Tomato Kemerovo: characteristics and description of the variety, yield and cultivation with photos

Features of cultivation

Harvesting

The Kemerovo tomato is an early ripening variety.
It takes 100 days from sowing to harvesting the first harvest. This variety is suitable for growing in greenhouses in the Northern region. Therefore, planting tomatoes occurs only through sowing seedlings. One of the key points is choosing the right seeds. It is best to buy seeds from trusted sellers. The manufacturer must be indicated on the bag, their contact address and telephone number, the name of the variety, the weight or number of seeds in the bag, the date of packaging or the deadline for sale. The period for selling seeds should be no more than two years. Naturally, the type of packaging itself should not raise doubts about the quality.

The Kemerovo tomato is sown in early March in well-fertilized soil. When three permanent leaves appear, the plants dive. Then they need regular watering and sufficient lighting. In May, tomatoes can be taken outside for hardening or the greenhouse can be opened. When the threat of frost has passed, the plants can be safely planted in open ground. If the planting is in a greenhouse, then you can plant it a little earlier.

Description of the variety

Tomato Kemerovo is a variety bred by domestic breeders. It is included in the State Register of the Russian Federation and is adapted to the weather conditions of Siberia.

The variety appeared on horticultural markets in 2003. It is popular among gardeners from the central and northern regions of Russia. It is often planted by summer residents who prefer not to spend a lot of time caring for their plantings.

Distinctive features

Kemerovo tomatoes are low-growing varieties, their height is no more than 50 cm. The bushes do not require additional support or shaping. This makes caring for the plant much easier.

Another distinctive feature of the variety is its early ripening. Unlike many other early tomatoes, the fruits of Kemerovo have a rich sweet-sour taste with a pronounced aroma.

Its berries are pink. They are small, but have a beautiful heart-shaped shape. Contains iodine and lycopene.

Kemerovo is distinguished by its friendly maturation. It bears fruit quickly, so it does not suffer from late blight.

The immunity of the variety is average. If not properly cared for, other diseases will affect it.

The main positive feature of the variety is its resistance to cold weather. This is one of the few tomatoes that can grow outdoors in cities with extreme climates.

The photo shows the fruits of a cold-resistant variety.

Main characteristics

The Kemerovo tomato is ideal for growing in open ground conditions in regions with an optimal climate. It is popular not only for its ease of care and beautiful heart-shaped fruits: almost all of its characteristics are impressive - see the table for more details.

Description and characteristics of the Kemerovo tomato, reviews, photos

High-yielding , mid-early, determinate tomato variety for open ground and film shelters from Siberian breeders.

The bush is 0.7-0.9 meters high ; you don’t have to plant it (or you can plant it up to the first cluster of flowers). A garter to a support is desirable.

Basic qualities of fruits

The fruits are medium-sized hearts (with a spout), dense, at the ripe stage of pink-raspberry color, weighing 100-150 grams , excellent tomato taste, with sweetness. These tomatoes are good for fresh consumption, making juices, sauces, and whole-fruit canning.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Cold resistance
• late blight resistance
• versatility of fruit use.
• Minus : leaves can be affected by cladosporiosis.

Productivity of the Kemerovets variety : up to 3 kg of fruits from 1 plant (subject to agricultural practices).

How to grow tomatoes

Two weeks before picking, the seedlings begin to harden. To do this, plants are taken out to the balcony or outside every day. The first time - for 30 minutes, then increase the time daily, bringing the hardening duration to 16 hours.

5 days before picking, the plants are watered and fed. This will help the seedlings quickly take root in their new location.

Plants are planted in open ground when the soil warms up to +12 °C at a depth of 15 cm.

Landing in a permanent place

Before planting seedlings, the holes are prepared. This is done in the fall:

• the beds are dug up and cleared of weeds;
• for every 1 sq. m add 6 kg of manure or humus;
• crushed tomato tops treated with a solution of potassium permanganate are buried in the soil;
• check the acidity of the soil with litmus paper and, if necessary, add ash;
• if the soil is heavy, the soil is mixed with sand.

In the spring, the soil is dug up again. It is poured with copper sulfate. To prepare a solution, take 1 tbsp per 10 liters of water. l. vitriol.

The holes are dug in rows in a checkerboard pattern. For 1 sq. m place from 5 to 9 plants. The Kemerovo resident accepts thickened plantings.

A handful of ash or long-acting granular fertilizers are poured into the bottom of the hole. 1 liter of water is poured into each well. After the liquid is absorbed, the seedlings are planted. The depressions are filled with soil, which is compacted.

