Many beginners believe that the yield of the Vityaz tomato is affected by the pinching of the bush. And this is not surprising, because many hybrids without this agricultural technique reduce the quality of the fruit. The fact is that a large number of shoots take away nutrients from plants, which are a source of strength and building material for his body. But still, the low-growing hybrid Vityaz f1 has been valued for a long time for its high yield among fruit and vegetable growers, without special care, including pinching shoots.
Description of culture
The Vityaz f1 hybrid was the result of the development of Alexey Alekseevich Mashtakov . The Russian breeder carries out his work in the Rostov region, so his crops are excellent for our climate.
A hybrid crop with a similar name, tomato Russian Vityaz f1, was bred by agro breeders. This is a mid-season hybrid; the fruits ripen 110–118 days after germination. The plant type is indeterminate, the inflorescences are simple.
The culture is characterized by strong immunity to diseases. Productivity is high. Ripe pink fruits with excellent taste and an average weight of 250 g. The hybrid is recommended for cultivation under film covers in any region .
Distinctive features of the Vityaz tomato

Agricultural technology.
If you grow tomatoes, then you need to know that these vegetables are heat-loving crops. You can sow tomato seeds in the ground or transplant seedlings only when the threat of night frosts has completely passed and the soil has warmed up sufficiently. Early crops should be covered. With the seedling method of growing, seedlings are transplanted into the ground at the age of 55 - 70 days. It is best to grow seeds for seedlings in special pots, feeding them with fertilizers. It is also worth feeding Vityaz tomatoes throughout the growing season. Tomatoes require regular watering. They do not like windy places.

How to grow seedlings
Seeds are sown for seedlings 2 months before planting. Before sowing, standard preparation is carried out.
Seed preparation
Seed material is determined for emptiness by immersion in a saline solution . Those grains that float to the surface after 10 minutes are unsuitable for planting. Then the seeds are disinfected in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 25 minutes. Then rinse with running water and dry.
Important! A highly concentrated solution of manganese can destroy all seed material.
To improve germination, grains are germinated on damp gauze for three days until sprouts appear. The gauze moistened with warm water is left in a dark, warm place at a temperature of 27 ° C. As it dries out, it is re-moistened.
Container and soil
The container for planting is prepared in advance by making small holes at the bottom for drainage, where excess moisture will drain. In addition, drainage holes improve breathability.
Planted in a common container or separate containers , for example, paper honeycombs, peat pots, plastic cups. Before sowing, containers must be treated with a dark solution of manganese. Disinfection is especially important if these containers have been used for previous plantings.
Reference. When sowing seeds in peat pots, picking seedlings is not required. In addition, plants receive additional nutrition due to the content of nutrients in the walls of the containers.
The soil is prepared from garden soil, peat and humus in equal quantities . Washed river sand is added as a leavening agent. The prepared mixture is poured with a hot solution of potassium permanganate to destroy pathogenic spores. The cooled soil is laid out in planting containers, filling them two-thirds.
Sowing
Seeds are sown in furrows 2 cm deep and at a distance of 3-4 cm from each other . Sprinkle soil on top and lightly compact. After watering with warm, settled water, cover with film and leave in a warm room at a temperature of 24-25 ° C.
Reference. When covering the containers with film, a greenhouse effect is created, due to which the seeds germinate faster.
Seedling care
When the first shoots appear, the film is immediately removed , otherwise the sprouts will wither from the heat. The containers are placed on the windowsill to receive the required amount of light. Daylight hours are at least 13 hours. If there is not enough light, additional lighting should be provided.
Reference. With a lack of light, seedlings stretch out and weaken.
Water as the top soil layer dries out with warm, settled water using a regular tablespoon. At the initial stage of development, it is important not to flood the sprouts, otherwise the increased level of humidity will negatively affect the root system. In addition, the risk of fungal infections increases. After watering, the soil is loosened, ensuring breathability of the soil.
When two true leaves appear, the seedlings dive , planting them in separate containers. Before picking, the soil is well moistened so that the young bushes can be transplanted along with the earthen clod. Otherwise, the seedlings will experience the picking painfully. If the seedlings are left in a common box, the distance between them is increased to 15 cm.
When propagated in a common wooden box, 10 days after picking, the seedlings are fed with liquid fertilizer for tomatoes. The same is done in separate containers if growth is poor.
2-3 weeks before transplanting, seedlings begin to harden for faster establishment in open ground. To do this, the containers are taken out into the open air, first for 1 hour, and then the time interval is gradually increased to 10 hours.
Agrotechnics of cultivation
Tomatoes can be grown in seedlings, so before planting the plants in the ground, the seeds need to be germinated. Nowadays, peat tablets are popular. A seed is planted in them, watered and germinated under cellophane. When it sprouts, remove the cellophane and continue growing until two leaves appear.
After picking, the sprout along with the tablet is planted in separate glasses and sprinkled with earth. Grow before transplanting into the ground.

