Description of the determinate tomato variety finish and features of growing the plant

Caring for plants in the ground

Grown, fully formed seedlings are prepared for planting in the garden in mid-May. Warm weather conditions and soil well warmed by the sun will contribute to the rapid growth of tomato seedlings.

The main care of tomato seedlings consists of watering, loosening, removing weeds and applying fertilizer.

Excessive humidity has a negative effect on tomato planting Effect. It slows down the pollination of flowers and causes them to fall off.

Important! High humidity promotes the development of fungal diseases and late blight on fruits. The yield of the bush decreases sharply

Effect tomatoes are described in the description as a determinate variety. The height of an adult bush reaches 80 cm. A strong compact plant can do without a garter, however, support will provide it with better growth conditions.

No more than four bushes of seedlings are allowed to be planted per 1 square meter of bed.

The seedlings in the garden bed can be mulched, not forgetting to periodically loosen the soil around the trunks. Peat can be used as mulch. This technique will preserve moisture in the garden bed and rid the planting of weeds.

The plant responds well to fertilizing. During the entire growing season, the plant needs 4 alternating feedings with organic and mineral fertilizers.

After flowering, fruits develop on tomato bushes. Ripe tomatoes are red in color, very juicy, but at the same time have dense pulp. This property contributes to their good transportability. The Effect tomato, grown as a salad crop, has good reviews among lovers of canning and pickling.

Growing and caring for the variety

Varietal characteristics, their characteristics and descriptions form a number of rules, without which it is difficult to obtain a decent harvest.

We grow seedlings

The quality of seedlings grown in compliance with the regime of day and night temperatures, lighting, dosed watering and fertilizing will become a reliable guarantee of a good harvest.

1. Seeds begin to be planted for seedlings 60-65 days before the planned planting in the greenhouse. This is mainly the month of March. The date largely depends on the climatic conditions of the region and the quality of the greenhouse shelter.
2. Seeds are prepared by disinfection in a manganese solution and treatment with a growth stimulant.
3. Planted in moist soil, deepened by 2 cm. Germination should be expected after 5 days.
4. Plants pick up when the first true leaf appears, planting them in separate containers.
5. Seedlings require moderate watering and fertilizing. At the initial stage, especially in cloudy weather, lighting is required to prevent the stems from stretching.

For those who have planted tomatoes more than once, these rules will not seem too complicated. But they shouldn’t be ignored either. By observing the day and night regimes and moistening the soil in time, you can get high-quality healthy seedlings, ready for any load.

A feature of indeterminate varieties is intensive, almost unlimited growth.

It is necessary to pay attention to the correct formation of the bush: removal of side shoots, excess foliage and timely limitation of stem growth

Replanting the tomato to a permanent location

There are no special secrets in the agricultural technology of growing the Moscow Delicacy tomato variety.

1. Seedlings are planted in the greenhouse in May. The recommended layout is 70 x 50 cm, which is approximately 3-4 plants per square meter.
2. We grow tomatoes by tying them to trellises or vertical supports.
3. As it grows from the bottom of the stem to a height of 60-80 cm, the leaves are removed. This measure improves air exchange, prevents the spread of fungal diseases, and does not distract the plant’s strength from the main task - the formation of ovaries.
4. The bush is formed into 2-3 stems, leaving 4 to 7 ovaries on each. After the required number of brushes is formed, the crown of the plant is pinched.
5. Water the bushes with warm water, at the root. It is especially necessary to monitor the soil moisture at the time of flowering and intensive growth of tomatoes.
6. Care comes down to watering, loosening the soil, fertilizing, removing stepsons and yellowed foliage.
7. The harvest begins in July and August.
8. With the onset of cold weather, they monitor the plants, trying to identify possible diseases in time. The variety can be affected by nematodes and late blight.

The presented description of agrotechnical techniques allows you to understand the main stages of plant care. Of course, every gardener has his own secrets for getting a good harvest. Someone thinks that if I planted tomatoes in a greenhouse, then I should use its entire volume. Let them grow to the very top. This practice is suitable for this variety.

Even on the street, “Moscow Delicacy” forms ovaries well, especially in hot weather. What can we say about greenhouse conditions? But tomatoes must have time to grow at least to a state of technical maturity. This must be taken into account in short summer conditions. Otherwise the variety is very productive. Housewives are happy with it and enjoy using it in home cooking.

Description of tomatoes Finish

The variety is classified as medium-fruited. The first tomatoes can be harvested 120–130 days after the shoots appear.

Bush characteristics:

• reaches a height of 60 to 75 cm;
• determinate, in other words, with short internodes (distance between racemes 12–18 centimeters);
• branching is weak;
• the ovary is formed for the first time after the fifth leaf, subsequently they appear after two leaves;
• powerful stem;
• the leaf shape is standard for a tomato;
• the color of the leaves is light green, the corrugation is weakly expressed;
• There are three to four stepsons on the plant below.

