Characteristics and description of the variety

Marmande has been one of the most popular in Europe for more than a hundred years. What qualities allowed the tomato to gain such fame?

Subspecies Super Marmande

With the growing popularity, tomato seeds began to be produced in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the USA and other countries of the world.

Breeders from many countries worked to adapt the French variety to growing conditions. Thus, in Spain the variety Marmande RAF (resistente a Fusarium) appeared, which means “Marmande, resistant to fusarium.” French breeders decided to “decorate” the old Marmande and brought out the unusually bright Marmande Montpellier.

Dutch breeders recreated and improved the variety, calling it Super Marmande. On the Russian market you can find this and the classic name Marmande.

Distinctive features

This variety is early ripening (75-100 days), semi-determinate (140-180 cm), salad with a classic sweet and sour taste. It is unpretentious in care and grows well on any soil, both in open and closed ground.

Sturdy, strong and compact bushes are moderately resistant to frost and resistant to fusarium, verticillium and a number of other diseases.

Fruit characteristics, yield

The fruits are set in clusters of 4-6 pieces. They are flat-rounded, ribbed, weighing 150-250 g.

The photo clearly shows that the fruits are especially ribbed at the stalk. The pulp of the fruit is fleshy, oily with four chambers. The purpose of the fruit is universal, but it is better to eat everything fresh. Productivity – 9-10 kg per 1 sq. m.

Rules of agricultural technology

Marmande belongs to the category of light and easy-to-care varieties. It is unpretentious to the composition and quality of the soil. It is distinguished by stable high yields even in sparse areas without additional fertilizer.

If it is necessary to increase the volume and quality of the harvest, experts recommend following the rules for growing tomatoes.

Choosing a location. A place for Marmande is chosen with light, fertile soils. The variety is light and heat-loving. Therefore, areas should be well lit.
Growing method. Tomatoes are grown by seeding. Seedlings are sown in early March. Hardening must be carried out before transferring to the ground.
Transfer to the ground. Plants are transferred to unprotected soil in the second half of May. Seedlings are planted in closed greenhouses or under film at the end of April or beginning of May. This method allows you to get an earlier harvest.
Landing scheme. The distance between bushes should be at least 50 centimeters, between rows 40. Up to 9 bushes are placed on 1 square meter.
Soil fertilization. The first stage of fertilizers is produced in early spring. Humus is added to the ridges while digging the site. Then the tomatoes are fertilized 2-3 times per season with organic fertilizers.
Watering. Plants are moisture-loving. They require regular watering. It is carried out in the evening with warm, settled water.

How to grow seedlings

Strong seedlings are the key to a rich harvest. How to grow good seedlings?

Seed preparation

Good seedlings begin with preparing the seeds. Remember that pre-treatment disinfects the seeds and accelerates their germination.

A well-known collector of rare and exotic varieties of tomatoes, a tomato expert who has tested 1,300 varieties of tomatoes, Lyudmila Kodzasova, advises treating tomato seeds with 40° vodka: “vodka awakens, accelerates and disinfects.” She recommends soaking the seeds in vodka for 15-20 minutes, then rinsing them with water and planting.

Belarusian scientist Ivan Russkikh recommends treating the seeds with undiluted brilliant green or chlorhexidine from the pharmacy. Treatment duration is 30 minutes, rinse thoroughly and plant.

Container and soil

Cups of sour cream, mayonnaise, beer, etc. are suitable as containers for growing seedlings. Holes must be made in the containers.

Important! The depth of containers for growing plants must be at least 10 cm in order for roots to develop.

It is easy to buy soil or substrate in a store or collect it under birch trees in the fall.

Before pouring the substrate into containers for planting, large egg or walnut shells are poured into them as drainage. The containers are filled with substrate, not reaching a few centimeters to the edge. Then the earth is compacted and poured with boiling water and a pink solution of potassium permanganate.

Sowing

When planting, pay attention to the timing of fruit ripening and estimate when you are going to harvest. Please note that tomatoes take 10 days to germinate. If you are not going to use additional lighting, it is better to sow in early March.

The seeds are carefully laid out on the prepared substrate and covered with a centimeter layer of soil on top, moistening the soil with water from a sprayer. Cover with a lid or plastic bag until “loops” of sprouts appear.

As soon as the “loops” appear, remove the lids, bags and place the containers with seedlings on the window.

Growing and care

When the seedlings have their second true leaves, pick them. Using a knife or stick, carefully prying up the root along with the soil.

