Distinctive features

The table summarizes the main characteristics of the Polonaise hybrid.

Early ripe tomatoes

This group of varieties and hybrids is also very diverse. The harvest from them is harvested a little later than from the ultra-early ones, so this must be taken into account when sowing seeds and planting plants in the ground.

This variety is available in two varieties - with red and yellow fruits. It was bred in Siberia, and therefore is excellent for regions of risky farming. It can be called a tomato for the lazy, since it does not require pruning or garter, and the harvest will still please you.

One of the best early ripening varieties for fresh consumption.

Also note such early ripening tomatoes as Dobrun F1, Assol, Zarevo F1.

And if you want early-ripening exotics, you can try planting the Boloto variety.

Swamp

The variety is recommended for cultivation in greenhouses.

The plant is of an indeterminate type and has corrugated leaves.

The height of the bush is up to one and a half meters.

The planting scheme for this miracle is three bushes per 1 square meter. meter.

The fruits begin to ripen 95-100 days after emergence.

The tomatoes are round and green when ripe. Weight - up to 200 grams, but there are specimens up to 350 g. The taste is pleasant, slightly unusual with sourness.

Growing seedlings

Polonaise tomatoes are among the ultra-early ripening tomatoes. Sowing of seedlings is carried out in March, two months before transferring to the ground

Preparing seeds and soil for sowing

Hybrid seeds are disinfected in production, so they do not need to be soaked in disinfecting compounds. In addition, the seed material is distinguished by its rapid germination rate.

The soil for sowing seeds is prepared independently from black soil, peat, humus, mixed in equal quantities. Then add 20 g of superphosphate and wood ash for every 10 kg. Ready-made soil mixture for tomatoes from stores is also suitable. It already contains all the necessary nutrients.

The soil is calcined in advance in a microwave, oven, or poured with a strong solution of potassium permanganate.

The seedling boxes are filled with moist soil and furrows of 1.5 cm are made. The seeds are laid out at a distance of 2 cm and sprinkled with a layer of soil on top. Water with warm water using a syringe or sprayer and cover with film or glass to create a greenhouse effect.

Shoots appear at an air temperature of +25 °C in 4-5 days. The soil is ventilated daily for 15–20 minutes to prevent mold from appearing.

Seedling care

After the sprouts appear, the boxes are taken to a well-lit place, the film or glass is removed. To prevent seedlings from stretching upward when there is a lack of sunlight, phytolamps are placed nearby.

The seedlings are watered as the top layer of soil dries.

Picking into individual containers made of peat or plastic is done after 2-3 true leaves appear.

Thanks to the efforts of biologists, Polonaise tomato seedlings grow strong without the need for additional fertilizing.

Advice . A week before planting seedlings in the ground, take the containers out into fresh air to harden for 15–30 minutes.

Description of early ripe tomatoes of the June variety and agricultural cultivation technology

The June tomato, popular among gardeners, is one of the modern universal varieties that is suitable for cultivation in the most difficult climatic conditions.

Features of the variety

June tomato bushes belong to the determinate variety. In practice, this means that the growth of the main stem stops after the formation of 4-5 inflorescences. After this, active filling and ripening of the fruit begins. Thanks to this feature, the June variety has an almost one-time yield.

The height of the plants does not exceed 40-45 cm. June tomatoes do not show a tendency to form stepsons; they do not need to be formed or tied up. The stems almost do not lie down under the weight of the fruit; only tomatoes from the lower cluster may end up on the ground.

The June variety is an early ripening variety. Ripe fruits can be harvested 95-100 days after seedling germination. When planting tomatoes under film covers (in May), the first harvest can be harvested already in the third decade of June.

Cultivation in open ground slightly pushes this date back to the beginning of July. But in any case, the main collection can be made before late blight appears (in the second half of summer).

June tomatoes are resistant to verticillium and tobacco mosaic.

The plant is unpretentious and tolerates excess moisture and cold well under unfavorable conditions in the northern regions and dry and hot weather of early summer in Siberia or Altai. The yield of the variety is stable; with compact planting (6-8 bushes per unit area) it can reach up to 10 kg.

Tomatoes of the June variety can be recommended for early harvest and in greenhouses. The possibility of harvesting fruits in early to mid-June allows you to quickly free up space for planting other crops.

