indicates Pomisolka - due to the small size of the fruit. Indeed, the fruits of these varieties are small, with thin skin and delicate pulp. Tomato variety Pomisolk My review of how I grow tomatoes of the Bull's Heart variety (aka Pomisolk tomato). Gives a good tomato harvest! And in general, I like these tomatoes!

Artur Gordeev, Kazan, 40 years old I love this variety, it is very tasty and has a rich orange color. Pomisolka has been growing on my plot for three years now. The variety was bred in Ukraine. I grow this variety for pleasure - I really like it. Description The height of the plant is 1.5 meters. The tomato foliage is very large and green. Its flowers are purple and large. The fruits are round, slightly flattened on the sides, weighing 100-120 grams. The color of the fruit is rich orange-red. The skin is thin and dense.

Viktor Akhmedov, Sochi, 64 years old These are cherry tomatoes, we have been growing them for three years now. They are very productive, can be planted both in a greenhouse and in open ground, the fruits grow on the bush and ripen well until mid-October. The tomatoes are tasty and aromatic, juicy, without seeds.. Very sweet.. This year we decided to grow them in open ground. I didn’t plant them because I decided to freeze them for the winter, and my husband didn’t believe that they could grow in my region. But we convinced him, and as a result they matured. The harvest is simply incredible.

Anton Ivanov, Kaliningrad, 61 years old region. (Kaliningrad region). And also My review about growing Tomato Pomisolki in Kaliningrad region. — And also how I grow seedlings and collect My review in the greenhouse about growing the Excellent Tomato Orange Miracle (Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad region Review about growing tomatoes of the Pomisolka variety, which I purchased for the greenhouse in 2015 at the Dacha store Review in the greenhouse for tomatoes of the Tomato variety Orange Miracle and Raspberry Miracle. I grew tomatoes for planting.

Zhentos Rubtsov, Perm, 56 years old We grew tomatoes of the Pomisolka variety in a bed with open soil, so they need high-quality care, and you also need to know how to properly plant vegetable seedlings. First of all, you need to pay attention to the fact that this variety of tomatoes belongs to the raceme tomatoes. The fruits are round, red in color, have a ribbed surface and juicy pulp. They were cultivated at the end of the last century, as they were the first to appear on the seed market.

Victoria Baranova, Tver, 40 years old Every year more and more people prefer to use plastic cassettes for seedlings. Thanks to their convenient and compact shape, as well as ease of use, it has become possible to significantly speed up the process of planting seeds in boxes. But it is not always possible to provide them with the required growing temperature. After all, when the temperature is too high, the roots begin to bloom, and when the temperature is too low, they begin to rot. Lack of lighting also does not contribute to rapid growth.

Lisa Fedorova, Tver, 54 years old Tomato variety Pomisol Tomato Pomisolka (Hybrid F1) Description of tomato and cultivation. Tomato hybrid F1 Pomisolka is grown in open ground, on the balcony, and in greenhouses. Seedlings are planted in mid-May at the age of 25-30 days. The distance between plants is 50 cm. After planting, regular watering is carried out 2-3 times a week. 10-12 days after planting, the plants are fed with mullein solution.

Cherry tomato Paints F1

An early hybrid of cherry tomatoes (from germination to the first harvest of fruits - about 95 days) of Russian selection. Recommended for greenhouse cultivation.

The plant is fast-growing, indeterminate, compact, and requires the formation of a bush. Fruit clusters are simple or complex with 20-25 fruits.

The hybrid is resistant to tomato mosaic virus, fusarium, cladosporiosis, and verticillium.

Productivity – 10-12 kg per 1 sq.m.

The fruits weigh about 20-25 g, round in shape, deep yellow in color without a spot at the stalk. The pulp is aromatic, medium uniform density, very sweet taste. Designed for universal use. The fruits have excellent keeping quality and transportability.

II. Indeterminate varieties (unlimited growth)

These are tomatoes that will grow until they turn blue until the owner or the onset of the cold season stops them. They have great yield potential, which is more successfully realized in high greenhouses. We place approximately three bushes on 1 square. With supports such as strong trellises, open ground is not prohibited, which will be especially welcome in the southern regions.

Tomato Scarlet candles

Good for pickling, sweet. This is a patented mid-early variety (Siberian breeders distinguished themselves!). In the state register since 2007. They are characterized by a high ability to form ovaries in any conditions. From 1 sq.m you can actually get a bucket and a half. The clusters are arranged in tiers, the weight of the fruit on the lower branches reaches 120 g, on the top ones - half as much.

Very lightweight. A mid-early Siberian variety for canning whole vegetables. The fruits are elongated, reaching (maximum in our conditions) 13-14 cm in length, weighing about 120 g, and have a beautiful crimson hue. They have few seeds, are very fleshy, strong, and easy to keep. If they are picked green, they do not spoil and ripen perfectly. The variety is very responsive to high-quality fertilizing.

The longest

A new product of Siberian selection. It begins to ripen already on the 110th (you can add a couple more) days from the sprouts appearing on the surface of the soil. Fruits have a unique length - 20 cm (specific size)! They are very elongated, with a small pear-shaped constriction in the upper part, uniformly slightly expanding downwards, with a spout.

High yield

The variety is productive and unpretentious. Tolerates slight shading. It ties well. Neither high nor low temperatures are scary. It succeeds in protected soil, but outdoor cultivation is not prohibited. Tomatoes begin to ripen in 106-113 days; at the same time, the plant successfully continues to grow and form clusters - up to 10 pieces per bush.

Each bears up to eight graceful fruits - cylindrical and pointed, in full ripeness - iridescent pink in color. The weight of each vegetable is 100-120 g. They contain a high percentage of sugars and dry matter. They do not burst when pickled, are good for drying, obtaining thick juice and, oddly enough in your opinion, for making tomato jam. With diligent care, the bush can bear up to a bucket of quality fruit.

Tomato Niagara

Weighty brushes

This mid-early vegetable variety has been on the state register since 2010. The bush is tall, but compact in width. It has a highly branched root system, responsive to increased nutrition and good water supply. A valuable feature of this Siberian variety is its multiple clusters, each of which bears up to 14 fruits weighing 85-115 g.

Meaty and sweet

This is one of the sweetest and meatiest products of Siberian breeders. It has been registered in the state register since 2007. The tomato is mid-season (116-118 days from the appearance of sprouts), with large foliage. The fruits resemble long, sharp peppers - they grow up to 15 cm. They are an elegant red color, the weight ranges from 120-185 g. The pulp of vegetables contains very little water and seeds. In the best case, there are up to a dozen fruits in one cluster. One bush gives 2-3 kg.