Plant care

The Kemerovo variety does not need to be tied up. Its bushes are low and strong and do not break under the weight of the fruit.

It is also not necessary to form a plant. Only yellowed and withered foliage is removed from the bushes.

Water the tomatoes as the top layer of soil dries with water at room temperature. This is done in the morning or at sunset. During the watering process, make sure that the liquid does not fall on the above-ground part of the plants.

After each watering and rainfall, the soil is loosened. This helps to destroy the earthen crust that impedes air exchange. During the loosening process, weeds are removed.

Tomatoes are fed 2 times per season. The first time is two weeks after disembarkation, the second time is another 2-3 weeks later.

Useful tips from gardeners

Experienced farmers know several tricks to get a rich harvest and avoid many problems:

1. Agronomists advise avoiding nitrogen-containing fertilizers, since nitrogen provokes abundant growth of foliage and the fruits become small and tasteless.
2. After planting the tomatoes in a permanent place, the beds are mulched with hay, straw or humus. This layer protects against frost, pests and diseases.
3. Ugly inflorescences need to be removed. They will interfere with the formation of high-quality fruits.
4. Incomplete ripening of tomatoes is associated with a lack of sunlight due to dense plantings or a lack of fertilizers.

Diseases and pests

The variety is not susceptible to late blight, the main enemy of plants in the nightshade family. But some diseases still affect him:

1. Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that forms a white coating on leaves and flowers that turn yellow and fall off. The plant is treated with fungicides (Topaz, Teovit Jet, Skor).
2. Mosaic. Dark spots appear on the leaves and deformation of the fruit occurs. To prevent disease, remove affected leaves and fruits.
3. Bacterial wilt. Brown or yellow rings with pathogenic mucus appear on the stem of the plant. Bacteria spread from the soil. To combat the disease, the affected plant must be destroyed.

To protect tomatoes from insects, the bushes are treated with a soap solution (1 piece per bucket of water) or wormwood solution. Chemical preparations are also used, for example, “Barrier”.

We grow seedlings

50-60 days before planting in open ground or a greenhouse, the seeds are soaked in warm water and sown in containers with drainage holes filled with prepared soil (you can buy ready-made soil in the store).

Carefully! At high temperatures and strong shading, seedlings tend to stretch. The optimal temperature for germination is 25 degrees Celsius

The optimal temperature for germination is 25 degrees Celsius.

Water and feed tomatoes as needed. Plants with two or three leaves (not counting cotyledons) germinate 10 days after complete germination of the seeds.

Seedlings begin to be hardened in air two weeks before planting in the ground, gradually accustoming the young shoots to direct sunlight.

Landing in the ground

When the ground temperature at a depth of 10-15 cm has settled at +14°C, the seedlings are planted in the ground in previously prepared holes. Three bushes per 1 m². After planting, they are watered with warm water.

Attention. Miracle of the earth - tall variety

The plants are tied up immediately upon planting. The support must be strong.

After two days, pinching is carried out and leaves that grow above 30 cm above the ground are removed from the shoot.

These tomatoes love moderate watering, because... Excess moisture changes their taste.

Peat, humus, rotted grass, hay are good fertilizers for tomatoes. It begins 2 weeks after planting the seedlings in the ground and is carried out every 14 days.

When the fruits begin to set and ripen, the tomatoes also need feeding. To do this, use nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus preparations, infusions of cut (fresh) grass or mullein, alternating the use of mineral and organic fertilizers.

Reference. During the growth period, tomatoes need nitrogen, and when the fruits set - potassium and phosphorus. Fresh manure cannot be used to feed plants!

Tomato Miracle of the Earth is grown in two stems. When the bush takes root and grows, remove leaves and twigs at a height of up to 30 cm from the ground. Select the most powerful stepson and save it as a second stem. Further pinching is carried out every 10-14 days.

This variety does not require preventive treatment against diseases, because has strong immunity to most of them.

Systematic loosening, weed removal, watering and fertilizing are the key to a good harvest.

Plant care

The most guaranteed way to grow tomatoes, including hybrids, is through seedlings.

Comment! Grown up tomato seedlings, with 5-7 true leaves, grow very quickly, absorbing a lot of water. During this period, it is necessary to ensure sufficient watering.

First stage

Seeds are sown in March or April in moist soil, deepening one to one and a half centimeters. The timing must be adjusted depending on the time of planting young plants in a permanent place. Seedlings must be 50-60 days old. And the soil in the greenhouse should warm up to 15-160 C. The same temperature is comfortable for tomato plants at night. During the day it can rise to 22-250 C.

