Tomato Vityaz: characteristics and description of a mid-season variety with photos

Description of culture

The Vityaz f1 hybrid was the result of the development of Alexey Alekseevich Mashtakov . The Russian breeder carries out his work in the Rostov region, so his crops are excellent for our climate.

A hybrid crop with a similar name, tomato Russian Vityaz f1, was bred by agro breeders. This is a mid-season hybrid; the fruits ripen 110–118 days after germination. The plant type is indeterminate, the inflorescences are simple.

The culture is characterized by strong immunity to diseases. Productivity is high. Ripe pink fruits with excellent taste and an average weight of 250 g. The hybrid is recommended for cultivation under film covers in any region .

Distinctive features of the Vityaz tomato

Determinate type, up to 75 cm high . The foliage and branching are medium, the leaves are dark green. The inflorescences are simple, the first is formed above the 7-8 leaf, the subsequent ones - after 1-2 leaves. Each cluster lays 5-6 fruits; the ovaries are formed in any weather conditions.

The tomato is mid-season ; 110–130 days pass from sowing to full ripening. It takes root both in open ground and in greenhouse conditions. Plants tolerate drought and hot climates well.

The crop is characterized by a high yield: from 1 sq. m harvest 6–10 kg of fruits .

The hybrid is resistant to diseases such as tobacco mosaic virus and Alternaria, but is susceptible to late blight. For this reason, prevention is recommended.

Plants require mandatory staking and pinching.

Landing error

Bushes that do not stretch uncontrollably upward, but are capable of timely self-restraint, are very convenient to grow. At the same time, its respectable height determines excellent productivity indicators. Its versatility is also attractive: it can be planted anywhere. True, in open ground you will need supports, but not very high ones.

Semi-determinate varieties, as a rule, are not too late, usually mid-early or mid-ripening. But you still need to step them up. In the open air, some varieties may require topping towards the end of the season (on average - early August). The standard height is from one to 1.5 (and a little higher) meters (this is observed in a greenhouse).

Tomato Eagle beak

Large, fast, productive

A wonderful variety in all respects. Created by the work of a team of famous Siberian breeders (V.N. Dederko, T.N. Postnikova, A.A. Yabrov). The variety has a state patent and has been listed in the register since 2005. Medium early in terms of ripening. The plant develops at a rapid pace: seedlings produce real leaves early and quickly grow ovaries.

Tomato Southern tan

The sweetest

The patented original variety of Dederko and Postnikova has been registered in the state register since 2007. Similar to the Golden Koenigsberg (of the same authors), which does not have a patent and is not included in the register. The powerful bush of the plant requires obligatory pinching. The harvest is high, 7.7 kg per bush was collected. Tomatoes are oval with a spout, smooth, weighing 150-170 g;

Sugary raspberry

Tomato Puzata Khata

Unique shape

An original new variety from agro, on the state register since 2013. For lovers of unusual tomatoes. The variety is early (105 days is not uncommon), with extended yield and a total yield of 9.6 kg per 1 square. Tomatoes have an interesting pear shape with pronounced ribs. Fruit weight 185-270 g. Purpose: salad.

The Puzata Khata tomato variety is easy to care for; large, sugary fruits have excellent taste and good keeping quality.

No acid

The variety was registered in the state register in 2015 under the name Frog Princess. The bushes are powerful, the leaves are medium sized. The ripening period is mid-early or mid-ripening (112-123 days). Fruit weight 235-280 g. They are flat-round, slightly ribbed, light green with the lower part turning yellow when ripe.

When fully ripe, the vegetables are golden-greenish, with a slight bronze tint. The pulp is juicy, dietary taste with low acidity. The yield from 1 plant in open ground reaches 5.6 kg per square; in a greenhouse - a maximum of one and a half times higher. The purpose is salad. The green color of ripe tomatoes is due to the fact that tomatoes have a high chlorophyll content.

As a rule, cheap transparent plant houses are not equipped with windows, exhaust hood, or heating.

In such a “steam chamber”, where air humidity sometimes reaches 100%, and temperature fluctuations depend on its fluctuations outside, increased condensation flowing down the walls and dripping onto the exhausted bushes does not at all contribute to the development of the “best” tomatoes in the greenhouse, but it actively promotes development of “excellent” late blight.