Tomato Koenigsberg

Excellent ovary

Included in the state register in 2005. The variety rightfully takes its place among the most productive Siberian varieties (up to 20 kg per square meter of land in a greenhouse). It sets perfectly even in the hot atmosphere of closed ground. Plants with a powerful bush with large leaves require increased nutrition and careful pinching.

The first ovary is formed after the growth of the 12th leaf, then inflorescences are formed every 3 leaves. Refers to varieties of medium ripening; in Siberian conditions, approximately half of the crop ripens; the rest of the fruits turn red quite well when ripened. Tomatoes in the lower clusters of vegetables weigh 300 g, and in those above - no less than 150 g. The shape is elongated, heart-shaped, smooth, and beautiful.

Vitamin and sweet

Ripe tomatoes have a golden-orange color and contain a record amount of carotene vitamins. The pulp is sweet and aromatic, like berries and fruits. The ripening period is average. The lower fruits are capable of filling up to a mass of 400-450 g, higher up the bush - 200-300 g. They are oval, often with a spout. The plants grow clusters through the leaves, each containing on average, as stated, up to 5 fruits. Productivity is high. The keeping quality is excellent. It is especially tasty when salted with gelatin.

Harvest hearts

Close internodes and a powerful trunk with dense foliage are like standard varieties, only the height is two meters. The Siberian breeding novelty produces half a bucket of fruit from one such “tree”. Ripening begins on the 115th day. Forms up to 6 beautiful clusters with 5-7 red tomatoes weighing 200-250 grams, shaped like strawberries.

Tomato Budenovka

Resistant to cracking

The variety is an improved version of Ox Heart, with a higher yield (about 9.4 kg per square), early ripening, good resistance to diseases (even to late blight) and cracking of the apical tissue of the fruit for a fleshy variety. Heart-shaped, ribbed tomatoes with excellent taste.

Record weight

The variety is a new product from a team of breeding scientists under the leadership of V.F. Gavrisha. Registered in the state register in 2015. Due to the unrealistically large fruits of vegetables, it is included in the “Russian Hero” series. The variety is not very fast in terms of ripening time (from 120 days), therefore it requires early planting of seedlings, especially careful pinching and decent feeding.

In Siberia and Central Russia it works well only in closed ground conditions, including a greenhouse. The average return from a bush is 3.6 (plus or minus) kg, the record is 7 kg. The tomatoes are flat-round, slightly ribbed, have an excellent smell and are very juicy, each weighing 400-600 g, not uncommon - 800 g. There are 2-3 tomatoes in one cluster of plants; if you leave only one tomato in it, it can pull more than 1 kg. Such “bogatyrs” are better suited for salads and distillation for juice.

Bowl of salad from one fruit

One of the best salad novelties, the yield is high. The plant bears 5-6 racemes. The fruits look very attractive due to their raspberry-pink color, large up to 500-800 g. The tomatoes are flat-round, ribbed, sweet. There is high resistance to cracking; The pulp density is average. A rare quality for large-fruited varieties: the fruits do not tend to quickly soften and spoil during storage.

According to the ripening period, the variety is classified as mid-early and mid-ripe. Perfect for preparing preparations: tomato paste, juice. This tomato variety is characterized by high yield. You can remove up to 5-6 kilograms of tomatoes from one bush.

Giant orange sweet

It has plasticity, rare for a large-fruited variety, and relative unpretentiousness. Delicate sweet pulp combines with excellent keeping quality. The tomatoes are round-flat (their “ribs” stand out a little), sunny orange in color. The average weight of a tomato is 0.5 kg, but in reality there are 1 kg of fruit on the bush.

Cherry tomato Strawberry F1

An early hybrid of cherry tomatoes (from emergence to the first harvest of fruits - 93-98 days) of Russian selection. Recommended for growing in open and protected ground.

The plant has an average growth rate, medium height (1-1.5 m), semi-determinate type, needs pinching and bush formation. Fruit clusters with 25-30 fruits.

The hybrid is resistant to fusarium and changes in weather conditions.

Productivity – up to 8 kg per 1 sq.m.

The fruits weigh 25-35 g, are round-heart-shaped, bright red in color, almost without a spot on the stalk. The skin is very dense, the flesh is aromatic, dense, and has a sweet taste. Designed for universal use. The fruits have excellent keeping quality and transportability.

I. Hybrids

Hybrid tomatoes are virtually guaranteed to be resistant to diseases and bad weather conditions, which is something that non-hybrid varieties suffer from. Greenhouses and greenhouses are valued for storing heat, but in them tomatoes can suffer from too high temperatures and sudden temperature changes. In recent years, world selection has been aimed at producing “heat-resistant” hybrids with a reliable guarantee of ovary production.

Hybrids are especially helpful in a greenhouse or a small garden plot where there are no real opportunities for crop rotation and diseases are prevalent. Selection successes demonstrate confident resistance to various types of infections - viral (especially the most dangerous tobacco mosaic virus), fungal, bacterial. In addition, the hybrids have uniform fruits and consistently high yields.

Tomato Incas F1

One of the best hybrids for canning whole fruits without skin. Popular early high-yielding bush hybrid. The plant is medium-sized, compact.

Tomato from the Dutch company Numens, zoned in Russia; entered into the state register in 2000. Mid-early hybrid (105 days) of meter-high vegetables, determinate. Very high resistance to fungal diseases has been recorded. The fruits are 80-100 g, dense, bright red, pepper-shaped, fleshy, uniform, tolerate sunburn well, are very easy to ripen, transported over long distances without loss of quality.

Tomato Torquay F1

Dutch hybrid from Bejo Zaden; in the Russian register since 2007. Mid-season tomato (119-123 days from germination to ripening), bush type - determinate, maximum height 100 cm. Forms abundant multiple clusters with fruits weighing 60-140 g. Dense tomatoes withstand long-term transportation, excellent in pickling and pickling matters.

Tomato Mariana F1

The tomato was created in the French branch of the Japanese company Sakata (the image of the woman Mariana is a symbol of the French Republic). The breeders of this agricultural company are often suspected of producing GMOs, but so far without real evidence. Mariana is a mid-early determinate hybrid. The fruits are similar in shape to Incas - also elongated-oval, perfectly smooth, super dense.

Tomato Bagheera F1

Hybrid from the leading French seed company Cloz. Included in the Russian seed register in 2007.

Early high-yielding hybrids are a real boon for the garden. They are cold-resistant, do not need pinching or tying up, and practically do not get sick. The ripening period is marked as medium-early; determinate bush. The fruit is round, flattened on top, ribbed, weight ranges from 80-220 g. The hybrid is resistant to soil drought and nematode, more suitable for regions located in the south. Does not suffer from fusarium and verticillium wilt.

