Description of the tomato variety Azoyushka

The variety is recommended for cultivation under temporary film shelters and in the gardens of private farms.

Fruit characteristics

The variety produces a complex inflorescence. This is what “gives birth” to large and very large fruits.

Azoyushka is assigned a fetal mass figure of 400 g.

The tomatoes themselves have the following characteristics:

1. Pedicel - with articulation;
2. The fruit is flat-round in shape;
3. Density - medium;
4. The ribbing is easily expressed;
5. The color of the unripe fruit is green without a spot on the stalk;
6. The color of a ripe tomato is deep orange;
7. The number of nests is more than 6.

Ripe fruits have an excellent taste. They combine light sourness and a balance of sugars. The pleasant aftertaste reminds you of the meal for a long time.

At first glance, the skin is dense and perfectly holds the fleshy tomato pulp. When you bite into it, it becomes clear that the peel is quite tender. Thanks to it, cutting the fruit can be carried out smoothly and accurately.

The fruit does not contain voids. The seeds are located in pulp-filled seed chambers and when cut, no juice flows out.

Productivity

After conducting tests, the registration commission assigned the variety a yield indicator within the range of 15.9-16.5 kg per square meter. m. polycarbonate greenhouse.

It should be understood that achieving such an indicator in open ground will be extremely difficult in the southern regions. The northern regions of the country, where climate swings are great, can achieve only half of this figure.

The variety is responsive to fertilizing and water supply. Good care will help you get a high yield and marketable yield.

Application area

Salad variety. Its tasty fruits behave well when cut, and chefs will be happy to use them for work. The tomato fruit does not have a green spot and coarse fibers at the stalk, and there is almost no waste.

Tomato variety Azoyushka can be used for:

• fresh consumption
• slicing into salads and serving with assorted vegetables;
• preparing juices and sauces;
• canning ketchup and lecho;
• rolling into containers in cut pieces;
• salad preparations with vegetables.

Attention! It should be noted that the Azoyushka variety produces a product with a color that is not typical for a tomato. Pale, yellowish juices and sauces are not marketable. To improve quality during processing, red-fruited varieties are added.

Features of growing and using fruits

Azoyushka tomatoes are of the flat-round type. They have a wonderful balanced taste and juiciness. With the onset of maturity, the fruits change their color to a bright lemon yellow color. Moreover, each of the tomatoes is quite large and its weight can reach 150 - 300 grams. For subsequent cultivation from seeds, it is worth considering that there are quite a few of them in one such tomato. Under standard growing conditions, the variety is characterized by a high degree of productivity. From one bush you can harvest up to 8 - 12 kg of crop.

Azoyushka tomatoes are recommended for use when following a dietary menu; they can also be given to small children. The fruits are quite large and are not suitable for canning, but can be used for making tomato juice. Fresh tomatoes retain the most beneficial elements and substances, so they are ideal for making salads.

Characteristics of the Azoyushka tomato

Tomato bushes grow indeterminately. Their growth does not stop until a person borders it by pinching an inch.

Medium fruiting tomato.

It takes 105-115 days before the first fruits sprout. The first inflorescence is formed above the 7th leaf, then after 2. Each cluster bears from 3 to 5 fruits.

Features of cultivation

Considering the growth capacity and abundance of fruiting, the bush should not be allowed to thicken. The culture should be carried out in one or two shoots. For this, the main feature is early formation. You should do this:

1. after planting the seedlings, immediately install supports;
2. As it grows, we tie the shoot to stakes or trellises;
3. We carefully monitor the growth of the first stepson;
4. when it appears, we begin tying it up;
5. We remove all other stepsons as soon as they reach a size of 1 cm.

This technology will allow you to grow two even, healthy shoots and get a bountiful harvest. It should be noted that only 4 plants need to be planted per square meter. Azoyushka will not tolerate thickening.

Resistance to diseases and pests

When characterizing the Azoyushka variety, the registration commission did not establish the resistance of the variety to any pathogens. This suggests that the variety has average resistance and needs constant, careful inspection and preventive treatments against the most contagious tomato diseases.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Azoyushka variety

The new tomato product has undeniable advantages. She has:

• large-fruited;
• high productivity;
• good taste of the fruit;
• duration of fruiting;
• good transportability;
• excellent shelf life of commercial products;
• the opportunity to collect your own seeds with inheritance of varietal qualities.

A disadvantage of the variety may be the insufficient resistance of the tomato plant to diseases. Bushes require constant inspection and timely treatments.

Tomato varieties with similar characteristics

For lovers of tomatoes with orange fruits, we can offer a similar variety “Persimmon”. Unlike "Azoyushka" it is less productive, but the same:

• large-fruited (up to 300g);
• productive (up to 10 kg per sq. m.);
• delicious;
• transportable;

The Orange Giant is also good. However, this variety falls short in terms of yield, but is superior in taste because it has a higher content of organic sugars.

You might consider the first generation hybrid "Orange Sugar". It has the same flat-round shape, but with slight ribbing. The fruits are large and have good taste.

"Orange Bison" will not compete in terms of yield, but its fruits have a more pleasant sweetness.

