I. Hybrids

Hybrid tomatoes are virtually guaranteed to be resistant to diseases and bad weather conditions, which is something that non-hybrid varieties suffer from. Greenhouses and greenhouses are valued for storing heat, but in them tomatoes can suffer from too high temperatures and sudden temperature changes. In recent years, world selection has been aimed at producing “heat-resistant” hybrids with a reliable guarantee of ovary production.

Hybrids are especially helpful in a greenhouse or a small garden plot where there are no real opportunities for crop rotation and diseases are prevalent. Selection successes demonstrate confident resistance to various types of infections - viral (especially the most dangerous tobacco mosaic virus), fungal, bacterial. In addition, the hybrids have uniform fruits and consistently high yields.

Tomato Incas F1

One of the best hybrids for canning whole fruits without skin. Popular early high-yielding bush hybrid. The plant is medium-sized, compact.

Tomato from the Dutch company Numens, zoned in Russia; entered into the state register in 2000. Mid-early hybrid (105 days) of meter-high vegetables, determinate. Very high resistance to fungal diseases has been recorded. The fruits are 80-100 g, dense, bright red, pepper-shaped, fleshy, uniform, tolerate sunburn well, are very easy to ripen, transported over long distances without loss of quality.

Tomato Torquay F1

Forms abundant multiple clusters with fruits weighing 60-140 g. Dense tomatoes withstand long-term transportation, excellent in pickling and pickling matters.

Tomato Mariana F1

The tomato was created in the French branch of the Japanese company Sakata (the image of the woman Mariana is a symbol of the French Republic). The breeders of this agricultural company are often suspected of producing GMOs, but so far without real evidence. Mariana is a mid-early determinate hybrid. The fruits are similar in shape to Incas - also elongated-oval, perfectly smooth, super dense.

Tomato Bagheera F1

Hybrid from the leading French seed company Cloz. Included in the Russian seed register in 2007.

Early high-yielding hybrids are a real boon for the garden. They are cold-resistant, do not need pinching or tying up, and practically do not get sick. The ripening period is marked as medium-early; determinate bush. The fruit is round, flattened on top, ribbed, weight ranges from 80-220 g. The hybrid is resistant to soil drought and nematode, more suitable for regions located in the south. Does not suffer from fusarium and verticillium wilt.

Tomato F1 Semko 2005

The tomato is suitable for open ground and under film shelters (greenhouses). Determinate, medium-sized, compact. Resistant to soil salinity, drought, high temperatures, grows well in open ground in both southern and northern regions. Vegetables practically do not suffer from viral and fungal diseases, even late blight.

Tomato F1 Semko 2010

Included in the state register in 2010. Ultra-early ripening determinate hybrid - 85-88 days pass from the sprouting of green vegetables to the coloring of fruits. The first brush is formed immediately after the sixth leaf grows. The fruits are incredibly dense for such an early tomato, and are by no means small - 130 g. The shape is round hearts with a beautiful pointed tip.

In open ground, we usually plant thickly - 5-6 bushes per square. The best harvest from such an area is at least a bucket. The hybrid is highly resistant to bacteria, fungi and viruses. Does not crack and does not suffer from blossom end rot. Successfully withstands high temperatures and dry soil.

The newest indeterminate hybrid (on the register since 2015) - tested by us, everything is fine - created taking into account all possible greenhouse disasters. Firstly, it sets well even in the heat, as well as during temperature changes. Secondly, it is tolerant of problematic soil substrates. Thirdly, it shows high resistance to viral, fungal and bacterial infections.

The yield of vegetables varies between 20-30 kg/1 square meter. Mid-early hybrid (100 days from green shoots). The clusters begin to form after 7-9 leaves, each bears 5-6 tomatoes in the shape of rounded hearts, smooth, beautiful, attractive orange color. The weight of the “heart” is 160-190 g. The pulp contains a high percentage of dry matter, sugars, and carotenoids.

Tomato Empire F1

Indeterminate hybrid of a new generation, in the state register since 2011. Medium-early (100 days - 2 days - from germination). The plant is tall, much taller than other types of tomatoes. Therefore, the tomato requires gartering and pinching. Tomatoes are oval-shaped with a spout, weight ranges from 80 to 140 g. On average, 9 kg are obtained per bush. The color of the fruit is red-orange. The skin and pulp are dense. Can be stored for 6-7 weeks. In greenhouses people do not suffer from viral and fungal infections.

