Description of the tomato variety Zlatov, its characteristics and cultivation
The Zlatova tomato is a hybrid variety that has an unusual tomato color - orange with a tinge of yellowish color. The culture belongs to a variety of universal species, as it can be grown in outdoor and greenhouse conditions. The highest yields are achieved when grown in closed structures.
The culture belongs to varieties with an average ripening period. The bushes can reach a height of up to 1.5 m. It is recommended to form shoots into 1 or 2 main stems. Due to its high size, the plant needs staking and periodic pinching work.
Features of the fruit
When cut, the fruits have a reddish flesh. The average weight of a tomato is 100 grams. The fruits are round in shape and contain a small amount of seeds.
Description of the advantages of the hybrid variety:
- resistance to most tomato diseases;

- Can be used fresh and for canning.
Reviews from gardeners confirm the characteristics of the variety in the form of good taste and juicy tomato pulp. Tomatoes are ideal for fresh use in salads, as an ingredient in first and second courses.
Recommendations for planting
The culture involves the use of seedling growing methods. It is recommended to disinfect the seeds before planting. When using used containers, it is recommended to pre-treat them, which will reduce the risk of disease in seedlings.
Sowing of planting material is carried out from the end of March to April. The plant is demanding of sufficient sunlight, the amount of which will determine the height and health of the seedlings. For planting, select soil with a high peat content, the amount of which should be at least 40%. The soil requires the presence of a large amount of mineral components and microelements.
When using soil from a personal plot, preliminary treatment in the form of steaming or calcination is necessary.
It is recommended to place drainage material at the bottom of the planting container, which will remove excess moisture and prevent rotting of the roots. To do this, you can use small charcoal with pieces no larger than 6 cm in size, which is mixed with the ground. Sowing of seeds is carried out at a distance of 3 cm. After planting, the soil is treated with a weak solution of potassium humate using a sprayer.
After planting the seeds, the containers are placed in a dry room and the temperature is maintained within 30 C0. The first shoots appear on the 10th day. The seedlings need to be provided with a sufficient amount of light, otherwise they will stretch and thin. The temperature during the growing period of seedlings is 20 C0.
Recommendations for planting
Before planting in a place of permanent growth, seedlings are hardened off. To do this, a “hard” temperature regime is provided for 2 hours a day, reducing it at night to 15 C0, at night to 8 C0. The seedlings are ready for planting 55 days after emergence.
The soil is pre-prepared before planting. To do this, the following components are added to each meter:
- 55 grams - superphosphate;
- 55 grams - potassium sulfate;
- 50 grams - ammonium sulfate.
Planting is carried out at an air temperature of at least 13 C0. The recommended furrow width is 45 cm, planting is carried out at a depth of 20 cm. Before planting, it is recommended to fertilize the grooves with Fitosporin or Baikal. Before planting, the seedlings are not watered for 2 days, but 30 minutes before transplanting they are moistened abundantly. The first watering is carried out after 10 days. Further care involves standard agricultural cultivation techniques. A couple of weeks before ripening, they stop feeding the bushes with fertilizers.
Seed preparation
Sowing tomatoes for seedlings begins in late March - early April. To achieve a rich harvest, you need not only high-quality seeds, but also certain skills and knowledge. Before sowing, seeds must be disinfected.
Visually, it is almost impossible to distinguish diseased tomato seeds from healthy ones. It would be safer to first disinfect the seed material. There are several ways to destroy pests located inside and on the surface of seeds:
- Dry method. Place tomato seed material in the sun for several days - when heated under the sun's rays, the seeds will be disinfected and will germinate faster.
- Wet method. For half a liter of warm water, 1 teaspoon of potassium permanganate. Place tomato seeds in the solution and leave for half an hour at room temperature. Then rinse thoroughly and dry.

If possible, attach a photo of the entire bush or individual fruits you grew to your comment. Thank you!
Your reviews of the Lazybok tomato and additions to the description will help many gardeners evaluate this hybrid objectively and decide whether it is worth planting or not.
Planting and care
You can choose any container for sowing seedlings. Particular preference is given to plastic containers with single cups: in the future you will not have to pick young tomatoes and disturb the root system.
After sowing tomato seeds, it is necessary to water and feed the seedlings in a timely manner. When the first full leaves of a tomato appear, the container with tomatoes must be evenly turned towards the sun every 2 days, otherwise the bushes will grow one-sided.

