Characteristics and description of the tomato “Heart of a Russian bull”

Description and characteristics of the tomato variety Bull's Heart, reviews, photos

The original name of the tomato is Corazon de buey .

A mid-season, indeterminate, tall tomato variety originally from Spain. In the middle zone, it is recommended to grow it in a greenhouse.

The bush is thin, up to 1.8 meters high, with a leaf of the usual type. Requires tying to the support and pinning. The best results were obtained when forming a plant with 1 or 2 stems.

Basic qualities of fruits

The fruits are pear-shaped, large-ribbed, dense, red in color at maturity, weighing 250-350 grams (up to 600 g), fleshy, with granular pulp, very tasty. There are few seeds in the fruit. These tomatoes are easy to grow and transportable. Suitable for fresh consumption, making juices and sauces.

The fruits are collected in clusters of 4-6 pieces.

Stewed beef heart with vegetables

Beef heart is a source of vitamins and various beneficial compounds: protein, iron, zinc, phosphorus and B vitamins. To prevent the heart from being tough, it is boiled for a very long time. There is another option - to stew the offal along with vegetables.

Cooking time – 2 hours 50 minutes.

Cooking time – 40 minutes.

Number of servings – 3-4.

Ingredients:

• Beef heart – 800 gr.
• Potatoes – 700 gr.
• Carrots – 200 gr.
• Celery (root) – 150 gr.
• Onions – 100 gr.
• Red onion – 100 gr.
• Vegetable oil – 30 ml.
• Dry red wine – 3 tbsp.
• Garlic – 2 teeth.
• Bay leaf – 1 pc.
• Allspice peas - to taste.
• Salt - to taste.

Cooking process:

Step 1. Peel both types of onions (white and red) and cut into small cubes.

Step 2. We wash the beef heart with water and wipe it with a paper towel. We remove films, vessels and fat. Cut the offal into cubes (as for making goulash).

Step 3. Peel the carrots. We rinse it together with the celery root with running water. Cut the ingredients into bars.

Step 4. Pour vegetable oil into any container with thick walls and bottom - a cauldron or frying pan. After heating, put the onion in the cauldron and fry until transparent. Then we put the carrots and celery into the container. Mix the vegetables and fry for about three minutes.

Step 5. Reduce heat and add beef heart bars to the vegetables. Next we send peeled garlic cloves, bay leaves, allspice (4-5 peas). Add salt and mix the mixture. Simmer it under the lid for an hour and a half. Then add wine and simmer again. Peel the potatoes, wash and cut into cubes.

Step 6. Add the root vegetables to the cauldron and continue to simmer the mixture for 20-30 minutes (until the potatoes are ready).

Bon appetit!

Features of cultivation, recommendations for care

Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out 60-65 days before the intended planting in the ground. Seedlings dive at the stage of appearance of the second true leaf. When planting seedlings in a permanent place per 1 sq. m area it is recommended to place up to 3 plants, when forming into 1 stem - up to 4.

Further care for tomatoes consists of timely watering, weed removal, pinching, fertilizing with complex mineral fertilizer and preventive measures to protect the crop from diseases and pests.

Care

Growing Oxheart tomatoes requires compliance with several care rules.

Watering

Tomatoes are watered only with warm water

Seedlings are watered only after they have taken root and begin to grow with settled water. It is carefully poured under the root twice a day: morning and evening.

The initial norm is 5-7 liters of water per 1 m². Gradually, the volume of introduced liquid is increased to 12 liters per 1 m², in dry weather - up to 15 liters. To retain moisture in the soil, mulching is carried out.

Useful information: in hot weather, caring for the Ox Heart variety includes spraying the tops of the bushes with water.

Feeding

To grow strong tomatoes that can resist diseases and pests, you need to feed them at least 3-4 times during the entire growing season.

1. The first fertilization is carried out 2 weeks after planting the seedlings. This should be a fertilizer with a predominant nitrogen content for better rooting and growth of the crop.
2. The second feeding will be organized after 10 days. At this time, the plant is preparing to flower, so the fertilizer must contain phosphorus.
3. The third time tomatoes are fertilized approximately 1 month before harvesting, when fruits are already growing on some clusters, and the ovary is forming on others. It should be a nutrient mixture with plenty of potassium.