Important! Before picking, water the seedlings thoroughly.

Plants are planted in moist soil, deeply buried, down to the cotyledons. You cannot water from above.

After transplanting, the seedlings are shaded for several days. When the first watering comes, it is advisable to water the plants with a solution of baker's yeast (a pack of baker's yeast, 1 cup of sifted ash, 1/2 cup of sugar, 3 liters of water). The baker's yeast mixture is prepared 3-4 days in advance, as it must infuse.

Seedlings respond well to watering with a mineral water solution: a glass of 1 liter of water.

Sowing seedlings

The variety is grown by seedling method. They begin to sow seeds in early March. When grown in closed greenhouses, preparation begins 2-3 weeks earlier. At least 60 days must pass from the moment the seedlings emerge until they are transferred to the soil.

For seedlings, use individual containers measuring 10 by 10 centimeters. Prepare the soil yourself or use a ready-made nutrient mixture. Before planting, seeds are hardened and treated in potassium permanganate. The seeds should be buried no more than 1 centimeter.

Before emergence, the containers are covered with glass or film. Seedling greenhouses are maintained at a temperature of 22-25 degrees.

After the shoots emerge, the film is removed. Plants are regularly watered by sprinkling, and the soil is loosened. At the stage of 2-3 true leaves, picking is carried out. Hardening is carried out 1-2 weeks before transfer to the ridges.

How to grow tomatoes

Marmande is distinguished by its unpretentiousness in care - the harvest is obtained even on the most meager, lifeless soils. However, the better the conditions and care, the richer and tastier the harvest!

Landing

Before planting, first of all, prepare the greenhouse: wash the walls, burn the threads to which the tomatoes were tied.
The soil in the greenhouse is dug up, freeing it from the roots of the previous plants, and two weeks before planting the seedlings, it is spilled with “Fitosporin”, and a week before - with a solution of boric acid (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water).

Planting of seedlings in the ground is carried out in stable warm weather. If you want to plant earlier, you will need shelter. Tomatoes are planted at a distance of 0.5 m from each other and 0.4 m between rows, not closer.

Before planting, prepare holes in which ½ bucket of humus (rotted two- to three-year-old horse manure) is placed, which is filled with a raspberry-colored solution of potassium permanganate, and then a tablespoon of potassium sulfate, a tablespoon of superphosphate, ½ cup of ash, a tablespoon of fish meal are added and everything is mixed. .

Place the plant in the prepared hole at an angle of 45 degrees, orienting it from north to south, cover it with soil, compact it, and water it (1 liter of water).

After 10 days, the plants are watered with a solution prepared from 100 g of yeast and 10 liters of water so that the tomatoes grow well and do not stretch.

Care

The most important rules of care:

Water the plants not often - about once a week (1 liter of water per bush).
To ensure that tomatoes set well, the seedlings are watered with potassium sulfate (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water).
Tomato plants also love foliar feeding with iodine, manganese, boric acid, Epin, and Zircon. Spraying is carried out every 10 days.
During hot weather, be sure to spray tomatoes with boric acid.
When the third cluster blooms, add calcium: 1 tablespoon per 10 liters. water.
Ash is added several times during the season.
The soil around the plants is mulched with a layer of 8 cm and watered with Fitosporin.
The lower leaves are torn off.

Rules for planting and care

In order to optimally choose the timing of planting, you should take into account the main thing: seedlings are considered mature at the age of 60 days from emergence, and the Marmande variety can be transplanted into soil heated to + 20 °C.

Sowing seeds for seedlings

They begin to sow Marmande tomato seeds for seedlings in the first ten days of March, if in the future it is planned to plant the plants in a closed greenhouse. If you plan to transplant to ordinary beds, then the sowing time for this variety is shifted by 3 weeks.

For Marmande seedlings, take cups 10 cm high, fill them with universal soil and place 1 seed in each. If the room temperature is about + 22-25 ° C, then seedlings should appear in 5-7 days. If sowing is done in a common box, then picking in cups is carried out in the phase of the 2nd true leaf. It is recommended to do the first few waterings of tomatoes with a solution of Fitosporin, diluting the drug in water according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This simple measure will effectively protect Marmande seedlings from diseases.

The glasses are placed on a light windowsill and left for 2 months. There is no need to pinch the tops of the tomato; pinching is done in a permanent place. If the bushes bloom before transplanting, this will not affect the formation of ovaries.

