Characteristics and description of Heinz tomato hybrids, cultivation rules

Growing the species

The seedling method is mainly used.
But there is the possibility of growing without seedlings. The weather conditions of the growing region must be taken into account. Tomato Hypil F1 is thermophilic. When choosing a place for planting, you need to give preference to areas that are well-lit by the sun and protected from the wind. A garter to the support is required. Step-sonning at will.

After the appearance of 2 full leaves, you need to dive. Seedlings are demanding for consecration. During the initial period of development, plant roots do not absorb phosphorus well. Therefore, when planting, it is recommended to add it to the soil.

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.

Kraft Heinz has created ketchup from tomatoes grown in conditions similar to those found on Mars.

Kraft Heinz introduces the first-ever ketchup created in conditions simulating Martian conditions - a limited edition Marz space ketchup. Together with a team of astrobiologists from the Aldrin Space Institute, the company grew tomatoes in soil that is as close in composition as possible to the soil of the red planet.

The goal of the project was not only to produce high-quality tomatoes for a unique line of ketchup, but also to find new ways to grow them on Earth and beyond - so that both at home and when exploring new planets, future travelers could enjoy the favorite taste of Heinz ketchup.

For the experiment, the Red House greenhouse was built. It simulated the conditions that people would encounter when growing crops on Mars, from lighting and temperature to soil type. As a result, several thousand tomatoes were grown, from which a batch of Marz ketchup was created. The first bottle of the new ketchup went into space beyond the Earth's atmosphere: it visited an altitude of 37,000 meters at a temperature of −70 °C and returned to Earth.

The first experiment in history to produce “Martian” tomatoes lasted 2 years. It featured Kraft Heinz experts—experts in analyzing complex soil and climate conditions, selecting seeds, and implementing advanced technologies for crop development—and leading scientists from the Aldrin Space Institute at Florida Institute of Technology.

“We are very proud that we were able to recreate the taste of our favorite ketchup even under such non-standard conditions and tell the whole world about the results of our experiment. This project showed that Heinz tomato ketchup will be in demand even beyond Earth, and we all have a delicious future ahead of us,” said Hector Osorno, Kraft Heinz tomato specialist.

“To begin with, we analyzed the soil of Mars, then selected four types of seeds for growing tomatoes - and two of them were ideal. As a result, we were able to reap a large harvest and create space ketchup,” said Christina Kenz, director of international business development at Kraft Heinz. “We have been collaborating with the Aldrin Space Institute for more than 100 years. During this time, we were able to work with the best scientists and strengthen our expertise in growing crops on the soil of another planet, as well as learn more about ours. In addition, this experiment will help find a solution to one of the global problems - land degradation."

A team of scientists from the Aldrin Space Institute, led by Dr. Andrew Palmer, published an article detailing the experiment. First, the researchers tested the seeds in a “red” greenhouse to check how suitable the Martian soil is for crop production. And, as soon as suitable types of seedlings were found, tomatoes were planted. The experiment became one of the largest “Martian” projects, during which scientists created a unique greenhouse to simulate the conditions of the red planet.

“Most of the research that has been done to find ways to grow seedlings on the red planet has been short-term. Now, for the first time, we have studied the possibility of growing fruit and vegetable crops on Mars for a long time. This is the uniqueness of the project. We managed to achieve incredible results: obtaining a crop of tomatoes of the highest quality, from which the legendary Heinz ketchup was produced,” commented Andrew Palmer.

Heinz ketchup is popular not only on Earth. After testing by food scientists in 1999, NASA approved tomato ketchup for use aboard the International Space Station, and astronauts have been enjoying the flavor off-world for years. One of the ketchup fans is Mike Massimino, a former NASA astronaut, professor of mechanical engineering, who has two space flights and four spacewalks under his belt, and the first person to post on Twitter during a flight.