Reviews from summer residents indicate that this measure provokes a rapid filling of the remaining tomatoes and their almost simultaneous ripening.

Fruit characteristics

The plant produces neat multi-fruit clusters with 7-8 identical spherical tomatoes. June tomatoes do not have ribs and are distinguished by smooth skin with a uniform color.

The fruit shell is thick and strong. Tomatoes are not prone to cracking and rotting during the ripening period, so the yield of marketable products is quite high. Small-sized tomatoes (average weight - 100-130 g) are highly transportable and shelf-stable.

The pulp of the fruit has a dense and juicy consistency. The taste of fully ripened tomatoes is sweet and sour. The aroma is characteristic and well expressed.

Beautiful, medium-sized and calibrated tomatoes are perfect for whole-fruit canning. The preparations look impressive, especially in the form of assorted vegetables. Tasty and juicy fruits are also suitable for processing. The brightly colored pulp allows you to obtain the highest quality juices and sauces.

Due to the early ripening period, the June tomato variety is a desirable vegetable for fresh consumption. Dense tomatoes hold their shape well in salads or slices and are suitable for sandwiches and snacks.

Thick walls and durable skin allow the fruits to be used for stuffing, raw or baked.

The bright color of the pulp makes it possible to use June tomatoes for making sauces, soups or vegetable caviar.

Agrotechnics of cultivation

The characteristics and description of the variety as an early ripening one dictate the characteristics of growing seedlings:

• sowing seeds should be done no earlier than 50-60 days before planting in the ground;
• When 2-3 true leaves appear, seedlings should be planted according to a 10x10 cm pattern;
• Water the seedlings so that the soil in the box does not dry out.

To avoid blackleg disease, which can destroy most young seedlings, it is advisable to monitor the soil temperature. It should not fall below +16 °C even at night.

June tomatoes are less sensitive to air temperature.

To prevent diseases, you can pollinate the soil and stems of seedlings with wood ash. Do this after each watering.

Before planting tomatoes, the soil must be filled with a complex mineral fertilizer suitable for the given crop (Kemira, Signor Tomato). An early ripening variety will not require further feeding - the bushes should receive all the nutrients in a short growing season.

Further care consists of timely watering. If the season is dry, the bushes will have to be watered, not allowing the soil to dry out more than 2-3 cm in depth. In practice, watering can be done every 5-6 days. The water consumption rate is 2-3 buckets per 1 m².

Tomato cultivation

The early ripening hybrid Polonaise is easy to grow and care for. The culture loves moderate watering and mineral fertilizing. It is characterized by resistance to most nightshade viral diseases.

Landing

Transferring seedlings to open and closed ground begins in May. The timing depends on the growing region. In the southern regions, tomato bushes are planted after the soil warms up to +15 °C (in the second or third decade). In northern latitudes, tomatoes are grown only in greenhouses, so planting is done in early May.

No more than three bushes are placed per 1 m². Holes for seedlings are dug to a depth of 20 cm and disinfected with a hot solution of potassium permanganate. The seedlings are watered abundantly with warm water and rolled along with the earthen lump.

The beds are sprinkled with mulch - peat, sawdust or hay. This allows you to retain moisture in the soil and prevent the growth of weeds.

Care

Five days after planting, the first watering is carried out with settled or rainwater. Then the soil is moistened once a week at the rate of 5 liters of water per 1 m².

Weeding and loosening are carried out without fail after watering.

During the short growing season, tomatoes are fertilized three times:

1. The first portion is nitrogen fertilizers two weeks after planting: 40 g of nitrophoska, 20 chicken manure per 1 liter of water, then increase the volume to 10 liters.
2. The second portion is potassium-phosphorus feeding 10 days after the first: take 10 g of superphosphate, 20 g of chicken manure per 1 liter of water, and bring the volume to 10 liters. Consumption – 5 l/m².
3. The third portion is potassium-phosphorus fertilizer (20 g of superphosphate, 40 g of ash per 10 liters of water) two weeks after the second feeding. Consumption – 5 l/m².