You can feed the seedlings this way:

• at the first stage, for the plant to gain green mass, you should dilute 500 g of manure in 10 liters of water, add 1 tbsp. l. nitrophosphates (mixtures of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium);
• at the flowering stage - dissolve chicken manure in water (1:15);
• at the third stage - thoroughly mix mullein with water (1:10).

Fast-acting organic fertilizers (mullein, bird droppings) contain primarily a large amount of nitrogenous substances. Plants are fed with such fertilizers at the initial stage of growth. With the transition to flowering, and especially fruiting, feeding with such fertilizers is stopped, because they cause prolonged growth of the bush and delay fruiting.

It is important to observe moderation when applying fertilizers. Violating this rule will negatively affect the plant. Too green leaves are an indicator of excess nitrogen, which reduces the number of ovaries and leads to poor flowering. Poor growth of bushes and a frail appearance of the crop, on the contrary, indicate a lack of nitrogen.

Sparse flowering with a minimum number of ovaries, small fruits indicate a lack of phosphorus and potassium. All this can significantly affect the yield of the tomato, so it is important to constantly monitor its condition.

Picking

Picking is carried out when a pair of true leaves appear on the sprouts. This procedure:

• allows you to grow hardened seedlings;
• prepares plants for transplanting into soil or greenhouse;
• makes the root system stronger.

The sprouts are watered, after 2 hours they are carefully removed from the container and transplanted into larger pots.

Important! It is advisable to plant seedlings in the same soil in which they grew previously.

Pollination

When growing Bull's Heart tomatoes in a greenhouse, natural pollination is difficult due to the lack of insects. In this regard, the procedure is carried out independently: at least once a day, lightly shake the trellis (trellis), which is a support for the tomatoes, or hit it 2-4 times.

This leads to the transfer of pollen from the flowers of one cluster to the flowers of another. Pollination occurs.

Formation of bushes

Most often, the bush is formed into one stem, less often - into 2. The remaining stepsons are removed. Process description:

• 7 days after planting, the bush is tied to a support;
• wait until 7 to 8 brushes form on it;
• The top of the plant is pinched.

The bushes are spreading, so their formation must be carried out necessarily.

Protection from diseases and pests

Plants should be inspected regularly for signs of disease.

Bull's heart tomatoes are medium resistant. They are mainly vulnerable to fungal diseases:

• late blight It affects the stem, leaves, and fruits, which become covered with brown spots. Fungal spores persist on the soil surface and contaminated plant debris, most often from potatoes. Prevention: growing potatoes and tomatoes separately from each other, treating the leaves with a garlic solution. Treatment: burning diseased bushes, using Fitosporin, Fundazol, Bordeaux mixture;
• macrosporiosis. The disease penetrates from the soil into wounds on the plant that appear after pruning and shaping. Signs are the appearance of brown spots on the tomato, the death of leaves, stems and the death of the entire plant. Prevention: care for plants only with disinfected tools. Treatment: burning infected parts or the whole plant, treatment with a mixture of water (10 l), copper sulfate (20 g), grated laundry soap (200 g);
• fusarium wilt. The fungus attacks the root system of plants. Plants begin to wither, roots and fruits rot. The causative agent of the disease is in the soil; the disease can be provoked by damage to the root system during weeding, loosening, or excessive watering. To protect against Fusarium wilt, treat the soil with Trichodermin, Alirin-B, and Gamair.

Before planting, you can treat the soil with a solution of copper sulfate (70 g per bucket of water); in the fall, cover the soil with ash mixed with sulfur powder.

If you grew Bull's Heart tomatoes (Corazon de Bue), please write whether you liked them or not. What was the yield and taste of the fruits like under your climatic conditions? How do you assess the resistance of a variety to diseases? If possible, attach a photo of the entire bush or individual fruits you grew. Thank you!

Your reviews of the Bull's Heart tomato and additions to the description will help many gardeners evaluate this variety and decide whether to plant it or not.

