General description of the variety

Bourgeois f1 is a first generation tomato hybrid . It was developed by crossing two other varieties. This makes it impossible to sow seeds from your own harvest. The hybrid was bred by Ukrainian breeders in Odessa. In 2004 it was included in the Russian state register.

Diseases and pests

“Bourgeois” has a very high resistance to almost all typical diseases, which does not exempt gardeners from prevention. In order for the plant to be healthy and bear fruit, it is necessary to follow the watering and lighting regime, loosen and fertilize the soil in time .

The most commonly attacked pests are spider mites and slugs. To combat mites, use a strong soap solution, which is used to wipe the areas of the plant affected by the insect, washing them away and creating an environment unsuitable for their life. This will not harm the plant.

In the southern regions, the most common pest of this species is the Colorado potato beetle. The drug “Prestige” is used against it.

Growing seedlings

Like other mid-season hybrids, Bourgeois in our country is grown exclusively by seedlings. Seeds are sown in the ground 45-60 days before the intended planting in a permanent place.

The time for sowing planting material depends on the climate of the region:

  • southern - at the end of February or beginning of March;
  • moderate - in the second half of March;
  • northern - in early April.

How to prepare seeds for planting

Many manufacturers process their products in factories. Prepared seeds are usually colored orange or green . Etching information is indicated on the packaging. If untreated seed is used, disinfection is necessary. Without it, the risks of plant infection and death due to negative environmental conditions increase.

Seeds must be disinfected . Compositions in which they are soaked:

  • solution of potassium permanganate (1 g per 100 ml of water);
  • copper sulfate (1 g per 1 liter of water);
  • phytosporin (2 drops per 1 cup of water);
  • aloe juice (diluted with water 1:1);
  • soda solution (1 tsp per 1 cup of water);
  • hydrogen peroxide.

Note! Soda solution and aloe juice not only disinfect planting material, but also have growth stimulating properties.

Before dressing, the seeds are soaked in a glass of water.
Floated specimens will not germinate. Before planting, seeds are treated with growth stimulants.

There are several options for accelerating the germination of planting material :

  • soaking in purchased products (“Epin”, “Zircon”, “Sodium Humate”);
  • soaking in homemade products (honey water, which is prepared from 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 cup of water);
  • preliminary germination in damp cloth.

What containers and soil to choose

Light but nutritious soil is suitable for tomatoes . It is prepared from a base and nutrient substrate taken in equal proportions. Add ½ baking powder to the resulting mixture. Compound:

  • base - garden soil, peat, black soil;
  • nutrient substrate - humus;
  • baking powder - sand, sawdust, shredded coconut.

Ash (1 tbsp per 10 l) and superphosphate (1 matchbox per 10 l) are added to the soil Ready-made soil mixtures are also sold in gardening stores. Choose a special soil for tomatoes and peppers or a universal soil.

Tomato seeds are usually sown in a common box . After the seedlings have grown, they are planted in individual containers with a volume of at least 300 ml. Containers and soil must be disinfected. A dark pink solution of potassium permanganate is most often used.

Sowing seeds

Bourgeois is an inexpensive hybrid that tolerates picks well . Soil is poured into the boxes. When it warms up, water it with warm water. Prepare grooves 1 cm deep. Seeds are sown in them at a distance of 3 cm from each other. Then all the depressions are covered with earth.

Boxes with planting material are covered with film . They are placed in a room with a temperature of 23-26 °C. In such conditions, the seeds will germinate quickly.

Rules for caring for seedlings

Tomato seedlings need regular care. There are several basic rules for growing this crop :

  1. When shoots appear, the film is removed. The boxes are moved for a week to a place with a temperature of 17 °C. This will prevent the tomatoes from pulling out prematurely.
  2. Tomatoes are brought into a room with a temperature of 20-22 °C.
  3. As the top layer of soil dries, the seedlings are watered. Use settled water. Water tomatoes only at the root.
  4. When two true leaves form on the plants, they are transplanted into separate containers, carefully holding them by the leaves. Drainage is placed at the bottom of the pots, which will protect the plants from blackleg. After picking, water the tomatoes. After this, the soil is not moistened for 10 days.
  5. During the entire period of growing seedlings, they are fed 3 times. The first time, a solution of ash and superphosphate is added (for 5 liters of water, take 10 tablespoons of ash and 1 teaspoon of superphosphate). The second time, chicken manure is used, diluted 1:10. Phosphorus-potassium fertilizing is applied for the last time.
  6. 10 days before planting tomatoes in the ground, seedlings begin to harden. It is taken outside during the warm part of the day, increasing the time of stay daily.