Features of cultivation

A distinctive feature of the Polonaise hybrid is its adaptability to cultivation in the southern regions in the open air. A large amount of green mass protects the fruits from direct sunlight. Plant life processes are less active compared to varieties and hybrids intended for northern regions. At the same time, southern tomatoes are better adapted to changes in weather conditions.

Important ! For comparison: “northern” tomatoes are not suitable for growing in open ground in the southern regions due to the small amount of greenery. They quickly burn out under the scorching rays and cannot provide the fruits with the necessary nutrition.

Hybrid Polonaise can be grown in greenhouses in the middle and northern zones. The ovaries on the bushes are formed simultaneously even at low temperatures, which ensures a friendly harvest.

Tomato Polonaise F1. Hybrid characteristics

Diseases and pests

Tomatoes are resistant to verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt, and tobacco mosaic virus.

Thanks to early ripening, there is no time to become infected with late blight, but prevention will not hurt, since the bushes bear fruit until the end of August. To do this, greenhouses are fumigated with sulfur bombs, the soil in the garden is treated with copper sulfate and mulched with sawdust, pine needles, hay or peat.

The disease can be recognized by brown spots with a gray tint on leaves, stems, fruits, and a white coating on the back of the leaves. The products “Fitosporin”, “Ridomil Gold”, “Quadris”, “Baktofit” will help you quickly get rid of late blight.

To combat spider mites, aphids, and whiteflies, the preparations Fitoverm, Flumite, Epin, and Zircon are used.

In the fight against insects, folk remedies are no less effective:

1. 100 g of dried chamomile flowers are poured into 1 liter of warm water and left for 10 hours. Then bring the volume to 5 liters and add 15 ml of liquid soap. Spray the bushes once a week.
2. Dilute 125 g of liquid soap in 10 liters of water and irrigate the plants once a week.
3. Add 3 kg of ash to 10 liters of hot water and leave for two days. Strain through cheesecloth and add 50 g of grated soap. Treatment is carried out after sunset once every 7 days.
4. Dissolve 10 tbsp in 10 liters of water. l. soda and spray the greens twice a week.
5. Add 1 ml of iodine and 1 liter of water to 200 ml of milk. Used to treat bushes twice a week.

Differences between southern hybrids

The main feature, the “zest” of hybrids bred for cultivation in the southern parts of the country is the incredible amount of bright green foliage that covers the entire bush. The green “head” protects the tomato fruits from the scorching hot southern sun. In this regard, the harvest of southern hybrids takes a little longer to ripen than their northern “brothers”. 4.5 - 5 months is a suitable period for the south, since summer here lasts much longer. The fruits have time to ripen during the season.

The nuances of growing in open ground and in a greenhouse

Tomatoes in a greenhouse need fresh air and optimal temperature for successful growth . To ensure comfortable conditions, 2 hours after watering, the doors and vents in the heifer are opened for ventilation for 30–60 minutes. In hot weather, the windows should be constantly open. The optimal temperature during the day is +22 °C, at night +16 °C.

In greenhouses, bushes are tied to supports, since in such conditions they grow 20–30 cm higher.

Polonaise tomatoes do not require pinching or staking when grown in open ground. The plant has a strong root system and thick stems that can support the weight of the fruit.

Description and characteristics of the variety

The variety was obtained by breeders from Holland. The ideal conditions for growing are those in the south of Russia. In other regions, Polonaise tomatoes can be grown exclusively indoors.

Mature plants have erect stems, they are powerful, strong, strong. In open ground they reach a height of up to 85 cm, and in greenhouse conditions they can reach greater heights - up to 1 meter. Since the plants are of a determinate type, pinching is not carried out, and tying to supports is necessary only in greenhouse conditions.

The fruits of the Polonaise tomato are round, smooth, even, with a matte surface. There is no ribbing. Ripe tomatoes have a bright red color. The peel is dense and can be easily removed if necessary.

The weight of a ripe tomato reaches 200 grams. Inside there are from 4 to 6 chambers with seeds. The taste is simply excellent. Thanks to this, the fruits are good for individual cuts and salads. Suitable for canning, creating sauces and pastes.

The variety is considered ultra, that is, very early. So, from the time the first shoots appear until the tomatoes appear, no more than 2.5 months pass. The yield is high: up to 5 kg are harvested from one adult bush, and in a greenhouse the yield reaches even 8 kg!