Tomato F1 Semko 2005

The tomato is suitable for open ground and under film shelters (greenhouses). Determinate, medium-sized, compact. Resistant to soil salinity, drought, high temperatures, grows well in open ground in both southern and northern regions. Vegetables practically do not suffer from viral and fungal diseases, even late blight.

Tomato F1 Semko 2010

Included in the state register in 2010. Ultra-early ripening determinate hybrid - 85-88 days pass from the sprouting of green vegetables to the coloring of fruits. The first brush is formed immediately after the sixth leaf grows. The fruits are incredibly dense for such an early tomato, and are by no means small - 130 g. The shape is round hearts with a beautiful pointed tip.

In open ground, we usually plant thickly - 5-6 bushes per square. The best harvest from such an area is at least a bucket. The hybrid is highly resistant to bacteria, fungi and viruses. Does not crack and does not suffer from blossom end rot. Successfully withstands high temperatures and dry soil.

The newest indeterminate hybrid (on the register since 2015) - tested by us, everything is fine - created taking into account all possible greenhouse disasters. Firstly, it sets well even in the heat, as well as during temperature changes. Secondly, it is tolerant of problematic soil substrates. Thirdly, it shows high resistance to viral, fungal and bacterial infections.

The yield of vegetables varies between 20-30 kg/1 square meter. Mid-early hybrid (100 days from green shoots). The clusters begin to form after 7-9 leaves, each bears 5-6 tomatoes in the shape of rounded hearts, smooth, beautiful, attractive orange color. The weight of the “heart” is 160-190 g. The pulp contains a high percentage of dry matter, sugars, and carotenoids.

Bushes of unlimited growth, with dense foliage. Mandatory shaping is required, including a garter. Hybrid of medium early or medium ripening period (112-118 days). Clusters of 6-8 tomatoes weighing 130-150 g. The fruits are plum-shaped, slightly tapering downwards. They are deep red in color, thick-skinned, with a high percentage of dry matter.

Tomato Empire F1

Indeterminate hybrid of a new generation, in the state register since 2011. Medium-early (100 days - 2 days - from germination). The plant is tall, much taller than other types of tomatoes. Therefore, the tomato requires gartering and pinching. Tomatoes are oval-shaped with a spout, weight ranges from 80 to 140 g. On average, 9 kg are obtained per bush. The color of the fruit is red-orange. The skin and pulp are dense. Can be stored for 6-7 weeks. In greenhouses people do not suffer from viral and fungal infections.

On the register since 2015. The bushes are semi-determinate, beautiful, a meter and a half high. Suitable for any soil - open or closed. Plants require pinching. Multiple clusters bear up to 30 fruits with a sweet taste and a perfect “strawberry” shape. The weight is typical for classic cherry tomatoes - 25 g. Thanks to the strong skin, the fruits can be stored for a long time. Early hybrid: ripe fruits appear 91-93 days after the sprouts emerge. The plant is resistant to Fusarium wilt.

Tomato F1 Kaspar

The bush is short, usually up to the first cluster, 60 cm. The fruits of the plants are cylindrical with a spout, the length varies around 11 cm, and the weight is 95-115 g. They are very dense, without juice. It is convenient to pickle them assorted with cucumbers of a similar size.

The average ripening period is 115 days. The hybrid is intended for open ground, or is planted under low shelters; We plant three to four vegetable bushes per square.

Tomato Aunt Valya F1

Valya f1 tomatoes are early-ripening, tall hybrids with average yield. The bushes easily and quickly reach a height of 200 cm. In the register since 2015. Productivity is within 20 kg per square meter. On average, one bush produces 7 kg of tasty and beautiful tomatoes. Tomatoes ripen simultaneously, reaching 200-250 g in weight.

The fruits have a regular round, slightly oblong shape. The scope of use of tomatoes is very wide. Salads are prepared from the first fruits. As the volume of the harvest increases, the fruits are used for winter harvesting, as well as juices, ketchups, pastes, sauces and lecho. Tomatoes retain commercial quality for a long time and tolerate transportation and long-term storage well.

Main types of tomatoes

Depending on their growth, tomatoes are divided into several types:

• standard,
• indeterminate,
• semi-determinate,
• determinant.

Let's take a closer look at each variety.

Standard

These are the shortest tomatoes, distinguished by their compact bush size and thick stem. Standard varieties are not the most productive varieties; their main advantage is their early ripening.

The main advantages of the type include:

• resistance to adverse factors - drought, frost;
• thick stem, thanks to which the plant does well without tying;
• tight fit due to compact size;
• shallow roots, allowing active absorption of water and additional nutrients;
• good transportability of fruits.

Standard crops are grown mainly in greenhouses and greenhouses; it is advisable to plant them in open ground only in the southern regions.

Standard varieties include the following varieties:

1. Cameo is an early-ripening variety with smooth fruits, juicy pulp and a pleasant aroma.
2. Buyan - the average weight of cylindrical fruits is 90 g. Excellent for preservation, resistant to the vagaries of weather, tobacco mosaic.
3. Yamal is characterized by increased resistance to diseases and pests. With proper care, you get a good harvest of dense, rounded fruits weighing 70-100 g.

Indeterminate

The stem of indeterminate tomatoes reaches 2-4 m in height, so varieties must be tied up. To limit the plant's growth, pinch the top of the stem. This variety is characterized by long-term fruiting; in heated greenhouses, the plant bears fruit throughout the year.

Advantages:

• high yield - 14-17 kg/m²;
• stable immunity to fungal diseases and the vagaries of nature.

The disadvantages include the mandatory strict adherence to the rules of agricultural technology, especially when forming a plant bush.

Among the many indeterminate crops there are:

1. Angel F1 is a new domestic hybrid without restrictions on the region of cultivation, early ripening, for salad purposes. It is characterized by high productivity, good immunity to fusarium and verticillium.
2. Belfast F1 is a popular early-ripening hybrid, immune to cladosporiosis, fusarium, tobacco mosaic, and tolerates transportation well. The fruits weigh an average of 210 g, do not crack, and the yield is high - up to 26 kg/m².

Tomato Angel F1

Other indeterminate varieties and hybrids are Walford's Miracle, Crushed Heart, Tyler f1, Lion's Heart, Star of Siberia.

Semi-determinant

Semi-determinate plants stop growing at about 10-12 inflorescences, are characterized by high productivity, do not require complex care, and are suitable for greenhouses and open ground.

A distinctive feature of the species is short internodes.

Among the many semi-determinate varieties are:

1. Magnus is an early variety with tasty fruits and is considered ideal for canning.
2. Silhouette is a greenhouse hybrid; its small fruits are perfectly stored and transported.
3. Red Arrow is one of the most unpretentious varieties, suitable for canning and summer salads, and is characterized by high yield.
4. Zinulya is a mid-season variety with large and sweet fruits.