On a note. The yield per square meter is up to 7.5 kg of tomatoes.

The fruits of the Finish variety themselves have the following features:

• the weight of one fruit is from 80 to 100 g;
• their shape is round, somewhat flattened;
• when ripe they are not bright red, but have a tint of orange;
• the taste characteristics are excellent;
• the tomato pulp is juicy;
• seeds are present in separate chambers, their number is from 1 to 6.

Description

Rugantino belongs to the Cor de Boeuf (“Bull’s Heart”) variety. This is a hybrid of a very unusual shape, the fruits of which often reach large sizes.

Tomato bushes of this variety are indeterminate, or tall. They grow up to 1.5 meters in height. The leaves are practically no different in appearance from other varieties of tomatoes. The inflorescences are complex, with the first raceme appearing after 7-8 lower leaves.

The fruit is large and fleshy. It is quite dense, pear-shaped in shape. The weight of a ripe tomato can reach 160-200 g, and sometimes more. A characteristic feature of the fruits of this variety is their ribbed surface. Ripe tomatoes are always bright red. They taste sweet, but with some sourness.

The Rugantino tomato easily adapts even to some difficult weather conditions. For example, the ovary can form in intense heat, when the pollen of many other plants is sterilized.

Initially, the variety was bred for cultivation in greenhouses, but experience has shown that in the mild climate of the southern regions, Rugantino grows well in open ground.

Productivity under favorable conditions is high:

• in open ground you can grow up to 18 kg/sq.m;
• in a greenhouse up to 20 kg/sq.m.

This tomato is used for preparing salads and summer snacks. It goes well with other vegetables, as well as olive oil and the most common greens. Experienced housewives appreciated preservation using the Rugantino variety. Elastic, fleshy fruits are suitable for pickling and pickling, while overripe and soft fruits are ideal for winter salads.

In a word, Rugantino is a variety whose advantages can be listed endlessly.

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.

Planting seeds and planting seedlings

Tomatoes are grown by seedlings or without seedlings. Seeds are sown at the end of February, 1–1.5 g/m², in closed ground. Planting occurs at the end of May, according to the 70x50 cm pattern

It is important to ensure that tomatoes receive at least 10 hours of light per day.

Seeds are sown in cassettes or special seedling boxes. At a constant temperature of 20–22 °C, the first shoots of the variety appear on days 6–7. After the second pair of true leaves appears, the seedlings are picked and each plant is transplanted into a separate container. If planting is carried out in open ground, you need to make a shelter from polyethylene film and spunbond.

During the growth period, seedlings require constant feeding; mineral and organic fertilizers are used for this. When ready-made seedlings are planted in the field, it will not hurt to add complex fertilizers and rotted manure to the hole.

In order to increase the yield, it is necessary to change the location of the beds every year. It is better to do planting in good weather, as a sudden change in temperature can negatively affect the seedlings.

What does a Kaspar F1 tomato look like?

Caspar F1 is a determinate hybrid of medium-early ripening tomatoes, equally suitable for cultivation in greenhouses, greenhouses and open ground. It was created in the Netherlands, but in most Russian regions this variety consistently produces a very good harvest, successfully adapting to the specifics of the local climate and the vagaries of the weather.

Hybrid tomato Caspar F1 is one of the many successful achievements of Dutch breeders

The property of determinacy means that the height of the bush is artificially limited. Upon reaching the limit values, a fruit cluster is formed at the top.

Infographics: a brief description of the Kaspar variety

Brief description of the Kaspar tomato variety

The manufacturer states that the height of Caspar F1 is a maximum of 50–55 cm, but in practice in open ground it stretches up to 80–90 cm, in a greenhouse or greenhouse - up to 1.1–1.3 m. The bushes are densely leafy, the leaves are large. However, the plants are quite compact.

The bushes of the Caspar F1 hybrid are not as miniature as the manufacturer claims, but they cannot be called very tall and oversized

The first fruits are harvested 85–90 days after planting the seedlings in a greenhouse and 100–110 days later in open ground. One bush brings up to 1.5 kg of tomatoes during the season; about 10 kg are harvested from 1 m². The harvest is tried at the end of June or early July, the bushes bear fruit until the last days of August, in warm southern regions - even until September.

Caspar F1 tomatoes are distinguished by the duration of fruiting, it stretches for two or more months depending on climatic and weather conditions

The skin of ripe tomatoes is a beautiful red-orange color, they are elongated-cylindrical in shape, reminiscent of bell peppers (there is even a typical sharp “spout”). The weight of the fruit is 80–120 g, rare specimens weigh up to 200 g. They have 3–4 chambers, no more, the tomatoes are very fleshy. The pulp is dense, the dry matter content in it is up to 5.2%. The taste is characteristic “tomato,” slightly sour.