Depending on the region and place of cultivation, planting is carried out from early May to early June. Air temperature is taken into account. If planted during night frosts, the plants will die or grow poorly.
How to grow tomatoes
By the time of transplantation, the seedlings should have 5–7 true leaves and formed young roots.
Landing
The soil is prepared two weeks before transplanting . They dig it up and add a complex of minerals. Do not forget that the hybrid is susceptible to late blight, so tomato beds are spilled with copper sulfate.
Planting pattern : 40 cm - distance between seedlings, 60 cm - row spacing. For 1 sq. m place 4-5 plants in a checkerboard pattern. With this method of planting, each bush receives a sufficient amount of light and ventilation. This is especially important for those species that are susceptible to fungal diseases.
Further care
As they take root in the beds, the seedlings begin to be regularly watered and fertilized . Water moderately, not exceeding the humidity, but not leaving the soil dry. To ensure that the soil retains moisture longer, the beds are mulched with straw or sawdust. After watering, the soil is loosened for better oxygen access.
Another important factor when caring for a hybrid is removing weeds . Weeds pull a lot of nutrients from the ground that are necessary for the development of seedlings. In addition, many pests that are dangerous to tomatoes live and reproduce in them.
Fertilizing helps seedlings receive additional nutrition for full development. They are applied at least three times per season: during flowering, during the formation of ovaries and at the time of fruiting.
Fertilize with a complex of minerals or organic matter . During flowering, fertilizing with a predominant content of phosphorus is used and boric acid is added, and during fruiting - potassium substances. From organic matter, add mullein infusion or bird droppings in a ratio of 1:15.
Attention! A highly concentrated solution of organic compounds can cause root burns.
Features of care and possible difficulties
Despite their short stature, the plants must be tied to a support . When transplanting, wooden stakes or metal rods are installed next to the seedlings, to which the stem and fruitful branches are fixed as they grow. The crop is characterized by an increased rate of fruiting, so neither the stem nor the branches can withstand the weight of ripe fruits.
Form a bush with 2 stems . With this technique, you can achieve maximum efficiency, which is especially important when breeding on an industrial scale. Plants are pruned regularly due to the large number of side shoots. If they are not removed, this will lead to thickening of the plantings.