Tomato Magnus

Determinant

Determinate tomatoes are varieties that stop growing when a cluster of flowers appears at the top. The height does not exceed 80 cm. They are grown everywhere: in the southern regions - in open ground, in other parts of Russia - in hotbeds and greenhouses.

Such plants bear fruit once per season for 1-3 weeks.

The main advantages of determinate tomatoes:

• precocity;
• high productivity;
• friendly return;
• low maintenance requirements;
• possibility of cultivation even in northern regions;
• suitability for canning.

The disadvantages are quite controversial - some vegetable growers consider determinate tomatoes less tasty.

The best varieties of determinate tomatoes:

1. Alsou is a mid-early, large-fruited variety. Grown in open and closed ground, yield up to 9 kg/m². Used fresh and in salads.
2. Gina TST is a mid-season variety that does not require pinching for film greenhouses and open ground. Resistant to cracking and disease, suitable for canning and fresh consumption.
3. Lyubasha F1 is an ultra-early hybrid of universal use, resistant to cracking and disease, suitable for growing in open and closed ground. It has a high yield - up to 20 kg/m².

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.

The ripening time, color and shape of tomatoes depends on the variety.

Usually early-ripening vegetables with not large fruits and not a large harvest, but with a quick, friendly yield of ripe tomatoes. Mid-season ones also have medium sizes. Late ones are usually difficult to care for, but it is among them that you can find champions in weight, but there are not many such beauties on the bush.

By growing region

Every year, breeders create new species with high quality indicators. In stores you can buy specialized varieties of tomatoes designed for growing in certain climatic conditions. Classification by regions of Russia:

• for the Moscow region: Champion, Sweet Bunch, Honey, Pink Elephant, Fireworks, Bull's forehead;
• for the southern regions: Torch, Novice, Titan, Winner, Bison, Ermak, Gift, Mikado;
• for the middle zone: Bull's Heart, Black Prince, Uzbek (Yusupov), Moskvichka, Snowdrop, Big Brother, Spasskaya Tower;
• for Siberia: Siberian heavyweight, Ultra early ripening, Sanka, Abakan pink;
• for the Urals: Coin, Bull's Heart, Button, Countryman, Yellow Buyan, Bullfinch, Demidov;
• for the far north: Snowy Tale, Ballerina, Ladyfingers, Berdsky Large, Countryman, Oak, Gina.

An unpredictable, cold or, conversely, excessively warm climate is not a reason to refuse to grow tomatoes in open ground. Thanks to selection, varieties have been developed that grow and develop well in any terrain.

According to disease resistance

To obtain a rich harvest, you need to choose tomato varieties not only with the appropriate characteristics. It is necessary that this criterion be supplemented by such an indicator as disease resistance.

Late blight, root rot, tobacco mosaic, cladosporiosis are diseases that most often affect plantings of heat-loving crops.

A catalog of tomatoes that can withstand the onslaught of various diseases:

• Blitz;
• Koenigsberg;
• Geisha;
• Betta,
• Anyuta;
• Bohemia;
• Chio-chio-san;
• Tatiana;
• Puzata hut;
• Lights of Moscow;
• Yablonka Russia;
• Crimson giant.

Unfortunately, there are no varieties that are 100% resistant to infections. But there are hybrids that produce a harvest until the active phase of many fungal diseases and infections begins.

Varieties for greenhouse cultivation

Having a good greenhouse at your disposal, you can get fresh tomatoes to your table all year round. Greenhouse varieties are suitable for preparing salads or canning. Excellent salad tomatoes can be obtained from the following varieties:

• Geisha;
• Fairy gift;
• Andromeda;
• Eagle beak;
• Pink Angel;
• Pink Pearl;
• Fatalist;
• Scarlet caravel;
• Amana orange

Sowing seeds for seedlings begins 2 months before planting in the ground. As a rule, they are transplanted into a greenhouse 2 weeks earlier than into open beds. The main thing is to wait until the soil warms up to 15°C, otherwise the growth of young bushes will slow down.

Seed preparation

Since the crop is a hybrid, you won’t be able to prepare the seeds yourself - hybrids do not retain the parental genes in the next generation. Therefore, seed material will have to be purchased each time.

Purchased grains do not need processing; the manufacturer took care of everything himself. It is only necessary to assess the external condition of the planting material. To do this, lay it out on the table and carefully inspect it for visible defects: the grains should be light, without visible damage. Then check for emptiness by immersing it in a saline solution for 10 minutes.

Those seeds that float to the surface are empty inside, which means they are not suitable for planting. The remaining ones are washed with running water and dried.

To improve germination, planting material is treated with a growth stimulator and germinated on damp gauze for 2-3 days at a temperature of 25°C until sprouts appear. As the gauze dries, moisten it with warm water.

Container and soil

A nutritious soil mixture is prepared from garden soil, humus, peat and river sand in equal proportions. After thoroughly mixing all the components, add a little wood ash to the resulting mixture.

The prepared soil is disinfected to destroy pathogenic flora by pouring a hot solution of pink potassium permanganate. The soil is also disinfected in the oven for 15 minutes at 60°C.

After disinfection, the soil is poured halfway into the planting containers. Later, as the bushes grow, the remaining soil is poured into containers, so that the plants receive the necessary nutrients.

Plant in a common wooden box or in an individual container, at the bottom of which drainage holes are made so that excess moisture drains into them. Seedlings in individual containers do not need picking, so sowing in individual containers significantly simplifies the care of seedlings.

Sowing

The seeds are sown to a depth of 1.5 cm with a distance of 2 cm from each other, sprinkled with peat on top, slightly moistened with warm, settled water using a spray bottle and covered with film to create a greenhouse effect.

Then the containers are left in a warm room at a temperature of 25-26°C. At lower temperatures, the seeds will germinate later.

Seedling care

At the first shoots, the containers are moved to a well-lit place, on the windowsill, and the film is removed. Daylight hours for seedlings should be at least 12 hours. If necessary, add phytolamps.

Seedlings are watered with warm, settled water every week. After 5 true leaves appear, watering is increased to 2 times a week. After watering, the soil is loosened superficially, which helps the plants receive oxygen in the required quantity.

When 2 true leaves appear, the seedlings are picked and placed in separate containers. When picking, weak shoots are not replanted, as they will not be able to take root in open ground.

2-2.5 weeks before planting in the ground, the seedlings begin to harden, taking them outside for no more than 40 minutes. Gradually, the time spent in the open air is increased to 11-12 hours, while at the same time reducing the night temperature to 14°C.

Cross-section of Solerosso tomatoes

Origin of the Solerosso tomato

Homeland - Holland. The variety was created by scientists from the Nunems breeding company. The company specializes in the production of new varieties of plants, their sale and cultivation. The company's branches are open in many countries where vegetable growing is developed.