Ripe Caspar F1 tomatoes are distinguished by their presentable appearance and very good taste.

The skin is extremely dense, even rough. If the fruits are used for salads, it is recommended to peel it. By the way, this is easy to do, without even scalding them with boiling water. But the density of the skin determines the excellent shelf life (at room temperature - up to a month, in optimal conditions - up to 8-10 weeks) and transportability of tomatoes, they do not crack on the bush, do not turn into an unappetizing mush during heat treatment, maintaining their shape, consistency of pulp and brightness of color even when cut into pieces.

Thanks to the latter property, Caspar F1 is highly valued by gardeners who use tomatoes mainly for homemade preparations. They praise the taste and appearance of salted, pickled and sun-dried tomatoes; they especially note the suitability of the hybrid for canning in its own juice.

Caspar F1 tomatoes are especially good in any homemade preparations

Kaspar F1 has good resistance to diseases typical of the crop. It does not suffer from verticillium and fusarium. The hybrid is less resistant to late blight, but it is saved by the ripening time - most of the harvest is harvested before the massive spread of the disease, which occurs in August, when the temperature drops and prolonged rains begin. Pests (with the exception of aphids) also do not show increased interest in this tomato.

Caspar F1 has genetically “built-in” immunity from Fusarium wilt - this dangerous disease can destroy a bush in a matter of days

Recently, the creators have improved the Kaspar F1 by creating “version 2.0” - the Hypil 108 F1 hybrid. It differs from the original in terms of ripening (10–15 days earlier) and the slight “barrel-shaped” shape of the fruit. Domestic breeders also worked with it, developing the hybrid Caspar 2, which was included in the State Register in 2015 and recognized as suitable for cultivation in all regions of Russia.

Since Kaspar F1 is a hybrid, there is no point in collecting seeds from personally grown fruits for planting next season. They will have to be purchased again every year. This is perhaps the only significant drawback of the tomato.

Tomato Caspar 2 differs from the “original” in a more saturated red skin color and slightly in the shape of the fruit

Care

7 days after planting, the plants need to be fed. A solution of nitroamophoska (40-50 grams per 10 liters of water) is suitable for feeding the Rugantino variety. It is useful to feed with chicken droppings, and when the first fruits form, with complex fertilizers. It is also recommended to trim off shoots and old dried leaves. It is better to do this after watering or in the morning. At the very beginning of summer, you need to pinch the growing point (thanks to this, the tomatoes will have time to ripen before the onset of cold weather).

Obviously, caring for this variety does not require special knowledge and skills. However, you need to constantly care for the plants, carefully monitoring their growth.

Description of tomato variety Finish and characteristics

Tomato “Finish” varietal selection of the Volgograd experimental station VNIIR named after. N.I. Vavilova. Created specifically for open ground cultivation. “Finish” tomatoes are resistant to weather stress, unpretentious and consistently productive, and have earned only good reviews.

Description of the variety: “Finish” is a late, medium-fruited variety. Gives the first harvest 120-130 days after germination. The bush of this variety is semi-determinate, reaching 60-75 cm. The stem is powerful and well developed. The leaves on the bushes are of normal shape, light, slightly corrugated. The bush gives 3-4 stepsons from below. Does not require pinching. Tying the bushes "Finish" is preferable, but not necessary. The yield of this variety is good: 7-7.5 kg per 1 sq. m.

Characteristics of the fruit: The fruits of ripe Finish tomatoes are red, however, not bright, but have an orange tint. Fruit weight is about 80-100 grams. Fruits with excellent taste and technical qualities. The tomato pulp is juicy and contains a small number of seeds. These tomatoes are perfect for fresh consumption, as well as for processing, including whole-fruit canning and pickling. After heat treatment, the amount of vitamins in tomatoes almost doubles!

Reviews on the transportability and keeping quality of the variety are also positive.

How to grow productive tomato bushes

Those who planted the “Finish” variety note resistance to verticillium leaf wilt, but these tomatoes are often affected by late blight.

• Fertilize the sprouts once a week with liquid fertilizer for seedlings of vegetable plants.
• During transplantation, preparations are used to strengthen the root system, as well as ash, which is used to powder the holes.
• Before planting seedlings, they are inspected. Weakened and broken plants are discarded.
• Tomatoes tolerate overhead watering satisfactorily, but drip irrigation is preferable.

After planting tomato bushes you must:

• Water the tomatoes every 10 days.
• Mulch the soil under the plant with finely chopped grass.
• Feed and fertilize the bushes in a timely manner.
• Remove all lower leaves to improve tomato ripening and better aeration of the bushes.
• Loosen and weed the beds.

