The description of Pervoklaska tomatoes and their fruits does not end with their excellent appearance. It turns out that the composition of tomatoes is simply unique. It contains:

• complex of microelements and vitamins;
• purines, which speed up metabolism;
• lycopene to strengthen the immune system.

Important! The fruits are recommended by nutritionists for children's and gentle diets.

Application of tomatoes

The fruits of the Pervoklaska variety are added to salads, preserved in slices, and used to make juice, ketchup and adjika. Tomatoes have medicinal properties that are not inherent in every variety. The pulp contains a large amount of such useful substances:

• sugar and lycopene;
• antioxidants;
• vitamins;
• purines.

Lycopene, which Pervoklaska tomatoes contain in large quantities, improves immunity, prevents the development of atherosclerosis, and suppresses the activity of bacteria. To prevent cancer, tomatoes should be eaten at least once every 3 days.

Purines accelerate the absorption of nutrients and help quickly saturate the body. Pink tomatoes are recommended for those who want to lose weight. They are included in dietary and baby food. Tomato Pervoklaska is useful for former smokers. It helps break down resins and remove toxic substances and toxins from the body.

On a note! Tomatoes ripened in the summer under the sun's rays are doubly healthy.
Substances formed under the influence of ultraviolet radiation protect the body from infection and the skin from sunburn. Tomatoes are harvested when ripe and brown. In a warm room, unripe fruits reach the desired condition, acquiring a pink color. They are laid out in boxes and lowered into a cellar or basement. Damaged tomatoes are sent for processing.

Characteristics of tomatoes Pervoklaska

Tomatoes are cultivated in greenhouses and open ground. Southern farmers prefer the second method, while northern farmers prefer the first. Regardless of the growing region, the gardener can get an early harvest of tomatoes. Therefore, farmers and summer residents plant Pervoklaska tomatoes on their plots. Farmers are attracted by the fact that pink fruits are stored for a long time and tolerate transportation well.

Productivity and fruiting

Summer residents who follow all the rules for growing ultra-early tomatoes can get pink tomatoes already in mid-July. The yield of the variety is high - 4.5–6 kg of tomatoes are harvested from a bush during the growing season. This fact about the productivity of the Pervoklaska tomato is confirmed by reviews from farmers and ordinary gardeners, as well as photos of the fruit.

Do not forget that nightshade crops that produce pink tomatoes immediately respond to deteriorating cultivation conditions. In a First-grader, the number of ovaries decreases when:

• sudden changes in temperature;
• increasing air humidity.

Therefore, gardeners must constantly monitor the climatic conditions in the greenhouse.

Area of ​​application of fruits

Housewives use pink tomatoes of the Pervoklaska variety as follows:

1. Place them fresh in salads.
2. Tomato juice, homemade ketchup and adjika are prepared.
3. Canned separately or with other vegetables.

Tomatoes are harvested at blanche or technical ripeness. In the first case, they are placed indoors and waited until the tomatoes turn pink. In the second, they are used for cooking, canning or storage.

Attention! The fruits of the Pervoklaska variety are stored for a long time in a cool, dry place.

Resistance to diseases and pests

Tomatoes of the Pervoklaska variety, due to their special sensitivity to adverse weather conditions, often get sick and are attacked by insect pests. The farmer will have to put in enough effort to prevent or treat tomatoes:

1. Organize the correct ventilation mode for the greenhouse with tomatoes.
2. Sprinkling should be carried out in compliance with the norms for watering ultra-early tomatoes.
3. Do not plant different varieties of tomatoes in a greenhouse.
4. Before planting seedlings, thoroughly water the soil in the greenhouse with a solution of manganese.
5. Do not thicken the tomato plantings.
6. Remove weeds, shoots and yellowed leaf blades in a timely manner.

Warning! First-grader tomato bushes are often affected by late blight.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Farmers highlight the following advantages of the variety:

• excellent yield;
• simple agricultural technology;
• the ability to cultivate indoors and outdoors;
• early and friendly ripening of fruits;
• long fruiting period;
• attractive appearance;
• excellent taste;
• versatility of use.

And the disadvantages of the variety were:

• low resistance to diseases;
• the need to constantly carry out pinching and formation of the stem;
• the need of tomatoes for increased fertilizing.

But in most cases, reviews from farmers and ordinary summer residents about the Pervoklaska tomato are only positive.

Advantages and disadvantages

Every plant has its pros and cons. Pervoklaska tomatoes are no exception, about which there are many reviews and photos, more positive than negative.

Advantages:

• bright, sweet, expressive taste;
• early maturation;
• uniform yield of the harvest - fruits on several clusters ripen almost simultaneously;
• high productivity;
• good keeping quality;
• excellent transportability;
• long fruiting period.

But besides the wonderful advantages, the tomato also has disadvantages:

• determinacy can limit the growth of the bush, additional brushes will stop forming, which will limit the yield;
• demands for more enhanced mineral nutrition;
• susceptibility to diseases, in particular late blight.

Limiting the growth of the bush, of course, limits the number of fruits, but the high yield of the variety, smooth ripening and excellent taste of tomatoes still delight those who like to eat aromatic pink sweet tomatoes.

Growing rules

Despite the fact that tomatoes of this variety are unpretentious, they require constant care. Only if proper agricultural practices are followed will the nightshade plant bear fruit.

Planting seedlings

Seedlings of the Pervoklaska variety should have a thick stem and be short by the time they are placed in the ground. Only compact young plants guarantee a large harvest.