The Nunems company occupies one of the leading positions among all breeding companies in the world, and to be more precise, the company is among the top five. A branch has also been opened on the territory of the Russian Federation, and a website in Russian has been launched. The Solerosso hybrid has undergone a series of tests in Russia, and is recorded in the state register as a variety that can be grown in all regions of the country.

Characteristics of the variety

Most often, the variety is grown for industrial purposes, since the main features of the hybrid are its compact appearance and the ability to place plants close to each other. Solerosso is also grown in small gardens, the fruits are eaten fresh, and various preserves are also prepared from them. During heat treatment, tomatoes do not lose their shape and taste.

Hybrid Solerosso is distinguished by its early ripening period. The bush is compact, the branches are slightly spreading. Approximately 6 fruits are formed on one brush, located close to each other. It grows to a certain size (critical point) and stops growing.

Description of fruits

The fruits of the Solerosso tomato are small in size and flat-round in shape. You can see slight ribbing near the stalk. The pulp is juicy, medium density. The skin is not thick, but reliable, thanks to it the tomatoes do not crack and tolerate transportation well. The taste is sweet.

Ripening time and yield

The tomato boasts the formation of abundant ovaries; therefore, there are almost no empty flowers. The peduncles are large, during flowering, the foliage is practically invisible, everything is strewn with flowers.

The variety is early, so 3 months after planting the seedlings, the fruits can already be harvested. One of the significant advantages is wave-like ripening, that is, you can collect fruits throughout the entire season. Tomatoes can be stored for more than a month, have a presentable appearance and can withstand transportation well.

Productivity is high - from 1 sq. m you can get about 8-10 kg of fruit. The weight of one is 100 g.

For features of ripening tomatoes of the Solerosso F1 variety in open ground, see the video below:

For which regions is the variety suitable?

The plant is best grown in warm or temperate climates. But the bush can adapt to low temperatures and weather changes, so it can also be grown in the northern regions, the only condition is planting it in a greenhouse or greenhouse.

Resistance to diseases and pests

The variety is not afraid of various wilting, bacterial and viral diseases. The only threat is represented by fungal diseases, for example, late blight. When growing plants without shelter, there is a risk of slugs appearing on the bushes, attack by mole crickets and aphids.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

The Solerosso tomato variety, like other crops, has its pros and cons; they must be taken into account when growing the plant.

Advantages of the variety:

• compact bush;
• it is possible to place plants close to each other;
• unpretentiousness to conditions;
• getting used to any climate and weather;
• high productivity;
• tasty and juicy fruits;
• strong immunity.

Disadvantages of the variety:

• with illiterate care, productivity decreases;
• supports are required;
• cannot be grown in the northern regions on open soil.

Planting tomatoes

Since the variety is a hybrid, it is not recommended to grow it directly from seeds at home. In order for the Solerosso harvest to be abundant and tasty, it is better to purchase ready-made seedlings in special stores, where the plants are necessarily treated against pests and diseases.

Growing seedlings

When growing seedlings yourself, you need to take care of the containers and soil in advance. Any pots can be used as containers. Many people choose a large wooden box with holes in the bottom. First, seeds are sown in it, and then the grown sprouts are transplanted into separate cups.

You can immediately use peat pots. Place humus in them. The best time to sow seeds is the first week of March. First, the containers are treated with a growth stimulator, then soil is poured.

Seeds must be processed before planting. First of all, select the best specimens and place them in a saline solution (10 g of salt per 250 ml of water). The good ones will stay down and the bad ones will rise to the surface. Rinse high-quality grains under running water and place for a quarter of an hour in a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

After treatment, their growth can be improved and placed on damp gauze for germination. Make sure the grains do not dry out. Then squeeze out the remaining water from the gauze and place in the refrigerator for 12 hours. After the specified time, remove the seeds - put them in a warm place, repeat the process three times. The seeds are ready for planting.

Make small holes in the soil and place the seeds in them; move the containers to a place with a temperature of about +25 degrees Celsius. As soon as the sprouts begin to hatch, move them closer to sunlight; if you do not have such a place, then provide artificial lighting (at least 13 hours a day). You can use lamps for seedlings.

Water the sprouts only with warm water and use a spray bottle. More information about how to germinate tomato seeds for seedlings is described here.

You can buy a substrate for pots in a store; if this is not possible, then mix in equal proportions: peat, humus and river sand. Add a little wood ash to the finished mixture.

If you use separate pots for each plant, then picking is not necessary. If not, then the plants are planted separately from each other after the appearance of 2 leaves. Carry a lump of earth along with the sprout so that the root system is not injured.

Transplanting seedlings into a greenhouse

If you plant in open soil, then harden the sprouts, that is, take them out into the fresh air every day. If you are planting in a greenhouse, you do not need to do this.

Soil preparation

The land for planting has been prepared since the fall. The top layer is replaced, since spores of various diseases can live in it.

Tomatoes are not grown in one place for more than 2 years in a row.

The soil for growing is created from the following parts: turf soil, peat, humus and river sand. The crop grows well on light nutrient soils. Breathability is a must.

Transplantation into open ground

The site is selected based on the climate and humidity of the land. Move tomatoes outdoors in cloudy weather. 14 days before transplanting, be sure to treat the sprouts with boric acid. On the day of planting, make 0.12 m depressions in the soil. Remove the seedlings from the pots and place them in the soil. Water after planting.

In open ground, to prevent tomatoes from dying, the plants are covered with fabric greenhouses for the first 14 days. In the morning and afternoon, the plants are left in direct rays, and covered in the evening.

Rules for hardening seedlings before planting in open soil:

• 2 weeks after transplanting, take the plants to the balcony;
• keep them there at a temperature of +16 degrees Celsius for 2 hours every day;
• gradually increase the time;
• After this procedure, the plants will gain strong immunity.

The predecessors of tomatoes in the selected area should be cucumbers, melons and onions.

Planting seedlings in open ground is carried out only when the ground is fully warmed up. Tomatoes are planted in depressions at a distance of 0.4 meters from each other; a gap of 0.5 m is maintained between the rows. After transferring the sprouts, be sure to water them with settled water.

Features of cultivation and care

Care consists of regular application of fertilizers and water. Plants of this variety do not require pinching. To prevent the fruits from falling to the surface of the ground, they should be tied up.

Watering

With regular watering, the Solerosso tomato produces a large harvest. For tomatoes, soil moisture should be 90%. If there is little water, the tops dry out, prolonged heat leads to the destruction of inflorescences and ovaries. But don’t get carried away and overwater the bushes; with a large amount of water, they quickly pick up fungal diseases.