Varietal features and characteristics
Batyanya is ready for cultivation both in open ground and in greenhouse conditions. To obtain the maximum possible yield, it is recommended to plant tomatoes in the open ground of the southern regions and in greenhouses in the middle zone.
Description of the bushes
The indeterminate nature of the variety allows for virtually unlimited growth potential. Therefore, provided there is a trellis or other support, the bush can reach a height of about 2 m. And this is not the limit. Despite its high growth, the plant does not have a powerful stem, nor is it prone to branching. The best option is a bush with 1 or 2 stems.
The root system is located rather superficially; the roots do not go deep into the soil. The leaves have the usual shape and color for tomatoes, but are large and sparsely spaced. The inflorescences are simple, there are a lot of flower clusters, but the fruits are usually set on only a few. On average there are up to 3 large fruits on each cluster.
If there is a trellis, the bush can reach a height of about 2 m
Commercial and taste qualities of fruits
The first fruits appear three months after the seedlings emerge. Fruiting may take a little longer under unfavorable climatic conditions. The weight of the fruit ranges from 200 to 300 g. The shape is heart-shaped, the tip of the base is slightly elongated. The surface ribs are weakly expressed.
The unripe fruit is pale green in color with a darker spot at the base. As the tomato ripens, it turns pink and becomes an even crimson color. The skin is thin, pleasant to the touch, with a glossy structure.
The pulp is quite juicy, not too dense, but not loose either, slightly sugary at the breaks, literally melts in the mouth. There are a lot of seeds, but they are small.
The taste of tomatoes is simply amazing - fresh tomato with a sweet aftertaste. But what prevents tomatoes from taking a leading position and receiving the highest tasting scores is the lack of a balanced combination of acid and sweetness. The fruits are highly transportable, even over long distances.

Productivity and use of tomatoes
Reviews about the harvests obtained are very diverse. On average, you can expect to receive 2–3 kg per bush. However, some gardeners claim that in greenhouse conditions you can get twice as much.
In any case, we advise you to focus on the degree of possible yield declared by the manufacturer. Since individual gardeners can use various chemicals to increase productivity.
Batyanya is classified as a salad variety. However, the fruits make excellent tomato juice, ketchup, and lecho. It is difficult to preserve a tomato as a whole, but the density of the pulp allows the parts to be processed while maintaining their shape.
Endurance
The variety was bred for the purpose of adaptation and growth in unfavorable conditions, so it tolerates temperature fluctuations and cold snaps well. High temperature is not a hindrance to culture. But excessive humidity can cause cracking of the fruit. With sufficient natural precipitation, the variety does not need additional watering, but drought will also negatively affect the quantity and quality of fruits.

Reviews about the variety
The Lezhebok f1 variety has both positive and negative reviews from summer residents who have already managed to plant this type of tomato on their own plot. Let's look at a few of them.
Maria R. “I planted the Lezhebok f1 variety on my own plot specifically for the purpose of storing fruits for a long period of time. All the bushes that were planted grew beautiful and strong, 1.5 meters tall, and this picture was simply pleasing to the eye. Each plant formed 5-6 clusters with fruits, 5-7 pieces on each. They all matured almost simultaneously.
Video on how to get a good harvest:
As for the taste, we were not satisfied with it; we would like to feel the bright sourness inherent in tomatoes. In addition, I was surprised by another fact: by mid-autumn, the seeds inside the tomatoes began to germinate, despite the fact that they were stored in a cool place. This incident crossed out all the advantages of the plant and discouraged the desire to eat the fruits.”
Alexander G. “I planted the Lezhebok f1 variety for the first time, hoping for a large number of tomatoes and their resistance to transportation. The variety has fully justified itself. All summer at the dacha they used them to prepare salads, and then they put the box in the basement, where it successfully stayed until winter. But when there’s a blizzard outside, a salad of fresh tomatoes picked on your own plot lifts your spirits like never before.”