Agricultural technology Bourgeois

Bourgeois is planted in a permanent place when the seedlings have become stronger and the soil temperature at a depth of 12 cm reaches 15 °C.

Exact drop-off times vary by region:

  • cities with a warm climate - end of April;
  • regions with a temperate climate - the second ten days of May;
  • northern regions – early June.

Bourgeois is grown in open and closed ground. In both cases, yield indicators are stable .

Picking to a permanent place

For tomatoes, choose a place in the sunniest part of the garden. Groundwater should not be located too close to the surface of the earth.

The beds are prepared in the fall . They are dug up, cleared of plant debris and mixed with humus. For 1 sq. m, 6 kg of fertilizers are applied. In spring, the beds are leveled with a rake and cleared of weeds. The soil is watered with hot copper sulfate.

Advice! Tomatoes grow well on their own tops. In the fall, tomato bushes are picked, crushed and watered with a solution of potassium permanganate. The grass is then buried in the beds where the tomatoes will grow next year.

The holes are dug in rows in a checkerboard pattern. For 1 sq. m fits 4-5 plants. 1 tbsp is poured into the holes. l. land. Some gardeners believe that it is useful to place 1 small fish in the recesses for tomatoes. Before planting, the seedlings are carefully removed from the pots. They are planted together with a lump of earth. The depressions are covered with earth and watered with warm water, spending 1 liter of water on each plant.

Basic rules of care

It is recommended to tie up the bourgeois . Despite the fact that it belongs to determinate hybrids, its bushes are tall and its stems are brittle. Therefore, it is necessary to tie up not only the main stem, but also heavy clusters with fruits.

The bush does not need to be formed . Its productivity is ensured precisely by its spreading nature. It is recommended to regularly remove leaves at the bottom of the leaf. The procedure is carried out once a week, removing no more than 3 leaves.

Water the tomatoes 2 times a week , using 3 liters of warm water per plant. After each watering, the soil is loosened and weeds are removed.

Tomato beds are mulched with rotted straw, hay or humus. This layer will protect the roots of the plants from unfavorable environmental factors and will serve as additional feeding.

Fertilizers are applied 3-4 times per season (depending on the composition of the soil). The intervals between feedings are at least 2 weeks.

Care

Despite the fact that the trunk of the plant is very strong, it is still advisable to tie it up as necessary. But you can do without it. But the branches that hold heavy fruits must be strengthened with pegs or other supports.

The formation of a bush in a greenhouse takes place in 3 stems by pinching, and in the conditions of balcony plant life - in 2 branches.

Plant diseases

“Apparently invisible” is quite resistant to various diseases. However, it can still be affected by bacterial black spot. Special preparations that can be purchased in specialized stores will help cure the plant from this disease.

In case of fruit rotting, the bush is treated with a solution of calcium nitrate and at the same time the volume of watering is reduced.

The “Apparently Invisible” tomato variety is very versatile. Caring for it is simple and does not require deep knowledge of agriculture. Thanks to this, it can be recommended to both experienced summer residents and beginners.

The main nuances of cultivation in open and protected ground

Bourgeois is equally easy to grow in open and protected ground .
When choosing one of the methods, consider some nuances. Air circulates indoors worse than outside. This contributes to the spread of infections in the greenhouse and stagnation of moisture . To avoid such problems, the room is regularly ventilated. To protect the premises from pests, the windows are covered with mesh.

Tomatoes in the greenhouse are watered only once a week. Liquid from indoor beds evaporates more slowly.

Before planting seedlings in a greenhouse, it is recommended to spray the walls with copper sulfate . The soil in the beds where tomatoes previously grew is replaced with new soil.

In open ground, it is important to protect plants from night frosts. To do this, they are covered with film every evening for the first 2 weeks.

Tomato Kuum

This is an early, productive, tall, indeterminate tomato variety for greenhouses.

The bush is large and spreading, 1.8-2 meters high. Requires tying to the support and pinning. The best results were obtained when forming a plant with 1 or 2 stems.

Basic qualities of fruits

The fruits are flat-round, ribbed at the stalk, red in color at maturity, weighing from 300-400 grams (up to 1 kg), sugary, with small seeds. These tomatoes are good for fresh consumption and making juices and sauces.

Features of cultivation, planting and care

We recommend sowing the seeds of this tomato variety for seedlings 60-65 days before the intended planting in the ground. Seedlings dive at the stage of two true leaves. When planting seedlings in a permanent place per 1 sq. Up to 3 plants are placed per meter of the prepared area.

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