Characteristics of the Etude-NK tomato and growing the hybrid

Care

Tomatoes are watered at the root, avoiding water getting on the foliage and stems. Consumption rate - 7-10 l/1 bush. Frequency: once every 7-14 days, depending on weather conditions. Watering is stopped 2-3 weeks before harvest.

The root area is loosened after watering. Loosening depth - up to 5 cm.

The feeding rules are described in the table:

Tomatoes Rhapsody NK f1 require mandatory shaping and pinching:

• the bush is formed into 1-2 stems;
• the stepsons break off, leaving stumps of 1.5 cm;
• When the height reaches 2 m, the tops are pinched.

They begin tying up bushes under 2-4 leaves. To ensure free passage of air flow and access to sunlight, as the fruit clusters grow, all foliage underneath them is removed.

Features of care

The main thing is a garter for supports and the formation of a bush. 2-3 stems are left, the remaining stepsons are removed.

getting rid of weeds is necessary, especially in the initial stages, this does not allow tomatoes to receive minerals and nutrients from the soil. In addition, weeds often contain pests that are no less dangerous for tomatoes.

Loosening the beds with tomatoes will provide oxygen access to the roots and help retain moisture in the soil.

Summer residents are recommended to alternate fertilizing, use organic matter, and complex mixtures. Fertilizing the soil is especially necessary for plants:

• Active fruiting.
• Set of fruits.
• During flowering.

Caring for Etude NK tomatoes is easy; even a beginner can handle it.

Diseases and pests

The Antufey tomato has a genetic feature that allows it to resist such dangerous nightshade diseases as root and blossom end rot, tobacco mosaic virus and Alternaria blight.

Thanks to the early ripening of the tomato variety Antufei F1, it practically avoids such a dangerous disease as late blight.

Thanks to the high immunity that the Antiufay tomato has, you can save a lot of money when growing the variety over large areas. After all, with a decrease in the treatment of bushes with chemicals, costs are reduced, and the products are environmentally friendly.

However, to obtain a guaranteed harvest, it is necessary to carry out all preventive measures to protect the plant from diseases. This will strengthen your immune system and keep your tomato bushes healthy.

Among the pests of the tomato Antyufey F1, the following are primarily noted: aphids, cutworms, slugs and mole crickets.

To combat pests, bushes are treated with special preparations. To prevent slugs and mole crickets, place bait in the beds and dust the soil around the plant with wood ash

Along with industrial preparations, folk methods are also used to combat pests and diseases. Tinctures of wormwood, pepper, and tobacco dust will protect plants from many pests.

Pros and cons of the variety

Tomato cultivation

Planting in the garden begins at the end of May. By this time, the threat of frost will have disappeared, and the soil will have warmed up thoroughly.

Landing

The best place for tomatoes is considered to be the ground in which carrots, beets, cabbage, onions, beans or spinach previously grew. In autumn, the soil is dug up and fertilized with bird droppings, ash, compost or humus at a rate of 5 kg per 1 m². The best mineral fertilizers are potassium salt (20–25 g per 1 m²) and superphosphate (40–50 g per 1 m²).

In the first ten days of May, the soil is dug up again and fertilizing mixed in equal parts is applied to a depth of 15 cm: 1.5 kg of wood ash, 25 g of ammonium sulfate and 1 kg of bird droppings per 1 m².

Holes for seedlings are dug at a depth of 15 cm and spilled with a hot solution of potassium permanganate. The soil in the containers is moistened abundantly so that the seedlings can be removed without any problems. The lower leaves are torn off and, together with the earthen lump, transferred into the hole.

6-7 seedlings are planted per 1 m² at a distance of 70 cm and watered with warm, settled water.

The soil is mulched with straw or sawdust in a 10 cm layer. The plantings are covered with film and left to take root in a new place for 8–10 days. A hole is made in the film to prevent the risk of late blight infection in the created greenhouse conditions.

Tomato care is standard and includes weeding, weed removal, watering, loosening, and fertilizing.

10 days after planting, the plants are watered at the root with warm water. Do this once a week, in the evening. With the onset of heat, the soil is moistened every 2-3 times every 7 days.

Hilling is carried out as the bushes grow to strengthen the rhizome.