Tips for beginners

The “Finish” variety is late-ripening, so attention should be paid to preserving as many ovaries as possible. Late tomatoes suffer from strong sun exposure, elevated temperatures during flowering, and low air humidity.

In the summer heat, a shading net is pulled over the beds, which protects the tomato fruits from sunburn, shades them and creates a humid microclimate. Such nets save harvests of late tomatoes and from attacks of the Colorado potato beetle if they are pulled lower over the bushes.

Late varieties of tomatoes bear fruit for a long time, the bushes are green, and the harvest ripens gradually. It is necessary to monitor the weather conditions of the region so as not to miss the first frosts. The green fruits of late tomatoes ripen well and last for 4-6 months. Unripe green and brown fruits are suitable for pickling and canning for the winter. This is a hot commodity on the market. Farmers successfully sell green tomatoes without waiting for them to be ripe

Directions for use:

Recommended for fresh consumption and processing into tomato products.

Planting technology and care rules

Future productivity depends on the correct planting of the seedling in the soil. And if not properly cared for, the tree can often get sick due to weakened immunity.

Preparation of planting material

Before planting, the seedling needs to be prepared so that it can quickly take root in its new location. To do this, the rhizome is dipped into a growth activator within a few hours. And just before planting, the roots are placed in a liquid clay solution. These measures will be quite sufficient.

Required soil composition

The Moscow Ozherelye apple tree is undemanding to the soil. The seedling grows well on black soil, loamy and sandy soil.

Timing and scheme of planting seedlings

The most favorable period for planting seedlings is autumn. It is worth planting an apple tree before mid-October. Autumn planting is preferable because over the winter the seedling will take root in a new place, and in the spring it will begin to grow actively. You need to prepare the place for planting 2 weeks in advance. The soil is dug up, the top layer is mixed with manure and urea. Then they fill the bottom with it. A stake is driven into the center.

Place the seedling in the center of the hole, bury it with soil and water generously. At the end, tie it to a stake. The distance between adjacent trees should be at least 2 m.

Irrigation

Water the apple tree 4 times per season. Most of all, the plant needs liquid during the period of swelling of the buds, flowering, and filling of apples. The last time the tree is watered is before the onset of cold weather.

Loosening the soil

Before each watering, it is recommended to loosen the soil and remove all weeds. Loosening before watering will help ensure that the roots receive more oxygen along with water. You need to weed the soil to a depth of 7-10 cm.

Foliar and root feeding

In the first half of the season, nitrogen is added to the soil. In the second half of the season, the apple tree needs phosphorus and potassium. In addition, the soil is fertilized with urea, bone meal and manure. For foliar feeding, use a solution of boric acid. The tree is sprayed before flowering and 10 days after.

Crown formation

The apple tree is pruned twice per season - in spring and autumn. But it is not necessary to trim the crown every year. In the spring, formative pruning is carried out. Branches should only be cut with sharp pruning shears. The first time the plant is pruned after planting. To prevent the seedling from freezing in winter, cut off its top. Also in the spring, young shoots are periodically pruned. In autumn, dry and damaged branches are cut off.

Treatment and treatment procedures for diseases and pests

The Moscow Necklace apple tree will not have to be frequently treated for pests. This variety has high immunity. But it is still advisable to maintain the plant. For prevention, the tree is sprayed several times a season with preparations against pests and diseases.

Picking up tomato seedlings

Before diving, liquid organic matter or mineral fertilizers are added, the dosage of which is reduced by 2 times. Planting of seedlings is carried out after true leaves appear. This is done after the seedlings become crowded in the box.

How to pick seedlings correctly:

• Pots are being prepared. Their volume depends on the size of the seedlings. Fill them with soil.
• The seedlings are pre-watered so that the root system is damaged as little as possible during transplantation.
• Use your left hand to hold the plant by the stem. Using a dull knife or spatula, pry up the soil so that the root comes out along with a lump of earth.

The pick is performed once or twice. It allows you to increase the power supply area. When transplanting, the roots are broken off, which leads to the formation of a large number of new ones, and the root system is strengthened.

Description and characteristics of the tomato Flash

The bush is low (40–50 cm), standard, with shortened internodes, and belongs to the determinant type. Such plants are limited in growth by apexing - the formation of a flower cluster at the top of the stem. The variety does not require pinching. The leaves are dark green and medium in size. The first inflorescence is formed above the fifth or sixth leaf, the subsequent ones are not separated by leaves. The inflorescences are complex, the stalk has articulations.

The fruit is round, maybe with slight ribbing. Weight is 80–120 grams. Unripe tomatoes are light green, while fully ripe tomatoes are red. The number of nests is at least four, maybe more. The pulp is dense, the skin is quite thin, but the fruits do not crack.

Flash tomato fruits are round, medium in size, rich red in color

The taste is excellent: according to gardeners, the pulp is juicy, not watery, sweetish, and sugary when cut. There is an increased content of lycopene and vitamins.

Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment that determines the color of fruits. However, it does not have A-vitamin activity, but functions as an antioxidant in the human body. Lycopene is believed to be useful in the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

The fruits are most often used fresh for salads, in cooking, and also for processing into tomato products: juice, puree, paste, etc. There are different opinions regarding their suitability for whole-fruit canning. According to some reviews, when rolled into jars, tomatoes may spread due to their thin skin.

From the fruits of the tomato Vshlyshka we obtain rich tomato juice of excellent taste.

The variety is ultra-early (up to 95 days), the originator claims that such a short growing season makes it possible to grow tomatoes without seedlings even in problematic climates. You can collect 4.8 kg of fruit per square meter, ripening is smooth. The yield of marketable products can reach almost 100%. Resistance to extreme growing conditions is noted, as well as relative immunity to late blight.

Main characteristics

Finish tomato bushes are highly resistant to sudden changes in weather conditions and can easily tolerate sudden drops in temperature, periods of rain and short-term drought.

Productivity

The yield of this variety is quite high; up to 8 kg of ripe fruits are collected from each square. And when growing Finish tomatoes on an industrial scale, up to 300-600 centners of ripe products are collected from each hectare of area.

Tomato yield Finish

Area of ​​application of fruits

The collected fruits have a good taste, so they are primarily used for fresh eating and added to summer salads. They can also be used in preparing various snacks. Tomatoes are also used for preservation, and during heat treatment the tomatoes do not burst, and the amount of nutrients in their composition does not decrease. And housewives note that the most delicious of the fruits of this variety is tomato juice.

Tomato finish characteristics and description of the variety – Garden and vegetable garden

Tomato Finish is a determinate variety. The height of the bushes reaches 75 cm. The number of leaves is average.

How to grow a Finish tomato correctly?

Finish tomato fruits have an excellent taste. Tomatoes are eaten fresh or processed. The juice made from them is especially tasty.

Description and advantages of the variety

Tomato Finish is a low-growing (determinant) variety. The height of the bush reaches 60-75 cm.

The number of shoots and leaves is small. The fruits are round or slightly flattened, orange-red. The size is medium, the weight of one is about 80 g.

The seeds are located in 4-6 chambers.

Designed for cultivation in open ground and in film greenhouses.

Fruits begin to form after the 5th leaf, subsequent ones - every 2 leaves. The ripening period is late.

It takes 120 days from germination to the harvesting of the first fruits.

The advantage of the variety is considered to be stable yield (from 260 to 610 c/ha) and resistance to Verticillium wilt of tomatoes.

Preparation of planting material

Seeds are sown for seedlings a month before planting. If you do this too early, the seedlings will overgrow and stretch, which will negatively affect the quality of the harvest.

In southern latitudes this is the end of February - mid-March, in central latitudes - the second half of March. When grown in northern regions, seeds are sown in the first half of April.

When growing Finish tomatoes in a greenhouse, you can sow the seeds 2 weeks earlier.

The seeds are being prepared. The multi-colored shell will indicate that they have been processed by the manufacturer. If it is not there, you need to take care of protecting the seeds from diseases yourself. Disinfection is carried out in one of the following ways:

• The seeds are soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 15 minutes and washed. If kept for a long time, the yield will decrease.
• Soak the seeds for a day in a weak soda solution. It disinfects and accelerates fruiting.
• The aloe leaf is hidden in the cold for a week. Squeeze out the juice and immerse the seeds in it for a day. The treatment increases plant immunity and improves the quality of fruits.

Disinfect the soil in one of the following ways:

1. Microwave in small batches for 2 minutes.
2. Heat in the oven for 10 minutes at 180°C.
3. Spill boiling water.

After disinfection, the soil is watered and kept in a warm room for up to 10 days, until beneficial microorganisms begin to develop in it. Then you can sow the seeds.

How to sow seeds for seedlings correctly?

Place the soil in boxes and lightly compact them. Make grooves 1 cm deep and a distance between them of up to 4 cm. Place the seeds along the grooves at a distance of at least 1 cm. Sprinkle with soil.

You can immediately spread the seeds over the surface of the soil, then sprinkle them with a layer of soil. But during the period of emergence, this layer will rise along with the tomato sprouts, creating an air cushion inside.

This can harm the seedlings.

Cover with glass or film and install in a room with a temperature of 25°C.

Can be leaned against a heating radiator. This way the seeds will germinate quickly and amicably.

Control soil moisture by opening the glass and shaking off any dew drops on it. If the soil dries out, moisten it with a spray bottle.

The appearance of mold indicates that watering was excessive and humidity was high.

Remove the affected layer of soil, spill it with a solution of potassium permanganate or Fitosporin, add new soil. At high temperatures in the room, seedlings appear a few days after sowing, at lower temperatures - later.

