“Crystal F1” is a variety originally from France. It is popular due to the classic, beautiful shape and color of tomatoes, high yield and resistance to cool weather.

Description

“Crystal F1” is an indeterminate plant with unlimited trunk growth. For greater productivity, it is recommended to form the trunk into 2 stems and tie it to a vertical support.

The variety gives a good harvest. 70 days after the seedlings emerge, the first fruits weighing 120–140 g begin to appear. Over the entire summer season, you can harvest up to 35 kg of tomatoes per 1 m2. With drip irrigation and growing in a greenhouse, this figure can be even higher.

"Crystal" is universal in use. Sweet and slightly sour tomatoes are suitable for home preparation and fresh consumption. For juices, pastes and purees. They keep for a long time. They tolerate transportation well thanks to thick, up to 8 mm, walls.

Fruit

These tomatoes are very beautiful - smooth, without ribbing, round. Rich red color both inside and outside. When ripe, a green spot does not appear on the stalk. The pulp is juicy and elastic, without white veins and fibers. High in sugars. Each tomato has three small seed chambers.

The average weight of the fruit is 140 g. Under good conditions it reaches 160 g. Diameter is 30–35 mm. The tomatoes ripen together, in clusters. Each produces 8–10 tomatoes. The variety is not susceptible to cracking in garden beds and during transportation.

Advantages

excellent yield even in regions with cool summers;

immunity to many diseases - fusarium, tobacco mosaic, verticillium;

growing in greenhouses and garden beds;

possibility of harvesting with brushes;

excellent product characteristics.

Some difficulties may be caused by the need for pinching, shaping and tying up bushes.

Growing

"Crystal F1" is usually grown by seedlings. The timing of planting seeds depends on the region and climate type. In areas where frosts are possible in mid-May, seedlings begin to be grown around mid-April.

This variety requires light soil with a low or neutral pH. The seeds are planted at a depth of 1–1.5 cm. Cover and wait for the sprouts to appear. As soon as this happens, remove the film and move the future tomatoes into a cool place. The optimal temperature is –15–18˚С. After a week, it is increased by 5–7 degrees.

Barnaul canned tomato variety

The period of plant growth and development is 90-95 days. The bush is semi-standard, low-growing, 30-40 cm tall, with 5-6 fruiting shoots, does not require pinching, the leaf is entire, slightly dissected, small. The fruits are elongated oval, ovoid, smooth, 1-2 chambered, with a dense, almost non-cracking skin, weighing 30-40 g. Sugar content 1.86%, vitamin C - 20.3, carotene 4.4 mg/100 g .

The yield is 1.0-1.5 kg. from one bush.

On the vine it ripens up to 84-95 percent. The Barnaul canning variety is excellent for canning and pickling and is highly cold-resistant. Fruit clusters can form at low temperatures (10-12°C), while in most other tomato varieties the growth and development processes slow down or stop altogether.

Varietal characteristics

Having studied the characteristics of the Ozaltin tomato variety, it can be noted that the advantage of growing this variety of crop will be an excellent level of productivity. The fruits of the tomato plant have an amazing taste and excellent keeping quality. The growing season is relatively short. The first ripe tomatoes can be harvested on the 130th day. Sometimes it may take an additional 10 days for full ripening. Much depends on weather conditions and the amount of fertilizing applied by the farmer.

At the moment of biological maturity, you can see how the fruits turn a deep red color, which looks attractive due to the “glossy” surface of the skin. The pulp is dense, the tomato is meaty, which means it can be used to make surprisingly tasty sauces and ketchups.

The variety grows as a compact bush that is not spreading. However, it is a tall variety. Outwardly, it looks neater compared to its tall “relatives”. The bushes develop rich green foliage. Under ideal growth conditions it grows up to two meters.

With large plants, the gardener will have to work hard to form a garter so that the bush does not become deformed and the Ozaltina branches do not break off.

Due to the density of the fruits of the Ozaltin variety, based on reviews, we can confidently say that these tomatoes are ideal for canning.