On the register since 2015. The bushes are semi-determinate, beautiful, a meter and a half high. Suitable for any soil - open or closed. Plants require pinching. Multiple clusters bear up to 30 fruits with a sweet taste and a perfect “strawberry” shape. The weight is typical for classic cherry tomatoes - 25 g. Thanks to the strong skin, the fruits can be stored for a long time. Early hybrid: ripe fruits appear 91-93 days after the sprouts emerge. The plant is resistant to Fusarium wilt.

Tomato F1 Kaspar

The bush is short, usually up to the first cluster, 60 cm. The fruits of the plants are cylindrical with a spout, the length varies around 11 cm, and the weight is 95-115 g. They are very dense, without juice. It is convenient to pickle them assorted with cucumbers of a similar size.

The average ripening period is 115 days. The hybrid is intended for open ground, or is planted under low shelters; We plant three to four vegetable bushes per square.

Tomato Aunt Valya F1

Valya f1 tomatoes are early-ripening, tall hybrids with average yield. The bushes easily and quickly reach a height of 200 cm. In the register since 2015. Productivity is within 20 kg per square meter. On average, one bush produces 7 kg of tasty and beautiful tomatoes. Tomatoes ripen simultaneously, reaching 200-250 g in weight.

The fruits have a regular round, slightly oblong shape. The scope of use of tomatoes is very wide. Salads are prepared from the first fruits. As the volume of the harvest increases, the fruits are used for winter harvesting, as well as juices, ketchups, pastes, sauces and lecho. Tomatoes retain commercial quality for a long time and tolerate transportation and long-term storage well.

Planting and care

The seedling growing method is used. Seeds are sown 60 days before planting in the ground. The timing is calculated individually, taking into account the climate of the region of residence. At phase 2 of the true leaf, tomato seedlings are plucked. Hardening of the plants is required, usually this is done 10 days before transplanting into the ground. She is taken outside, left for 20 minutes every day, this time increases. On the 10th day it should be approximately 8 hours.

It is best to form 2 stems.

2–3 plants are placed per 1 m2. It is recommended to fertilize. At least 2 times, during the period of flowering and active ripening. Weeding, loosening, and weed removal are mandatory in order to reduce the risk of exposure to the main diseases of the species. Watering in the evening with warm water.

Description of the early ripening tomato Spring of the North F1 and rules for growing by seedling method

The early-ripening hybrid tomato Spring of the North was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements back in 2011. Bred specifically for the industrial production of early vegetables, the variety has several advantages: uniform yield, calibrated fruits and compactness of the bush. Currently, hybrid seeds can also be purchased for planting in a summer cottage.

General characteristics of the plant

The description of the variety Spring of the North F1 in the State Register catalog indicates that this is a determinate plant. The growth of the main stem stops after the formation of 5-6 fruit clusters, after which the filling of the ovaries and the rapid ripening of the fruits begin. Mass harvesting takes place in July, but the first fruits begin to ripen at the end of June.

To obtain early production, it is recommended to grow tomatoes in greenhouses. But in summer cottages in central Russia and Siberia, it is possible to obtain a tomato harvest in open ground. The plant is very resistant to temporary drops in temperature, tolerates prolonged rainfall well and is practically not affected by macrosporiosis in hot and humid seasons.

Reviews from domestic gardeners indicate that the variety’s yield remains consistently high in any summer.

To improve the yield of the crop, it is recommended that after the first cluster blooms, remove side shoots that do not produce additional fruits.

At the same time, the plant directs all the nutrients to the filling and ripening of tomatoes on the main stem.

Description of the fruits of the hybrid Spring of the North

5-6 fruit clusters of complex shape are formed on the plant. Each of them bears an average of 4-5 fruits with approximately the same weight (no more than 200 g). The shape of the berries is round, the stalk is slightly ribbed.

The skin is dense and durable. Vesna Severa tomatoes are not subject to cracking, are well transported and last a long time without losing their appearance or taste.

When harvesting fruits at milky ripeness, tomatoes ripen easily in room conditions. The color of a ripe tomato is a rich pink hue, with a pearlescent tint.

Tomatoes at technical ripeness have a pale green color with a dark spot at the base.