Sprouts need to create the following conditions:

1. Seedlings need a lot of light. Place the boxes on south or southwest windows. If the lighting in the room is weak, illuminate them with phytolamps.
2. The humidity in the room should be high. To do this, you need to spray the seedlings daily with water at room temperature and install air humidifiers.
3. The temperature during the day should not fall below 18, and at night 12°C. The optimal temperature for the day will be 22°C.

Remove the film or glass. Watering is carried out as the soil dries. It should not be overdried so that the seedlings do not die.

But you can’t overfill it, it can be destroyed by the fungal disease blackleg.

It is especially dangerous for seedlings that are installed on a cold windowsill and grow in damp soil.

I water the young shoots, avoiding the cotyledons and true leaves. It is convenient to do this with a syringe. Hardening off seedlings begins as early as possible. Start with 5 minutes and gradually increase the procedure time.

She is not afraid of direct sunlight and wind.

How to grow tomatoes

The crop is grown through seedlings. Sowing work begins in the second ten days of March, 60–65 days before transferring to closed ground.

Seeds do not need to be treated with potassium permanganate or soaked in growth stimulants before sowing. This is what they do in production.

To identify empty grains, a calibration method is used. The seeds are soaked for 10 minutes in a saline solution (1 tsp per glass of water at room temperature). Poor quality material will float to the surface; it is not used for sowing. The seeds remaining at the bottom of the glass are washed with warm running water.

Soil for growing seedlings is prepared from equal parts of turf, peat and river sand with the addition of superphosphate (40 g per bucket of soil mixture). They also use ready-made substrate in bags for growing seedlings of peppers and tomatoes. Such soil is already enriched with nutrients.

Before use, the soil is disinfected in an oven, steamer, and treated with a solution of potassium permanganate or “Fitosporin M”. The procedure prevents the development of bacteria and fungi in the soil.

After the shoots appear, the film is removed and the containers are taken to a lighted place. The duration of daylight should be at least 15–16 hours. To prevent seedlings from stretching out and gaining strength faster when there is a lack of sunlight, fluorescent lamps are installed above them.

Seedlings do not like overwatering, so instead of a watering can, use a spray bottle.

At home it is easy to prepare universal foliar and root feeding:

• 20 g superphosphate;
• 10 g of potassium sulfate;
• 5 g urea.

Hybrid Stresa f1 is grown in protected ground using standard methods. The soil and greenhouses are prepared in the fall. In the spring, they are re-loosened and fertilized with humus. Indeterminate plants need pinching, staking, moderate watering and the application of organic and mineral fertilizers.

Landing

The strengthened seedlings are transferred to a permanent place in mid-May. The soil is dug up in the fall, plant debris is removed along with the roots and a bucket of humus is added per 1 m². At the beginning of spring, the soil is loosened and fertilized with humus - 10 liters per square meter.

Holes 20 cm deep are dug in a checkerboard pattern every 40 cm. The distance between the rows is 70 cm. Cool boiling water is poured into each hole, a handful of wood ash and a tablespoon of superphosphate are added. Seedlings are moistened abundantly with warm water and planted in holes.

After planting, the soil is covered with black agrofibre to prevent the growth of weeds, the spread of fungi and bacteria, and reduce labor costs for caring for tomatoes. Instead of synthetic fiber, straw, peat, sawdust, and pine needles are used.

The bushes are formed into two stems by removing young shoots after the fifth cluster and tied to high wooden supports or a trellis. The procedure stimulates the formation of ovaries and increases productivity.

Young bushes require about 5 liters of water, adults – 10 liters. Watering frequency is once every 10–12 days.

The Stresa hybrid needs regular feeding with organic and mineral compounds. During the growing season, plants are fertilized 3-4 times. The first fertilizing with organic matter is carried out two weeks after planting. An infusion of chicken manure (20 g per 10 liters of water) or mullein (1 liter of infusion per 10 liters of water) is suitable for this. Ready-made organic fertilizers are popular: “Pixa”, “Vermix”, “Ripen-ka”, “Reliable”.

14 days after adding organic matter, the bushes begin to be fed with mineral complexes during the flowering period, the formation of ovaries and at the beginning of fruiting: “Kemira”, “Universal”, “Rastvorin”. Their main advantage is their balanced composition, eliminating the need to prepare the mixture yourself. The manufacturer indicates on the packaging the consumption and frequency of use.

Despite the manufacturer’s recommendations, in the southern regions the crop is also grown in open areas. The agricultural technology of tomatoes is no different from growing them in greenhouses. The culture withstands heat and cold and rarely gets sick. At the same time, yield indicators decrease, but the taste and presentation of the fruit remain at a high level.