A week before transplanting to a permanent place, it is worth hardening Marmande in the fresh air. In the warmest time of the day, the tray with seedlings is taken out to the balcony or outside so that the plants are exposed to the sun for a couple of hours. If flowers have already appeared on the plants, then pollination will occur at this moment.

Transplanting seedlings

If the seedlings were sowed in the first ten days of March, then in the first days of May it is possible to transplant the Marmande tomato variety into a greenhouse. Transplantation into open ground occurs in early June. Then in the greenhouse the first tomatoes will ripen in early July, and in open ground - in the second half of the month.

There is no need to rush into replanting tomatoes. The lowest permissible minimum soil heating is + 15 C. With a long stay in such conditions, the bushes tend to produce greenery, but do not expel the ovaries.

The recommended distance between individual bushes of the Marmande variety is 0.5 m. A minimum of 40 cm is left between the rows. As a result, in open ground there should be 7 bushes per 1 m2, planted in rows in a checkerboard pattern. In the greenhouse, you can allow a slightly denser planting - 9 plants per 1 m2.

Tomato care

Throughout the entire growing period, the ideal fertilizer for tomatoes is a humate solution. It can be used to water Marmande seedlings and adult plants in the garden or in the greenhouse at intervals of 2 weeks. If the choice is made in favor of a complex mineral fertilizer, then you should ensure that the nitrogen concentration in it is low. Otherwise, the green mass of the bushes will grow to the detriment of fruiting.

Since on fertile soil the height of the Marmande tomato can reach 1.5 m or higher, it is worth thinking about a garter. Regular trellises will work just fine. The main branches (from 2 to 4) are tied up. All other stepsons are carefully plucked out so that the plant does not waste energy on them.

If there is not enough natural precipitation in the open ground, then water the tomato 2 times a week. Consumption – 10 liters for each bush. To prevent the soil from drying out too quickly, it won’t hurt to mulch it and lightly hill up the plant itself. Straw, sawdust, but not dried tomato greens are used as mulch, since pests can hide in it.

In greenhouses, Marmande needs to be watered only when the soil dries out. If you overwater, fungal diseases will inevitably appear.

In all cases, it is extremely important to ensure that water does not get on the tomato leaves. This stimulates the appearance of burns and is also a gateway to infections. The Marmande variety has a special feature - a very ribbed surface of the fruit.

Dirt accumulates in the folds and rotting may begin. This often occurs in regions where summers are cool and there is a lot of rainfall. Therefore, the crop is harvested in such conditions in blanzhesky ripeness, preferring to ripen on bright windows

The Marmande variety has a special feature - a very ribbed surface of the fruit. Dirt accumulates in the folds and rotting may begin. This often occurs in regions where summers are cool and there is a lot of rainfall. Therefore, the harvest is harvested in such conditions in blanzhesky ripeness, preferring to ripen in bright windows.

Features of cultivation and possible difficulties

Regular, moderate watering (excess moisture leads to destruction of the root system).

To prevent the fruits from cracking, make sure that the soil is evenly moistened. How to achieve this? First of all, mulching the soil. Mulching protects against overheating and moisture remains in the soil longer.

If, nevertheless, the soil is very dry, then water the bushes many times intermittently, without flooding. Watering is done with warm, settled water directly under the bush, no more than 1 liter.

During fruit ripening, watering is minimal.

Tips for caring for crops

In early March, seeds are sown for seedlings. You must first disinfect them by briefly soaking them in a solution of potassium permanganate, and then treat them with a growth stimulator, for example, Epin. If the soil was not bought in a store, but mixed with your own hands, it is also spilled with a solution of potassium permanganate or calcined in an oven.

A distance of 3-4 cm is made between the grooves, the seeds are buried 1 cm. You can plant them not only in boxes, but also in separate pots, for example, peat. In this case, you can do without picking.

After sprinkling the grains with soil and watering them with water, the containers are placed in a warm place for germination. When the seedlings hatch, they are provided with sufficient lighting.

Upon reaching 2-3 leaves, the seedlings dive.

They are planted in the ground when the bushes are 55-60 days old. The recommended distance between bushes is 50 cm, in rows - 40 cm. Per 1 sq. m. you can plant tomatoes quite densely - 7-9 bushes.

You cannot grow tomatoes in beds after other nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, physalis, eggplants. Optimal predecessors are legumes, onions, dill, cabbage, carrots.

Maintenance includes watering, fertilizing, loosening the soil, and controlling weeds and pests. Feed with mineral preparations, mullein infusion, iodine, boric acid, wood ash, humus or compost.

