Important! Yellow tomatoes, which do not contain much organic acid, are recommended for young children, allergy sufferers and people with gastrointestinal diseases.

Prevention of diseases and pests

There are only three most destructive diseases that have a bad effect on the tomato harvest - fusarium, blossom end rot and late blight.

Fusarium is dangerous because it affects plants when they are still young, so prevention is carried out in the first month after planting. It is better to do this twice a month with a two-week interval.

To eliminate the causative agent of the disease, biological products such as Falcon, Trichodermin and others are used. The first spraying is carried out 3-5 days after planting the seedlings in open ground. It is better to treat the plants a second time after two weeks.

Blossom rot can seriously damage the crop. This disease occurs due to prolonged poor nutrition, which lacks useful elements, or due to a lack of calcium in the soil.

To prevent the appearance of the disease, once a month the tomatoes are fed with diluted wood ash. To prepare the fertilizer, 1 kg of ash is stirred in a bucket of water. The resulting mixture is consumed in 0.5 liters for each bush.

The most common pest is late blight. Even if preventive work is carried out at the initial stage of crop growth, it is possible that adult plants will still get sick. The fact is that late blight tolerates wintering well in the soil and is carried by the wind. Therefore, for complete safety, it is necessary to periodically spray the plants.

After planting the seedlings, chemicals are sprayed to combat late blight. When using such substances, keep in mind that tomatoes can only be eaten 20 days after prevention.

Folk remedies are also used to combat late blight - for example, garlic infusion. To prepare the tincture, you will need 400-500 g of garlic and 3 liters of water. Crush the garlic, add warm water and leave for at least 3 days. Then we filter the infusion and spray the plants with it. If preventive work is carried out correctly, then diseases will not be terrible for plants.

Late ripening

They have a distinct sweet taste and excellent aroma. Fruit shapes are varied. The growing season for late-ripening yellow varieties is about 120 days.

3. New Year. Stored until the New Year. The fruits ripen in 140 days. The fruits are medium-sized, weighing up to 150 g. 3-4 kg are harvested from one plant.

To grow a late-ripening variety of tomatoes, you need to be patient, since they take a long time to gain their rich color. Stored until winter. The first fruits can be tasted in early August.