The Spring of the North hybrid has a salad purpose. The first harvest of vegetables is harvested in early summer, when there is a shortage of them, so tomatoes are mainly consumed in the form of summer snacks and salads. The slices are suitable for sandwiches; pink slices also look elegant when sliced.

Small calibrated tomatoes are convenient for whole-fruit canning. Thanks to the elasticity of the skin and pulp, canned tomatoes hold their shape well and remain intact during heat treatment.

If desired, you can get thick tomato juice and light-colored puree from fleshy tomatoes.

These products contain little acid and are suitable for dietary purposes, are hypoallergenic, and are recommended for baby food as a source of many vitamins.

How to grow early tomatoes

Early varieties of tomatoes need to be sown as seedlings 2 months before the intended planting. To obtain a harvest at the beginning of summer, the plants need to be planted in a greenhouse. In the conditions of central Russia, this can be done in mid-May.

Tomatoes are planted in the ground when the spring wave of return frosts has passed, that is, around the beginning of June. By combining both technologies, you can have fresh vegetables on the table from mid-June to the end of July. After this, medium-ripening tomatoes begin to be harvested from the garden.

You can sow seeds in boxes 2/3 filled with soil made from equal parts of garden soil, humus and fine sand. For 5 kg of such a mixture, it is advisable to add 1 tbsp. ground chalk or eggshells. Before sowing, calcine the soil in the oven or soak it in a hot dark pink solution of potassium permanganate.

Seedlings dive in the phase of 2-3 true leaves according to a 10x10 cm pattern. Caring for seedlings consists of timely watering and additional lighting, if necessary. When the time for planting approaches, the plants are placed in 5-6 bushes per 1 m².

Disease susceptibility

Tomatoes of the “Sumochka” variety are not immune to diseases, so timely treatment with drugs against the development of viruses and fungi is required. Prevention can begin from the moment of sowing by treating the seeds used for planting.

If the disease has affected an adult plant with fruits, it is better not to use chemicals. Folk remedies will help.

Dosed watering, timely weeding and other agricultural practices are preventive measures.

Tomato Northern Beauty - description and characteristics of the variety

The Northern Venus tomato is the leader among tomatoes used for preservation. Their excellent feel and high level of productivity distinguishes the variety from many others and always brings it more popularity.

Northern Belladonna tomatoes are indeterminate, mid-season varieties. Bushes of an adult plant reach 1.5 m in height and have bright green foliage of medium size.

Agronomists note Gulliver's immunity of the plant. The Northern Beauty variety is resistant to pathogens of such diseases no worse than fusarium and TMV. In addition, this tomato variety tolerates dry periods and temperature changes well.

Breeders guarantee that this variety is capable of growing well and bearing fruit in any climatic region. The seedlings successfully grow and bear fruit both in greenhouse conditions and in open summer cottages.

The variety has a high yield. From 1 square meter (God) ordered to collect up to 4.1 kg of ripened fruits, each weighing 60-120 g.

Fruit characteristics

The berries of the Northern Beauty are elongated, with a characteristic pointed tip. Ripe tomatoes have a rich, pink color, while unripe ones have a light shade of green with darkening at the base.

From one inflorescence, 6 pieces of fruits are formed, which have 6 chambers with seeds. Their pulp has a dense structure.

Housewives use Northern Beauty buttocks for canning whole fruits, preparing juices, salads, first and second courses.

Plant etiolation

To achieve a high level of fruiting, it is necessary to observe the nuances during germination, transplantation and further care.

Growing the Northern Madonna Raphael variety begins with the germination of seed material. Agronomists recommend starting this process 55 days before the planned transplanting of young plants into the garden. Germinating Northern Beauty seeds has its own characteristics:

1. Fumigation of seeds.
   Before planting seed material in containers with soil, it is necessary to disinfect them. To do this, use a weak solution of manganese.
2. Preparing the container and soil.
   Experienced summer residents advise choosing separate, small containers. This will facilitate the subsequent process of transplanting seedlings to the garden bed. It is recommended to choose (make nutritious, loose soil.
3. Sowing.
   The seeds are placed in containers filled with soil, deepening them no more than 1 cm.
4. Greenhouse conditions.
   Experienced gardeners recommend lining the container with film to achieve a greenhouse effect. To prevent soil mold, it is inevitable to remove the film periodically.
5. Picking.
   After the appearance of 2-3 true leaves, the seedlings should dive.