The culture has many subspecies and varieties. The Bull's Heart tomato is considered medium-late and productive. It gained popularity for the structure and taste of the pulp and the size of the fruit.

How does the heart apparatus work?

The main organ of the cardiovascular system is the heart; its key task is to move blood fluid through the vessels. The movement of blood is carried out in one direction - from the veins it enters the cavity of the atria, then into the ventricles, after which it moves to the large arterial vessels. With the help of special valves, one-way continuous blood flow occurs.

Important! The muscles begin rhythmic contraction in the atrium cavity, then they contract in the ventricles, after which there is a pause. This cycle repeats itself constantly.

Origin and description of the variety

This variety is the result of folk selection and was widespread throughout the USSR. It was included in the State Register of the Russian Federation in 2003 with the right of access to all regions for gardens, vegetable gardens, homesteads and small farms. Suitable for growing in open and temporarily closed ground. Depending on the variety - mid-late or late-ripening, sometimes early-ripening.

The plant is determinate and requires staking and formation. The leaves are medium sized, greenish in color. The first simple inflorescence is laid approximately above 8-9 leaves, subsequent ones - every 1-2. The stems are 1.5-1.8 m high, growth stops after the formation of 5-6 tassels with tomatoes.

The peduncle has an articulation. The color of the fruit is red, but other subspecies may be orange, pink, yellow, white, or black. Unripe specimens have a dark green spot next to the stalk. The shape of the fruit is heart-shaped and can vary on one bush. The peel is smooth, thin, the flesh is fleshy, there are almost no veins.

The average weight of the fruit is 100-230 g, but under favorable growing conditions it reaches 1 kg. The largest specimens grow from the bottom; those located in the upper part weigh only 100-150 g.

• large-fruited;
• intended for table use, suitable for freezing;
• medium late, ripens 120-130 days after the appearance of the first shoots;
• yield 3.5-5 kg ​​in open ground, 8-12 kg in a greenhouse;
• transportable;
• good keeping quality.

Many varietal subspecies have been developed that have slight differences in description and characteristics.

1. Tomato Bull's heart golden is an indeterminate plant with round, dense fruits weighing 240-280 g. At the technical stage of maturity, the tomatoes are light green, at the biological stage they are yellow. The maximum possible yield is 13.6 kg/m².
2. Bull's Heart Compact is an indeterminate, early-ripening salad variety. The tomatoes are slightly ribbed, dense, heart-shaped, red, weighing 160-200 g. In the greenhouse, the yield is 6-6.7 kg/m².
3. Black ox heart does not stop growing once it reaches a certain height; the fruits ripen quite early and are used for salad purposes. The surface is slightly ribbed, weight is 350-400 g, the peel is purple-red in color. In closed ground, the yield is about 13 kg/m².
4. Amber ox heart is a mid-season hybrid for salads. The shape of the tomatoes is round, slightly ribbed, and differs from others in medium density. After ripening, the peel becomes orange. The fruits weigh 350-400 g and have high taste. Productivity in greenhouses reaches 10-12 kg/m².
5. In the Bull's Heart , the bush grows up to 1-1.2 m in open ground, and up to 1.5 m in closed ground. A mid-season variety from Italy. The fruits are pear-shaped, fleshy, weigh 400 g, dark pink in color. This variety is suitable for preparing salads, sauces and pastes.
6. Bull's Heart Orange has a little more variation than other F1 hybrids. Mid-season tomatoes for salads; the bush does not stop growing, which should be taken into account when planting and growing. The leaves are dark green and long. The inflorescence is intermediate, the stalk has joints. The ribbing of the tomatoes is medium, the shape is heart-shaped, the color in the biological stage is orange, the weight is 300-350 g. The yield when cultivated under film is 11 kg/m².

Heart sounds and murmurs

If the lymph node functions unnoticed, then during a period of relaxation and tension, the sounds of the heart appear - tones. There is a difference between systolic and diastolic tone. In the first case, sounds are formed that occur during the operation of the atrioventricular valves, the muscles of the ventricles, and the removal of blood from the heart. They last more than a second and can be heard well on the top of the organ. The second tone appears when the semilunar valves close. It is much shorter than the first and is clearly heard at the base of the heart.