1 plant needs 3-5 liters of water.

The tomatoes are watered for the first time immediately after transplanting into the soil, then the procedure is carried out once a week. Plants need a lot of water during flowering. Water in the morning or evening; after watering, be sure to loosen the soil to allow the root system to fully absorb not only moisture, but also air.

Top dressing

With high-quality and constant fertilizers, the plant produces a stable harvest. Mineral products and folk recipes are used as fertilizers. The main microelements are potassium and phosphorus. Phosphorus accelerates metabolism in plants and ensures normal development of fruits. Add in the form of superphosphate (40 g of product per 10 liters of water).

Potassium is responsible for the taste and is added as potassium sulfate (30 g per 10 liters of water). Both are root feedings. During the flowering of the Solerosso hybrid, a weak solution of boric acid is used (1 g per 10 liters of water).

As for traditional methods, the best results are achieved by fertilizing tomatoes with wood ash; you can simply add it to the ground or water it with an infusion based on it.

Protection from diseases and pests

Many gardeners claim that Solerosso tomatoes have strong immunity, so there is no need to be particularly afraid of diseases. But in order to avoid even the slightest risk of illness, it is necessary to follow a number of preventive measures:

1. Water the plants in a timely manner.
2. Apply sufficient fertilizer.
3. Ventilate the greenhouse to avoid high humidity.

In open soil, tomatoes are attacked by aphids, mole crickets and thrips; use special means to get rid of them. For example, laundry soap and tobacco work well against aphids, and ammonia helps against slugs.

Harvesting

You can tell when the fruit is ripe by its appearance. Tomatoes acquire a rich red tint and uniform color. They do not have various spots of a different color. Solerosso hybrid tomatoes ripen in batches, so they need to be removed from the plants approximately once every 4 days.

Reviews from gardeners

Solerosso hybrids are suitable for cultivation for both personal and industrial purposes. They are distinguished by early ripening, excellent taste and excellent yield. Growing does not require much attention, the main thing is to water and fertilize on time.

Diseases and pests

Cherry tomatoes can also be damaged by pests and various diseases. In fact, there are so many diseases to which this culture is susceptible that it is not easy to list them all. There are several varieties of rot alone:

• crown rot;
• gray rot of fruits;
• brown rot;
• root rot;
• stem rot;
• southern sclerotial rot;
• dry rot;
• wet rot.

In addition, there are many bacterial infections of tomatoes that damage any part of the plant, leading to its death. Tomatoes can also suffer from powdery mildew, anthracnose, septoria blight, cercospora blight, etc. If we add to this an impressive list of pests - from mole crickets to aphids - then we can confidently say that growing tomatoes is an activity for patient gardeners.

One of the most common diseases of tomatoes is late blight. A disease known to almost everyone who grew tomatoes. It is fungal in nature, spreads very quickly, destroying the entire plant. Appears as brown spots on branches, leaves and fruits. This disease must first of all be prevented, for which purpose regularly treat tomatoes with special preparations. You can alternate between chemical and folk remedies, of which there are also plenty, given the ubiquity of this scourge.

However, many problems can be avoided if you treat not only the seeds, but also the soil before planting. It is recommended to spray the tomatoes themselves with various compounds against diseases and pests about once a week. After harvesting, all remaining stems and leaves must be burned, since pathogens can easily overwinter on them, which means that next year they will be able to return to new beds.

Seedling

After installation for germination, monitor the condition of the soil and irrigate it as needed. After the second pair of leaves appears, the seedlings can be planted. In order for plants to more easily withstand the stress of transplantation, they need to be sprayed with Zircon, diluted according to the recipe on the package. You can add a couple of crystals of citric acid to the water, which will prevent the destruction of the drug in an alkaline environment.

The seedlings are kept in containers for about 2 months, during which they need to be fertilized three times. For fertilizers, chemical preparations or organic extracts are used. Organic matter is prepared as follows: take 1:1 water and organic matter (manure, bird droppings), and leave for two weeks to ferment. The finished composition is diluted 1:10 with water and watered under the root.

The official description states that after two months, the seedlings, which are intended for planting in the ground, are hardened within a week. Every day the containers are exposed to the sun, first for half an hour, and then more and more. Black Cherry tomatoes and other Cherry Cherries, if they are planted in greenhouses, then they do not need to be hardened.

Planting and care

Tomatoes are resistant to powdery mildew.
Large and healthy Cherry tomato seedlings are planted in rows when the threat of frost has passed. In this case, the distance between rows should be at least 40 cm, and in a row between plants up to 25 cm for Winter Cherry. And for other varieties, the distances should be: about 40cm in a row, and 60cm between rows.

Holes are filled according to size, into which you can add rotted mullein, several years old, or bird droppings. The description of the care requirements includes the following rules: water each hole with warm water and, if these are indeterminate species, then place supports and tie the plants to them, cutting off all the stepsons and pinching the growth point at the required level. For determinate plants, staking is not required, and they do not produce stepsons.

Aftercare for all tomatoes is similar.

1. Timely watering, just like tomatoes, they are a moisture-loving plant.
2. Weeding and constant loosening of the soil as a means of accessing air to the root system.
3. Plant nutrition.
4. Fighting viruses and diseases.

Cherry Cherry tomatoes are practically not affected by diseases and are resistant to powdery mildew. Before late blight appears on the beds, they manage to produce the harvest. In greenhouses, to prevent the development of diseases, boric acid solutions can be used, which also destroy aphids and repel other small insects.

Features of cultivation

Tomatoes of this hybrid will produce a large harvest of high-quality fruits only if all points of the technology are followed, including the following work:

• proper preparation of the substrate for seedlings and the area for planting;
• preparing seeds for sowing;
• sowing seeds;
• timely and correct planting of seedlings;
• high-quality care for planted tomatoes.

Preparation of substrate for growing seedlings

The soil for seedlings should be prepared in the fall. The following are taken as components:

• turf land;
• compost or humus;
• river sand.

The first 2 components are taken in equal parts and 5-10% sand is added to this mass.

To disinfect small volumes of the substrate, it is disinfected:

• roasting in the oven;
• freezing outside.

Ready-made soil mixture can be purchased at a specialty store.

Sowing seeds

1. The day before sowing the seeds, fill the seedling boxes with substrate and moisten it.
2. Tomato seeds that have gone through the preparation stages - soaking, hardening - are sown in boxes before March 15.
3. Seed grooves are made in the boxes with a depth of 8 mm, tomato seeds are laid out on their bottom at intervals of 1-2 cm. The distance between the grooves is 2 cm. The seeds are sprinkled with a small layer of soil and compacted with the palms.
4. Seedling boxes covered with film are kept until germination at a temperature of +25 degrees.
5. With the emergence of starting shoots, the film is removed, the boxes are transferred to a bright room with a temperature of +12 degrees for a week. Under such conditions, the seedlings will not stretch.
6. After a week, the temperature is raised to 20-22 degrees Celsius.
7. When the seedlings are 12 days old, they are planted into pots or cups, giving the plants more living space.