• In the first days of seedling growth, the soil is kept slightly moist;
• The air temperature should be lower - up to 160 C, so that the sprouts do not stretch;
• Containers with young, tender stems of tomatoes are turned with different sides towards the light so that they do not grow obliquely;
• When the sprouts become strong and uniform, the temperature is increased for the successful development of young plants;
• As soon as the second true leaf appears, the plants are pruned, cutting off the tip of the central root and planted in separate containers.

Important! Two weeks after diving, the seedlings are fed with sodium humate so that the root system develops more intensively. There are reviews about the rapid growth of the Khlynovsky hybrid

According to the description, seedlings from f1 tomato seeds began to form inflorescences already at the age of 50 days. By the way, such inflorescences, no matter how sorry they may be, must be removed. The plant needs to devote a lot of effort to acclimatization

There are reviews about the rapid growth of the Khlynovsky hybrid. According to the description, seedlings from f1 tomato seeds began to form inflorescences already at the age of 50 days. By the way, such inflorescences, no matter how sorry they may be, must be removed. The plant needs to devote a lot of effort to acclimatization.

Landing

First, the seedlings, which have already formed at least seven or nine leaves, must be hardened off over the course of a week by taking them out into the fresh air for several hours.

• In April, tomato seedlings are planted in heated greenhouses. Under film or non-woven covers - in May, and in open ground - until June 10-15;
• Plants should be placed according to a 70x40 pattern, so that there are no more than 3 tomato bushes per square meter;
• Feeding is also carried out: at the bottom of the hole, 4-5 centimeters away from the intended location of the tomato roots, place one teaspoon of double superphosphate;
• In the third week after planting in the ground, the tomato bushes are hilled. Then, after fifteen days, re-hilling is carried out to form an additional root system;
• Periodically the soil is loosened.

Watering

For the first few days, the planted plants are watered in the evening every day, at the root. In a greenhouse, watering tomatoes is best done in the morning. The best option is drip systems, then water will not fall on the stem and leaves of the tomatoes. Subsequently, the area with tomatoes is moderately watered once every 4-5 days, depending on weather conditions. During the period of fruit ripening, watering becomes more frequent - this is one of the agrotechnical requirements for Khlynovsky tomatoes.

Feeding

Tomato Khlynovsky needs to be fertilized several times per season. When the first fruits reach 1.5-2 cm in diameter, feed them with a mineral solution: per 10 liters of water take 20 g of ammonium nitrate, 30 g of potassium sulfate, 10 g of magnesium sulfate and 25 ml of three percent potassium humate. Such fertilizing should be carried out every week during the ripening of the first fruit clusters.

Bush formation

In greenhouses, the bushes of these tomatoes usually grow into one trunk; in open ground, they grow two more stems.

• First, for the second stem, a stepson is left, which is placed under the first inflorescence;
• Then for the third - the next one after the same inflorescence;
• All other stepsons are superfluous, they are cut off one per week, leaving a small stump on the trunk;
• It is also necessary to remove the lower leaves on all bushes - for air access;
• Tomato bushes are tied up, branches with tassels are propped up so that they do not break off under the weight of the fruit.

Caring for the plants of this hybrid is not particularly labor-intensive, and the care will be returned in the form of juicy, appetizing fruits on the table. Fresh, just picked from our garden.

Characteristics

Advantages of the variety:

• compact, low bush;
• high productivity;
• excellent presentation;
• high safety during transportation;
• universal use of fruits;
• undemanding gartering and pinching;
• the variety is adapted to cold weather;
• resistance to late blight.

Based on numerous reviews received from gardeners, no shortcomings were identified.

The yields of other varieties are presented in the table below:

Features of growing Kemerovo tomato in open ground

The main advantage of this variety is its ease of care.

To obtain a good harvest in the future, it will be enough to pay special attention to growing seedlings. Care for adult bushes is minimal

They will need to be watered several times a week, loosen the soil around them, and remove weeds. If necessary,1 mineral and organic fertilizers can be applied. If the plants grow well and produce a large number of ovaries, then fertilizing is not necessary. In this case, they will even be redundant.