“We have a saying in space: it’s not the food, it’s the sauce. In conditions of weightlessness, taste sensations sometimes change - many foods begin to seem fresh. That’s why astronauts love all kinds of condiments, and my love for Heinz ketchup began in space,” Mike said.

You can find out more details about the unusual project in the first of three articles by Dr. Palmer and the Aldrin Space Institute team.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Strauch variety

The main varietal advantage of Strauch is, of course, its complex resistance to most diseases that affect tomatoes, such as septoria, late blight, macrosporiosis, blossom end rot, and stolbur.

Another important positive characteristic of the variety is its unpretentiousness. Neither cool weather, nor insufficient watering, nor drought interfere with the growth and development of tomatoes, and the harvest is almost always abundant and tasty.

Disadvantages include the price of seeds (they cost twice as much as most other varieties) and the difficulty of acquiring them.

How many tomatoes are in Vkusville tomato paste and is Heinz paste safe?

While some diligently grow tomatoes in the garden and enjoy their juicy fruits, others turn tomatoes into paste and roll them into jars. Experts learned what can be found in one of them.

Subject: Consumer protection

Nowadays it is difficult to imagine Russian cuisine without potatoes, cucumbers or, for example, tomatoes. Although both of them came to us relatively recently. Potatoes - at the end of the 17th century. Its appearance in Russia is associated with Peter the Great, who sent a bag of potato tubers from Holland. Then, by the way, the vegetable did not receive much recognition. And tomatoes appeared in Russia less than two hundred years ago. They were also brought from Holland, where they came from Latin America. Mexico is considered the birthplace of tomatoes.

Tomatoes, like many fruits and vegetables from the American continents, have come such a long and long way due to the conquistadors’ conquests of Indian tribes in America. And, although we rejoice at the wide assortment on vegetable shelves, in Latin American countries this period of history is remembered with pain. The conquerors brought from the continent everything that had at least some value: gold, tobacco, spices, herbs, dyes and, of course, exotic plants with edible fruits. Among them were the already familiar pumpkin, bell peppers and chili peppers, vanilla, beans, zucchini, cocoa, corn and, of course, tomato. By the way, the word “tomato” was already coined in Europe, and in its homeland the vegetable was called “tomato”.

It is interesting that tomatoes in Europe began to be used as food only a couple of hundred years after they were introduced. They were kept as ornamental plants for a long time due to their resemblance to poisonous fruits on potato bushes. And only in 1692 in Naples they tried the tomato and included it in one of the recipes for the first time.

There's nothing to blush about

“NashPotrebNadzor” aired on the NTV channel

Together, the Moscow Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor tested six samples of tomato paste from the brands
Glavprodukt, Pomidorka, Uncle Vanya, Heinz, Kukhmaster
and
Vkusville
.

First of all, all samples were dried in the laboratory to determine the mass fraction of dry soluble matter - the main indicator of the naturalness of the paste. A quality product should contain at least 25% of tomato powder after evaporation. If the proportion is less, there is reason to believe that starch was added to the paste, and it is only allowed in ketchup. As a result of testing in Glavproduct

and
“Vkusville”,
the proportion of dry matter turned out to be slightly less than expected, but the discrepancy turned out to be insignificant and experts attributed it to an error in the calculations.

Next, the paste was tested for dangerous pesticides. They were found in all samples, but in a dosage one hundred times less than the permissible one.

According to established requirements, tomato paste cannot contain any additives: it can only contain tomatoes, water and salt. The Uncle Vanya brand paste did not pass the test for compliance with the requirements

, where the manufacturer added benzoic and sorbic acid.

As a result of the inspection, experts blacklisted Uncle Vanya

- although the preservatives used in it are harmless, their very use in the paste is a gross violation of the requirements. The samples “Pomodorka”, “Heinz”, “Kuhmaster” and “Vkusvill” passed the test successfully and are recommended by experts for purchase and consumption.