There are pauses between tones. The first and second are separated by a short break, and the second and first by a longer break. When diagnosing the cardiac system of cattle, pauses can be detected. However, the faster the heart rate, the more difficult it is to distinguish its tones. Therefore, the systolic tone should be heard at the top of the “motor”, and the diastolic tone at its base.

You can also listen to heart sounds. Their sound is completely different from tones. When noises are heard, it seems that something is buzzing, rustling and scratching inside. Such sounds should alert you, as they occur in heart disease.

Advantages and disadvantages

Bull's Heart tomatoes have many advantages over other varieties. Tomatoes are valued for their large fruit size and excellent taste. The meatiness, small amount of seeds and juice determine the widespread use of this variety for cooking. The large size of the fruit explains the good yield.

The collected seed material can be used for planting next year; it is only important to monitor storage conditions and not sow old seeds.

The main disadvantages are:

• height of an adult bush;
• the need for a strong and large support;
• it is required to regularly plant and form a bush;
• cracking of varieties in some varieties;
• tendency to diseases;
• capriciousness to growing conditions, a decrease in the declared yield due to non-compliance with agricultural technology.

Signs of pathology

Unfortunately, the symptoms of the described pathology are not specific. They accompany any heart disease and require a visit to a cardiologist and additional research. The main symptoms are as follows:

• Increased fatigue.
• Reduced ability to exercise.
• Shortness of breath in the middle of the night and after physical exertion.
• Swelling in the area of ​​the feet and legs.
• Feeling of heartbeat.
• Pain behind the sternum.
• Abdominal enlargement.

In children, in the absence of correction of the condition, starting from preschool age, the following symptoms are noted:

• Decreased appetite.
• Sleep disturbance.
• Fatigue.
• Increase in heart rate.
• Poor exercise tolerance.
• Blue discoloration of the nasolabial triangle.
• Failure in learning.
• Lability of the nervous system, neurological pathologies.

Diagnostic tactics and treatment practically do not depend on the patient’s age. The sooner correction of the condition begins, the greater the patient’s chances for a normal life.

Features of growing and storing crops

Tomatoes of this variety are grown by seedlings, since not all regions have time to ripen when directly sown in open ground. Unlike other varieties, germination is required in melt water. To obtain seedlings, forcing should begin in early March. Soak the seed material until the sprouts hatch. Plant in a common container, deepening it by 1-2 cm. It is advisable to leave at least 2 cm between the seeds.

Before emergence, it is necessary to provide bottom heating of the container and an ambient temperature of +25°C. After the first shoots appear, it is important to remove the greenhouse and reduce the temperature to +16-18 °C.

Good lighting is a must. In most regions, for Bull's Heart tomatoes, you will have to install additional lighting so that the daylight hours are at least 12-14 hours.

Transfer grown seedlings to open ground only after the soil has warmed up. In temperate climates, not all subspecies of this variety have time to ripen, so it is recommended to first transfer the seedlings to greenhouses and greenhouses.

It is necessary to first prepare the soil and carry out disinfection, since the variety is susceptible to infectious diseases. Planting scheme: 2-3 bushes per 1 m², row spacing of at least 70-80 cm.

Growing Bull's Heart tomatoes should be produced in diffused light, since direct sunlight can leave burns on the above-ground parts, and in the shade the bushes stretch out, the yield is greatly reduced, the plants get sick and die. Installation of support for growing shoots is done in advance.

The formation of a bush is carried out in 1-2 branches; in the south it is permissible to leave 3 . The Bull's Heart tomato variety requires pinching. There are usually few extra leaf blades, but growing stepsons can reduce the yield, because instead of feeding the fruits, the plant will grow green mass.

A feature of agricultural technology is also the need for manual pollination. It is recommended to mulch the soil surface to reduce the frequency of watering and protect the root system from sudden temperature changes that negatively affect the entire plant.

Landing

This procedure includes several stages: preparing seeds, planting them on seedlings, planting seedlings in a permanent place of growth.

