Growing and caring for the Pablo variety

To grow a tomato or any other crop, you need to put in a lot of effort. Growing a tomato begins with planting seeds in a greenhouse. First you need to prepare the soil in which the seeds will be sown. Let's look at the process of growing tomatoes step by step:

1. 7-8 days before planting tomatoes in a greenhouse, fertilize the soil with peat or humus. The soil needs to be dug well and made loose. If the soil is dense, it will be difficult for young roots to grow, which means the plant will slow down its growth.
2. Disinfect the soil with a manganese solution or synthetically produced biological preparations (Fitosporin, Trichodermin). The soil must be saturated to at least 30-40 centimeters.
3. Seeds must be soaked before planting so that young shoots are stronger and more resilient. For impregnation, you can use a one percent manganese solution or the growth stimulator "Epin".

4. Seeds are sown at a distance of 2 centimeters from each other. Such a gap between plants will allow them to develop normally and not shade each other. Before planting, the soil is compacted and watered with warm water. After placing the seeds, the soil must again be watered with warm water.
5. For 50-60 days, the seedlings should be in the greenhouse. Optimal climatic conditions combine: +23-25 ​​degree thermal conditions, 60% air humidity. Plants are hardened off ten days before planting in open soil.
6. Before placing the sprouts, the wells need to be watered and fertilized with mineral fertilizer. One plant will require a teaspoon of “Nitrophoska” or any other complex fertilizer.
7. In the second week after planting the seedlings, install a support. It can be made from an ordinary tree branch (the main condition for a peg is a diameter of at least 4 cm), or an iron rod.
8. After the plant takes root, the stage of caring for a tall tomato begins. Care Tips:

• the plant is formed into two stems;
• the stepsons are cut off as the plant grows and is tied up. The shoots should not be allowed to outgrow. Cutting off large shoots harms the normal development of the tomato;
• Water consumption per bush is 5-8 liters in moderate weather. It is recommended to water no more than once every 5 days;

• the soil under the plants can be mulched. Mulch will help maintain soil moisture, protect the root system from being washed out during heavy rains, and reduce the germination of weeds;
• It is imperative to fertilize during tomato flowering so that the plant has the strength to set large fruits;
• the beds must be weeded at least three times during the entire growing season;
• monitor the condition of the plant. If signs of diseases or pests appear, treat the bushes with chemicals. The main thing is to follow the dosage and safety rules.

Features of agricultural technology

The Pablo F1 tomato is cultivated in the same way as other hybrids of this type.

The basic rules are:

1. Simultaneously with planting, a trellis is built on the bed or stakes are installed to tie up long stems.
2. To get an earlier harvest, the tomato is formed into 1-2 stems. This procedure is carried out strictly according to the rules, otherwise the plant becomes vulnerable to pathogens.
3. Leaves at the bottom of the shoots are regularly removed. This way the tomato is better illuminated by the sun and ventilated.
4. During prolonged drought, tomatoes become smaller and crack, so watering should be provided.

Attention! Some gardeners leave all the stems on indeterminate varieties. However, this is not advisable. As a result, a lot of green mass is formed to the detriment of the fruits.

Planting is carried out in greenhouse conditions or in prepared areas with fertilized soil. Tomato Polfast f1 is characterized by good fruit set at low and high temperatures.

General characteristics of the tomato Funtik f1 and description of the fruits of the hybrid variety

Many gardeners organize tomato yield competitions.

If a summer resident wants to surprise his neighbors, he should pay attention to the Funtik f1 tomato. These are large tomatoes that give a very good harvest

Their taste is simply excellent. Despite the fact that tomatoes are quite large, they have a universal purpose and are suitable for various uses. But still, Funtik tomatoes have gained the greatest popularity as an ingredient in salad. Their delicate sweet taste makes them an ideal addition to summer vegetable appetizers.

Funtik is a hybrid, so only original seeds purchased from the manufacturer should be used for cultivation. In this case, you can get ideal fruits with good weight and excellent taste. The Funtik variety was specially bred by Russian specialists. It has universal characteristics, so it is suitable for both open ground and greenhouses. The yield will be high in any case.

Description of the variety

This hybrid is classified as an indeterminate type. This suggests that the plant can have unlimited growth, so it should be pinched at the top. It is advisable to do this when the tomato reaches the 2 meter mark.

If you do not carry out the pinching procedure, the plant can stretch above 2.5 meters. In greenhouse conditions, the tomato can be even larger. But this has a bad effect on yield, since the tomato gives a lot of energy to the greens instead of saturating the fruits.

The plant grows very tall, but not too spreading, so the planting pattern for the bushes can be quite dense. You can place 6 tomatoes per 1 m².

Hybrid Funtik produces a large number of fruits. They are formed on brushes, of which there can be up to 12 pieces on each bush. There are 6 large tomatoes in one bunch.

The big advantage is that the plant produces all its fruits at once. This is convenient for those who grow tomatoes for canning. The productivity of the Funtik hybrid is very high. With proper agricultural technology, gardeners harvest up to 10 kg of delicious tomatoes from each bush.

But the manufacturer assures that this hybrid is highly resistant to late blight, verticillium and tobacco mosaic.

The tomatoes turn out quite large. Their average weight is 230 g. The color of the fruit is red, and the taste is sweet and very pleasant.

In addition, they are considered an excellent addition to summer vegetable salad.

The fruits of this variety have a fairly dense skin, so they can be easily transported even over long distances without the risk of losing their presentation.
