A recent discovery by breeders - tomato Lord: description of the variety, tips for growing

With the Lord tomato, everything is very simple - simple cultivation, large yields, classic sizes and creamy shape. The variety is intended primarily for cultivation in the West Siberian region. But it is successfully cultivated in any other areas.

Main characteristics

The hybrid is characterized by balance.
It is distinguished by the high growth of bushes and an increased ability to form the ovaries of future fruits even under not very favorable weather conditions. You can expect optimal yield when forming bushes with 1 stem. The remaining side shoots are subject to careful pinching. As for the fruits, they have a flat-round shape with slight ribbing, a rich red color at the stage of full biological maturity and an average weight of about 180 - 250 g. The density of the peel reliably prevents possible cracking of the fruit both during ripening and after heat treatment.

The fruits have good shelf life and can easily withstand long-term transportation, which makes them possible to grow for further sale. The use of fruits is quite universal, since they are suitable both fresh and for further processing.

The best varieties of tomatoes for open ground from collectors

There are a great many varieties of tomatoes in nature. What we see in markets and in vegetable departments of stores is only a small part of the entire variety of varieties. Therefore, when you set out to grow this crop yourself, you will be faced with the problem of choosing varieties and species, and the main selection criteria will be taste, aroma, transportation, the possibility of canning, quality and ease of care.

It will not be easy to choose one variety, because some crops grow an average harvest, available in stores and markets, but with better taste and quality characteristics. Other tomato crops are designed for greenhouse conditions.

Tomato plants are divided into 3 main types: indeterminate (tall), determinate (short) and dwarf (for hanging baskets). Each species has its own characteristics and requirements for planting, care, growth conditions and ovary formation.

Indeterminate species - tall plants that need support and tying. When tying the bushes, the side shoots are removed and the fruits are formed by removing the top. This will provoke intensive growth of the bush. The fruits on plants of this type ripen at different periods.

About

Characteristics of tomato

To get to know this variety better, you need to study its characteristics. Information about yield, area of ​​application, resistance to diseases and pests will help to better understand the qualities of the variety. They will be useful when planting in a summer cottage, in a vegetable garden or in a greenhouse.

Productivity and fruiting

According to reviews, the Eagle's Beak tomato is a high-yielding plant. Only for this it is necessary to carry out certain activities. This includes proper sowing, replanting, bush formation and subsequent care. You can grow a large number of unripe fruits if you do not follow the basic rules of pinching

It is important to remove excess shoots and leaves, which will give you beautiful ripe tomatoes. In season from 1st quarter

m harvest up to 14 kg, if the region has a cool summer, then up to 10 kg. In greenhouse conditions, the harvest is from 9–16 kg per 1 sq.m. The favorable month of ripening is August; during this period, tomatoes ripen well and are also saturated with a pleasant aroma.

Area of ​​application of fruits

Eagle beak tomatoes are large in shape when they first ripen. This size of fruit is suitable for preparing tomato ketchups, pastes, and juices. During the second harvest, the fruits are of medium size, so they are used for pickling and marinades. Each recipe brings out the juicy flavor of the pulp. Tomatoes have thick skin, which is good for transportability and storage of tomatoes.

Disease and pest resistance

Preventive measures will help the plant cope with diseases and pests. The tomato variety Eagle's Beak is resistant to fusarium, late blight, and tobacco mosaic. Timely weeding and spraying with solutions help against insect pests. If the plant is grown in a greenhouse, it is necessary to ventilate the room more often.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

It may initially seem that the Eagle Beak tomato variety is finicky in care, but behind this there is a result that has the following advantages:

• large fruits with juicy taste;
• high productivity;
• disease resistance;
• long shelf life.

Among the disadvantages, gardeners note that the plant requires special attention during the growing season. In greenhouse conditions, tomatoes may not ripen, which reduces their taste.

Kobeya in garden compositions

Flower growers love to grow the branched beauty because of its lush, cheerful appearance. In addition, the vine grows on any surface it can reach.

Ideas for using vines in your garden:

• If a flower is grown close to a fence, then you will soon notice how the plant has occupied the entire canopy area, reliably hiding the area and the house from prying eyes. Moreover, huge purple bells look very impressive at the height of the fence. With the help of actively growing kobeya, you can easily hide the dull, unsightly walls of old buildings.
• If you plant the plant on the south side of the house or near the gazebo, it will tightly wrap around the existing supports and columns, blocking the house from the outside world with its lush greenery.
• A liana, which cannot stand still and is constantly growing, is perfect for development with a living arch. This decor will become a real decoration for any garden or cottage.
• To landscape a recreation area in a summer cottage, the vine is planted in a stable, deep container with powerful supports. Containers with plants are installed around the perimeter of the garden.
• Kobeya goes well with petunias, lobelia and verbena, creating a bright ensemble even in a gloomy summer cottage.
• With the help of long and pliable branches of the vine, you can advantageously zone the area.

Many gardeners consider kobeya to be a rather capricious garden flower. However, people who decide to grow such a flower crop and create comfortable conditions for its development, as a result, receive a lush, magnificent plant, which becomes the pride of its owner and a real decoration of the flower garden, personal plot or balcony.