The readiness of seedlings for transplantation to a permanent place of growth is indicated by the appearance of 5-6 true leaves. Experienced vegetable growers advise replanting in the evening or on cloudy days to prevent severe sunburn on the top of the leaves, which can lead to the death of the plant.

Features of care

The Northern Red tomato requires special attention to its care and compliance with certain rules:

1. Linear, moderate watering.
   It is necessary to irrigate the soil as its top layer dries.
2. Timely removal of weeds.
   Weeds can acidify the soil. In addition, they can become a source of spread of parasites.
3. Loosening the soil.
   Loose soil provides Novgorod freemen with access to air and moisture.
4. Introduction of fertilizers.
   To feed tomatoes, use mineral or organic fertilizers, which are introduced according to the instructions.
5. Treatment with biostimulants.
   To improve plant growth, it is permissible to use biogrowth stimulants.
6. Garter to support.
   Bushes of this variety reach 1.5 m in height and need to be tied to a support. The vertical location of the plant ensures its health and proper distribution of nutrients.
7. Acute harvest.
   Ripe tomatoes take a lot of energy from the plant, what's the matter? negatively affects its general condition and ability to nourish unripe pomona gifts.

Compliance with the rules of care guarantees not only good fruiting, but also high taste characteristics of the fruit.

The Northern Beauty variety is distributed throughout Russia and beyond. Its features ensured fame among experienced summer residents, and its taste characteristics conquered many people.

Harvest volume and application

If you follow all the rules and requirements when planting and caring, then from 1 bush you can get about 8 kg of tomatoes. Thus, the yield of 1 m2 will be 15–20 kg.

Excellent ovary

Included in the state register in 2005. The variety rightfully takes its place among the most productive Siberian varieties (up to 20 kg per square meter of land in a greenhouse). It sets perfectly even in the hot atmosphere of closed ground. Plants with a powerful bush with large leaves require increased nutrition and careful pinching.

The first ovary is formed after the growth of the 12th leaf, then inflorescences are formed every 3 leaves. Refers to varieties of medium ripening; in Siberian conditions, approximately half of the crop ripens; the rest of the fruits turn red quite well when ripened. Tomatoes in the lower clusters of vegetables weigh 300 g, and in those above - no less than 150 g. The shape is elongated, heart-shaped, smooth, and beautiful.

Vitamin and sweet

Record weight

The variety is a new product from a team of breeding scientists under the leadership of V.F. Gavrisha. Registered in the state register in 2015. Due to the unrealistically large fruits of vegetables, it is included in the “Russian Hero” series. The variety is not very fast in terms of ripening time (from 120 days), therefore it requires early planting of seedlings, especially careful pinching and decent feeding.

In Siberia and Central Russia it works well only in closed ground conditions, including a greenhouse. The average return from a bush is 3.6 (plus or minus) kg, the record is 7 kg. The tomatoes are flat-round, slightly ribbed, have an excellent smell and are very juicy, each weighing 400-600 g, not uncommon - 800 g. There are 2-3 tomatoes in one cluster of plants; if you leave only one tomato in it, it can pull more than 1 kg. Such “bogatyrs” are better suited for salads and distillation for juice.

Tomato variety Babushkino: description, characteristics

The Babushkino tomato variety is considered by many to be a masterpiece of domestic selection. It is distinguished by those gardeners who annually plant up to several dozen varieties to compare characteristics. The variety was developed by Russian amateurs, and this happened less than 20 years ago, so it can rightfully be called an achievement of the 21st century.

Tomatoes are not yet included in the State Register, and the sale of seeds is carried out not by large agricultural firms, but by collectors. Despite the unassuming name, the variety is considered elite due to its exceptional large fruit, dense pulp and impressive yield.

Gardeners in the Leningrad, Voronezh, Krasnoyarsk regions, and many other regions are satisfied with growing Babushkino tomatoes. The difference is that in the south it grows outdoors, while in the north it is grown in greenhouses.

Description

The fruits weigh 300-400 grams, and this is not the limit: specimens weighing 700 and even 800 grams are often found. From the lower brushes to the upper ones, the decrease in size occurs smoothly and less pronounced than in similar varieties.

The shape is round, slightly flattened, with ribs near the stalk. The skin is red, sometimes with a pink tint, glossy, the flesh is dense. The taste is rich, sweet with pleasant sourness and a real tomato aroma. According to reviews, the surface sometimes cracks, so during ripening you should carefully monitor the soil moisture, avoiding sudden changes.