I grow seedlings as follows:

1. Before planting seeds, they must be disinfected and germinate. Planting material can be disinfected in a solution of iodine or potassium permanganate. The solution should be warm. Pour the seeds into the water and leave for 15 minutes.
2. After this, you can germinate the planting material. For germination you will need natural fabric or gauze. It should be moistened. Cover the seeds and place in a warm place, for example, on a radiator. After 2 days, sprouts should appear. Such seeds can be planted in the ground.
3. If the soil is taken from the garden, then it is warmed to room temperature and only then the seeds are sown. For planting, you can also use a special substrate for vegetables, purchased at the store.
4. Place drainage (egg shells, small pebbles, pebbles or expanded clay) at the bottom of the container, cover it with soil and water it.
5. Make small holes and plant seeds. Water by watering method.
6. In order for the seedlings to start sprouting faster, you can create a “greenhouse” effect. The containers are covered with glass and put in a dark place where there is no sunlight. If you leave the boxes in the sun, you can burn all the sprouts.
7. Every 3 days the glass is removed and the soil is ventilated and watered if necessary.
8. When the seedlings appear, the glass is removed and the boxes are placed in the sun.
9. You can pick the bushes after the first full leaves appear on them.

You can plant seedlings in open ground at the end of May. If spring was late, then at the beginning of June.

I planted the seedlings this way:

• Dig up the soil, mix it with manure or bird droppings;
• Plant seedlings without deepening them;
• Water generously. You can cover it with a warm cloth at night. You will have to cover until the bushes get used to the new place and get stronger.

Subsequent care for tomatoes is standard for all varieties.

Growing seedlings

Seeds are sown in the beds when the soil warms up to 10°C and there is no threat of frost. Usually this is the first ten days of May. For seedlings, the dates are shifted back by 2-3 weeks (the first ten days of April).

A simple procedure can speed up the emergence of seedlings. Place the seeds in a warm solution (1%) of potassium permanganate for 1 hour, then spread them on damp gauze and place in a warm place for 1-2 days. During this time, the germinated seeds will sprout. Plant both in open ground and in seedling cups at a shallow depth, about 1.5 cm.

You need nutritious soil with good water permeability. In the garden, in the fall it is necessary to add humus or any other organic fertilizer to the beds.

Note! Good predecessors for tomatoes are garden crops such as legumes, onions and garlic, and cabbage.

Before planting, superphosphate is added to open ground based on the control time for emergence of seedlings from the moment of sowing - 7-10 days.

Seedling containers must be provided with drainage. Dried and crushed eggshells into large pieces are well suited for these purposes. In this case, it can be safely left in the holes when replanting plants in the beds. At the age of 1 week, the seedlings must be ventilated, and from the 2nd week - taken out into the open air in the afternoon for hardening for 2-3 hours.

Crops need watering only if natural precipitation is insufficient. The variety does not like waterlogged soil. One watering per week is enough. But the bushes respond to fertilizing and periodic loosening of the soil and hilling with active growth and an increase in the number of ovaries.

Tomato Kemerovo ripens

Both complex mineral fertilizers and humate fertilizers can be used as nutrient mixtures. During the season you will need to fertilize 2-3 times.

Harvesting

Visually, ripe Kemerovo tomatoes are clearly visible on the bushes, and it is noted that ripening is smooth.

Therefore, the gardener needs to be prepared to process the crop in a short time or store it for long-term storage. At temperatures no higher than 40C, tomatoes can be stored for several months. They also tolerate long-distance transportation well, so the variety is often purchased to obtain marketable products.

The Kemerovo tomato is an early ripening variety. It takes 100 days from sowing to harvesting the first harvest. This variety is suitable for growing in greenhouses in the Northern region. Therefore, planting tomatoes occurs only through sowing seedlings.

One of the key points is choosing the right seeds. It is best to buy seeds from trusted sellers. The manufacturer must be indicated on the bag, their contact address and telephone number, the name of the variety, the weight or number of seeds in the bag, the date of packaging or the deadline for sale. The period for selling seeds should be no more than two years. Naturally, the type of packaging itself should not raise doubts about the quality.

The Kemerovo tomato is sown in early March in well-fertilized soil. When three permanent leaves appear, the plants dive. Then they need regular watering and sufficient lighting. In May, tomatoes can be taken outside for hardening or the greenhouse can be opened. When the threat of frost has passed, the plants can be safely planted in open ground. If the planting is in a greenhouse, then you can plant it a little earlier.

The Kemerovets tomato does not need support or pinching. They grow well under any conditions. They will only need a couple of feedings throughout the entire season. For successful harvesting, it is enough to periodically water and weed them.

The variety does not have high care requirements. You can start sowing work as early as March.

Important. To obtain

high yield

, it is enough to pay attention to the seedlings.