Description and characteristics

Taking into account the description, the Vorlon variety was bred by American breeding professionals. This is a mid-season tomato that needs only 90 days to form fruits from the moment young shoots peck. For final ripening, tomatoes reaching the stage of biological maturity may take an additional 20 to 25 days.

Additional features of the Vorlon plant include:

• interderminant bushes (the plant continues to grow until death caused by cold weather);
• medium-sized tomatoes reach one and a half meters in height. In greenhouse conditions, growth rates of 2 meters are sometimes observed;
• good and stable fruiting in conditions of pinching and gartering. The ideal solution would be to grow a variety of crops in a pair of stems.

Finding high-quality Vorlon material in Russia is not so easy, but there is a chance. The bushes are distinguished by the formation of medium-sized, rough leaves, whose color becomes rich green over time. The plant is spreading with well-developed lateral branches. The Vorlon tomato fruits are characterized by:

• flat-round shape;
• an interesting shade during maturity. Color varies from burgundy to dark, almost black near the base;
• the brushes are actively formed, each will tie a different number of tomatoes, from 5 to 7 pieces;
• the weight of one fruit can reach 600 grams. But the average sizes remain within 250-350 grams.

Judging by Vorlon’s description, you can count on an excellent harvest if you use good supports to which powerful bushes are tied. Separate supports are sometimes needed for brushes with large tomatoes. The stems and stalks, although strong, can become deformed, damaged under the weight of the fruit, reduce fruiting, and expose the crop as a whole to the development of a host of unpleasant diseases.

The tomato pulp is hidden under a dense peel, shiny and perfectly smooth to the touch. This variety is capable of giving farmers meaty, juicy, sugary tomatoes with a delicate aroma. In terms of taste, we can safely call this variety of culture unusual.

Vorlon has become famous for its versatility in table use. The perfect balance in taste allows the best chefs to use these tomatoes in a variety of dishes. Such tomatoes are not only good for processing, they become ideal vegetables for fresh consumption. They are used commercially by large farmers who are willing to invest heavily in growing Vorlon.

Description of the Tarpan tomato variety and its characteristics

Tarpan F1 is a pink-fruited salad hybrid from Holland. Included in the State Register in 2008 for cultivation in open ground in the North Caucasus region, but some sources also report successful cultivation of the variety in film greenhouses. Information has been found on the cultivation of Tarpan in the Far East, where a local seed supplier (trademark “Amur Summer Resident”) calls this tomato the best of the pink-fruited salad varieties for the Amur region. The process of tomato ripening is unfriendly - the first tomatoes are harvested 97-104 days after full germination, and the rest can gradually ripen until September. Sometimes you even have to pick tomatoes unripe - they subsequently ripen well in room conditions. The hybrid has good productivity at the level of the Volgograd 5/95 standard - in the range of 266-607 c/ha with a marketable fruit yield of 84-97%. Up to 12 kg/m2 is collected under film cover. The variety is immune to fusarium and verticellosis.

Tomatoes of the Tarpan F1 variety are also grown in the Amur region

Appearance

The plant is of a determinate growth type, compact, with medium foliage. The stems are powerful and stable. Few stepsons are formed; there is no need to remove them. The leaves are medium-sized, light green, the inflorescence is simple, without articulation. Each of them bears 4-6 fruits. The height of the bushes does not exceed 70 cm, which allows the beds to be placed in tunnel shelters made of arcs and spunbond.

Indeterminate plants have no growth restrictions and can grow until the end of the growing season.

Description of fruits

The shape of the Tarpan tomato fruit is flat-round, flattened, with slight ribbing at the stalk. The fruits are uneven, the weight range is from 67 to 110, in some cases up to 190 grams. The color of unripe tomatoes is light green; when ripe, it is pink and pink-coral with a pearlescent sheen. Tomatoes have a dense skin that is not prone to cracking. The pulp is medium density, fleshy, juicy, with a characteristic sugar content at the break. Inside, the fruit is divided into 6-7 seed chambers with a small number of seeds. The taste is excellent, sweetish.

Tomatoes have good shelf life and transportability. Despite the salad purpose of the fruits, they are used to produce juices and purees for baby food, which are very tasty and healthy.

Advantages and disadvantages, features and differences from other varieties

Judging by the descriptions, the variety turned out to be quite decent. Here is a list of its main advantages:

• early ripeness;
• productivity;
• immunity to major crop diseases;
• low, compact, powerful bush;
• does not require stepsoning;
• excellent taste of fruits, juice and puree;
• possibility of ripening;
• keeping quality;
• transportability;
• beautiful presentation of the fruit.

• limited growing area;
• impossibility of using collected seeds for propagation.