Juices, sauces and purees from tomatoes are simply wonderful, and, of course, from July until autumn, fresh salads are prepared from them. The variety is mid-season, begins to bear fruit 110-120 days after germination. You can ripen the fruits in storage.

Productivity and cultivation

The yield is about 4 kilograms per plant. The plants are indeterminate, with bright green leaves of the usual type. The bushes are not standard and can reach 2 meters or more. Unpretentious, rarely damaged by pests and diseases at a high level of agricultural background.

For growing in greenhouses, seeds for seedlings are sown at the end of February, and for open ground - a little later, in March. Conveniently, this miracle variety is not a hybrid, so gardeners can harvest the seed material themselves and share it with others.

The resulting seed material is treated with a growth stimulant before planting. You can use synthetic drugs sold in stores for this, or you can take honey or aloe juice. Then the seeds are laid out in furrows in prepared, moist soil, placed in a warm place and wait for seedlings to emerge.

After this, expose the plants to light and, if necessary, add additional light so that they do not stretch. In the phase of two leaves they are picked. They are planted on the beds at about two months of age.

Seedling care

Care is standard for this type of tomato. They are planted at sufficient intervals, always near strong trellises. They are formed into several stems, from 2 to 4. During the entire growth period, the stems are tied to the supports, and when the crop is filled, each brush is strengthened. They shoot constantly, without waiting for more than five leaves to appear on the axillary shoots.

It is necessary to fertilize the plants: this hardworking variety requires a large amount of nutrients.

Babushkino is very sensitive to potassium and magnesium; it is with their deficiency that unripe yellow “hangers” appear on the fruits.

This usually happens during the hottest months of summer, so some people mistakenly associate spots with excessive exposure to the sun. The remaining manipulations, weeding, watering, preventive treatments, are known to all gardeners.

Tomato Grandma's Basket

There are several other varieties with similar names. For example, the indeterminate tomato Babushkino Lukoshko is even newer; it was bred by specialists from the Gavrish agricultural company and passed state registration in 2015. Also declared as tall and large-fruited, medium-early ripening and long-term fruiting.

Among the distinctive features, the originators promise good resistance of the variety to a lack of light and space. This expands the geography of its cultivation even further north and increases its economic value.

Tomato Grandma's gift

But the Grandma’s Gift tomato is a hybrid registered in 2010. It is also red-fruited, with tasty, large, juicy tomatoes. It ripens over a fairly long period of 115-125 days. When cultivating, it is taken into one stem and the growing point is pinched. It is drought-resistant and heat-tolerant, which is especially valuable in the southern regions.

The opinion of summer residents regarding the “Sumochka” tomatoes

Often, reading reviews from gardeners about tomatoes can provide more valuable information. Because this is where gardeners share their emotions and specific tips on growing.

• Faith. He has been growing tomatoes for 3 years in a row. I am satisfied with everything, the taste, yield and aroma of tomatoes. I especially like it fresh. Will continue to plant.
• Natalia. I formed the plant into two stems and removed the growing point. The harvest volume is excellent, the fruits are large and tasty. Will grow more.

“Handbag” tomatoes, which many summer residents plant solely because of their high yield. But, besides this, they are able to decorate any area.

Tomato Hospitable

Mid-season, super-yielding, medium-growing, determinate variety of tomatoes of Siberian selection. Recommended for growing in greenhouses and open ground. The period from germination to the beginning of ripening is 115-120 days.

The bush is spreading, its height under normal conditions is 0.8-1 meter, it does not need to be pinched, but it is advisable to tie it to a support. We got the best results when forming plants with 2 and 3 stems. That is, we left 2 stepsons - under and above the first flower brush, and broke out the rest.

Basic qualities of fruits

The fruits are flat-round, slightly ribbed towards the stalk, smooth, bright red in color at maturity, weighing 350-600 grams, fleshy, with tender, sugary pulp. These tomatoes have excellent flavor, making them ideal for fresh consumption. They are also suitable for making juices and sauces.

If you normalize the number of ovaries on a plant, you can easily grow fruits weighing up to 1 kg.

Advantages of the variety: good and stable yield, resistance to temperature changes and insufficient lighting, high taste and marketable quality of the fruit.

The variety is not susceptible to fusarium, cladosporiosis and tobacco mosaic virus.