The productivity of tomatoes directly depends on compliance with the rules of care, which do not cause difficulties even for beginners. Water the plantings moderately to prevent moisture from stagnating at the roots.

The characteristics of the variety indicate that the plant tolerates minor drought painlessly, in contrast to heavy watering. Moisten the soil near the roots so that moisture does not get on the foliage.

The crop requires loose soil, so it is weeded after each watering. The procedure will destroy weeds, potential reservoirs of pests and pathogenic spores, and provide oxygen to the roots of the plant.

Tomatoes are prone to forming aerial roots, so the bushes must be earthed up. This will direct the plants’ forces to increase the root system and increase their fruiting.

The Marmande variety tomato does not require mineral fertilizers. It is fed exclusively with organic matter, which includes an infusion of mullein, green grass, solutions of boric acid, iodine, and potassium permanganate. Nutrients are added 2-3 times per season.

TOMATO MARMANDE. Description of the variety

Tomato.Tomato.Marmande.Sweet Marmande

Plants require the following care:

Regular watering;
Mulching beds;
Weeding;
Fertilizing several times a season with organic matter and mineral complex fertilizers;
Regular loosening of the soil under the bushes.

Tomatoes are heat-loving plants. Marmande tomatoes grow best in nutritious soils.

An excellent place for planting plants is sunny areas, reliably protected from the wind.

Getting a harvest of Marmande tomatoes is not difficult even for a novice gardener. The variety's agricultural technology is mostly standard; it does not impose any special requirements on growing conditions. It is cultivated mainly by seedlings; the seeds are sown in the first ten days of March.

The nuances of growing in open ground and in a greenhouse

When choosing a growing site, please note that the soil on which other nightshades (eggplants, peppers) grew is unsuitable for growing tomatoes.
When planting tomatoes, add compost, peat or rotted manure to the planting holes (fresh manure burns the roots of the plants).

Planting density – no more than 5 plants per 1 sq. m. Water with warm, settled water.

Despite the fact that the bushes of this variety are compact, they need to be tied up, as the branches can break under the weight of the harvest.

Tomato variety Marmande must be planted throughout the growing season. The best yield is achieved when the bush is formed into two or three stems.

During extreme heat, tomato flowers in the greenhouse become sterile, so it is necessary to reduce the temperature in the greenhouse: cover the top of the greenhouse with lutrasil so that the sun does not heat, open the doors and windows.

The famous tomato collector Valentina Rarely writes: “The French beauty Super Marmande has earned many positive reviews among Russian farmers.
Everything about it is perfect – the taste, the size, and the cultivation features.” Private collector Anna, Moscow: “Not a bad tomato, even if you want to grow it for sale.
The fruits are elastic and dense, do not crack and are perfectly preserved. During the growing period, regular fertilizing with fertilizers is important, and basic agricultural practices are also required.” Zhanna, Moscow region: “Bushes 70-80 cm high. Delicious sweet tomatoes 100-150 g each. Productivity above average. Extended fruiting. Those above average are affected by late blight.”

History of the Marmande tomato

The variety in its homeland is called a classic French heirloom. It is named after the city of Marmande in the province of Aquitaine. In this area, until the 60s of the 19th century, viticulture was practiced, but phylloxera brought from the USA caused serious damage to the industry. After the epidemic, tomatoes became the main crop, replacing grapes.

The variety was developed by Vilmorin Seed. It began its activities in 1743 as a seed and plant store. The Marmande tomato first appeared on sale in 1897 and spread and became loved throughout Europe.

The variety is not registered in Russia, therefore, it has not been tested and is not zoned for any region of the Russian Federation. Seeds are imported mainly from Holland, Spain and Ukraine. In our country, they can be found in a regular store for summer residents, for example, under the Moscow brand “Elkom Seeds” or ordered online. But since there is no originator in the Russian Federation who would be responsible for the purity of the variety, there is no guarantee that you will buy the seeds of that very “French heirloom”.

Fruit

The Marmande tomato, reviews of which are almost always positive, produces large, flattened fruits with an unusual ribbed texture. These tomatoes are colored a rich red color.

Their pulp is characterized by high density and a small number of seeds. Thanks to these qualities, vegetables are perfect both for consumption raw and for various types of processing, for example, canning or making tomato juice.

This variety tolerates transportation well and can be stored for a long time. In addition, experts note that it bears fruit very well and produces a rich harvest.