Exceeding the temperature regime is detrimental not only to plants, but also to their pollen. “Overcooked” or wet pollen becomes sterile.

Trying to get a harvest of nightshades of unprecedented size, new owners of greenhouses plant all available spaces as densely as possible with all types of nightshades in a row. This cannot be done!

How to grow seedlings

Seeds are sown for seedlings 2 months before planting. Before sowing, standard preparation is carried out.

Seed preparation

Seed material is determined for emptiness by immersion in a saline solution . Those grains that float to the surface after 10 minutes are unsuitable for planting. Then the seeds are disinfected in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 25 minutes. Then rinse with running water and dry.

Important! A highly concentrated solution of manganese can destroy all seed material.

To improve germination, grains are germinated on damp gauze for three days until sprouts appear. The gauze moistened with warm water is left in a dark, warm place at a temperature of 27 ° C. As it dries out, it is re-moistened.

Container and soil

The container for planting is prepared in advance by making small holes at the bottom for drainage, where excess moisture will drain. In addition, drainage holes improve breathability.

Planted in a common container or separate containers , for example, paper honeycombs, peat pots, plastic cups. Before sowing, containers must be treated with a dark solution of manganese. Disinfection is especially important if these containers have been used for previous plantings.

Reference. When sowing seeds in peat pots, picking seedlings is not required. In addition, plants receive additional nutrition due to the content of nutrients in the walls of the containers.

The soil is prepared from garden soil, peat and humus in equal quantities . Washed river sand is added as a leavening agent. The prepared mixture is poured with a hot solution of potassium permanganate to destroy pathogenic spores. The cooled soil is laid out in planting containers, filling them two-thirds.

Sowing

Seeds are sown in furrows 2 cm deep and at a distance of 3-4 cm from each other . Sprinkle soil on top and lightly compact. After watering with warm, settled water, cover with film and leave in a warm room at a temperature of 24-25 ° C.

Reference. When covering the containers with film, a greenhouse effect is created, due to which the seeds germinate faster.

Seedling care

When the first shoots appear, the film is immediately removed , otherwise the sprouts will wither from the heat. The containers are placed on the windowsill to receive the required amount of light. Daylight hours are at least 13 hours. If there is not enough light, additional lighting should be provided.

Reference. With a lack of light, seedlings stretch out and weaken.

Water as the top soil layer dries out with warm, settled water using a regular tablespoon. At the initial stage of development, it is important not to flood the sprouts, otherwise the increased level of humidity will negatively affect the root system. In addition, the risk of fungal infections increases. After watering, the soil is loosened, ensuring breathability of the soil.

When two true leaves appear, the seedlings dive , planting them in separate containers. Before picking, the soil is well moistened so that the young bushes can be transplanted along with the earthen clod. Otherwise, the seedlings will experience the picking painfully. If the seedlings are left in a common box, the distance between them is increased to 15 cm.

When propagated in a common wooden box, 10 days after picking, the seedlings are fed with liquid fertilizer for tomatoes. The same is done in separate containers if growth is poor.

2-3 weeks before transplanting, seedlings begin to harden for faster establishment in open ground. To do this, the containers are taken out into the open air, first for 1 hour, and then the time interval is gradually increased to 10 hours.

Yablonka Russia

Tomatoes with such a reverent name could not help but get into the top - they ripen early - from the time the first shoots appear until the moment when the bushes are completely strewn with small round fruits (weighing about 100 g) and really similar to bulk apples, it takes from 118 to 135 days.

Many consider this tomato to be problem-free - it is determinate, standard bushes grow low - up to 100 cm; there is no need to shape them and pin them; They are not capricious and feel great and set fruit both in the greenhouse and in the open ground. One bush can simultaneously ripen up to 100 neat tomatoes suitable for canning - the skin will not burst, there is no need to worry. Not a tomato, but just a sight for sore eyes!

How to grow tomatoes

By the time of transplantation, the seedlings should have 5–7 true leaves and formed young roots.

Landing

The soil is prepared two weeks before transplanting . They dig it up and add a complex of minerals. Do not forget that the hybrid is susceptible to late blight, so tomato beds are spilled with copper sulfate.