Growing rules

When growing tomatoes, including the Andreevsky Surprise variety, you should follow some rules:

1. Grow in a sunny place.
2. Provide sufficient moisture.
3. The vegetable must ripen on the bush.
4. Proper feeding is required.

And also do not neglect loosening, weeding, and mulching.

Planting seedlings

The conditions for growing tomatoes in seedlings are traditional. But the Andreevsky Surprise variety has a distinctive feature - the seedlings do not require additional lighting.

It is enough to pour a 6-8 cm layer of soil into the seedling boxes. Distribute the tomato seeds according to the pattern: 2 cm between tomatoes in a row and 4 cm between rows of tomatoes.

Seedlings will develop well at a temperature of + 25-28 ° C.

At temperatures below + 18 °C, the growth of seedlings stops. This fact can be used if the seedlings are overgrown. To maintain a high temperature, seedling containers are covered with film.

The crops are ventilated daily by lifting the film. Water with a spray bottle, avoiding over-watering. The first tomato seedlings will sprout in 4-6 days.

A few tips will help you avoid errors when growing:

1. Picking seedlings when 2 true leaves appear. The sooner the plants are transplanted, the faster they adapt to new conditions and strengthen the root system. This procedure should be performed up to 3 times during the growing of seedlings. Since the variety is indeterminate, picking is aimed at restraining plant growth without shifting the start of fruiting.
2. Deepening tomato seedlings St. Andrew's Surprise to the cotyledon leaves to form additional roots.
3. Carrying out the first fertilizing of tomato bushes a week after picking. Fertilizers are used no more than 2 times during the entire period.
4. Don't forget about hardening off the seedlings. A month before planting in the ground, the seedlings are taken out into the fresh air, gradually increasing the time spent outside.

The seedlings are transferred to the greenhouse in early May. The transplantation of seedlings into open ground will occur later, after the average daily temperature has reached at least + 15 °C. The date for planting tomatoes depends on the specific region.

Tomato transplant

Seedlings that are going to be transplanted into open ground or a greenhouse have certain requirements. Tomato seedlings St. Andrew's Surprise, judging by the reviews of gardeners, should have a thick stem, large dark green leaves and a powerful root system.

At the time of transplantation, the seedlings should have one flower cluster, but with unopened buds. If the flowers have already bloomed, vegetable growers recommend removing them. But there is no point in removing the first flower of this variety - this does not increase the yield, and the largest fruit will be lost.

The optimal age of seedlings for planting is 60-65 days. Tomatoes are planted at the rate of 2 plants per 1 sq. m or according to the 50x50 cm pattern.

A description of transplanting the tomato variety Andreevsky Surprise will be incomplete without highlighting several important points:

1. Tomato stems are tied immediately upon planting to supports in the form of stakes or trellises.
2. Self-grown seedlings can be planted in a permanent place at any time of the day, while purchased seedlings can be planted in cloudy weather or in the evening.
3. It is advisable to bury the stems of tomatoes not reaching the first true leaves of 2-3 cm. Overgrown seedlings are placed in furrows, leaving a seedling of normal height above the soil surface.

Nuances of cultivation

The “Family F1” tomato is very high-yielding. In order for the hybrid to fully reveal its genetic potential, it is necessary to grow powerful, stocky seedlings.

Early varieties and hybrids can be cultivated without seedlings, but then it will not be possible to obtain early products.

Sowing

Since “Family F1” is a hybrid, gardeners will not learn how to use their seeds. By purchasing professional seeds, there is no longer any need to treat them with growth stimulants. There is also no point in soaking the seeds, since the growth regulators used to treat the seed by the manufacturer can be washed off. Therefore, the best sowing method is to sow dry seeds in nutrient soil.

Selection of soil mixture

It is best to use a universal soil mixture for seedlings, created by professional agrochemists, which is offered in a chain of agriculturally oriented stores. Such soils are selected specifically for seedlings; they are;

• lungs;
• nutritious;
• disinfected;
• water-permeable;
• enriched with minerals;
• balanced in acidity (pH).

If you prepare the soil yourself, then it is better to take compost, humus and sand in equal quantities. You need to add 0.5 liters of stove ash to a bucket of such a mixture; this will add potassium and phosphorus to the mixture, and will also reduce the acidity that is undesirable for tomatoes.

Since the tomato is very productive, it is impossible to do without additional fertilizing. To avoid unnecessary hassle, when preparing the soil, you can combine it with mineral nutrients. To do this, add two tablespoons of ammonium nitrate and superphosphate to a bucket of the mixture and mix thoroughly.

Sowing technology

In order for the seedlings to be friendly, you must adhere to the following methodology:

1. Fill the tub with the pre-prepared soil mixture;
2. Place tomato seeds on the surface of the soil at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other;
3. Cover the seeds with 1.5-2 cm of soil;
4. Pour water through a sieve, the temperature of which is 2-3 degrees higher than room temperature;
5. Wrap the crops in film or cover with glass;
6. Place the crops in a place where the temperature will be kept within 24-26 ᵒC around the clock.