The variety has excellent immunity, like many other hybrids. It is not afraid of any diseases characteristic of vegetable crops, as well as pests.

tomato Pink Clear F1 - description and characteristics of the variety

All cultures have their own distinctive characteristics. Very early tomato varieties are characterized by the following positive qualities:

• The main problem of all garden crops is diseases. Tomatoes are most often affected by late blight. This disease is very difficult to fight. The source of infection is fungal spores, which begin to develop intensively on the plant during strong fluctuations in night and day temperatures, as well as in air saturated with moisture. This usually begins towards the end of summer and beginning of autumn, when all the super-early varieties have time to produce the entire harvest.
• For some reason, many vegetable growers think that early tomato varieties will have small stems. Actually this is not true. For example, the bush of the “Explosion” variety is only 45 cm in height, and the stem of the hybrid “Blagovest F1” grows to 2 m or more.
• The fruits of all varieties of tomatoes differ in their taste. Ultra-early tomatoes ripen in the sun on the most favorable summer days, so they are tastier than the fruits produced by late varieties. The pulp of the early vegetable is always sweet and endowed with a subtle aroma. Such fruits should be eaten immediately or juiced. They are not good for canning.
• Many super early varieties cannot boast large fruits. Typically, the weight of the largest tomatoes reaches 200 g, and the small ones - 50 g. However, there are exceptions. For example, the “Big Momma” variety produces tomatoes weighing 400 g.
• The main characteristic of ultra-early crops is high yield. Depending on the variety, the amount of harvest varies from 7–15 kg/m2.

These are, in principle, all the features of early-ripening tomato varieties that distinguish them from crops of other ripening periods.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of Polonaise tomatoes:

• amicable maturation;
• formation of ovaries even in cold weather;
• attractive appearance;
• excellent taste;
• 100% seed germination;
• thin skin;
• universal use in cooking;
• bushes do not need pinching or staking in open ground.

The hybrid has few disadvantages:

• plants require staking in greenhouses;
• not suitable for growing in open ground in the middle zone and northern regions.

Care

Watering

At first, tomatoes transplanted into holes do not need to be watered. The water that you pour directly during transplantation will be enough for them. After about 10 days they can be watered for the first time.

To prevent the seedlings from getting sick, when watering you need to make sure that the water gets only under the root, but not on the leaves.

After the first fruits appear, watering needs to be increased. At the same time, try to keep the soil moisture at the same level.

Loosening

After watering, it is necessary to loosen the soil around the holes with tomatoes each time, while weeding the weeds. The first time you need to loosen the soil to a depth of 9-12 cm. Then the loosening depth can be reduced to 4 centimeters. Compaction of the soil should not be allowed, as this will adversely affect the growth and development of tomatoes.

Hilling

You can decide whether to hill up tomatoes or not by looking at the root part of the stem. If there are shoots on it, hilling is necessary. What does hilling give?

• the soil is better saturated with oxygen;
• the root system of the plant is strengthened;
• the nutrition of tomatoes improves;
• after hilling and watering, water accumulates around the root, which gives additional moisture to the plant.

After transplanting the seedlings into open ground, you can mulch the holes. Ordinary sawdust can serve as mulch.

Reviews

Experienced farmers and amateur gardeners share positive reviews about growing the Polonaise hybrid:

Valery, Mineralnye Vody, Stavropol Territory: “These are ideal tomatoes for open ground. The culture pleases with its yield, smooth ripening and ease of care. The tomatoes are almost the same size, with a pleasant taste and bright color.”

Inna, Prikaspiysk, Astrakhan region: “This Dutch hybrid is good for its early ripening and resistance to most diseases. The tomatoes did not even have time to be affected by late blight, although I did not take any preventive measures. Caring for the crop is simple and comes down to moderate watering and fertilizing.”

Nadezhda, Syzran, Samara region: “I’m planting Polonaise tomatoes in a greenhouse. The bushes grow up to 1 m in height, so I tie them to supports. The stems themselves are quite thick and can support the weight of the fruit. There is no need to trim the bushes. The taste of tomatoes is excellent: sweet, with a slight sourness.”