In 2006, the Khlebosolny tomato variety was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements in the Russian Federation for cultivation in open ground on private farms.

Features of cultivation, planting and care

Sowing the seeds of this variety of tomatoes for seedlings is carried out 60-65 days before the intended planting in the ground. Picking - at the stage of 2 true leaves. When transplanting seedlings to a permanent place, 1 sq. m it is recommended to place up to 6 plants. Planting pattern: 30 x 50 cm.

Further care for tomatoes consists of timely watering, weed removal, fertilizing, pinching and preventive measures to protect the crop from diseases and pests.

The method in question has the following advantages:

• when it gets colder, the “vegetable beds” can be moved to a warm room;
• due to the rapid heating of the soil, the crop ripens one to two weeks earlier;
• easy to maintain (no need to dig or weed);
• nutrients and water go directly to the roots, so the yield is pleasing;
• the risks of fungal diseases are minimal (the tomatoes are located high off the ground and well ventilated).

Gardeners note the following disadvantages of the method:

“HANDbag” WILL NOT FIT INTO YOUR HANDBAG

The time is coming to sow tomato seeds, which means you need to purchase them, but which ones?
To avoid mistakes in growing tomato seedlings, and then get a good harvest, I interviewed the head of the agronomic department of Sortsemovoshch , Veronika Gennadievna Zverkova. – What tomatoes would you recommend to vegetable growers to grow in the new season? – For most gardeners, the most desirable harvest is an early one, because cheap tomatoes appear on sale only at the end of summer, and you want to please all your relatives with fresh, organic vegetables. Only early tomatoes, ripening before mid-July, have a chance, when grown in open ground and unheated greenhouses, to avoid encountering the most common and harmful disease of nightshades - late blight. The choice of tomato variety (hybrid) is dictated by many circumstances. On a private farm, it is better to plant several varieties: the earliest and later fruiting varieties with large sugary fruits. The range of varieties needs to be updated and constantly replenished. To get acquainted with new products and evaluate their merits in the first year, 4-5 plants of each variety or hybrid are enough. The timing of harvest mainly depends on the selected variety. The earliest ripening varieties belong to the superdeterminant variety in terms of growth type and to the “cherry” group in terms of fruit type. Among the record holders for early ripening, “Artika” stands out; its pink fruits weighing 10¬15 g ripen in 80 days. The plants are decorative, and the fruits are spectacular on the table. The early ripening tomato “Crossbow” is a very productive variety for small-sized shelters and film greenhouses. The fruits are bright red, oval with a small spout, weighing 50-60 g, fleshy, sweet. Great for canning and pickling. The “Pepper” variety is the best in its group of short tomatoes with elongated fruits. Entirely strewn with elegant, sweet, pepper-shaped fruits weighing 70-80 g.

New early maturing promising hybrid "Richie", Dutch selection, for early production. They are grown under film cover and in open ground. The plant is compact, 50-70 cm high.

For lovers of large fruits, I recommend the early ripening tomato “Sumochka”. Indeterminate productive variety for growing in protected soil. The 1st brush is laid after the 6-7th sheet. There are 3-5 fruits in a cluster, 8-12 clusters on a plant. The fruits are red, round, slightly flattened on the sides, weight 200-400 g, fleshy. When cut, they are sugary, with a small number of seeds. Salad purpose. – You can often see gardeners carrying tomato seedlings, blooming and even with small green fruits. I think they will be harvesting their first harvest in a week? - It will not happen. These seedlings have already suffered at home. Due to the lack of light, she stretched out, and when the time came, she began to plant buds. From this time on, the plant needs a lot of nutrition, and any transplantation injures the root system. Therefore, the fruits will only prevent the plant from getting sick. In such cases, you can help the plant by pinch off the ovaries. To grow seedlings, I recommend using coconut briquettes “ GROW UP ” or new items – Coco Product coconut mat and coconut disks. Sowing dates are determined simply. From the expected planting date, count back on the calendar the number of days corresponding to the recommended age of the seedlings, and add to this number 10 days for germination. In spring film greenhouses, it is recommended to plant 50-55-day-old seedlings. If the expected date for planting seedlings is May 5-10, sowing should be done on March 10-15. I do not recommend delaying sowing, since each week of delay delays the arrival of the first harvest by 4-6 days. (Read more in the next issue)