Description of Heinz tomato hybrids and its characteristics

Growing Heinz tomatoes became popular thanks to American breeders. These varieties are distinguished by excellent characteristics, meet all commercial qualities, and are grown in private garden plots and on a huge industrial scale. They are distinguished by ease and ease of cultivation.

Characteristics of Heinz tomatoes

Early-ripening, mid-ripening varieties, determinate bushes with good productivity. Suitable for growing in greenhouses and open ground.

Heinz tomatoes have the following characteristics:

• are stored for a long time after picking (ripe fruits up to 30 days, brown ones - up to 60);
• retain excellent presentation even after transportation;
• the taste characteristics are excellent;
• abundant fruiting and friendly ripening;
• ideal for canning, juice and fresh consumption;
• The variety is disease resistant.

Plants of medium vigor, growing season from 85 to 120 days, yield from 100-120 tons per hectare. The fruits are round and cube-shaped, weighing 60-150 g.

Heinz tomatoes include many hybrids that meet the above characteristics. All varieties ripen together (up to 97% of fruits at a time), have excellent taste and shape.

Sowing of seeds to obtain seedlings occurs 60 days before the calculated date of planting in the soil. For 1 sq. m. there should be no more than 6 bushes. To obtain high fruiting in small (dacha) plots, all flaccid, damaged and thin sprouts are discarded; the planted seedlings must be healthy.

Popular variety Heinz

The most popular among all hybrids is Heinz 3402 F1, even No1 in industrial tomato growing. Full ripening occurs 110 days after the appearance of the first sprouts. Mass production is characterized by a huge harvest - one hectare brings more than 110 tons.

The tomatoes are bright red and plum shaped. Medium in size, firm, approximately 90 g.

Advantages of hybrid 3402:

• easy to care for;
• easy transportation over long distances;
• quality and structural characteristics;
• the highest presentation;
• easy tolerance of adverse conditions;
• fruit set even under unsuitable conditions;
• long-term storage unchanged;
• suitable for mechanized cleaning;
• the yield is high in conditions of drought and high humidity;
• resistance to diseases (Alternaria blight, Fusarium wilt).

Early varieties

Variety 1015 F1 is an early ripening hybrid. It bears fruit already on the 95th day after germination. It is distinguished by a powerful bush and bright red juicy cube-shaped fruits. The weight of one tomato is up to 100 grams. The plant is resistant to diseases, fungi and pests. Available for mechanical cleaning.

Ultra early hybrid from Heinz seed

Among the Heinz tomato seeds, 2206 F1 is distinguished, which bears fruit 85 days after the appearance of the first shoots. Already in June you can enjoy the first tomatoes, which are located on powerful bushes.

The variety is distinguished by:

• high productivity;
• excellent taste of medium-sized red fruits;
• resistance to diseases such as fusarium and verticillium;
• plant adaptation to temperature changes, drought;
• versatility in using tomatoes.

Determinate tomatoes are suitable for growing both in open and closed ground.

Agricultural technology for growing tomato Village

Usually this variety is grown by seedlings. In this case, it is possible to obtain a harvest earlier than the period indicated in the description of the hybrid.

Also, vegetable growers in regions with a short summer period are engaged in growing the Derevensky tomato through seedlings, so that the entire crop has time to ripen before the onset of cold weather.

Planting seedlings

You can plant seed material in containers - low, but wide and long enough, or a couple of seeds at once in separate cups to avoid picking in the future. If planting containers are used for growing seedlings annually, they should be disinfected with a weak solution of potassium permanganate before planting.

Soil for planting Rustic tomatoes can be purchased at a specialized store for growing vegetable seedlings, or you can prepare it yourself. To do this, take an equal amount of garden soil, humus and compost, add wood ash, and mix everything thoroughly. To disinfect soil prepared at home, you need to spill it with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

Important!

Since this tomato is a hybrid, it is useless to collect seed material from plants, since the grown plants will not have parental qualities. Therefore, for planting, you will have to purchase seeds annually from specialized stores.