Seed preparation

Before planting, the seeds must be germinated

To increase the percentage of germination and obtain stronger sprouts, Oxheart tomato seeds must be prepared before sowing:

• pour clean water into a plastic bag;
• put it in the freezer for several hours so that most of the liquid turns into ice;
• remove the bag and drain the unfrozen water;
• melt the ice, put the seeds in the water;
• leave them in it for 12-13 hours at room temperature;
• place the seeds in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 20 minutes;
• rinse them under running water;
• place a damp piece of cloth at the bottom of the container and place the seeds on it;
• Close the container tightly with a lid and put it in a dark place.

After a few days, the seeds should hatch.

Recommendation: during the preparation of seed material for sowing, use growth stimulants. The number of sprouted seeds will increase.

Technology

The optimal time for sowing seeds is the first days of March. Sowing is carried out as follows:

• purchase fertile soil for seedlings from a specialized store;
• warm it up to room temperature;
• take plastic cups, a container or a box, spread heated soil in them in a layer of 3 cm;
• moisten the ground with a small amount of settled water;
• Using tweezers, place the seeds at a distance of about 3 cm from each other, slightly deepening them into the soil;
• sprinkle with a thin layer of dry earth;
• cover the containers with a lid or film;
• place in a warm place;
• water periodically, avoiding dry soil, ventilate to avoid mold formation;
• when the first shoots appear, remove the shelter and move the seedlings to a room with a lower temperature and more light;
• After the formation of the first 2-3 true leaves, pick the seedlings.

To harden the sprouts, you can expose them for a short time to a loggia, balcony, or open air at a temperature of 12 to 16°C.

If, before sowing the seeds, you mix the soil with the soil in which the tomatoes will then be grown, the seedlings will quickly adapt to the new location.

Planting seedlings in a permanent place

Agricultural technology is standard. Tomatoes are planted both in the greenhouse and in open ground. Seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse in late April - early May. By this time:

• the height of the seedlings should be approximately 20-25 cm;
• 7-8 leaves should grow on them;
• Inflorescence buds may appear on some.

The plant is planted in open ground taking into account the climatic characteristics of the region. Most often this is done at the end of May. The place should be sunny. The soil is prepared in the fall by digging and adding fertilizer - compost, humus.

Make holes with a diameter of 50 cm and a depth of about 15 cm. Dig no more than 4 holes per 1 m², add organic or complex fertilizers to them, and water them. After the water is absorbed, the bushes are planted, deepening the roots so that 3-4 cm remains from the soil to the first leaves. If the seedlings are too large, when planting they are buried deeper, leaving 2 or 3 leaves above the ground.

Growing early ripening tomato varieties

Growing tomato seedlings of different ripening periods does not have any significant differences, except for the timing of planting seeds for seedlings and planting seedlings.

Planting seeds for seedlings:

1. Calculation of the date of planting seeds : subtract the growing season (85-100 days) and 5-6 days for seed germination from the expected date of planting seedlings in a greenhouse or soil.
2. the seeds , select healthy ones, of the correct shape (remove crooked and small ones), soak for 20-25 minutes in a light pink solution of potassium permanganate, rinse under running water, spread on a damp cloth in one layer and put in a bag, which is placed in a warm place (23°-25°). Remove the bag after sprouts appear.
3. the sprouted seeds in a seedling box with prepared and disinfected soil (peat, humus, turf soil in equal parts with the addition of 1 teaspoon of potassium sulfate, superphosphate and urea per 10 liters of soil).
4. Temperature maintain 23°-24°, reducing after a month by one or two degrees. Seven days before planting, reduce the temperature to 19°, moving the boxes to the balcony, veranda, opening windows (no drafts).

Seedling care:

1. Pick when 1-2 leaves appear.
2. Seven days after picking, feed the seedlings with an infusion of humus (1 part in ten parts of water). Seven days after the first feeding, carry out the second (you can buy a ready-made mixture for seedlings and prepare it according to the instructions).
3. Water regularly, without excessive waterlogging (too much moisture leads to stretching of the plant).

