Tomato wonder of the world

Choosing a tomato for growing in the garden, the summer resident prefers unpretentious varieties with excellent taste, good yields and universal purpose. Not all varieties fall under such criteria. One of these is not only delicious, but also aesthetically attractive Wonder of the World tomato, which grows both in greenhouses and in open soils.

The Wonder of the World tomatoes are a vegetable crop with a long history, developed by a group of domestic breeders of the NK. LTD ", such as Vasilevsky V. A., Nalizhity V. M., Korotkov S. A., Dynnik A. V. It was entered in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation, and the culture was allowed to be used in 2001. The variety is intended for cultivation in the open field, but in practice, the tomato grows well in greenhouse conditions. Zoned tomato in all climatic zones of the country.

The Wonder of the World is a plant of an indeterminate type that grows above 200 cm. Tall bushes are characterized by medium leafiness of green foliage, strong central stems and flexible branches, a developed root system and complex inflorescences. The first cluster with fruits is formed above 11 leaves. In each fruit cluster, 25-30 fruits are formed, sometimes even more. As a rule, 5-6 fruit clusters appear on each bush.

Each tomato bush needs to be formed in 2-3 stems, in a garter to a reliable support and partial removal of stepsons. Some experienced gardeners also thin out the foliage in the lower part of the bushes, which prevents the accumulation of excess moisture.

The purpose of the Wonder of the World tomato is universal. It is eaten fresh, added to various dishes, pickled, processed into pastas and dressings, and canned whole.

The vegetable represents a class of medium-fruited tomatoes. The average fruit weight is 80 grams. In a state of absolute ripeness, the tomato is evenly covered with a rich yellow color. At the stage of technical maturity, the vegetable has a light green color with a dark speck at the stalk. The shape of vegetables is unusual - obovate with a "nose". Outwardly, tomatoes resemble lemons.

The surface of the tomato is shiny with a slight ribbing. The skin of the vegetable is quite dense, but not at all tough. Tomatoes are characterized by resistance to cracking and long shelf life. They tolerate transportation well, without losing taste and marketability.

Tomatoes taste great. The pulp is fleshy, moderately firm and juicy. The taste is dominated by pronounced sweetness, which is sometimes complemented by a slight sourness. Taste may vary slightly due to climatic conditions. The aroma of the fruits is dessert, not very bright. On the cut of the pulp, there is a slight sugar content. Tomato has practically no seeds. The advantage of the variety is its unique composition, which contains 5% sugars and beta-carotene.

Wonder of the World tomatoes are late-ripening nightshades. From the moment the mass germination of seedlings occurs, 120 days pass to ripe tomatoes on the brushes. The fruiting period of the culture is extended.The peak of fruiting occurs at the end of July, August and can drag on until the first cool days.

The yield indicators of this tomato species are impressive. Under favorable conditions and proper agricultural technology, 1 bush can produce up to 8 kg of lemon tomatoes. On average, 5.5-6.2 kg of vegetables can be grown per 1 m2.

Vegetable culture is grown by seedling method. For this, the seeds are sown, which must first be sorted out, disinfected in a solution of potassium permanganate and treated with a growth stimulator. Sowing is carried out in late March - early April. Fast germination and healthy growth of bushes is observed under special conditions - room temperature 20-25 degrees and lighting for 12-14 hours. After the mass germination of seedlings (for 5-7 days), the temperature indicators slightly decrease.

At the stage of appearance of 2-3 leaves, plants can be planted in individual pots, which helps to strengthen the root system of the seedlings. In the process of growing bushes, do not forget about watering and feeding. 10-14 days before transplanting to a new place, tomatoes begin to harden, exposing them to fresh air every day. This will help the tomatoes quickly adapt to new growing conditions.

You can transplant tomatoes at the age of 2 months. At this stage, the bush should have 6-7 leaves and 1 flower cluster. In the greenhouse, disembarkation occurs a little earlier, and in the garden in late May - early June.

It is necessary to plant seedlings correctly so that the plants are comfortable, there is enough light and air. 3 bushes can be placed on 1 m2, no more. With such a planting, the rhizomes of the bushes will not interfere with each other. The 50x70 cm scheme is considered to be optimal for planting.

This type of tomato is not very whimsical, however, the maximum return is observed with proper care and favorable growing conditions. The soil should be free of grass and weeds, neutral acidity and breathable. Loose and fertile soil is considered optimal. It is strictly forbidden to plant tomatoes in an area where eggplants, peppers and potatoes were their predecessors.

Tomatoes, in addition to the correctly chosen area, need regular care - moderate watering with settled water, the introduction of mineral fertilizers containing potassium and phosphorus, loosening and weeding of the soil, forming and tying bushes, removing stepchildren and thinning foliage (if necessary), protection from harmful insects and viruses, as well as airing if tomatoes are grown in a greenhouse.

The tomato has good immunity to many diseases and pests. He firmly tolerates phytophthora, despite the late ripening. As for the tobacco mosaic virus and brown spot, the variety is less resistant to them, therefore, preventive spraying should be present. If we talk about pests, then most often tomatoes are susceptible to attacks by a bear, whitefly, spider mite and aphids, which will help to get rid of preventive treatments.

Stress tolerance of the variety allows the culture to grow and bear fruit in different climatic conditions. tomatoes tolerate a short drought, sudden temperature jumps, and heat. Strong wind, drafts and excess moisture are negatively reflected on tomatoes, so watering must be controlled.