Tomato grows unhindered in various regions of the country. But the chances of excellent fruiting increase if planted in a greenhouse shelter. Farmers who work on the land with agricultural plants in the south have good chances to reap the maximum harvest. It is in these regions that there is little risk that the tomato will be destroyed by sudden temperature changes.

The weight of the Ozaltin tomato fruit, according to the description, can be 60 g, or can reach 130 g.

Fact! You can grow large fruits from strong and healthy seedlings. Such seedlings can be obtained if you grow them yourself from your own seed.

Variety zoning

“Mongolian dwarf” is a tomato that has become widespread in Transbaikalia and Siberia. Although it is not listed in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation, this does not prevent numerous fans from growing the variety and offering its seeds for sale.

The Mongolian dwarf tomato variety is just suitable for growing in risky farming zones. The description of the conditions of the “garden” period for most of Russia can be described as a short summer with sharp fluctuations in night and day temperatures. Heavy dew at the end of summer provokes the spread of late blight.

The new ultra-early ripening variety “Mongolian dwarf” allows you to get the main harvest before mid-August, avoiding disease.

The best areas for cultivation are southeast Russia and Siberia. Arid areas with long, mostly dry autumns are suitable.

In such areas, late blight rarely appears, which is important for a variety whose fruits mainly ripen on the ground.

Humid areas of the Non-Black Earth Region are not suitable for growing Mongolian dwarf tomato. In the southern regions, it is possible to sow seeds directly into the soil, without seedlings. On heavy soils it will not be possible to grow a decent crop.

Characteristics of tomato Swat f1 and description of growing variety

To ensure the smooth emergence of seedlings, it is important to maintain the optimal air temperature at +28...+30 °C. Compliance with the temperature regime is required to accelerate the emergence of sprouts

Otherwise, the seeds will rot or the germination period will increase.

After the first shoots appear, lower the air temperature to +15...+18 °C during the day and +10...+12 °C at night. After 7 days, the air temperature is increased to +20...+25 °C during the day and +12...+15 °C at night.

Rules for cultivating the variety

Caring for tomato plants requires compliance with the rules of agricultural technology. Tomatoes need fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. Complex preparations are applied before planting seedlings in the ground.

At the cotyledon stage, plants are planted in separate pots. At the same time, the central root is shortened, resulting in a more developed root system. When picking, you need to monitor the condition of the root and prevent it from deforming.

After the appearance of 1 flower cluster, the formed seedlings are transferred to a permanent place when the air warms up to +13…+14 °C.

Plants are planted taking into account crop rotation. The best precursors for tomatoes are cucumbers, grains and legumes.

After planting in the ground, the seedlings are tied to a support after 10 days. In order to increase the yield, 1 stem is formed from the bush, and excess shoots are removed. As the tomatoes ripen, it is recommended to tear off the lower and partially middle leaves.

To increase productivity, it is recommended to fertilize with an aqueous solution of yeast. For preventive purposes against fungal diseases, the bushes are treated 2-3 times during the season with a mixture containing copper. It is recommended to use a Bordeaux mixture consisting of slaked lime and copper sulfate.

Tomato variety Khachmas

• Be sure to mulch the soil using straw or mowed grass;
• Fertilizers are applied in a timely manner. The first time is fed at the stage of active growth of young seedlings, then 10 days after the second ovary begins to flower, the third time after the first harvest;
• Regularly ventilate the greenhouse structure, especially after watering;

This will help avoid high humidity in the room, which can cause fungal diseases.

• Loosen the soil and weed the plantings to remove weeds;
• Tall bushes must be tied to a vertical trellis as they grow, and pinching is also recommended;
• The hybrid shows high yield when growing a bush with two stems;
• As soon as the fruits appear on 3-5 ovaries, they tear off all the lower leaves on the bush, freeing the stem to the base of the second cluster.

Used fresh. Used for making juices, tomato paste and ketchup.

Features of cultivation

Winter. Ant. Harvesting seeds in open ground is not practiced; the crop will most likely die. Seed material is planted in a special container from mid-March to mid-April, providing the required temperature conditions and good lighting. When the first leaves appear, a pick is made. It is better to drown the sprouts with warm water.