Transplanting:

1. When 8-10 leaves and one flower cluster are formed, the seedlings are planted in a greenhouse (soil).
2. Cabbage and cucumbers are good predecessors you can’t plant potatoes after nightshades . An undesirable neighbor of tomatoes is potatoes (common pathogens).
3. After onions and root vegetables, during autumn digging, be sure to add organic matter (compost, humus - about a bucket), superphosphate and potassium sulfate (2 tbsp and 1 tbsp per 1 m²).
4. Add organic matter (1/2 liter), potassium sulfate and urea (1 tsp each), superphosphate (2 tsp) to the wells.
5. Maintain a distance of 50-55cm between bushes and 70cm between furrows.
6. Water the planted plants well, cover the soil with mulch, and leave them undisturbed for 7-10 days.
7. After rooting the seedlings, tie the stems to trellises and stakes.
8. Further care:
9. Watering should be carried out when the soil, taken from a depth of 10-15 cm, does not form a lump when compressed, but crumbles. Keep the soil in a state of moderate moisture.
10. For indeterminate tomatoes, watering is not reduced during fruit ripening - the ovaries are constantly forming.
11. Infusions for feeding : one part mullein to ten parts water or one part chicken manure to twenty parts water.
12. 1st feeding: 10-12 days after planting in the ground with an infusion of organic matter (1 liter per 10 liters of water) and mineral fertilizers for this growing season. Apply fertilizer during watering. Mulch the soil (humus, compost).

Myocardiofibrosis

This disease is the result of dystrophic or degenerative changes in the heart muscles, and is characterized by poor circulation. The clinical picture is manifested by the following symptoms:

• Auscultation reveals muted tones;
• arrhythmia or tachycardia develops;
• the pulse is faintly audible;
• swelling occurs;
• breathing quickens.

This pathological process can develop over a long period of time, and can last for several months or even a year. A sick cow should be moved to a warm room and given balanced feed in small portions. Additionally, the doctor prescribes medications to improve blood circulation and prevent further development of the pathology.

Tips for growing tomatoes:

1. Elongated and pale green seedlings occur when there is a lack of urea (one tablespoon of urea per ten-liter bucket). After feeding, put it in a cool place, with a temperature of 8°-10°, for a week, do not water it during this time. Then return to the previous conditions.
2. To preserve the first buds, spray the seedlings with a solution of boric acid (1 g per 1 liter of water) 4-5 days before transplanting. Carry out the treatment in the absence of sun.
3. Water only with warm water once a week (5 liters per 1m²) until flowering, 10-15 liters per 1m² thereafter.
4. Remove brown fruits regularly to give the rest a chance to ripen.
5. It is not recommended to grow cucumbers and tomatoes in the same greenhouse at the same time : tomatoes like a lower temperature than cucumbers and need to be ventilated, but drafts are contraindicated for cucumbers.
6. Be sure to prun the bushes and not thicken the plantings. It is better to form bushes into one stem.
7. Remove leaves only if there is a large volume of green mass, and yellow, dry, diseased leaves must be removed.
8. If bushes grow strongly, reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizers and increase the amount of phosphorus fertilizers.

Differences between growing in open beds and in greenhouses

After planting the bushes in the greenhouse, the temperature is maintained at +23 degrees during the day and +16 at night. Water once a week. At least 7 liters are required per square of soil. water. During fruit set, the amount of water is doubled.

The bushes do not grow compact, but spreading and tall, so they often do not have enough air in the greenhouse. To do this, open it daily for 40-60 minutes to ventilate and remove condensation.

As they grow, they form bushes, leaving the thickest trunk and regularly removing stepsons from it. Once every 2 weeks the soil is fertilized with organic matter.

When cultivated in beds in the fresh air, tomatoes need protection and more watering. The soil is prepared in the fall. It should have neutral acidity and be loose. They dig up the beds, add rotted manure and compost, and dig them up again. Seedlings are planted in early May, having previously disinfected the soil with a pink solution of potassium permanganate or biologically active substances, for example “Fitosporin”, which contains beneficial bacteria that destroy pathogenic microflora in the soil, or “Trichodermin”, which contains beneficial mushrooms that destroy soil mycobacteria. Potassium permanganate is used only on non-acidic, carbonate soils, as it can acidify the soil.