Table: comparison of Tarpan tomatoes with other pink-fruited salad varieties

In my opinion, Dutch and other imported hybrid varieties are more suitable for industrial cultivation, since they all have resistance to extreme conditions and diseases, shelf life and transportability of fruits. But, as a rule, the taste of these tomatoes is not rich and sweet, and the flesh is not juicy enough. Such “glass” tomatoes can be easily purchased at any supermarket. On our plot, we have the opportunity to grow tomatoes of excellent taste, which, most likely, will not have a long shelf life, and they don’t need it. But you can’t buy such a tomato in a store. And there are many worthy domestic varieties of this type that have been bred - there is plenty to choose from.

Description and characteristics of hybrids President

These hybrids have many similarities, but there are also some differences.

Table: comparison of tomato hybrids President and President 2

Photo gallery: tomato bushes and fruits President and President 2

Since large tomatoes are difficult to use in whole-fruit canning, if there is an excess harvest, they are useful for preparing juices, purees and various snacks. Green tomatoes are pickled.

To quickly pickle unripe tomatoes, I cut them crosswise or along the equator, filling the cut with a mixture of spices and herbs to taste. For dressing I usually take leaf celery, parsley, dill, a small pod of hot red pepper, 5-6 cloves of garlic. I cut everything finely. I place the prepared tomatoes tightly in containers, trying to ensure that the green fruits are in the lower layers and the brown fruits are higher. I add a couple of bay leaves and 3-4 peas of allspice, cover with a plate and pour in a 5% solution of coarse salt. The thick walls and pleasant gristly flesh of unripe tomatoes are simply a godsend for pickling.

Unripe large tomatoes make excellent pickles.

The advantages of President and President 2 tomatoes include:

• almost 100% seed germination;
• early ripeness;
• extended fruiting;
• large fruit size, and the President 2 tomato has larger fruits;
• excellent taste;
• resistance to some diseases: fusarium, verticillium, tomato mosaic virus, Alternaria and gray leaf spot in the President hybrid, as well as to nematode damage;
• fusarium, tomato mosaic virus in tomato President 2;

The main disadvantages of these hybrids:

• high packaging price and small number of seeds;
• the inability to obtain your own seeds with the properties characteristic of this tomato;
• the need to establish supports and tie up shoots;
• the need of plants for mandatory formation;
• sensitivity to late blight in hybrid President 2 (according to reviews from gardeners).

Description of tomato Lord and features of growing the plant

Tomato Lord is determinate, which means that the bush grows no higher than 50-60 cm. This variety is intended for planting in open ground, but it can also be grown in a greenhouse. Lord tomatoes are unpretentious, so even an inexperienced gardener can cope with planting them.

What is a Lord tomato?

Characteristics and description of the variety:

1. The shape of the tomatoes is oval. The skin is smooth and dense.
2. The fruit color is classic red.
3. The weight of the largest fruit reaches 100 g.
4. The taste is tomato, good.
5. The fruits can be eaten fresh and also stored for the winter.
6. Lord tomatoes are a fertile variety.
7. If you care for it correctly, you can reap a good harvest.

How are tomatoes grown?

Planting should begin in the third decade of March. This is the most suitable period for sowing seeds, since the grown seedlings will be completely ready for planting in the ground by summer. The seeds can be planted dry, although many gardeners prefer to soak them first. This, in their opinion, speeds up the germination process.

To do this, the seeds are laid out on a fabric base, slightly moistened with water and covered with film. As soon as the process is activated, the grains are carefully, using tweezers, transferred to a previously prepared container with soil.

It is not recommended to water the soil; it is better to spray it with a water sprayer. With the appearance of the first shoots, the need for a large amount of light appears. If the plant does not have enough of it, then you will need to take care of additional lighting in the evening.

After the first leaves appear, the plant is placed in separate pots, in which it will remain until transplanted to a permanent place. After 2 weeks, the seedlings are fed for the first time with a complex of mineral fertilizers.

10 days before the intended planting, pots with seedlings are taken outside daily. This way the plant acclimatizes faster and gets used to new conditions more easily.

After transplanting into open ground, you need to properly care for the plant. Since the bushes are compact, up to 7 seedlings can be planted per 1 m², maintaining a distance of 40 cm.

After the first inflorescence appears, excess leaves are removed from the lower part of the main stem, slightly exposing it. It is recommended to tie up the plant. This increases air flow and prevents illness. The bushes do not need pinching.

To strengthen the root system, the soil is periodically hilled up and cleared of weeds. Mulching is also useful. Torn leaves of the plant itself or straw are used as mulch. It prevents the rapid evaporation of moisture from the soil and eliminates the need for frequent watering.

To ensure that water gets directly to the roots when watering, gardeners came up with a simple trick using a plastic bottle. After making a large number of holes, it is placed in the ground next to the bush. Water, once in a bottle, penetrates directly to the roots without affecting the plant itself.

Handle fertilizers carefully and use them infrequently. Over the entire growing season, tomatoes will need 3-4 feedings. Do not overdo it with nitrogen; a large amount of it can negatively affect the quality of the fruit and cause poisoning.

Reviews about tomato Lord are mostly positive. Gardeners note the good taste and versatility of using tomatoes. It is recommended to use organic fertilizers for fertilizing. It is recommended to plant onions or beets between the bushes, so the plant will be protected from late blight.