Pre-sowing preparation of seeds purchased in a store is carried out by the manufacturer, so before planting the seed, it is enough to soak it for faster germination.

The prepared soil is laid out in containers, moistened and grooves 1.5 cm deep are made at a distance of 3.5 cm from each other.

It is advisable to place the seeds in furrows at a distance of 2.5 cm from each other. After planting, the containers are covered with polyethylene and placed in warm, bright rooms for germination.

Before seed germination, containers should be periodically ventilated and the soil should be moistened with a spray bottle.

After the emergence of seedlings, the polyethylene is removed, and the containers are transferred to a bright room with an air temperature of about 15-17 degrees Celsius for two days.

The soil in the containers must be constantly moist, otherwise the tomato roots will develop more slowly.

Picking tomato seedlings

Picking seedlings of this tomato is carried out only if it was planted in large containers. Tomato seedlings are ready for this procedure when at least 2 true leaves appear on them. In this case, weak seedlings are removed.

The seedlings are planted in separate containers; the composition of the soil in the cups should be the same as in the containers. When transplanting, seedlings should be buried down to the cotyledon leaves.

Transplantation to a permanent place

About a couple of weeks before transplanting the Derevensky tomato seedlings to a permanent place, you should begin to harden them. To do this, containers with seedlings are taken out into the fresh air - at first for a short time, but gradually increasing the time the plants stay outside.

It is necessary to transplant healthy seedlings into garden beds when the threat of return spring frosts has passed.

The beds for planting Derevensky tomatoes are prepared in advance: they are dug up, organic fertilizers and wood ash are added.

No more than 4 plants should be planted on each square of area. Immediately after planting, the seedlings should be watered.

Opinions and recommendations of gardeners

Hybrid tomato 3402 f1 from has earned positive reviews among summer residents planting vegetable crops on their plots. Growing hybrids that adapt to extreme conditions is a profitable investment, so the company's varieties meet the requirements of vegetable growers.

Evgenia Alexandrova, 49 years old, Krasnodar:

“A friend treated Heinz to tomatoes and told him that he makes delicious ketchup from the fruits. I became interested in the hybrid, decided to buy seeds and grow the crop myself. Seed material for seedlings was placed in containers with moistened soil. After the emergence of shoots, I dived into separate containers. For this purpose, I took peat pots; they make it easier to move them to a permanent place. Plants were planted in open ground. A bush with abundant foliage that protects tomatoes from direct sunlight. The hybrid requires nitrogen fertilizers and tolerates high temperatures well. I was pleased with the high yield of dense fruits and the simultaneous yield from the bush. Tomatoes are delicious fresh, but mostly processed into sauce.”

Anatoly Popov, 56 years old, Novorossiysk:

“The Heinz hybrid attracted attention due to the simultaneous ripening of the fruits and the ability to remove most of the crop for processing. The variety is resistant to high temperatures and is convenient to cultivate in open ground. I liked that the company guarantees the quality of the seed, which fully corresponds to the description.”

Every gardening season, farmers strive to plant something new. American breeders presented an interesting new product - the Heinz 3402 F1 tomato, which is easy to care for and produces abundant harvests.

What aspects should you focus on to get a good harvest?

The Heinz variety has no) (including hybrids, all varieties ripen together, which is especially convenient for gardeners. To get a good harvest, experts recommend adhering to the following recommendations:

If you plan to plant plants in open ground, you need to immediately select the most illuminated place. Calculate in advance how many seedlings will be needed, since forcing is carried out at different times. The containers where planting will be carried out must be disinfected (potassium permanganate or vodka is used for this). The soil needs to be forward. Ant

then prepare it (sold ready-made in specialty stores, or make it yourself: caustobiolite + compost + turf soil). Before preparing the soil mixture, all ingredients must be kept frozen for about one week. Seeds definitely need to be prepared: evaluate germination, place in potassium permanganate for disinfection, and keep in a stimulator for 30 minutes. For the best germination time, it is important that it be warm - at least 25 ⁰C. Make sure there is gas exchange. When the first loops appear, the temperature needs to be reduced to +18 ⁰C.