Tomatoes are fertilized once every 10 days according to the following scheme:

1. 2 weeks after planting - 1 part mullein per 10 liters of water.
2. Subsequent fertilizing is potassium-phosphorus - 60 g of nitrophoska per 10 liters of water.

Before flowering, the consumption per bush is 1 liter, after - 2–5 liters.

Forming bushes into 2 stems significantly increases productivity. The stepsons are carefully broken out or cut off with a sharp knife.

Prevention of diseases and pests

Shady Lady tomatoes are resistant to nightshade diseases: verticillium, fusarium, cladosporiosis, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV).

To prevent late blight (brown spots on leaves, stems and fruits), the bushes are regularly irrigated:

• fungicides: “Previkur”, “Fitosporin”, “Quadris”, “Topaz”, “Chorus”, “HOM”, as well as Bordeaux mixture, copper sulfate, according to the instructions;
• infusion of garlic with potassium permanganate (100 g of chopped garlic cloves, pour 250 ml of water, leave for 24 hours, bring the volume to 10 l and add 1 g of potassium permanganate);
• yeast solution (dilute 80 g of pressed yeast in 10 liters of water);
• a solution of milk with iodine (add 1 liter of low-fat milk and 20 drops of iodine to 10 liters of water);
• whey diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio.

Bushes are treated with folk remedies before flowering begins, then every 10–14 days. The use of chemicals is stopped 2 weeks before the start of harvest.

Preventive measures will help prevent infection:

• mulching beds with peat, sawdust, pine needles;
• spring disinfection of soil with copper sulfate (100 g of dry matter per 10 liters of water);
• compliance with the irrigation regime in order to prevent excess moisture in the soil;
• timely application of potassium-phosphorus fertilizers.

The following will help you cope with aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites:

• modern insecticides: “Commander”, “Iskra”, “Intavir”;
• biological products: “Fitoverm”, “Biotlin”, “Strela”.

Among folk remedies, the most effective are:

1. Garlic infusion. To prepare it, add 400 g of finely chopped garlic arrows to 1 liter of warm water and leave for 4-5 days. The bushes are treated 3 times during the entire growing season, every 3 days.
2. Ash. Add 50 g of ash to 10 liters of water, stir and filter through cheesecloth. Then pour in 50 ml of liquid soap. Apply the solution to spray the bushes on an ongoing basis every 14 days.
3. Infusion of tobacco. Add 200 g of shag to 5 liters of warm water and leave for 48 hours. The plants are treated with the liquid 3-4 times with an interval of 3 days.

Marigolds, calendula, leaf mustard, and fragrant dill are sown between the beds to attract ladybugs that prey on aphids.

Tomato Summer resident - a variety for busy gardeners

The Summer Resident tomato did not get its name by chance. After all, summer residents, although very enthusiastic people, are mostly busy with their main jobs and cannot visit their gardens every day. This tomato does not require constant participation in its destiny; it easily forgives the absence of the owner on the site.

The Summer Resident tomato is not young: it was registered in the State Register of the Russian Federation in 1999. The variety was obtained by specialists from the All-Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Growing; the originator was, among other things, the seed industry. At that time, there was no such wave of new varieties and hybrids, and each new product could be tracked by amateur gardeners.

Brief description of the tomato variety Dachnik according to the State Register

The Dachnik variety is a representative of determinate tomatoes; its bushes rarely exceed the half-meter mark in height and practically do not require the formation or even tying of shoots. The bush is semi-spreading in shape, branching and foliage are at an average level. Leaves are of normal size and color. 4–5 fruits are formed in the cluster.

The summer resident’s bushes are small, but covered with fruits

In terms of ripening time, the variety is classified as an early ripening variety; the first fruits ripen approximately 100 days after germination. In the south, it is sometimes even considered ultra-early, although now there are many varieties that ripen a week or two earlier than Dachnik. The first wave of the harvest, lasting one and a half to two weeks, is the main one, then fruiting continues little by little until frost.

The fruits are medium-sized, round or flat-round in shape, scarlet or red in color, containing at least four seed nests. The weight is in the range of 50–100 g: tomatoes cannot be called leveled. The taste of fresh fruits is characterized as good, with a pronounced “tomato” aroma. The skin is thin, the pulp is medium dense. The main purpose is salad, but the size of the fruit allows them to be preserved as a whole.