Description

Tall, powerful plants reach a height of 2 m and belong to the indeterminate type. The size of the fruit depends on the method of formation of the bush. If you leave one stem, removing all the stepsons, the maximum weight of the tomato will be 500 g. If grown in two stems, the tomatoes turn out to be small, round, not exceeding 160 g. The leaves are not large and thick, so when grown in a greenhouse, the lower ones are removed. The plant is disease resistant.

There are a lot of fruits, they are beautiful, pink with thick skin. Thanks to its properties, tomatoes do not crack during the rainy season and are easily transported. They have high taste qualities. The fruits have a characteristic pleasant aroma. The pulp is dense and juicy. They make delicious canned food and sauces.

general information

This group of tomatoes includes plants whose fruit ripening period is less than 90-100 days. Of course, in specific conditions everything will be slightly different, but in general the general characteristics are consistent.

Such tomatoes can be divided into:

• ultra-early (ultra-early ripening);
• early ripening (early ripening).

The age of early tomato seedlings for planting in the ground should be 40-50 days. In this case, the deadlines will be different for each region:

• April 10-15 (this is for the south of Ukraine, Krasnodar Territory, and other warm areas);
• May 10-15 (Moscow region, middle zone);
• June 10-15 (Siberia, Ural, North-West region).

The dates are given conditionally, approximate, since much depends on the year, weather, conditions for growing tomatoes (open ground, greenhouse).

It is necessary to take into account all the recommendations indicated by the seed manufacturer on the bag, and also use your own growing experience.

IMPORTANT: Early-ripening tomatoes have certain characteristics when compared with mid-ripening and late-ripening ones:

• The yield of such varieties and hybrids is usually lower than that of their counterparts that ripen later.
• The fruits are not particularly large (although there are exceptions to this rule).
• Short fruiting period.

That is why there should be tomatoes of different ripening periods on the site.

Although early ripening tomatoes have their advantages:

• They are maximally adapted to climate change (and this is always very important).
• They are distinguished by good taste of the fruit.
• They ripen in a short time, which makes it possible to get an early harvest.
• These tomatoes usually have thin skin, so they are not suitable for canning. And they are best suited for fresh consumption, in salads, and for making juices.
• Unpretentious in care.
• Resistant to diseases. Many of these tomatoes manage to harvest before the hated late blight appears, so diseases are not so terrible for early tomatoes.
• Huge selection of varieties and hybrids.

Growing and care

The Polonaise tomato variety is grown using purchased seedlings. Seeds collected from the garden are unlikely to sprout, since they are a hybrid. To avoid this situation, you should purchase seeds in special departments or order them from an online store.

1. Seeds are planted in pre-prepared containers. The soil should be enriched with humus. A depth of 1.5 cm is sufficient. The planted seeds are moistened and the containers are covered with film. When two leaves appear, a pick is made.
2. When planting in a permanent place of growth, it is necessary to maintain a distance between plants. 1 m2 can accommodate 3 plants, no more.
3. Tomatoes require moderate watering and lighting. Watering is best done in the morning or evening. Be sure to loosen the soil so that the roots can “breathe.” Removing weeds will also help the plants form properly.
4. Application of complex fertilizers is necessary several times per season. The first feeding is carried out after planting, the rest - during flowering and budding.

The Polonaise tomato variety is an excellent choice for a beginning vegetable grower and an experienced vegetable grower. It has a pleasant sweet and sour taste. Suitable for fresh consumption, for freshly squeezed juices. In addition, it can be used for canning. The vegetable makes excellent tomato paste and sauces. Try growing this variety and taste the delicious fruits!

Plant care

Growing tasty and healthy fruits is only possible if you properly care for the seedlings during their growing season.

First of all, you need to remember about proper watering. It is carried out with warm water as the soil dries. This usually happens once a week. The soil should not be flooded with water or dry out: this leads to root rot.

After each watering, the soil is loosened and all grown weeds are removed. It is also recommended to promptly mulch the soil with humus and straw: this allows oxygen to better penetrate the soil.

Fertilizers should include both mineral and organic substances. It is advisable to use humus, which has a sufficient amount of nutrients, as organic matter. Of the mineral components, preference should be given to phosphorus and potassium. These products accelerate the development of the bush and lead to the formation of large fruits.