Experienced gardeners recommend following this algorithm for planting Pervoklaska tomatoes for seedlings:

1. Planting material is purchased in stores that have been selling for more than one year.
2. The seeds are soaked in melt water for 3–4 days. During this time, tiny shoots will appear. Ungerminated seeds are thrown away.
3. The containers are treated with boiling water and filled with soil.
   Advice! It's better to buy soil. After all, then the summer resident will not have to spend precious time preparing a fertilized mixture of humus and soil.
4. The sprouted seeds are transferred to a container, maintaining a distance of about 2 cm between them, and covered with earth.
5. The soil is moistened with a spray bottle.
6. The containers are wrapped in film and kept warm. After friendly shoots appear, the film is removed.
7. Picking is carried out after the appearance of the second true leaf. Young plants are periodically watered and fed 2-3 times.

Transfer

The timing of transplanting tomatoes into the ground depends on the area and on what greenhouse the seedlings are placed in. After all, if it is heated, then the gardener can plant tomatoes immediately after the ground thaws. When there is a threat of frost, cover the bushes and turn on the heating in the greenhouse. And seedlings are planted in a regular greenhouse after the threat of frost has passed. In the southern regions, tomato seeds are planted in warm soil.

At the very beginning, prepare the soil. The ridges are dug up and complex fertilizer is applied. Then prepare holes 45 cm apart, rows are made half a meter apart. Tomato seedlings are transferred into the holes, the soil is compacted and watered. In the next 10–14 days, do not water or fertilize.

Aftercare

Sprinkling is done with warm water that has stood for at least a day, early in the morning or late in the evening according to the following scheme:

To make the soil dry out less, mulch is laid out on it - dry grass or rotted sawdust.

Experienced summer residents carry out the following feeding:

Tomato bushes are tied up and shaped weekly. Usually 3 peduncles are left.

Tomatoes are sure to be planted.

Features of cultivation, planting and care

We recommend sowing the seeds of this tomato variety for seedlings 55-60 days before the intended planting in the ground. Seedlings dive at the stage of two true leaves. When planting seedlings in a permanent place per 1 sq. Place 3-4 plants per meter of prepared area.

Further care for tomatoes consists of timely watering, fertilizing with complex mineral fertilizer, pinching and preventive measures to protect against diseases and pests.

This is a natural variety of tomato. Therefore, we recommend taking seeds from a ripe fruit and using them for planting in subsequent seasons.

Pest and disease control

If a fungal infection occurs, the bushes are immediately treated with Bordeaux mixture. The affected parts of the tomatoes are destroyed. To avoid infection in the next summer season, in late autumn the greenhouse is washed with soapy water and fumigated with sulfur bombs.

Attacks by the Colorado potato beetle, aphids, ticks and slugs cannot be avoided if the summer resident does not periodically:

• inspect the bushes;
• spray them with insecticides;
• treat with infusions of bitter plants.

These procedures will reduce the likelihood of pest attacks and tomato diseases.

How to plant in open ground

It is advisable to plant tomatoes after root vegetables, legumes, cucumbers, cabbage, green manure, garlic and onions.

You can return to the old site only after 3 years. Potatoes, peppers and eggplants are not the best predecessors of tomatoes, as they suffer from the same infections.

In the fall, the beds intended for tomatoes need to be dug up. Each square of land is fertilized with superphosphate, organic matter and potassium salt.

In the spring, the soil is loosened and depressions are made. The distance between tomatoes should be 40 cm, row spacing should be 50 cm. In greenhouses and greenhouses, a checkerboard arrangement of plants is convenient. Then the culture will have enough light, and it will become easier to care for it.

The seedlings are moved into the hole along with a lump of earth. Then the soil is compacted and watered. The Pervoklaska tomato takes root in a new place in about 7-10 days. It is advisable not to water or feed the plant at this time.

Variety care

According to gardeners, tomatoes bear fruit well if all the recommendations of experts are followed. This applies to watering, fertilizers and pinching, which is carried out so that the bushes do not thicken.

How to water

For the procedure, warm, settled water is taken. The soil is irrigated in the evening or morning, when there is no direct sunlight. After this, the greenhouse needs to be ventilated and the soil loosened so that the moisture is better absorbed.

At different periods of tomato development, a certain intensity of watering is necessary:

• before flowering – 4 l. water per plant once a week;
• during the formation of flowers - once every three days, 2 liters. on a bush;
• when fruits are forming - once a week, 3 liters.

High humidity is unacceptable; it leads to fungal infections and slower growth of tomatoes. Fruits crack if there is too much water. If there is not enough moisture, the foliage curls and turns yellow.

How to feed

Tomato bushes provide nutrients 3-4 times a season. The first treatment is carried out with mullein diluted in water. For each bush there is 1 liter. the resulting solution.

After 3 weeks, “Pervoklaska” is fertilized with a chemical composition. The solution includes superphosphate in the amount of 160 g, potassium nitrate - 40 g per 10 liters. water. Potassium and phosphorus are necessary for the vegetable to strengthen the roots and improve the taste of tomatoes. Fertilizer is added to the soil twice, when the plant forms ovaries and bears fruit.

Wood ash can be used instead of minerals. Fertilizer is added to the soil or water the day before watering.

You don’t have to carry out root feeding, but simply spray the tomatoes. In this case, the content of substances should be less. For 10 l. 10 g of phosphorus and 15 g of potassium mixture is enough water.

How to form bushes

Plants should consist of 3 stems and be tied to a support. The stepsons that grow from the leaf axils are cut off. The development of shoots should be monitored weekly.

The first-grader needs a garter so that the bush does not become deformed. The support can be a wooden or metal plank.