First you need to familiarize yourself with the technology of its cultivation.

1. Preparation of planting material. First of all, the seeds need to be disinfected. To do this, they should be placed in a solution of potassium permanganate and left for 15 minutes. After which the seeds need to be germinated. They must be placed in a damp cloth, put in a warm place, and allowed to lie for 2 days. As soon as sprouts appear, the seeds can be sown in the ground.
2. Soil preparation. If soil from the site is used for planting, it must be warmed to room temperature. For convenience, you can use a ready-made substrate, which can be purchased at a specialized store.
3. Planting seeds. To grow tomatoes you need to prepare containers. A drainage layer needs to be laid at the bottom. It is advisable to use eggshells, pebbles or expanded clay as drainage. Next, you need to make depressions in the ground, plant seeds, and water the crops. Cover everything on top with glass and place the containers in a dark place.

Note. If the seedlings are not protected from sunlight, the sprouts may get burned.

You can plant plants in the garden as early as May. As soon as the threat of frost has passed, you can begin sowing. First of all, you need to prepare the soil, dig it up, and add organic fertilizers. Manure or bird droppings can be used as organic matter.

Then you need to make holes and plant the seedlings. Plants should not be deepened too much. Finally, watering should be carried out and the plants should be covered with material. As soon as the seedlings get used to the new place, the shelter can be removed.

Kemerovo tomatoes grow and bear fruit on almost any soil, tolerate drought well, are moisture resistant and maintain their productivity even with minimal care, which makes it simply indispensable for our plots.

Description of the plant

According to the description of the variety, the bush is low-growing, its height does not exceed half a meter, the tomatoes do not require garter, which in itself makes the plant very convenient to grow without much hassle.

The leaves are ordinary, characteristic of all tomatoes, and the fruits ripen quite early and almost simultaneously.

Where is the variety grown?

Due to its properties, the variety is grown in almost all regions of Russia, including Siberia, the Urals and the Far East.

Yield level

According to those who planted this variety in regions with a mild climate and fertile soil, the plant shows real miracles of productivity - from 5-6 bushes you can harvest up to 20 kg of vegetables.

Seed material should be sown around mid-March. It is not difficult to grow seedlings from seeds if you follow the following rules:

• prepare a weak warm solution of iodine or potassium permanganate - 2-3 drops per glass of water or a few crystals on the tip of a knife. Just pour the seeds into a glass of solutions and leave for 15-20 minutes;
• for sowing, it is advisable to purchase ready-made soil in the store, which must be warmed to room temperature before sowing;
• the seeds are sown directly into the ground, although for quick germination you can first keep them in damp gauze, placing it together with the seeds in a warm place for 2-3 days;
• after the seeds are buried approximately 0.5 cm, the soil should be properly moistened;
• containers with seeds are covered with glass and placed away from direct sunlight so that the sprouts do not burn. The glass should be periodically lifted for a while to allow the seedlings to “breathe”;
• as soon as the borings get a little stronger, the glass should be removed and the containers should be placed on the windowsills, closer to the sun;
• After 2-3 true leaves appear on the sprouts, the seedlings can be planted in different cups.

Seedlings are planted in warm soil

Seedlings are planted after the earth has finally warmed up, that is, not earlier than the end of May - beginning of June, depending on the region.

Despite the fact that Kemerovo tomatoes can easily withstand low temperatures, frost can be disastrous for fragile babies.

In order for tomatoes to feel good all season, the place for them must be carefully prepared:

• choose a sunny area - any tomatoes, regardless of variety, prefer well-lit areas;
• dig up the bed, removing, if possible, all weeds and grass roots;
• make small holes at a distance of about 30 cm from each other;
• pour a little manure or rotted compost into each hole;
• carefully place the seedlings in the holes at an angle and sprinkle them with soil;
• thoroughly rinse all wells with warm water.

Seedlings can be mulched with manure or peat; tomatoes are very responsive to feeding. Plants need to be watered more often. Until they are completely strengthened, you can do this every evening.

The main advantage of this variety is its ease of care. To obtain a good harvest in the future, it will be enough to pay special attention to growing seedlings. Care for mature bushes is minimal. They will need to be watered several times a week, loosen the soil around them, and remove weeds. If necessary,1 mineral and organic fertilizers can be applied. If the plants grow well and produce a large number of ovaries, then fertilizing is not necessary. In this case, they will even be redundant.