On average, the variety produces from 250 to 350 c/ha, which is at the level of standard commercial varieties. In the open ground, summer residents, with not very careful care, can harvest up to 4 kg of tomatoes per square meter. The possibility of industrial cultivation is based, among other things, on the good transportability of the crop. Fresh tomatoes can be stored for up to three weeks.

The variety is highly resistant to diseases, including fusarium and blossom end rot. Despite its regionalization in the south, it has good cold resistance. Since the bushes of this tomato are quite compact and stocky, it is often planted indoors, as well as on the balcony.

An early, low-growing, productive, unpretentious tomato variety for open ground.

The bush is of a determinate type, 70-80 cm high. It is recommended to form it into 3-4 stems. The tomato sets fruit perfectly in any summer. The bush is simply strewn with fruits. The variety is early ripening, but bears fruit for a long time, yielding until September.

The Dachnik tomato variety is included in the State Register for the North Caucasus region for cultivation in open ground.

We recommend sowing the seeds of this tomato variety for seedlings 55-60 days before the intended planting in the ground. Picking of seedlings is at the stage of two true leaves. Plants are planted in a permanent location when the threat of return frosts has passed.

Recommended planting pattern: 70 x 30 - 40 cm. Planting density: 6-8 plants per 1 sq.m.

Further care for tomatoes consists of timely watering, fertilizing with complex mineral fertilizer, pinching and preventive measures to protect against diseases and pests.

If you grew Dacha tomatoes, please write what the yield and taste of the fruit were in your climatic conditions. How do you rate the disease resistance of this variety? Would you grow these tomatoes again and would you recommend them to others? Briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages of this variety of tomatoes and evaluate its taste.

Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Overture

Among the high-yielding vegetable plants, one can note the Overture F1 tomato, which belongs to the indeterminate hybrids. In addition to abundant harvests, the variety has many different advantages that give it the right to take its rightful place in the garden bed or greenhouse.

Distinctive characteristics of tomato

Description of Tomato Overture includes the following provisions:

1. They reach maturity 101-112 days after sowing, which makes it possible to classify the variety as an early ripening species.
2. The tomato pleases with red round fruits without a green spot on the stem, weighing from eighty to one hundred grams.
3. Tomatoes have a lot of sugar in their taste, and the pulp has a high content of dry matter.
4. The tomatoes are evenly spaced on the fruiting branches, which allows them to be sold in bunches.
5. For ten days, ripe fruits can maintain their integrity without cracking.
6. After harvest, tomatoes need a cool, dry place to be stored.
7. The thick skin of tomatoes prevents them from spoiling for two weeks; they tolerate transportation well.
8. The variety has a total yield of about 24 kilograms per square meter, or six kilograms per bush.

Fruiting increases when the indeterminate is planted in a greenhouse rather than in open ground.

The characteristics of the vegetable plant indicate that the bushes reach a height of one and a half meters or more. The foliage of the stems is average. Tomatoes are resistant to tobacco mosaic virus and fungal diseases - verticillium, cladosporiosis, fusarium.

Ways to grow tomatoes

The Overture variety feels great under film coverings and in the open air.

At any place where a vegetable is planted, it is necessary to sow tomatoes for seedlings. Seeds are prepared in advance, rejecting low-quality ones. Then the seed material is placed in a gauze bag, immersed in a solution of potassium permanganate for twenty minutes. Similarly, place the seeds in a growth stimulator for two to three hours. If they need to be hardened, they will first stay in warm water for half an hour, and then on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for a day or two. Treated tomato seeds are ready for planting.

They are buried one centimeter inside the soil, which has been disinfected with boiling water or a solution of potassium permanganate. The distance between the holes in the box should not be less than three centimeters, otherwise the seedlings will not have enough nutrients for development.

For seedlings to grow healthy and strong, they need:

• water moderately;
• feed with superphosphate, potassium salt or mullein;
• illuminate with fluorescent lamps during short daylight hours;
• keep warm;
• dive after two true leaves appear.

As soon as the seedlings are 60-65 days old, they must be transplanted to a permanent place.