The variety is popular among gardeners due to the fact that it tolerates unfavorable weather conditions well: sudden temperature changes, lack of taste of sufficient moisture, etc. Plants tolerate both heat and cold and continue to bear fruit.

Description of the Stresa tomato variety and its characteristics

The Stresa F1 tomato is a hybrid, bred by Russian breeders. The variety has a number of advantages and has received rave reviews for its productivity. The tomato hybrid “Stresa F1” is mid-early, indeterminate, large-fruited, resistant to many tomato diseases. Created specifically for greenhouse cultivation, but in regions with a stable warm climate, Stresa F1 tomatoes are also grown in open ground. Tomatoes of this variety can be grown all year round in heated greenhouses.

Characteristics and description of the variety: the bush of this hybrid grows up to 1.8-2 m high, so it definitely requires gartering to a vertical or horizontal support. The stem is liana-shaped and flexible. It is necessary to form a stem as the plant grows into 1-2 trunks, which will increase the yield of the bush.

The leaves of the seedlings are light, and when the plant gains growth, they become dark green, slightly elongated.

The plant is tall and spreading, so the Stresa tomato bush is planted using the 50 x 40 cm technology. Per 1 sq. m plant up to 4 plants. The period from seed germination to fruiting of the plant is 110-115 days.

Resistance of the Stresa tomato variety to diseases:

Fruit characteristics

Description of the fruits of the Stresa F1 tomatoes: large, round in shape, with slight ribbing of the barrels, fleshy, sugary at the break. The color of a ripe tomato is bright red. The skin of these tomatoes is tender but dense. Tomatoes of this hybrid variety do not crack.

The variety has a good delicate taste and pleasant aroma. Used fresh, in soups and salads. Small fruits can be preserved in their entirety, and large ones in slices or in the form of juice, puree, or sauce. Reviews of this variety are positive, noting its good presentation and taste.

How to water tomatoes correctly

Proper watering, loosening, and fertilizing the bushes helps to grow abundant tomato harvests.

• You need to water the tomatoes with warm water at about 18-20 degrees, at least 15 degrees.
• It is better if watering is drip. If watering is not drip, then water consumption depends on the age of the plant: from 5 to 10 liters at the root every 8-12 days.
• Watering should be alternated with loosening the soil under the plant bushes. This will protect the planting from the development of fungal diseases and ensure optimal aeration of the bushes.
• Tomatoes "Stresa F1" require humidity in the range of 65-70% for normal pollination and fruit set. High air humidity, in addition to the development of fungus, leads to pollen gluing and pollination of flowers does not occur. Low humidity causes the pollen to scatter and not reach the pistil; in this case, pollination also does not occur and the yield of the bushes decreases.

Fertilizer and feeding of tomato seedlings "Stresa F1"

Hybrid "Stresa F1" is fertilized throughout the entire growing period

It is important that fertilizing of tomatoes is carried out in a timely manner and does not exceed the norm, otherwise the tomatoes can be ruined

• During the formation of seedlings, before picking, they are fertilized twice with liquid fertilizers for plant growth, with an interval of 7-10 days.
• When transplanting to a permanent place, water or dip the root system in the Fitosporin-M solution, which prevents infection with fungal infections and feeds the plant with microelements.

Description and characteristics of the variety

Tomato Heinz 3402 F1 is an early hybrid, the ripening of fruits of which begins 85 days after emergence.

Tomato characteristics include:

• weight varies from 60 to 150 g;
• color bright red;
• cuboid or round shape;
• universal application;
• the pulp is moderately juicy, dense;
• the skin is durable.

The bushes are compact, medium-sized. The height does not exceed 0.8-1 m. 6-7 tomatoes ripen on the clusters at a time.

