Tomato Love F1: a good hybrid for any purpose

Tomato Lyubov F1 is one of many representatives of modern hybrids that is not difficult to grow. The plant is easy to care for, and the tasty and beautiful fruits will satisfy the needs of the most demanding gardener. This hybrid is accompanied mainly by only positive reviews from gardeners.

Description of the tomato variety Lyubov

Tomato Love is the development of Yuri Ivanovich Pantchev, who mainly deals with tomatoes and peppers. The hybrid was registered in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation in 2006 and is intended for planting in any region. It is recommended for personal subsidiary plots and other small-scale farms; it is grown both in unprotected soil and under film covers: depending on the climate of the region, one or the other option is more suitable.

The Lyubov tomato is a determinate variety, but the bush, especially in a greenhouse, can grow quite tall - more than a meter. Therefore, plant formation and stem tying are necessary procedures.

The leaves are green and of normal size. The first flower cluster is formed after the seventh or eighth leaf, the next ones after one or two. 5-6 tomatoes are formed in the brush.

In terms of harvest ripening, the tomato is mid-season. The tomatoes are medium-sized, weighing 50–75 g, regular round in shape, with barely noticeable ribbing. No cracking is observed. When ripe, they are colored red and contain 4 or more seed nests. The taste is rated excellent. The main use is for salads, but the shape and size of the tomatoes allow them to be preserved as a whole.

The yield of the hybrid is average, just over 5 kg/m2. It has increased resistance to diseases, especially resistant to verticillium and fusarium. No cracking of the fruits was observed even in damp weather or when left on the bushes.

Features of the Lyubov F1 hybrid from different manufacturers

Seeds of the hybrid Lyubov F1 are produced by different companies. The data indicated on the bags may differ slightly from that provided in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation. For example, it claims that the hybrid is early ripening and the first fruits ripen within 100 days after sowing, and weigh 200–250 g, although most of the information on the packaging is true. in a similar situation, he reports that the yield of the hybrid is four (!) times higher than that declared by the author and stated in the official document. Therefore, the video below should be treated with skepticism.

Advantages and disadvantages

There are quite a lot of varieties and hybrids of tomatoes similar to the one under consideration; it is nothing outstanding, but, like any modern hybrid, it has many more advantages than disadvantages.

The fruits of the Love tomato are ordinary small red balls

The advantages of the Love tomato are:

• excellent presentation of the fruit;
• evenness of tomatoes, i.e. all tomatoes are approximately the same size;
• good transportability;
• no cracking under any conditions;
• good drought resistance;
• increased resistance to diseases;
• excellent taste, not always typical for tomatoes of this shape and size;
• versatility of application.

Among the disadvantages of the hybrid, they note the not very good yield, which strongly depends on the fertility of the soil, as well as the need for the formation and staking of bushes, which can be dispensed with for many determinate varieties.

Differences from other varieties

When considering the Love tomato, you need to be very careful and critical of the information provided on the Internet. And this is not only a matter of malicious intent, but often also of carelessness: there are several varieties of tomatoes with similar names:

• Earthly love by the same author, bearing fruit with tomatoes weighing at least 200 g;
• Lyubushka: this variety has a high yield, but the taste of fresh fruit is rated only as good;
• hybrid My Love by breeder L.A. Myazina, which has nothing to do with the tomato in question;
• Novosibirsk variety Early Love, most of the indicators of which, with the exception of the ripening period, are similar to those of the Lyubov tomato.

Harvest

The fruits have a classic flat round shape. Painted red, almost burgundy. Without a green spot on the stalk. The average weight varies between 200–230 g . Tomatoes from the first harvest are always slightly larger.

The pulp is very juicy and sugary, with a high content of vitamins. There are few seed chambers - up to 6 pieces. Dry matter content is only 5–6%. Tomatoes are suitable for preparing preparations for the winter. But they taste best when fresh.

Harvest and storage

The ripe harvest of “My Love” tomatoes is harvested at the end of August.
It is important not to delay the time so that frost does not start, otherwise the tomatoes will not be stored well. You should not harvest in the early morning or late evening - dew will shorten the storage time of such fruits

When ripe, tomatoes are easy to tear off from the stem. You can also pick green or slightly brown tomatoes and send them for ripening, but their taste will be worse, although they are stored better.

Did you know? Tomatoes began to be mentioned in cookbooks in Italy
at the beginning of the 17th century.
Tomatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days by rubbing them with vodka or alcohol and wrapping them in paper.

In the basement, tomatoes are stored in boxes made of wood or plastic, sprinkled with sawdust or wrapped in paper. You cannot lay more than 3 layers; the tails must be directed upward.

You can store fresh tomatoes loosely folded in a sterile glass jar and sprinkled with mustard powder. The jar is rolled up, the tomatoes are pre-washed and dried. In this form they can be stored for up to 5 months.

Find out how and where you can store tomatoes.

Growing

“Earthly Love” is grown in the usual way for tomatoes. 1.5–2 months before transplanting to the dacha, the seeds are sown. To improve the germination rate, it is recommended to soak them overnight in a growth stimulator. Or aloe juice - its natural analogue.