Planting and caring for vegetables in open ground

You can plant seedlings in the garden only when the soil temperature reaches ten degrees Celsius. This usually occurs from early to mid-May, depending on the climatic conditions of the region. In small areas, plantings are compacted by placing tomatoes between rows of early cabbage. Of course, the soil for the vegetable must be highly fertile, moist and weed-free.

Since the indeterminate variety has a branched aerial part, tomato bushes are placed at a distance of fifty to sixty centimeters from each other. One plant is planted in one hole, planting up to three or four bushes per square meter.

• watering during the period of fruit formation, three buckets per square meter;
• feeding - the first ten days after planting, the rest every two weeks;
• timely weeding by hand or with a hoe;
• loosening the soil;
• tying up bushes;
• forming a plant into one or two stems.

Tomatoes Overture NK F1 with proper agricultural technology give high yields in open ground.

Planting in a greenhouse and care

Transplantation of plant seedlings into a greenhouse occurs in late April - early May. A week before, the room is heated by placing fresh manure in it. Boiling water is used to heat it up. Then the soil is poured in a layer of twenty centimeters. Place tall bushes of the variety in the ground as deep as possible. Tomato shoots that are too elongated are placed between the rows, covering some of the stems with soil.

As soon as the tomato bush begins to develop, it is necessary to remove excess shoots - stepsons, breaking them off with your hands. Plant care consists of watering and fertilizing. The main thing is that care is carried out in a timely manner. As soon as the tomato fruits turn brown, they begin to be removed from the bushes.

Characteristics of the variety

Agricultural technology

Due to its early ripening, this tomato can be grown both in seedlings and without seedlings. The second option can only be used in the southern regions, and the time for sowing seeds in open ground is early April.

Important! In order for the seeds to germinate, the temperature must warm up to 18-28 degrees. Seed germination accelerates with increasing temperature

Growing seedlings

Before sowing, seeds are treated with a growth stimulant. Soak them overnight, then rinse and sow. The soil must be loose, consisting of garden soil, peat and sand. Before germination, the boxes with seeds are covered with polyethylene. To make them germinate faster, you should spray the soil and only then cover with film. As soon as 2 true leaves appear, they are picked into a separate container; during this period, complex feeding is also carried out.

Seedlings are grown on the windowsill for thirty days; during this period, good lighting is very important. When there is a lack of sunlight, use artificial lighting

Thirty-day-old varietal seedlings can be planted in open ground. If you cannot plant a tomato in loose soil, then you can correct the situation as follows: prepare the soil in the fall. To do this, add 10 kg of humus and 5 kg of sand per square meter.

Comment! Growing this variety in greenhouse conditions is unprofitable. Due to the low growth, there is a lot of unused space. It can be grown on the balcony in spacious pots.

Before planting in open ground, Betta tomatoes are hardened off. They begin to do this approximately 14 days before the expected disembarkation date. During the day, the plants are taken to a greenhouse or greenhouse, and at night they are brought indoors.

Seedlings can be planted in open ground from the second ten days of May - early June. Here everything depends on the climatic characteristics of the region. The soil should warm up to 18 degrees, and there should be no chance of return frosts.

Complex fertilizer is applied to each hole. Up to 5 bushes are placed per square meter. It is with this scheme that it is possible to obtain the maximum yield. Since the plants are small, supports for tying are not needed. This variety is recommended for beginning gardeners, as it is very easy to care for.

Caring for tomatoes in open ground

Caring for Betta tomatoes planted in open ground is simple. It consists of the following components:

1. Timely watering;
2. Regular feeding;
3. Loosening;
4. Weeding;
5. Preventive treatment against tomato diseases;
6. Treatment in case of illness.

It is enough to water once every 7 days. In dry weather, the frequency of watering is adjusted. It is easy to determine the need for watering by the slight drying of the soil; plants also do not like stagnant water. To maintain moisture, the soil is mulched.

Interesting. Even under unfavorable weather conditions, the Betta Lux tomato produces a stable harvest.

The regularity of fertilizing is once every 14 days, alternating organic and mineral fertilizers. Plants are very responsive to feeding with regular ash.