Subsequent care of seedlings includes:

• watering;
• temperature control;
• feeding;
• hardening - carried out a week before planting.

In May, 60-day-old plants are planted in garden beds.

Transplanting

For planting, 60-day-old seedlings with 5-6 true leaves, a healthy appearance, and a strong stem are used. Planting is carried out on a pre-prepared area, in planting holes located according to a 40 by 50 cm pattern.

Immediately after planting, the tomatoes are watered generously. After 3-4 days, the established seedlings are attached to the supports.

Proper tomato care

Activities for caring for tomatoes of this hybrid in the garden include:

• weekly abundant watering;
• three times feeding per season;
• monthly weeding of the beds, loosening the soil after each watering;
• tying grown seedlings to supports;
• removal of stepsons, yellowing and shading leaves;
• pest and disease control.

How to care for tomato bushes in a greenhouse

In greenhouses, tomatoes have more comfortable conditions, so the fruit yield is higher. But there, tomatoes often suffer from excessive air humidity, which causes the development of harmful fungal microflora. Therefore, in protected soil, you can water tomatoes only at the root.

Several techniques are used to reduce the relative humidity in the greenhouse:

• use of drip irrigation;
• mulching the soil with sawdust and grass;
• opening the windows to ventilate the room;
• control of the density of tomato bushes.

Pests and diseases

The hybrid Spasskaya Tower requires preventive protection against fungal infection. In wet years it can be affected by late blight. To prevent the spread of the disease, prophylactic treatment with phytosporin or any other antifungal drug is recommended.

If you adhere to the requirements of crop rotation and liming of acidic soils, a massive invasion of harmful insects does not occur. Sometimes slugs crawl into the greenhouse; at the beginning of spring, Colorado potato beetles can eat tomato leaves. Single pests can be collected by hand and destroyed.

Agricultural technology of tomato variety Homemade pickle

The variety is recommended for cultivation in open ground; the seedling method is used. Ready seedlings are planted on beds at the age of 60 days.

Preparing seeds for sowing

Tomato seeds require mandatory pre-sowing treatment. Such procedures improve crop germination, help increase plant immunity to diseases and pests, and, consequently, increase productivity.

Seed preparation activities:

• disinfection (use potassium permanganate, soak in an aqueous solution for no more than 20 minutes);
• soaking in a growth stimulator or a water infusion of wood ash;
• germination in damp tissue.

Some gardeners additionally bubble tomato seeds and harden them at a temperature of minus 1ºC. Everyone decides for themselves whether to carry out the entire range of procedures or limit themselves to only disinfection, seed stimulation and germination.

Before sowing, prepare the soil, as well as containers for future seedlings. Boxes and containers, peat pots, and cups are suitable. Typically, tomatoes are first sown in common containers and then picked.

Read also: Let the hand of the giver not let the gospel fail

Purchased soil is suitable as a seedling soil mixture, or you can make such a mixture yourself. Compound:

• leaf soil (can be replaced with turf);
• peat;
• calcined river sand.

Proportions: 2:2:1. As a fertilizer, ash (a couple of tablespoons) and superphosphate (a teaspoon per bucket) are added to the mixture after calcination.

Tomatoes of this variety are usually sown in March, calculating the days according to the lunar calendar and the time of planting seedlings in open ground. In most regions this is the end of May or even the beginning of June. When making calculations, do not forget to take into account the seed germination time (about 5-6 days).

Sowing seeds and caring for seedlings

Sow the seeds in the furrows, lightly sprinkle with soil and cover with glass on top. The boxes are placed in a warm place, the temperature should be in the range of +25ºC…+26ºC.

When the very first sprouts appear, the containers are exposed to light and the glass is removed. The temperature should be reduced to approximately +18ºC and the seedlings should be kept in this mode for about 5-6 days. Reducing the temperature is an important technique that prevents the seedlings from being pulled out.

After this, the temperature is increased to temperatures comfortable for tomatoes +23ºC...+25ºC - during the day, +18ºC...+20ºC.

In the initial period, it is advisable to provide additional lighting for the seedlings and water carefully, without eroding the soil or exposing the roots. When tomatoes have 2-3 true carved leaves, you will need to pick them. After this, the plants are shaded from the sun for two days, then grown as usual.

Before planting in open ground, tomatoes are fed twice (you can use complex fertilizer) and watered as the soil dries.

Planting in open ground

Transplanting tomatoes into a garden bed must be preceded by mandatory hardening of the seedlings. This is done so that the plants quickly adapt to the new place and avoid stress.

Approximately 10-14 days before transplantation, tomatoes begin to adapt to new conditions. First, they are taken out onto the loggia or veranda for about 15 minutes. Windows and vents must be open. Gradually, the time spent in the fresh air is increased, leaving the plants for several hours.

It is recommended to plant tomatoes on ridges only when the danger of returning frost has passed.

Hardened seedlings of the Homemade pickle variety take root quickly and tolerate slight drops in temperature without harm. But it is still recommended to cover the tomatoes in the beds with non-woven material at first.

The beds should be prepared in the fall, and in the spring - light digging and fertilization. Plant tomatoes in holes, no more than 4-5 plants per square meter.

It is recommended not to water the tomatoes for about 10 days (depending on the weather) so that the root system of the plants begins to grow. Many gardeners immediately after planting mulch the soil around the plants with straw and hay. This avoids the appearance of weeds and protects the soil from excess moisture and drought.

Tretyakov tomato. Features of the hybrid and its characteristics

It is generally accepted that the seeds of the Ural selection are distinguished by their resistance to weather changes, diseases and other surprises that occur during the growing season. Gardeners trust Ural vegetable growers and try to buy seeds from this region. Tomato "Tretyakovsky F1" is a fairly new hybrid belonging to a new generation. What does it mean? It is distinguished by its endurance to sudden temperature changes, resistance to diseases, and pest attacks.

Despite the fact that it is impossible to collect seeds from this type of tomato, there is an opinion that this is not at all necessary. The productivity of tomato amazes even experienced gardeners, and its ability to adapt to weather surprises is the envy of any vegetable.

Those who tried to collect seeds and grow bushes from them the next year were unpleasantly surprised that there were very few fruits on the plant and they were all quite varied. You shouldn’t play with nature, and it’s time to understand that hybrid seeds do not retain their parental characteristics and qualities, so you shouldn’t waste time on them.

