Minuses:
- Fruits of different sizes and shapes. From small, round 120-150 grams to large, slightly ribbed, beefsteak type, weighing 350-500 grams.
- Prolonged heat leads to the loss of peduncles and ovaries in open ground.
- Difficulties with formation. Many gardeners write that sometimes an indeterminate tomato begins to behave like a determinate one. Some of the stems voluntarily stop their growth, while others continue to grow and produce ovaries.
Main characteristics
Since the Blue Lagoon variety is classified as indeterminate by plant type, this means that it has no growth restrictions, so it needs to be formed and tied to a support.
The resistance of the Blue Lagoon variety to diseases is also associated with a high content of anthocyanins, which can reduce the softening of fruits when they are overripe. This, in turn, increases the plant’s resistance to such a typical nightshade disease as gray mold (Botrytis cinerea).
The fact is that infection with the gray rot fungus contributes to an “oxidative explosion” in the soft tissues of the fruit. In purple tomatoes, due to their antioxidant capacity, this oxidative reaction is localized and, thanks to this, the spread of the fungus is inhibited.
The photo demonstrates the experimentally established susceptibility of the red areas of the fruit, where the key anthocyanin enzyme is missing, to softening and damage by gray rot:
Necessary in any case, the prevention of gray rot and late blight is carried out with special preparations according to the instructions.