Agricultural technology. Tomato "Kemerovets"

In fact, there are varieties of different types of crops that have many advantages in everything and are a pleasure to grow. And this applies one hundred percent to Kemerovo. This tomato is early, so you can plant the seeds in the first and second ten days of March. So that by the time of planting in open ground, the threat of frost has already passed in your region. Somewhere it’s the beginning of May, somewhere it’s June.

You can do pre-sowing treatment, or you can exclude this stage. But we would recommend that you mark the seeds, for example, in “Zircon”, so that in the future the bushes will have even more immunity, grow and develop better. It’s fast and you can buy this drug anywhere at a budget price. Next, you sow in nutrient soil, which is also sold everywhere. If you want to make your own soil, then take soil from the garden, pour boiling water over it, weigh either a complex mineral preparation, or humus, with sand and ash, or peat. You moisten the crops and cover them with film, shoots will appear within 7-10 days. Remove the film, now you simply water the seedlings, and when there are three leaves, make a pick. At this point, apply mineral fertilizer.

Now your seedlings only need light, watering, loosening, turning towards the sun so that the stems do not bend. Start preparing the soil on the site about a week in advance. You can dig up the soil with humus or peat, or add a spoonful of superphosphate into the holes during planting. You can also additionally pour boiling water with manganese onto the soil to destroy the pathogenic environment and parasites. Bushes can be planted quite compactly - 7-8 per square meter.

In general, you will not have any difficulties. You plant the seedlings in nutritious soil, pour about a liter of water under the root. There is no need to install supports; all that is needed is good watering as it dries, and loosening. Apply organic fertilizer 2-3 times during the season, this will increase productivity, ripening speed, and increase immunity.

No significant deficiencies were identified in the Kemerovo tomato variety.

The variety is an early one. The fruits ripen 102 days after the seeds are planted. The bush reaches a height of 50 cm. The plants have few leaves, they are of medium size and green in color.

The Kemerovo tomato was bred in the Russian Federation. This variety is included in the State Register as one of the best varieties selected in the Northern region.

Among the advantages of the Kemerovo variety, gardeners note:

• Cold resistance.
• High resistance to late blight.
• High yield of commercial products.
• Suitable for preparing various dishes, salting.
• Excellent transportability.

The description of Kemerovo tomatoes does not contain any indication of shortcomings, just as the gardeners who tested the variety did not note them.

Summer residents have long paid attention to Kemerovets tomatoes. The variety has many positive characteristics

When the seedlings grow a little, the containers are transferred to a lighted place or under special lamps. The film or glass is removed. Young bushes dive after 1-2 leaves appear on them. Before planting in permanent soil, seedlings must be hardened off for 7 days.

It is recommended to plant seedlings on open ground in the last ten days of May, and if spring is late, then this procedure is postponed to the beginning of June.

The format for planting young bushes is 0.3x0.5 m. Before this, the soil is disinfected with potassium permanganate. The soil in the garden bed is loosened and bird droppings are added to it. Seedlings are planted in shallow trenches, but the stems are not buried. After planting the plants, they are watered with warm water. Cover the tomatoes with a cloth for 10-15 days. After the danger of an unexpected drop in temperature has disappeared, the seedlings are freed from the covering.

I planted the seedlings this way:

• Dig up the soil, mix it with manure or bird droppings;
• Plant seedlings without deepening them;
• Water generously. You can cover it with a warm cloth at night. You will have to cover until the bushes get used to the new place and get stronger.

Subsequent care for tomatoes is standard for all varieties.

Description of tomato variety Kemerovo

Kemerovo tomatoes were introduced relatively recently by breeders from Western Siberia. The variety is included in the state register as a nightshade crop intended for cultivation in unfavorable climatic conditions. Plants can be grown in open and closed ground.

Description of the variety is one of the main points that must be studied before purchasing seeds. Just looking at a photo of a tomato will not be enough. First of all, it is worth noting that tomatoes belong to determinate, low-growing varieties. The height of the main stem of the plant does not exceed 55 cm . One of the advantages of the Kemerovo tomato is that it does not have to be tied up, and side shoots need to be constantly removed.

The bushes are not leafy, the leaves are of the usual shape, characteristic of tomatoes. The plant belongs to varieties with early ripening. From the moment the seeds are planted until the first fruits turn red, as a rule, no more than 100-103 days pass. The harvest is ripening en masse. You can grow a good harvest on light, nutritious soils. It is also worth noting that bushes rarely suffer from such a common disease among tomatoes as late blight.

Varietal features

Kemerovo tomatoes grow and bear fruit on almost any soil, tolerate drought well, are moisture resistant and maintain their productivity even with minimal care, which makes it simply indispensable for our plots.