The seeds are placed in a container with a soil mixture (turf soil, humus, river sand) and sprinkled with a 1–2 cm layer of peat. Before germination, they are kept warm, covered with film. After germination, they are moved to a place well lit by the sun. If there is a lack of natural light, the seedlings are illuminated with a phytolamp.

In May or June, the bushes are transplanted into garden beds. The recommended scheme is 4 plants per 1 m2 . Thickening provokes the occurrence of fungus or pests. After the first inflorescence appears, the formation of a trunk of 2 stems begins. Remove the shoots and lower leaves regularly.

The variety responds well to complex fertilizing with potassium and phosphorus. The latter is not recommended to be applied to the soil if the air temperature drops below 15˚C. When the fruits begin to ripen, you need to apply only organic fertilizers.

The variety is immune to many diseases. But sometimes plants are affected by Phoma . In this case, you need to remove the affected parts of the plant. Treat the remaining ones with the preparation “Hom”. Preventive treatment with insecticides will get rid of pests.

Agrotechnics of cultivation

In order to successfully cultivate Love tomatoes, you need to take care of purchasing seeds in advance. Even experienced gardeners cannot obtain seeds of this variety on their own, since it is a hybrid (F1).

Anyone can easily find varietal seeds in specialized stores. You can do this on the Internet as well. Agro and Myazina L.A. produce and distribute seed material. A bag of seeds (0.1-0.3 g) costs 24-30 rubles.

Important! The germination rate of the variety's seeds is 95-100%

Growing seedlings

Seeds for seedlings should be sown in the second ten days of March. Before planting in the ground, it is advisable to soak them in a growth activator. Highly effective biostimulants are best suited for this role. Proper use of drugs has a beneficial effect not only on the process of seed germination, but also helps to increase crop productivity and resistance to phytodiseases.

Such universal non-toxic products include the drug “Elin”. It increases the germination of tomato seeds by 15-21% and reduces the content of dangerous nitrates in them. In order to soak the seeds, take only 3 drops of the substance and dilute them in 100 g of water. Plants of the My Love variety are picked at the stage of the second true leaf.

Note! Elin's solution is good to use to strengthen seedlings when transplanting into a greenhouse. To do this, prepare a solution from one ampoule of the drug and 5 liters of water.

Newly transplanted seedlings are watered at the root.

Transplanting seedlings into the ground

Seedlings of early varieties should be hardened off for 14-10 days before transplanting into the greenhouse. The recommended time for transplantation is the first half of May.

For the successful growth of tomatoes, the real formula of Love, according to the characteristics and description of the variety, can be highly fertile soil. You can also increase productivity if you plant plants at a distance of at least 0.4-0.45 m between bushes.

Planting tomato seedlings in the ground

Any summer resident who follows the basic rules for caring for tomatoes has a chance to get the declared yield of 20 kg/m².

Considering that this plant is determinant, the yield indicators are very good. Bushes in a greenhouse can grow up to 1.3 m; in the ground their height is slightly less. There are many leaves formed on the bushes, they are of medium size, the color of the leaf plates is traditionally green.

The first brush, simple in structure, is formed in the axil of the 7th (less often 9) leaf. It is necessary to leave the stepson located under this brush to obtain the desired shape of the bush. The characteristics and description of the variety contain brief recommendations for its formation. A second stem will develop from the abandoned stepson, and all newly formed stepsons in the axils of the leaves will need to be removed in a timely manner.

1. How to use yeast, iodine, ash, hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, boric acid as a top dressing?
2. How to feed plants when picking, seedlings and what is foliar feeding.
3. TOP best fertilizers and which ready-made complexes should be used?

Growing tomatoes

“Earthly love” is grown traditionally - through seedlings with subsequent planting in a permanent place.

How to prepare seeds?

Seeds go on sale already processed and ready for planting. To improve germination and speed up the growing season, you can carry out one of the following procedures :

• Soak in water for 12 hours before sowing. The seeds absorb moisture, swell, and when they fall into the ground they begin to grow rapidly. The best results can be achieved when using melt water;
• Bubbling is an advanced method of pre-sowing preparation that involves exposing seeds to saturated oxygen. It is done simply: an aquarium compressor is installed in the container with soaked seeds, continuously pumping air.

Pre-planting treatment can reduce the total growing season by a week.

Sowing seed material

Seeds are sown in March - early April, approximately 50 days before the date of the last spring frost, after which the seedlings can be transplanted to a permanent place. Any container equipped with drainage holes will do for sowing. Usually planted in a wooden box with a low side (5 cm). The best soil for planting is a mixture of turf and humus in equal proportions, with the addition of sand.

Sowing is carried out using one of two methods:

1. Solid. The seeds are laid out on the surface of the ground, then sprinkled with peat to a depth of 1 cm;
2. Tape. Planting is carried out in pre-made furrows 2 cm deep, followed by leveling the ground.

The distance between the seeds should be at least 2 cm. Immediately after sowing, the seedlings are watered abundantly and covered with film until seedlings emerge. In the future, you need to maintain a temperature of 20-24*C in the room with the seedlings, constantly water the soil and periodically feed with complex fertilizers or a solution of superphosphate, urea, and potassium sulfate.