But in the first generation beautiful fruits are born, juicy, bright, rich in taste and aroma. Many will object and say that hybrids do not give that tomato aroma as varieties, but “Tretyakovsky F1 is a pleasant exception. In addition, these tomatoes can be grown both in greenhouse conditions and in beds in open areas.

The Tretyakovsky F1 tomato was bred quite a long time ago, back in the last century, namely in 1999, which means that we can say that it is a rather young hybrid, which has not yet turned twenty years old. Despite this, he became famous among a huge number of amateur gardeners for his incredible productivity. A record was set - almost six kilograms of high-quality fruits were collected from one bush.

Every summer resident knows that tomatoes must be grown through seedlings; this method allows you to collect fresh fruits at the beginning of summer, of course, provided that the variety is early ripening.

The Tretyakovsky F1 hybrid has the following characteristics:

• it is mid-season, fruit ripening occurs around the beginning of July;
• compact bushes and not too thick foliage allow the fruits to receive maximum light and heat;
• the ovaries are of the carpal type, in each brush an average of 8-9 medium-sized fruits are formed, the weight of one tomato is from 100 to 130 g;
• the tomato is very tall, if you do not pinch the stems, they can grow up to 6-8 meters;
• if you pinch the stem in time, the bush will begin to grow in width, so you should provide enough space for the plant to develop normally;
• fruits at technical ripeness have a crimson color, very rich and beautiful;
• the pulp of tomatoes is juicy and sugary, and sparkles when broken;
• taste and product quality are rated “excellent”.

Tomato Soldatovo. Description

Despite the large number of exotic shapes and colors of tomatoes, the Soldatovo tomato is especially popular in the CIS countries. This variety is valued for its neat shape, firm and fleshy structure. It is also interesting because it can be grown both in the garden and in the greenhouse. That is, it turns out that it can be grown on an industrial scale. We will tell you further how to harvest a good harvest of these tomatoes.

What does a Soldatovo tomato look like?

It has a classic color - red. When grown in greenhouse conditions it may have a pink tint. It is especially valued for its solid structure and convenient elongated cubic shape. It is convenient to cut and transport. The average weight of one tomato is 250-300 grams, and its size does not exceed 10 cm. The height of the plant rarely exceeds 1.8-2 meters in height. Therefore, for a good harvest, we recommend tying it to a support.

What harvest can be harvested in the future?

With the right agricultural technology and careful preparation, you can harvest up to 5 kg of tomatoes from 1 bush. Considering that the ripening period from the moment of planting in the ground is 2 months, at least 4 kg of tomatoes can be harvested from one bush. The average growth on one branch is up to 4 units of tomatoes. However, such a result is possible under optimal conditions and timely stepsoning. Based on our experience, it is optimal to use no more than 2 branches for this variety.

To prevent diseases from destroying the crop, we recommend spraying the plant with phytosporin or trichodermine 1-2 times during growth. This will give the necessary “protection” to the stem and subsequently protect the entire harvest.

The main advantages of the Soldatovo tomato

The main advantages of this variety include:

• interesting and comfortable shape of the fetus;
• pleasant sugar taste;
• a bountiful harvest;
• resistance to bad weather conditions, as well as late blight.

Moreover, this also includes the possibility of planting a bush in the garden. It is believed that this tomato variety does not do well outdoors.

But, as our practice and the experience of customers show, these tomatoes have proven themselves to be excellent when planted in the garden or field in the summer.

In order for the harvest to be as rich as possible, it is recommended that when transplanting the plant into the ground, add humus or phosphate fertilizers to the hole in advance. They are absolutely safe for the plant, and the fruit itself will not contain any chemical additives.

The main difficulties and requirements for agricultural cultivation technology

As with any plant, the Soldatovo tomato variety is demanding in terms of agricultural technology. First of all, this involves planting a bush. And if the requirements for germination of seeds (seedlings) are standard (planted 60-65 days before transplanting into the ground), then during the “relocation” to the greenhouse, you need to follow the technology.

The most popular varieties of ampel tomatoes

Despite the low availability of ampel seeds, popular varieties can already be found among plant growers. About them in order below.

Tomato yellow Tom

We are talking about a highly decorative representative of the nightshade family. Their growth is limited, so the hanging tomatoes of the Tom Yellow variety are considered determinate. The fruits are slightly larger than cherry tomatoes; there are a lot of flowers in the inflorescence, which means there are also fruits. Sometimes the variety is called Tom Tumbling (tumbling).

Yellow Tom Fruits

Tomatoes ripen already in June, that is, the variety is early ripening. They do not need shaping or pinching. But the seed for seedlings should be planted a month before planting the plant in a permanent place. An advantageous property is that Yellow Tom can grow both as an ampel in a pot and as an ordinary single bush. But in this case it is better to have support.

Tomato Tiger d11

This variety of ampelous tomatoes received its name due to its unusual color. It is striped: the red stripe gives way to orange or yellow in various variations. Therefore, it looks like the color of a tiger’s skin. The pulp at the break also has some mottling, striping, and heterogeneity in color.

The tiger variety of ampels amazes with its external beauty

Note! Planting the Tiger d11 variety is no different from other tomato varieties. Tomatoes also ripen early, which is typical for other ampels

The shoots are low and determinate. The height hardly reaches 20 cm. A lot of brushes are formed.

The shape of tiger fruits is round or semi-oval. The pulp is juicy. The skin is quite hard and not prone to cracking.

Tomato yellow miracle

Like other representatives of ampels, this is a determinate tomato. The height does not exceed half a meter. If you grow it as a vine, it is better to tie it to a support, otherwise the trunk may break under its own weight.

No pinching or pinching is required. The stem is branched and bushy in itself. There are quite a lot of leaves on one plant. This is the most typical description of the variety.

You can get ripe tomatoes almost until late autumn if you care for them properly. The color of “yellow miracle” tomatoes varies from light yellowish, beige, to bright orange.

Tomato Cherry

The most popular variety of ampels. Famous for its small beautiful fruits. They are widely used in decoration and serving festive tables. In addition, cherry tomatoes are incredibly tasty. Small fruits similar to cherries can be easily and conveniently pickled, salted and canned.

Cherry tomatoes

Review Reviews

Gardeners who have already grown this variety leave positive reviews about the Pomisolka variety.

Vyacheslav: “I’ve been growing this variety in a greenhouse for the third season. The bushes are easy to care for; you just need to shape and tie up the bush. The plant bears fruit interestingly: in clusters. The fruits are small and beautiful, ripening together. They make delicious tomato juice, pickling and fresh tomatoes are also delicious. In a greenhouse, the bush can be grown with two or three stems. At the same time, the yield becomes higher. I really like Pomisolka cherry tomatoes, so I recommend buying seeds of this particular variety to everyone I know.”