It’s quite possible to try the “Altai honey” variety. Its fruits:

• large (up to 350 g);
• delicious;
• flat-round;
• elastic and fleshy;
• transportable;
• bright orange color.

Main characteristics of the variety

The original name of the tomatoes is “Azoychka”. The plant belongs to the early ripening type. The variety is suitable for growing in greenhouses, as well as in open ground. It should be taken into account that its height can reach 1.8 - 2 meters. If tomatoes grow in open soil, their height will be somewhat smaller, but over time the stems will require additional support and tying.

Tomato leaves of this variety do not have any special characteristics. The maximum yield of tomatoes is obtained when planting the plant with two stems.

Rules for growing tomatoes

To get a good harvest you need high-quality seedlings. By the time of landing at a permanent place, its age should be within 55-60 days.

Planting seedlings

When purchasing professional seeds, you need to take into account that they do not need any processing. Since Azoyushka is a variety, in the future the vegetable grower will be able to prepare the seed material himself, and only then will it be necessary to treat it with manganese.

Before sowing, the seeds are soaked in a damp cloth and sent to a moderately warm place for 3-4 days.

Then do this:

1. The seeds are laid out on the surface of the soil at a distance of 1 cm.
2. Sprinkle with earth.
3. Spray with warm water.
4. Cover with glass.
5. Sent to a warm place.

After germination, the glass is removed and the seedlings are transferred to the brightest windowsill. When 2 true leaves appear, they are dropped into individual cups. The deepening is carried out to the cotyledon leaves. Water and shade. The seedlings remain in this form until they are planted in a permanent location.

Attention! If universal, specialized soil was used to grow seedlings, then fertilizing is not required.

Scheme of planting in soil and greenhouse

When planting, you should pay attention to the condition of the shoots. If they are stretched out, then the landing is carried out obliquely. Scheme for planting varieties with high yields: 4 bushes per square meter. This applies to both greenhouse areas and vegetable gardens.

When planting seedlings, you should immediately consider the possibility of fixing the shoots and fruits in order to make it impossible for the brushes to break off and loss of harvest.

Subsequent care for tomatoes

After transplanting, the seedlings are watered abundantly. In the garden you cannot rely on natural moisture. The water should completely cover the earthen ball and bring the soil closer to the roots. This rule especially applies to seedlings with an open root system.

Watering

Subsequent waterings should be carried out:

• abundantly, so that the soil is moist throughout the entire area where there is a root system;
• the water should be warm, preferably rain;
• Watering should be regular, but not frequent.

The larger the plant, the more water is needed for irrigation.

Initially, 0.5 liters will be enough for the bush, then the dose is increased to 1-1.5 liters.

Fertilizer application

The amount of fertilizing is determined depending on the nutritional value of the soil in the place of fruiting. If the soils are fresh, then fertilizing is carried out as follows:

• first feeding 15 days after planting. Dissolve 20 g of ammonium nitrate in 10 liters of water and add 0.2 liters to each bush after abundant watering;
• second feeding after 15-20 days. Superphosphate is added to ammonium nitrate in a dose of 10 g per bucket. The amount of fertilizing solution is 0.3 liter per bush;
• the third and subsequent feedings are carried out after 15 days. During this period, ammonium nitrate is no longer used.

Attention! If possible, it is advisable to alternate fertilizing with mineral fertilizers and organic fertilizers.

As organic matter you can use:

• cow, pig and horse manure;
• bird droppings;
• infusion of plant residues or compost.

Pinching and tying

Tying is carried out regularly. The shoot must not be allowed to bend or bend.

Stepchildren try to constantly compete with the central shoot. They take nutrients, light and water into it. This cannot be allowed. It is enough to inspect the bushes weekly and remove small sprouts with a slight movement of the nail even at the beginning of their extension.

Disease prevention and pest control

The basis of prevention will be crop rotation and the impossibility of proximity to nightshade crops, especially potatoes.

Take care of tomato plant protection products from the beginning of the season. In this case, diseases and pests will not take you by surprise. The first aid kit should include effective, comprehensive drugs for combating and preventing major tomato diseases. You can give preference to the following:

• quadris;
• Bordeaux mixture;
• home;
• fast;
• novosil;
• phytosporin.

Attention! Inspect the bushes regularly. As soon as the first signs of any diseases are identified, apply treatments in accordance with the instructions for the drug.

8. In the cross section of a tomato, 4-6 chambers are visible. There are few seeds in the pulp.

Features of agricultural technology

The tomato cannot be called whimsical, but in order to obtain a high yield, you should follow some rules.

Seeds are sown 2 months before the planned transfer of seedlings to the ground. 2.5-3 plants are planted per 1 m². This placement allows the greenhouse area to be used most efficiently. At the same time, trellises or other types of supports are placed to which long shoots will be tied.

All lateral stepsons are removed as they appear. Leave one central stem. The leaves covering the fruits are also regularly removed. As a result, the tomato is well lit and ventilated. Watering is carried out regularly. The soil should not be allowed to dry out.

Advice. It is better to equip the greenhouse with a drip irrigation system. This way, water will be supplied to the plants in a timely manner and in sufficient quantity.