Description of the plant

According to the description of the variety, the bush is low-growing, its height does not exceed half a meter, the tomatoes do not require garter, which in itself makes the plant very convenient to grow without much hassle.

The leaves are ordinary, characteristic of all tomatoes, and the fruits ripen quite early and almost simultaneously.

The following distinctive features of the fruit can be noted:

• they have a very interesting shape, reminiscent of a heart, they look beautiful and appetizing;
• the color is bright, rich, crimson;
• average weight – 120 g, maximum – 250 g;
• there is no sense of sourness in the pulp;
• due to the high yield, you can get 5 kg of fruit from one bush;
• Tomatoes of this variety tolerate storage and transportation well.

Where is the variety grown?

Due to its properties, the variety is grown in almost all regions of Russia, including Siberia, the Urals and the Far East.

Yield level

According to those who planted this variety in regions with a mild climate and fertile soil, the plant shows real miracles of productivity - from 5-6 bushes you can harvest up to 20 kg of vegetables.

Reviews

“Last year I planted just a dozen Kemerovo tomato bushes and they fed us for the year ahead. I have never seen such a phenomenal harvest. There were a lot of tomatoes on the bushes. There was enough for us to pickle and share with friends.”

“We have been planting Kemerovets tomatoes in our greenhouse for several years now. There is no hassle with them, I don’t worry that they will freeze and all the work will go to waste. Beautiful raspberry fruits, lots of them and delicious.”

“We plant different tomatoes at our dacha, but the beautiful highlight on our site are the Kemerovets tomatoes. Small and remote. This is just about them. Small bushes bring a truly huge harvest.”

“We collect the last tomatoes just before frost, and they are barely brown in color. In a cool place I lay them out in one row, and they gradually ripen. I really like Kemerovets tomatoes. They last a long time, ripen to their color and have an excellent taste.”

Growing

For the Kemerovo variety, seedling cultivation is used. The plant's seedlings are very unpretentious and form quite quickly. Typically, the seedling stage of the Kemerovo tomato does not last more than 1.5 months (the vast majority of varieties have a seedling growth period of about 2 months).

Growing seedlings

Seeds are planted for seedlings in mid-February or early March for greenhouse cultivation or in early April for outdoor cultivation. Before planting, it is advisable to disinfect the seeds in a 0.1% solution of potassium permanganate, after which they need to be dried and soaked for a day for pre-germination.

Planting is carried out in seedling boxes or individual pots filled with ordinary garden soil or substrate. It consists of a mixture of peat and sand, taken in equal proportions. The seeds are buried by 3-5 mm.

Next, the seedlings undergo a standard procedure: they are covered with film and sent to a warm and dark place until the first shoots appear. After the first shoots appear, the seedlings are placed on the windowsill of the south window.

Watering the seedlings should be timely and combined with 2-3 fertilizing with complex fertilizers, repeated once every 2 weeks.

If planting in a common container was used, it is recommended to pick the plants into individual containers. Typically, picking is carried out after the appearance of two true leaves. After picking, the plants cannot be fed for a week.

Before planting in a greenhouse or open ground, it is necessary to carry out a hardening procedure for seedlings that lasts one week.

Landing rules

Kemerovo tomato seedlings are ready for planting in a permanent place after 40 days. Planting of seedlings in open ground is carried out in the middle or end of May. Seedlings can be planted in the greenhouse much earlier - in early or mid-April.

For planting, dig holes 15 cm deep, pour a large amount of water into them and wait until it completely disappears. In this case, the soil at the bottom of the hole acquires the consistency of liquid slurry. Plants are replanted with a clod of earth so as not to injure the root system.

Planting is done in several rows according to a pattern of 30 by 40 cm. It is not recommended to place more than 4 bushes per 1 square meter. m landings. The optimal arrangement of the bushes is in a checkerboard pattern.

Watering and fertilizing

Watering of adult plants is carried out as the soil dries. When watering, you should pour water at the very root of the plant so that it does not fall on the leaves. It is recommended to water with warm, settled water, 2-3 °C above the air temperature.

To avoid loosening after each watering, it is recommended to mulch the soil around the tomatoes with straw or freshly cut grass.

During the growing season, organic fertilizers are preferred. To do this, use ash or herbal infusions once a week. Before flowering, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied once.

Pinching and tying

The Kemerovo tomato variety is very convenient in care regarding the formation of the bush, since it does not require any tying or pinching.