The first harvest can be obtained in early June. In the future, collection is carried out regularly until August. You can even pick the fruits when they are green. Subsequently they will ripen. By harvesting larger green fruits, smaller ones will ripen faster. Thanks to their thick skin, tomatoes can be transported without loss.

Given its short stature, the variety does not require staking, but this can be done. With a large yield, the plant may not withstand the load and break or simply fall.

Low growing tomato variety

Diseases

By carrying out preventive treatment against diseases, many of them can be avoided. Due to the early stages of ripening, the plant is practically not affected by late blight. But it can be infected with fungi that cause leaf curl, white spotting, and blossom end rot. Special drugs will help in the fight against them, but treatment should begin immediately.

Pests can also cause damage.

In particular, you should pay attention to spider mites, aphids, Colorado potato beetles, and thrips. If any are found, you must remove them manually

If infection occurs before flowering, insecticide treatment can be carried out.

During the flowering period, you can use traditional methods of pest control, in particular: herbal decoctions (celandine, onion peel). The soil is generously sprinkled with ash or sprinkled with hot pepper.

Weeding is one of the preventive measures against fungal diseases. Treatment with a solution of potassium permanganate is very popular. If dark spots are detected on the leaves, potassium fertilizing is done.

Dark spots on leaves

Growing

The seedling method of planting tomatoes is optimal, as it gives results 2-3 weeks earlier. Seeds are sown 2 months in advance. Each summer resident chooses the specific days for planting himself. Since regional climate features are different from each other.

It is necessary to take care of small plants; healthy seedlings are the key to a bountiful harvest.

• Lighting. Artificial or natural for 14-16 hours. Then the plants do not stretch and grow straight without bending the stem.
• The temperature for the first 5 days is +15-17 ⁰С. Then increase to +22 ⁰С.
• Regular watering in moderation, without flooding or allowing it to dry out.
• Feeding. Use growth stimulants or complex fertilizers.

In the phase of appearance of 2 true leaves, the seedlings are picked and planted in separate containers. This is how plants gain strength, forming a powerful stem and root system.

Before transferring to open ground, Etude NK tomatoes are hardened. To do this, they are taken outside for a short time. The first day for 10-15 minutes, then within 10 days this time is increased to 8-10 hours.

No more than 3 plants per 1 m2 are planted in a permanent place.

Application

The thank you variety is suitable for pickling in large jars in combination with other vegetables. These can be cucumbers, zucchini, squash and peppers. In the summer it will go well with other vegetables in a summer salad with the addition of vegetable oil, sour cream and mayonnaise. Complements cheese dishes. Will make kebab softer and more pleasant to taste. It will add good softness to the meat coming out of the oven. It will help perfectly marinate meat for barbecue.

The range of uses of tomatoes is so diverse that there is no dish in which the tomato does not come into play. "Indio" is suitable for preparing all kinds of dishes using tomatoes.

Advantages and disadvantages

The variety is completely new, few people know about it. But those who grew these tomatoes in their gardens in most cases praise them.

Pros:

• High yield potential.
• Produces large beef-type fruits.
• There is no hard core in the area of ​​the stalk, the pulp is of a uniform consistency.
• The taste is balanced, sweet, not cloying.
• Tomatoes are marketable and in demand.
• Strong immunity. Rarely affected by fungal infections and insects.
• There are enough seeds to create your own planting material.

Minuses:

• The tomato is large-fruited and needs feeding.
• Rapid growth of stepchildren and dense foliage, which must be systematically thinned out.
• A small number of brushes on the bush.
• The fruits on the upper clusters become smaller.

Features of cultivation and care

The end of the growing season (autumn) is suitable for planting the Etude variety.

The best soil for planting seedlings of the Etude variety is breathable, moisture-absorbing loam. The reaction of the acidic environment in the soil should be neutral. Plum easily takes root on the site. The variety is unpretentious and does not require special knowledge to grow it.

For planting, an area is selected on the south side of the garden. This may be a hill, flat terrain or a slight slope. The ground is cleared of old leaves, grass and debris. The distance from trees is calculated to be 3 meters.

A planting hole is dug in the middle with a pattern of 70 by 50 and by 60. The top layer of soil is mixed with humus and nitrophoska. The resulting mixture is mixed in a pit and formed into a hill. The total volume of the mixture should be 2/3 of the total volume of the pit.