After 2 weeks, the tomatoes are fed with organic fertilizers.

Mulch with straw or sawdust. 10 days after the formation of the ovaries, repeated feeding is carried out, adding 2 liters of mullein solution to each plant. The third time is fed at the beginning of tomato ripening. Water 2.5 liters of liquid manure solution under each bush. Watering in open beds depends on weather conditions. Regular watering is carried out twice a week, strictly at the root of the bushes. If the weather is hot, the number of waterings is increased to 3-4 weeks.

The flowers do not have a scent attractive to pollinating insects. Therefore, they are pollinated independently by lightly shaking the flowering bushes or passing a brush with soft bristles over all flowers. Some gardeners and gardeners place jars of aromatic jam near their plantings to attract insects. But it is safer to carry out independent pollination, especially since it is not difficult.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Indeterminate tomatoes are popular due to the advantages characteristic of these varieties:

• indents are more productive, bear fruit before frost, forming new clusters throughout the season (longer in a greenhouse);
• efficient use of planting space due to high plant growth;
• gartering the bush creates conditions for uniform illumination of the entire plant, for convenient treatment against infections;
• in areas with a warm climate they can produce a good harvest without pinching and stem formation;
• good taste, allowing you to consume it fresh and prepare juices and lecho;
• high productivity;
• low susceptibility to diseases.

Flaws:

• construction of trellises for garters, digging in pegs;
• removal of side shoots (stepping);
• impossibility of preservation in its entirety due to the large size of the fruits (preservation of cut fruits is possible).

Diagnostics

ABOUT

The generally accepted standard for determining cardiomegaly in medical circles is ultrasound diagnostics. This is the main diagnostic method, especially for identifying pathology in newborns and children 1 year of age.

Radiation and MRI are less commonly used. It is very rare that a biopsy sample is required for examination. Invasive methods are considered possible if the growth of malignant tumors in the heart area is suspected.

If the method of detecting changes was radiography, it should be remembered that false diagnosis or detection of pseudocardiomegaly is possible for the following reasons:

• Accumulation of fluid in the heart sac (pericardium).
• Formation of exudate in the pleural cavity due to injury or pleurisy.
• With ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity).
• With mild physiological curves of the spinal column (with “straight back syndrome”).

In addition to radiography, to confirm that the myocardial volume is indeed increased, the following hardware methods can be used: ECG, EchoCG.

Reviews

I planted the bull's heart early, but what I got was not early, but mid-season. The variety is good, productive, the tomatoes grew large and sweet. Only the hangers, for some reason, have not matured. Probably not enough potassium. Today I will plant again, but I will be more attentive to feeding.

Early Bull's Heart is a new variety for me, which I decided to plant last year. I grew the seedlings as usual, didn’t change anything. I planted some on the ground and some in a greenhouse to compare. The summer was rainy, and in the greenhouse the bushes grew greatly, stretched out, I had to often take stepsons and remove leaves, but outside I took stepsons less often, and the bushes didn’t stretch as much. I tied everything down: both in the greenhouse and outside. I was satisfied with the harvest everywhere, but only in the greenhouse I harvested the harvest almost until October, and outside, of course, I finished it much earlier. The fruits have grown very large and there are quite a lot on one bush (I didn’t weigh it, but I should have). My family liked the taste of tomatoes. My wife prepared delicious juices and lecho. I recommend trying this variety. Today I’ll plant it the same way - we don’t know what the weather will be like. I fed it mostly with a little bit of organic matter, since my soil is well fertilized.

How does the “motor” work?

Cattle have a four-chambered heart. Inside it is lined with endocardium and is divided into two sides by septa. There is an atrium and a ventricle.

The structure of the heart is such that these two chambers are connected to each other by the atriogastric openings. They are located near the border between the two sides of the organ.

The atria are at the bottom of the heart. These are areas with very thin walls that receive blood from the vena cava and pulmonary veins and then deliver it to the left atrium.

There is also the coronary groove, which is the outer partition of the two sides of the heart. Convex formations are located on the atrium.

The inner side of the atria has pectineal muscles, thanks to which blood is well squeezed out of the chambers of the heart.