Planting pattern : 40 cm - distance between seedlings, 60 cm - row spacing. For 1 sq. m place 4-5 plants in a checkerboard pattern. With this method of planting, each bush receives a sufficient amount of light and ventilation. This is especially important for those species that are susceptible to fungal diseases.

Further care

As they take root in the beds, the seedlings begin to be regularly watered and fertilized . Water moderately, not exceeding the humidity, but not leaving the soil dry. To ensure that the soil retains moisture longer, the beds are mulched with straw or sawdust. After watering, the soil is loosened for better oxygen access.

Another important factor when caring for a hybrid is removing weeds . Weeds pull a lot of nutrients from the ground that are necessary for the development of seedlings. In addition, many pests that are dangerous to tomatoes live and reproduce in them.

Fertilizing helps seedlings receive additional nutrition for full development. They are applied at least three times per season: during flowering, during the formation of ovaries and at the time of fruiting.

Fertilize with a complex of minerals or organic matter . During flowering, fertilizing with a predominant content of phosphorus is used and boric acid is added, and during fruiting - potassium substances. From organic matter, add mullein infusion or bird droppings in a ratio of 1:15.

Attention! A highly concentrated solution of organic compounds can cause root burns.

Features of care and possible difficulties

Despite their short stature, the plants must be tied to a support . When transplanting, wooden stakes or metal rods are installed next to the seedlings, to which the stem and fruitful branches are fixed as they grow. The crop is characterized by an increased rate of fruiting, so neither the stem nor the branches can withstand the weight of ripe fruits.

Form a bush with 2 stems . With this technique, you can achieve maximum efficiency, which is especially important when breeding on an industrial scale. Plants are pruned regularly due to the large number of side shoots. If they are not removed, this will lead to thickening of the plantings.

Formation of tomatoes into 1 - 2 - 3 stems + pinching

Diseases and pests

Vulnerability to late blight necessitates regular preventive measures . It should be remembered that planting a hybrid next to crops of the nightshade family (eggplant, peppers, potatoes) increases the risk of fungal diseases.

Regular preventative measures include:

moderate watering with control of the humidity level in the beds;
regular loosening;
hilling and mulching beds;
treating the soil with copper sulfate before planting;
spraying plants with manganese solution.

If a tomato is planted next to crops from the nightshade family , all plants are sprayed. When affected by a fungus, it is treated with fungicidal agents - “Fitosporin” or “HOM”.

Among the pests that are dangerous for the hybrid are aphids, Colorado potato beetles and mole crickets . The mole cricket moves underground and is difficult to notice. Therefore, measures are taken in advance by burying crushed cloves of garlic or fish heads in the beds. They repel pests with their unpleasant smell.

The Colorado potato beetle is collected by hand , carefully inspecting each seedling from all sides. When there is a large concentration of the pest, the drug “Prestige” or “Commander” is used.

To prevent aphids from attacking plants , each stem is treated with a soap solution, which is prepared from one piece of laundry soap dissolved in a bucket of warm water.

Features of cultivation and care

Like any other varieties, the Vityaz variety is grown by seedlings. Pre-disinfected seeds treated with germination stimulants are grown in seedling boxes and then planted into individual cells.

Two-month-old seedlings are planted in a permanent place, maintaining 50 cm between plants in a row and 40 cm between rows. In small areas, when the soil warms up, it is useful to use mulch to retain moisture.

Timely watering, fertilization, and preventive treatments against pests will increase the quantity of harvested fruits and their quality.

Nuances when breeding in open ground and greenhouses

Greenhouse plants can grow larger than their stated height, reaching up to 90 cm . To limit the height of the tops, pinch off, otherwise a lot of nutrients will be spent on the formation of unnecessary shoots.

Before planting tomatoes, the walls of protected structures are treated with Bordeaux mixture , destroying pathogenic flora. The annual replacement of the top layer of soil in the greenhouse is also important. Numerous fungal spores and pests overwinter on the soil surface, which in the spring can cause great harm to plantings. If it is not possible to replace the top soil layer, the soil should be thoroughly watered with a hot solution of manganese and copper sulfate.

Regular ventilation of the greenhouse reduces air humidity and temperature . Overestimation of these indicators contributes to the successful development of bacterial spores. Regular supply of fresh air reduces the risk of disease. In addition, fresh air destroys the usual habitat of greenhouse pests.