1. A support stake is driven into the middle of the slide.
2. A tree is planted next to the stake.
3. Then the roots are distributed and buried in the nutrient mixture.
4. The tree is shaken a little to better penetrate the soil between the roots.
5. The earth is trampled down a little and the hole is completely filled with earth.
6. The seedling is watered and trampled down again.

If the site has a high level of groundwater, before the formation of a hole, a half-meter elevation is artificially increased on the site.

Further care consists of digging up the circle around the trunk in spring and autumn, watering, weeding and removing debris, root growth and weeds, mulching and pruning.

The depth of the shovel when digging the soil around the tree should be about 8 centimeters.

The tree is winter-hardy and can withstand frost without additional shelter for the winter.

Watering is done 1 - 2 times a week. In case of drought, the amount of watering increases up to 3 times.

When watering twice a week, the tree should receive 20 liters of water. During drought, the number of irrigations and the volume of water increases.

Pine needles, mowed dry small grass, cereal straw, peat, humus, and sawdust can be used as mulch.

Pruning the crown of a plum tree is done in spring and autumn. Thickening and incorrectly located shoots are removed. If there are dry and damaged branches, they are pruned. Areas of extensive cuts are treated with garden varnish.

Features of carpal varieties

Tomatoes of this type are intended to be picked by trusses. They have original characteristics and properties that are valued among gardeners. The fruits of the raceme variety are of the same size within the raceme and the plant.

If they plan to harvest the crop with brushes, standardization is carried out. 6-8 ovaries are left in each inflorescence. This event promotes uniformity of fruits and ensures smooth ripening.

A characteristic feature of the raceme variety is the shape of the flower. The sepals are longer, and the stipule is located in the axil of the inflorescence. Hybrids of this type contain genes that control ripening sag.

When harvesting, the brushes are cut off at the base

This is important during storage. Good preservation of fruits is facilitated by the presence of an increased concentration of pectin

To increase the yield of the harvest and extend the shelf life, the brushes are removed when the first 2-3 fruits turn red.

They ripen within 3-4 days. The fruits of the raceme variety are dense and have a sweet and sour taste. During storage, the concentration of ascorbic acid in them increases, which increases their biological value.

Tomato bushes are better ventilated and illuminated by the sun, which reduces the risk of fungal diseases. They save space in the greenhouse.

A bit of controversy

I would like to object to Natalya Aleksandrovna Vlasova ("") about rye. Why torture the earth and yourself like that?!

Before you “pluck” the rye (as it is written), you need to water the soil, and the next day you could deal with it without much effort. My advice: it is better to dig up the soil where the rye is planted in late autumn. I do this even during light frosts. I just switched from rye to oats. During the winter everything rots, and in the spring the earth is just fluff! With mustard it is easier to dig up the soil, although rye and oats produce much more green mass, and as a result the soil is much more lush.

I also object to those gardeners who advise trampling the snow around the trees to keep the roots warm and away from mice.

Firstly, loose snow, on the contrary, retains heat better, you need to throw more of it, and secondly, mice can even overcome plaster. There are many ways to protect trunks, they have been written about more than once. For example, I soak pieces of cotton wool with tar and place them near the trunk so that no water gets in when the snow melts or rains. You can also use cellophane, linoleum, roofing felt, etc.

The variety is used for:

• fresh consumption,
• for canning,
• making sauces,
• tomato pastes,
• marinating in its entirety.

How to grow a rich harvest

Growing seedlings begins at the end of March, seeds are planted in fertilized soil, and as they grow, they are watered with a spray bottle with warm water.

Plant picking is carried out in the phase of 1-2 leaves in separate containers. During cultivation, seedlings are fertilized 2 times using soluble mineral mixtures.

Seedlings are planted under film or in a garden bed. The Juliet tomato is planted in the greenhouse at the end of May, and in the garden at the beginning of June. In this case, the seedlings reach an age of 60-65 days, that is, only a month remains until the first harvest is obtained.

Indeterminate tomatoes. Tomatoes - cultivation. Tomato varieties

Today there are countless varieties of tomatoes. They differ from each other in the color and size of the fruit, the size and structure of the bush.