Shoots will appear in 6-8 days.

Caring for seedlings

To grow high-quality seedlings you need:

• compliance with temperature conditions;
• timely watering;
• regular ventilation.
• fertilizing, in case of sowing in unprepared soils.

As soon as the seedlings reach the stage of two true leaves, they must be picked into individual containers. Further departure will consist of the same points as before the dive.

Planting in a greenhouse shelter is carried out at the age of 55-65 days, and in open ground at the same age, but only when the threat of frost has passed.

Features of outdoor care

Considering the “Family F1” tomato reviews, photos, and productivity, it becomes clear that the basis of a large commodity volume is fertilizing.

They should be carried out 2-3 weeks after planting the seedlings, starting with nitrogenous ones, and then every 15-20 days. From the moment the ovaries form, potassium fertilizers are added to the nutrient solutions.

The “Family F1” tomato is worthy of the attention of vegetable growers and remains a favorite for a long time.

Characteristics Tomato Finish (Finish), 50 g, Search, (Russia)

Tomato Finish is a determinate, weakly leafy plant 60-75 cm high. A variety for growing in open ground. The tomato is a late-ripening variety (late-ripening). Fruit ripening occurs 125-130 days after full germination. The fruit is flat and round, smooth, medium dense, orange-red in color, weighing 85-120 grams. This is not just a very tasty variety of tomatoes, but also very healthy. Its pulp contains many vitamins and organic acids. It is recommended for processing into tomato products: pastes, juices, sauces are very tasty and healthy, as well as for fresh consumption and whole-fruit canning. Dry matter content 4.2-5.3%.

Tomatoes of the Finish variety are resistant to Verticellium wilt (V). The value of the variety: excellent taste, stable yield, good commercial characteristics and transportability.

The best early ripening varieties

These varieties and hybrids of tomatoes for open ground will be the first to ripen. As a rule, their ripening period will not exceed 90 days.

Daria

Daria tomato plants do not stand out much for their size. When grown in open beds, their height will not exceed 110 cm. One fruit cluster of this variety can grow from 5 to 6 tomatoes, which ripen in 85–88 days.

The weight of Daria tomatoes in most cases will be between 120 and 150 grams, but larger specimens are also found. At maturity they turn a rich, bright red color. Round Daria tomatoes have very tasty pulp, which is used with equal success both for cooking and for canning.

Daria's immunity is able to resist diseases such as fusarium, tobacco mosaic and alternaria. If the growing conditions are met, the yield per square meter can reach 17 kg.

Abundant F1

Abundant F1 is a hybrid variety. The height of its determinate plants with small dark green leaves will only reach 100 cm in height. When grown in open beds, the first Izobilny F1 tomatoes will ripen in 85 days.

Important! It is advisable to tie the Abundant F1 hybrid to a support.

In addition, to increase its yield, the gardener will have to occasionally prun the bushes.

Round-flat tomatoes of this hybrid will not grow weighing more than 70 - 90 grams. Having reached the ripening period, they are uniformly colored deep pink or red. The average density of the pulp and good taste allow the tomatoes of the Izobilny F1 hybrid to be used with equal success both for salads and for canning.

Like other hybrid varieties Izobilny F1 has increased resistance to many diseases, especially fusarium and tobacco mosaic. Its bushes set up very well and produce a harvest. From each of them the gardener will harvest up to 2.5 kg of crop, and from a square meter of planting area up to 7 kg.

Diseases and pests

Tomato Finish is resistant to Verticillium wilt. But it can be affected by other diseases, fungal and viral:

1. Late blight is accompanied by the appearance of brown spots on leaves, stems and fruits. The lower part of the leaf is covered with a powdery coating. This is a fungal disease.
2. Fomoz - brown rot of fruits. Large spots appear near the stalk. The fruits disappear. They are removed before complete defeat.
3. Cladosporiosis (brown spot) can be seen by light gray spots under the leaves. The disease spreads quickly and the plant dies.
4. Top rot is the appearance of wet spots on the top of the green fruit. It ripens quickly, but does not have a marketable appearance. Fruits lying on the ground are most often affected.
5. Stick (viral disease) - parts of plants become covered with yellow stripes. The flowers fall off, the fruits do not set.

Treatment and prevention of fungal diseases - treatment once every 2 weeks with HOM, Oxyx, Skor. Bushes affected by viral diseases are destroyed.

Main pests of tomato Finish:

The larvae and adults of the Colorado potato beetle and whitefly are treated with Fitoverm. Slugs are collected by hand or sprinkled around the bush with ash along with tobacco dust and lime.