In the greenhouse and in open beds, the lower leaves up to the first fruitful branch are removed so that they do not come into contact with wet beds. When they rot, they will become a source of disease.

Abakan pink

On the 9th line - a variety of medium-late ripening (110-120 days from germination), determinate type (height - 70-80 cm). In a greenhouse it can grow up to 140-150 cm. The bush needs to be formed into 1-2 stems and tied up. It will ripen pink, heart-shaped fruits (weighing up to 300 g) with tasty, dense pulp. If cared for correctly, you can harvest tomatoes weighing up to 800g, rivaling in size the popular Ox's Heart.

There are many positive reviews about growing this tomato; no one criticizes it. It can be grown in Siberia, and to protect the bushes from returning spring or late autumn frosts, a light film cover will be enough. This representative of the nightshade family rarely gets sick; you will only have to ward off Colorado potato beetles from immature seedlings. In a word, it won’t cause you much trouble, and will delight you with tomatoes – both in salads in the summer and in preparations for the winter.

“I recommend Abakan pink. Unpretentious and very tasty." Lydia Domnikova-Kazakova.

Harvesting and application

Thanks to the friendly ripening, the crop is harvested simultaneously and in large quantities . This is very convenient for selling on markets and preparing numerous winter preparations. Large quantities are also processed into tomato products (juices, pastes, ketchups and sauces).

Larger tomatoes are used for fresh consumption , and smaller tomatoes are canned whole - they look great due to their ideal shape. The high percentage of dry matter and sugar gives the freshly squeezed juice an original taste, which is suitable for dietary nutrition.

Interesting. Because of its perfectly round shape and bright color, the tomato is used in advertising.

Ripe vegetables are stored for a long time and can withstand transportation over any distance.

Early (early ripening) and mid-early

We safely include in this category varieties whose ripening periods range from 70 to 120 days.

Description and characteristics of the Vityaz tomato variety, yield and cultivation

Many beginners believe that the yield of the Vityaz tomato is affected by the pinching of the bush. And this is not surprising, because many hybrids without this agricultural technique reduce the quality of the fruit. The fact is that a large number of shoots take away nutrients from plants, which are a source of strength and building material for his body. But still, the low-growing hybrid Vityaz f1 has been valued for a long time for its high yield among fruit and vegetable growers, without special care, including pinching shoots.

Farmer reviews

Feedback from farmers fully confirms the stated characteristics of the hybrid.

Sowing in greenhouses and open ground

You can grow tomatoes not only with seedlings, but also by sowing seeds directly into open ground. In this case, you need to follow some rules and care features in order to get healthy plants and a large harvest.

Growing conditions

As soon as the soil warms up well, you can start planting the seeds.

It is very important that the threat of frost passes completely. The ideal option in this case is a greenhouse or greenhouse, which allows you to protect the seedlings from pests and sudden temperature changes

You need to adhere to the following tips:

first dig up the soil on the site;
remove weeds and add organic matter;
prepare the seeds;
in the greenhouse, maintain a constant temperature within +20...+25 degrees Celsius;
Ventilate the greenhouse regularly.

The process of planting seeds in the ground

Plant in April, as by this time a stable warm temperature should have established and the soil should have warmed up sufficiently. Planting seeds directly in open ground is carried out according to the following scheme:

Place the prepared seed material in the holes to a depth of about 3 cm;
first place fertilizers or ash in the holes;
10-12 days after planting, perform the first fertilizing and watering;
when the sprouts have 2-3 full leaves, row the crops - leave a distance of about 10-12 cm between plants;
After the plants have 5 full leaves, thread them again, leaving a distance of about 14-16 cm between the bushes.

Watering

Until flowering, water the bushes with warm water every 3-4 days. Follow these tips:

water directly at the root, in the morning;
take into account the proportions - 10 liters of water per 1 sq. m area;
with the beginning of fruiting, increase watering, since by this time the root system is fully formed and the plant directs all its forces to the formation of fruits;
in case of prolonged drought, increase watering; in case of heavy rainfall, reduce it to a minimum or stop altogether, since excess moisture can cause irreparable harm to plants.