It was the differences in plant shape that gave rise to the division into determinate and indeterminate tomatoes. These complex names mean nothing to some, although even an ordinary gardener can easily distinguish these varieties.

Indeterminate tomatoes are characterized by unlimited bush growth, while determinate tomatoes are characterized by low growth.

General information about such varieties

Indeterminate tomatoes are tall plants. This means that to grow them you must use trellises or other supports to which the bushes are tied.

To answer the question of what indeterminate tomatoes are, you first need to determine the morphological characteristics of these plants. On such bushes, inflorescences form after 6-10 leaves. Such tomatoes belong to late-ripening varieties that can bear fruit almost until frost.

As a rule, the largest yields are harvested from bushes in which 1-2 main stems were left by pinching at the beginning of growth.

General information about determinate varieties

These tomatoes are characterized by limited growth and low bushes. Their leaves and inflorescences are densely located on the stem. There are 3 groups of this kind of tomatoes:

• determinant - characterized by a double wave of growth. At the first fruit setting, there are up to 6 inflorescences, then so-called stepsons grow on the shoots, on which other inflorescences are formed, giving a second harvest. These tomatoes are characterized by early ripening. In this case, fruiting lasts 1-2 months;
• superdeterminate - characterized by early ripening. They have a bushy plant, the height of which reaches 0.7-1 m. As a rule, after the formation of 2-3 inflorescences on the shoot, growth stops. These varieties are characterized by uniform ripening of fruits. Such tomatoes are often planted over large areas when the entire crop needs to be harvested in a short time;
• semi-determinant - represent the average of the two previous groups. The height of the bushes reaches 1.2 m. They are characterized by later ripening. These tomatoes, the cultivation of which does not require pinching (removal of second-order shoots), will bear fruit earlier if they are removed from the bushes.

Determinate and indeterminate varieties do not take stepson.

Features of indeterminate tomatoes

Among other advantages of varieties of this kind of tomatoes, it is necessary to highlight the following:

• inflorescences on plants are formed every 3 leaves;
• in large-fruited varieties, 4 fruits are tied in a cluster, and in small-fruited varieties - up to 20;

Variety selection

All varieties of tomatoes, photos of which can be found in reference books, look very appetizing and tempting, but when choosing seeds for planting, you must take into account the growing method and region. If you plan to grow indeterminate tomatoes in a greenhouse, then you can choose almost any variety you like.

For many regions of Russia, late-ripening plants are absolutely unsuitable. If the temperature is not high enough and the daylight hours are short, such tomatoes will not have time to ripen. That is why varieties of early or medium ripening are more suitable for the more northern regions of Russia.

If you want to try late tomatoes, you will need to make a small shelter for the plants in the form of a greenhouse with additional lighting on autumn days.

Also, when planting tomatoes, it is necessary to take into account that large fruits are not suitable for canning as a snack, since they simply will not fit into a jar. These tomatoes are intended for salads or for processing into juice, sauces or pastes. Fans of pickles should plant indeterminate varieties with small and medium-sized fruits.

Sowing seeds

If you trust the seed supplier, then no pre-sowing treatment is required, since licensed seeds are already specially prepared.

In this case, their germination and seedling growth will depend on the choice of a suitable substrate and watering. It is best to choose soil that is specially prepared for growing seedlings.

This substrate is sold in any specialized store.

Tomato seeds are planted in the soil to a depth of 1-1.5 cm. After the first true leaves appear, the seedlings dive. After this procedure, the root system of the plants becomes more fibrous, and the plants themselves are leveled in height. The optimal temperature for germinating tomato seeds is +24˚С. To grow in open ground, tomatoes are sown 30-40 days before planting in the ground.

Preparing seedlings for planting

After picking, the seedlings are transferred to a room whose temperature does not exceed +20˚C. 1-2 weeks before planting in open ground, plants begin to harden, gradually reducing the air temperature.

Seedlings can be planted until the first brush appears on it. To strengthen the plants, it is recommended to water them with water with the addition of special complex fertilizers.

They are diluted in a ratio of 20 g per 10 liters.

The seedlings are planted in prepared holes, burying the plant in the soil up to the cotyledon leaves. Seedlings that are too elongated can be planted even deeper (up to the first true leaf), placing them in the hole in an inclined position.