Recommended feeding schedule:

• The first feeding is 10 days after picking;
• Subsequent feedings - 14 days after the previous one and so on until planting in the garden.

Rules for planting seedlings

Seedlings are planted in a permanent place when the ground warms up to 10-12*C, and the air warms up to at least 15*C. Approximate landing times in mid-latitudes :

• Beginning - mid-April - in a stationary greenhouse;
• End of April - to the greenhouse;
• On the 20th of May - in open ground.

Replanting must be done carefully, removing the plant with a large lump of earth so as not to damage the root system. For the same reason, you need to immediately think about a post or trellis for a future garter. A “nutrient cushion” of humus, peat and wood ash is laid under each bush.

Recommended planting pattern:

• The interval between plants is 50 cm;
• Row spacing – 70 cm;
• The depth of the planting hole is 15 cm.

Tomato Persian Tale - description and characteristics of the variety

There is a wide variety of tomatoes with early ripening. But not all are suitable for (types of cultivation in open ground or film shelters. One of the unpretentious varieties to grow and care for is “Persian Tale”. We will talk about it in this article.

The hybrid tolerates changes in weather conditions well. Has high productivity. The root crop ripens in mid-summer. The fruits appear after 104 - 107 days after the seeds hatch.

The tomato is a determinate variety and has abundant foliage. The first color brushes are formed above the 5th – 6th leaf. Flowers appear through one leaf.

The bush grows 50 - 60 centimeters upward; it is stocky enough and does not require garter. Take each brush and ripen 5 – 7 fruits.

In greenhouses you can collect 10 to 12 kilograms of ripe and tasty vegetables from one square meter.

Fruits

They have a dense consistency inside, a smooth skin with slight ribbing on top of a bright orange color. Each fruit weighs from 130 to 150 grams. The taste is rich. Contains about 40% sugars, carotene and ascorbic acid.

Cloudy and cloudy weather makes this tomato cheap. It sets well and produces large fruits even in bad weather. It has brilliant immunity to many types of fungal and viral diseases. Especially to tobacco mosaic and Alternaria.

This effect was achieved by breeders by crossing a large number of varieties.

Growing

Grows well in open ground in warm regions; for the coolest areas they resort to shelter in greenhouses and hotbeds

Before planting tomatoes in gesso, it is important to grow the seedlings in warm conditions: at home on a windowsill or in an industrial heated greenhouse

Before sowing, the seeds are soaked in a solution with salt. Thus, healthy moura remain at the bottom of the vessel, and bad ones float to the surface. Afterwards, the selected seeds are soaked in a manganese solution for 10 - 15 minutes, then in a growth stimulator.

Today, they are placed in boxes in holes or trenches at a depth of 1.5–2 centimeters from the surface and at a distance of 2–3 cm from each other. This arrangement helps in the future to pick tomatoes without disturbing the root system. The soil is prepared in advance by adding turf, humus and sand in a ratio of 2:2:1.

After the emergence of seedlings, the dugout is removed and the temperature is lowered by 2 degrees to slightly slow down the multiplication of plants. Such tomatoes will be stocky and will not stretch out in the ground.

When 2–3 leaves appear, pick the tomatoes, placing each plant in each pot or container for seedlings.

It is best to use special peat pots, which are sold in any departments and stores made by gardeners. The peat pot does not need to be removed.

What should you do? Apply fertilizers and water the tomatoes in a timely manner. They are irrigated once a year as promised, but with a lot of water. One watering per week is sufficient.

There are no words, during frequent rains it is important to regulate the moisture of the soil, perhaps in such weather the crop needs to stop watering even less often

Timely feeding will help the tomato develop like a plane tree, and it will give a good harvest. Mineral and organic fertilizers are applied 2–3 times during the mushroom season. It is not necessary to fertilize more often. Due to the large amount of nitrogen, the seedlings will devote all their efforts not to the formation of the fruit, but to the swelling of the leaves.

You can find a large number of reviews about the “Persian Tale” variety on various portals and forums. Review authors write about the positive results of growing and harvesting. The main group of gardeners agrees with the presented characteristics of this variety, which are indicated by the manufacturer.

Irina Nikolaevna, 53 years old: Last year I tried to plant the “Persian Fairy Tale” variety, I really liked the characteristics. The manufacturer did not deceive

It is important that the bushes are low, easier to process. I was especially pleased with the flooding once a week or less

There are a lot of plants on the site, I need to pay attention to them all, but I don’t always have time. And this variety is just a showdown for me. Apart from watering it, I rarely fed it. Excellent tomatoes have grown. My family tried the trend. My granddaughter especially liked them. She asked me for tomatoes this year too.

I'll grab this variety.

Bush care

The main rules of agricultural technology for growing “Earthly Love”:

• Formation. In a greenhouse, plants form 1-2 stems, in open ground - 2-3. Bushes should be regularly inspected for stepsons, which should be removed when they reach a length of 5-7 cm;
• Garter. Due to the high foliage and large-fruited clusters, the stem of the plant falls to the ground. To prevent this from happening, the bushes are tied to a post immediately after transplantation;