Formation

The bush is formed into one stem. Since the Kemerovo tomato is determinate, there is no need to pinch the top. The growth of the bush in height ends without human intervention - with the appearance of the first flower cluster, it stops on its own.

Since all determinate varieties form flowers earlier than others, the bush quickly stops its growth and begins to form new brushes, which, in fact, ensures its early ripening.

Protection from diseases and pests

The Kemerovo tomato has immunity to late blight and good resistance to other fungal diseases, but it is impossible to give a 100% guarantee that the variety is invulnerable to them. For example, almost all residents of a garden can become infected with powdery mildew.

To combat diseases, most of which are fungal diseases, standard methods are used - spraying bushes and root zones with copper-containing preparations. If characteristic symptoms of fungal diseases appear, it is necessary to spray the plants with a 1% solution of Bordeaux mixture once every two weeks.

The main pests of the variety in question are typical representatives of the animal world, specializing in nightshade crops - Colorado potato beetles, wireworms and mole crickets. Since each of them relates to insects, chemical insecticides, for example, Arrivo or Decis, will be effective.

Optimal growing conditions

The Kemerovo tomato is unpretentious: seedlings can be planted in open ground when the temperature rises above + 10 °C. For better survival and rapid growth, it is recommended to use high beds (up to 30 cm), consisting of fertile soil or a mixture of soil and humus, taken in equal proportions.

It is recommended to place the plantings in a sunny area with the beds protected from the wind from the north side. The best predecessors of tomatoes are pumpkin and cruciferous plants. It is not recommended to grow tomatoes in place of nightshade crops for at least 2 seasons.

In the case of greenhouse cultivation, special attention should be paid to disinfection of the soil in the greenhouse. It is recommended to place the greenhouse with the long side from east to west, and the plants are best planted in two or three rows.

How to grow seedlings

Early ripening tomatoes in the southern regions can also be grown without seedlings. In this case, the seeds are immediately sown in the ground. With this method of cultivating tomatoes, the harvest is obtained late.

The seedling method of growing tomatoes is suitable for all regions. It is this type of agricultural technology that allows you to get an early harvest.

Seeds for seedlings are sown 45-55 days before they are planted in a permanent place. The colder the climate, the later they start growing tomatoes. Depending on the region, the time for sowing planting material varies from early March to early April.

Seed preparation

Seeds of varietal tomatoes are collected independently or purchased at gardening stores. The endurance of plants largely depends on the quality of planting material.

The seeds are soaked in salted water (1 teaspoon of salt per 1 cup of water). Only those specimens that are capable of sprouting will sink to the bottom.

The seeds are disinfected. This stage will protect the plants in the future from infection by various infections. To do this, planting material is soaked in one of the following products:

• light pink solution of potassium permanganate - for 20 minutes;
• hydrogen peroxide – for 15 minutes;
• “Fitosporin” – for 4 hours;
• aloe juice diluted in half with water - for 12 hours.

To speed up seed germination, increase cold resistance and immunity to negative environmental factors, they are soaked in a growth stimulator. They use both purchased formulations (Epin, Sodium Humate) and homemade products (aloe or potato juice).

Selection of containers and soil

The soil should be loose and contain nutrients. You can buy it at the store or prepare it yourself. Black soil is taken as the base, equal parts of humus and sawdust are added to it.

The soil is treated with a disinfectant composition: a dark pink solution of potassium permanganate, boiling water or copper sulfate. Some gardeners bake the soil in the oven.

Seeds of inexpensive tomatoes are usually sown in a common container. Special trays and boxes or cut-off bottles, disposable deep plates and other available containers are suitable.

When the seedlings grow, they are planted in individual pots. Use any deep container with a volume of 300-500 ml with drainage holes.

Containers are also disinfected. They are soaked for half an hour in a solution of potassium permanganate.

Sowing

To speed up seed germination (in 2-3 days), moisten a cotton cloth with water, lay the seeds on it, leaving small distances between them. The top of the planting material is covered with a damp cloth or paper. Containers with blanks are placed in a warm place, adding water as needed.

The hatched seeds are sown into separate cups using tweezers (it is better to use peat cups; they are lowered into the ground along with the seedlings). Deepen by 1 cm, no more.

Most gardeners simply sow the treated seeds in rows in boxes filled with soil. They are sprinkled with a centimeter layer of earth on top. The soil is moistened with a spray bottle.

Containers with planting material are covered with film and put in a warm place. Every 2 days the film is opened slightly for ventilation, and the soil is moistened.
