Tomato De Barao royal

Tomato De Barao first appeared in Brazil. In Russia, its domestic subspecies, which are distinguished by excellent yield, have gained popularity.

In 2016, an application was submitted for inclusion in the State Register of a new tomato variety. This crop turned out to be the royal tomato De Barao. The originator was the Moscow firm "Aelita", which is the main supplier of seeds in the domestic market. The authors were the breeders Kachainik V.G., Gulkin M.N., Karmanova O.A., Matyunina S.V. In 2018, after two years of testing, the new variety was approved in the register.

The variety belongs to indeterminate crops, which means that the growth of the stem will be unlimited. On average, a bush is formed with a length of 180-200 cm. This is enough for normal fruiting. Since the plant is actively growing, it must be tied to pegs in a timely manner.

The stem is powerful, thick, well developed. The leaves are medium, long and elongated, the tip is pointed. The front plate is dark green. It has well-defined veins and a middle section. The back of the leaf is light green. Leaves can curl or burn in direct sunlight.

The first inflorescence is formed on 8-9 leaves from the ground level, the subsequent ones - every 2. On one bush, from 8-10 brushes can form. Up to 8 fruits are tied on the hand. The recommended number of stems is 1-2.

The positive aspects of culture include:

• yield;
• taste qualities;
• shelf life;
• versatility;
• resistance to a number of diseases;
• transportability;
• marketable condition;
• good tolerance to temperature changes.

Of the minuses, it can be noted:

• pinching;
• tying to a support;
• normalized regular watering and feeding.

In shape, the fruits are elongated plum-shaped or elliptical. When fully ripe, the tomato acquires a raspberry red color. On average, the weight of a vegetable is 150 g. There are also larger specimens weighing 170 g.

The rind is thin but firm enough not to crack. However, it is not felt when consumed. The skin is smooth, but some tomatoes have a slight ribbing. The pulp is juicy, fleshy, wateriness is practically absent. Inside, 2 large seed chambers are usually formed. They are completely or partially clogged with medium-sized seeds, which are not noticeable in food.

The tomato is consumed fresh. Suitable for whole-fruit canning or pickling, making sauces, juices and tomato pastes.

Tomato De Barao has a royal taste - sweet, rich, with a mild sourness.

De Barao Tsar's variety belongs to mid-season varieties with a ripening period of 110-120 days. Harvesting occurs in August-September.

The peculiarity of the variety is that the unripe removed fruits ripen well in a dark and warm room without losing their taste.

Gardeners report a good and stable harvest.It is removed from 1 m2 from 11 kg in the open field, and from 13 kg from 1 m2 in greenhouses. The yield of the variety directly depends on the care and timely feeding.

Seeds are sown in seedling boxes, pre-soaked in melt water and treated with potassium permanganate. The depth of the hole does not exceed 2 cm. After sowing, the soil is poured abundantly with warm water, everything is covered with a film and placed on the windowsill. The temperature in the room should be +22 degrees. After 5-8 days, the seeds will hatch, and the film can be removed.

The seedlings need sunlight, and if it is not enough, a UV lamp must be installed. Daylight hours for the normal formation of bushes should be at least 15 hours.

Watering is done through a spray bottle once a week. Top dressing is applied in liquid form after watering.

The dive should be done after several strong leaves appear. At this moment, it is necessary to properly monitor the seedlings so that they do not start active growth. Room temperature should be no more than +18 degrees, otherwise the stem will quickly grow.

10 days before planting in the ground, the seedlings are taken outside for acclimatization. The transplant is carried out after the daily temperature rises above +16 degrees, and weather conditions do not portend frost.

Before planting seedlings, the land is dug up and fertilized. During the day, the site is abundantly spilled with water. To form the holes should be no more than 15 cm deep. It is best to choose a distance of 70 cm between the bushes and plant them in one row, if possible. This will facilitate harvesting and open access from all sides to the bush. This will make it easier to tie the bushes to pegs or trellises.

In order for the yield to be good, some agrotechnical points should be observed.

• Immediately at the time of planting seedlings in the ground, the seedlings are deepened into the ground to the first leaf. This is necessary in order for the root system to better take root and strengthen.
• The variety should be watered on schedule, namely 2-3 times a week. Watering is needed abundant and deep, the soil should be wet 20 cm down. All water should be concentrated at the root. Leaves should not be spilled, as they can get burned.
• If the summers are dry, you can use a mulch made from sawdust, peat, dry grass or straw. The mulch will prevent excessive evaporation of moisture in the soil and will retain water.
• Grasshopping is done regularly, as the bush grows quickly.
• You can tie a stem and branches to the pegs. This will help avoid breakage.
• Top dressing is carried out several times per season. The first is carried out a week after planting seedlings in the ground. It is best to use nitrogen-containing minerals or nitroammophos. During the formation of ovaries, potassium and phosphorus are used to increase yields.

Most often, the De Barao royal variety suffers from an invasion:

• Colorado potato beetle;
• whitefly;
• top rot.