After 55-60 days (approximately mid-May), the seedlings are transferred to open ground to a depth of less than 4 centimeters. At the same time, they are protected from temperature changes by covering material. Due to this, it can be removed two weeks after planting the bushes. It would be a good idea to place manure or chicken manure among the holes.

To get a decent harvest, there is no need to invest large quantities of peat and expensive fertilizers into the soil. Systematic loosening, layering and fertilizing of the soil will be sufficient.

Watering is best done after sunset or early in the morning. If you do this during the day, then only in cloudy weather. Feeding the soil is carried out twice during the growth of the plant. The main time this is done is when the ovary appears (nitrogen and potassium fields are used)). The second time - when tomatoes appear (phosphorus and potassium mixtures are used).

In (types of root aeration, it is necessary to loosen the soil in a timely manner. This will help in the fight against pests that attack the root system of the tomato. It is recommended to weed the beds weekly. Otherwise, crop losses may amount to 30 percent.

To combat diseases, plant leaves are treated with special substances. Chemicals can be used to kill pests. The main thing in this matter is unimportant (= unimportant) to overdo it. Adding ash flour to the soil is effective in pest control.

You can ensure good fruiting by following simple care measures:

1. Prepare the land for planting first-class.
2. Plant the sprouts at a distance of 20-30 centimeters.
3. Perform gartering and pinching (only once, forming a plant with three stems).
4. During the growth round, make sure that the bush does not come into contact with the ground. Otherwise the risk is high. Ant. impossibility of infection with late blight.
5. Feed and water in a timely manner.
6. Systematically carry out measures to protect against diseases and pests.

Having completed all these operations, the hacienda has the right to hope for an excellent result.

1. The Zoloto Vostok tomato can be grown in open soils without shelter in places with a warm climate.
2. A mature plant reaches two meters in height and forms the so-called indeterminate bush type. Therefore, agrotechnical measures include the mandatory removal of side shoots and timely pinching of growth points. Moreover, such procedures should be carried out regularly.
3. By the time of ripening, tomato bushes form clusters, on top of which there are up to 6 massive honey-colored fruits. The authority of other specimens reaches 0.4 kg.
4. The hybrid Gold of the East is famous for its amazing sweetish taste and juicy pulp.
5. This variety can withstand relatively long shelf life, even if it is mainly used for preparing salads and canning.

Useful notice!

It is recommended to remove the tomatoes from the “gold” series together with the stalk, and after some time they ripen at room temperature for about a week. After this time, the fruits have time to acquire the characteristic taste of this variety.

Advantages of a hybrid

When creating the variety, breeders tried to combine the best qualities of famous tomatoes in their brainchild. Therefore, triticale “Gold of the East” has a number of advantages:

1. It can be safely cultivated in various conditions: greenhouses, open ground.
2. The short growing season allows the fruits to ripen completely.

Agricultural technology instructions

Before sowing seeds, which is usually done in the middle of Marfa, care must be taken to prepare containers appropriate for these purposes. Experts recommend using special containers with a drainage hole, which will prevent seedlings from becoming sick. Containers for seedlings are filled with a mixture of peat and sand, and before sowing, the prepared soil should be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate. Superelite is laid to a depth of 1 cm, and the planting site is sprayed with warm water. You can use a regular sprayer for this.

To provide favorable conditions for the sprouts, sowing should be done at a distance of 4 cm. After sowing, the container should be covered with film and placed in a lighted place where there is good circulation of air masses. Until the first shoots appear, it is necessary to maintain the temperature at +23 C. When the sprouts “hatch”, it is not forbidden to remove the film.

Care instructions

1. Regular watering.
2. There, the formation of 2 true leaves requires diving of the seedlings.
3. In the second half of May, the strong sprouts are planted in a greenhouse. They should be planted in open soils after the frosts have stopped.
4. Planting frequency – 4 plants per square meter of planting area.
5. Tomatoes need to be tied to a reliable support.
6. From time to time the bushes will form; you need to pinch them. Side shoots should be removed regularly.
7. The feeding and watering periods for this variety are unmistakably the same as for other tomatoes.