Varieties

Heinz hybrids consist of a wide group of tomatoes, mostly very early ones. All are distinguished by good product and taste criteria, neat tomatoes.

Early varieties

They are represented by hybrid 1015, which produces a harvest within 95 days from germination. Characterized by marketability and disease resistance. Brings deep red cube-shaped tomatoes.

Tomato 2206 Heinz is another important representative of the group. It is very early and bears fruit from mid-June.

Early ripening cuboid tomato

Refers to 1100 Heinz. The fruits have a characteristic cube shape, excellent taste, weight in the range of 70-90 g. Productivity is high.

Mid-season hybrid

This is 1370 Heinz. Brings round tomatoes, neat and even. Weight reaches 150 g.

What are the possible disadvantages of growing hybrid tomatoes?

When purchasing seeds of a favorite variety, an experienced gardener analyzes its characteristics at the end of the season: early ripeness, yield, taste, color, care features. If everything suits him, he selects high-quality ripe fruits and releases seeds from them. Next year you can use your own seeds. All varietal qualities are preserved.

In the case of F1 hybrids, seeds will have to be purchased annually; it makes no sense to purchase the hybrid form yourself. The second generation may unpleasantly surprise:

• the bushes will be of different heights;
• fruits may vary in color, shape, size;
• low yield;
• if the manufacturer doesn't release a given hybrid for whatever reason, you're stuck. Once the seed is gone, it's gone forever.

Peculiarities

Among the features of Heinz tomatoes are:

1. High yield on an industrial scale;
2. Powerful bushes;
3. They are extremely rarely susceptible to fusarium, verticillosis, and bacteriosis;
4. Wide range of fruit uses (fresh, canned);
5. Simultaneous maturation (90%);
6. Adaptive abilities;
7. Color, taste, structure of the fruit;
8. Field endurance.

And most importantly, the tomato is not whimsical.
It is necessary to select good seeds and grow strong and stable seedlings. Heinz hybrid varieties are characterized by massive ripening, up to 97%. This allows you to harvest at one time.

Self-propelled and trailed harvesters make harvesting much easier - they independently separate the fruits from the stems and sort them by color.

The plant needs watering, weeding, loosening and fertilizing - the degree of yield depends on this. The soil should be soft, it is advisable that zucchini, cucumbers or carrots grow there before the tomatoes.

Tomato Donald F1: benefits

Tomatoes from Dutch producers are quite popular among Russian gardeners and farmers. Donald is a new generation hybrid that combines productivity, disease resistance, and unpretentiousness.

Also worth noting:

• ultra-earliness of tomato;
• compact size of the bushes, which allows you to place the required number of plants in limited areas;
• versatility of fruit use;
• friendly return of the harvest;
• excellent taste.

For industrial tomatoes, important qualities are the uniformity of the fruit, rich color, and the suitability of the tomatoes for harvesting using machinery. Hybrid Donald fully meets these requirements; it is not without reason that it is increasingly being chosen for cultivation on large farms. This tomato will also please ordinary gardeners who like to grow truss tomatoes.

Among the disadvantages, it should be noted that Donald is a hybrid, and, as you know, seeds are not collected from them for sowing. If you want to grow this tomato, you will need to purchase seeds before each season.

Industrial cultivation of tomato

The Heinz 3402 tomato was created for cultivation for the purpose of processing, so it is planted on large areas of land and harvested using combines. Cultivation agricultural technology is associated with planning the planting of vegetable crops, taking into account the turning lanes for harvesting equipment.

The distance between the rows is more than 1.2 m. Mechanized harvesting is not capable of damaging the fruits due to the dense skin and the same pulp of the hybrid. The first harvest makes up 90% of the total number of fruits, so they are used for processing on an industrial scale.

Self-propelled and trailed combine harvesters are used to mechanize the harvesting process. The technique helps separate fruits from stems, sort ripe and green tomatoes, and remove spoiled tomatoes.