Diseases and pests
Vulnerability to late blight necessitates regular preventive measures . It should be remembered that planting a hybrid next to crops of the nightshade family (eggplant, peppers, potatoes) increases the risk of fungal diseases.
Regular preventative measures include:
- moderate watering with control of the humidity level in the beds;
- regular loosening;
- hilling and mulching beds;
- treating the soil with copper sulfate before planting;
- spraying plants with manganese solution.
If a tomato is planted next to crops from the nightshade family , all plants are sprayed. When affected by a fungus, it is treated with fungicidal agents - “Fitosporin” or “HOM”.
Among the pests that are dangerous for the hybrid are aphids, Colorado potato beetles and mole crickets . The mole cricket moves underground and is difficult to notice. Therefore, measures are taken in advance by burying crushed cloves of garlic or fish heads in the beds. They repel pests with their unpleasant smell.
The Colorado potato beetle is collected by hand , carefully inspecting each seedling from all sides. When there is a large concentration of the pest, the drug “Prestige” or “Commander” is used.
To prevent aphids from attacking plants , each stem is treated with a soap solution, which is prepared from one piece of laundry soap dissolved in a bucket of warm water.
Nuances when breeding in open ground and greenhouses
Greenhouse plants can grow larger than their stated height, reaching up to 90 cm . To limit the height of the tops, pinch off, otherwise a lot of nutrients will be spent on the formation of unnecessary shoots.
Before planting tomatoes, the walls of protected structures are treated with Bordeaux mixture , destroying pathogenic flora. The annual replacement of the top layer of soil in the greenhouse is also important. Numerous fungal spores and pests overwinter on the soil surface, which in the spring can cause great harm to plantings. If it is not possible to replace the top soil layer, the soil should be thoroughly watered with a hot solution of manganese and copper sulfate.
Regular ventilation of the greenhouse reduces air humidity and temperature . Overestimation of these indicators contributes to the successful development of bacterial spores. Regular supply of fresh air reduces the risk of disease. In addition, fresh air destroys the usual habitat of greenhouse pests.
In the greenhouse and in open beds, the lower leaves up to the first fruitful branch are removed so that they do not come into contact with wet beds. When they rot, they will become a source of disease.
Harvest tomatoes
Good afternoon to all my guests! I invite you to see what wonderful tomatoes I have growing this year)))))
My greenhouse measures 4*5.5 meters. Covered with reinforced film. The greenhouse has been in the same place for 35 years. I plant only tomatoes in it year after year. I never took the soil out of it. I add a little new soil from my own garden in the spring. I add manure every year. This spring I spread urea before digging the ground. I loosened the soil with a Mole shovel (I like this ripper), then sowed green manure - mustard. Until the time came to plant tomato seedlings, I made a small bed for seedlings of beets, cabbage, pumpkins, and flowers. I still covered it with film and waited for warm days.
Harvesting and application
Thanks to the friendly ripening, the crop is harvested simultaneously and in large quantities . This is very convenient for selling on markets and preparing numerous winter preparations. Large quantities are also processed into tomato products (juices, pastes, ketchups and sauces).
Larger tomatoes are used for fresh consumption , and smaller tomatoes are canned whole - they look great due to their ideal shape. The high percentage of dry matter and sugar gives the freshly squeezed juice an original taste, which is suitable for dietary nutrition.
Interesting. Because of its perfectly round shape and bright color, the tomato is used in advertising.
Ripe vegetables are stored for a long time and can withstand transportation over any distance.
What is a Vityaz tomato?

Farmer reviews
Feedback from farmers fully confirms the stated characteristics of the hybrid.
Sergey, Volgograd region : “I have been engaged in large-scale cultivation for a long time. I planted Vityaz tomatoes for testing. The manufacturer did not deceive - the result exactly corresponds to the description of the variety on the packaging. The harvest exceeded my expectations. The culture did not get sick throughout the season. Next year I’ll plant more.”
Ekaterina, Saratov region : “I’ve been growing the hybrid for several years now and I’m happy with everything. The fruiting is excellent, I make a lot of preparations. I also tie up my stepson, otherwise there will be a lot of greenery. Ovaries form in any weather - this is important, since our climate is unstable. The bushes are small and compact.”
The best characteristics of the variety
- Short growing season - no more than 110-120 days pass from the moment of sowing until the first harvest is obtained, and the fruiting period occurs in the warmest months of the year and is about 150 days per season. Tolerates dry and hot climates well.
- High productivity allows you to harvest 830-850 kilograms of vegetables from one hundred square meters, with a marketable tomato yield of up to 90%. A ripe tomato weighs from 120-140 to 180-200 grams, depending on the number of inflorescences and the order of ripening. This quality makes this variety attractive for commercial cultivation in large quantities.
- The uniform ripening of fruits makes it possible to harvest simultaneously in large quantities for sale or preservation, preparing hot dishes and cold snacks for crowded events. The largest fruits are used in grated or chopped form, and the small ones are used for preservation in their entire state.
