Tomato De Barao pink

Among tomatoes for whole fruit canning, all De Barao varieties are ideal choices. A dense skin that does not allow the fruit to crack during heat treatment, excellent taste and aroma, unpretentiousness, cultivation in all regions of the country, as well as the possibility of fresh consumption, use in cooking, in summer and winter salads made the indeterminate De Barao pink variety very popular. Moreover, the leveled fruits are highly decorative, marketable, and transportable. If you collect a complete collection of shades (red, pink, yellow, black), then in a glass jar, multi-colored pickled fruits look amazing.

The year of registration in the State Register is 1998. The originators are considered breeders E. N. Andreeva, E. A. Artemyev, S. L. Nazina, K. B. Bogdanov, M. I. Ushakova from the Seed Breeding Company "GISOK".

Powerful medium-leafed tall bushes (up to 200 cm) covered with slightly corrugated dark green foliage. Yellow flowers form simple inflorescences, the very first is laid above 9-11 leaves, the later ones - every three leaf cuttings.

Advantages of the variety:

• shade tolerance;

• unpretentiousness and strong immunity;

• good productivity and transportability;

• long-term fruiting and attractive appearance;

• excellent keeping quality, ripening ability, variety of applications.

Cons of De Barao:

• great need for the surrounding space;

• the need for pinning;

• needs tying up.

On average, each bush lays up to 6 full-fledged brushes and on each up to 10 fruits attached to an articulated stalk. As for shade tolerance, De Barao's ability to grow and bear fruit with partial shade is beyond praise. This parameter is especially relevant for summer cottages that were laid down in Soviet times. Then they cut into 6 acres, on which it was necessary to build a house, outbuildings, to break fruit and vegetable gardens. Naturally, such areas could not boast of 100% illumination, and De Barao became a lifesaver.

Oval or plum-shaped medium-sized fruits (50-70 g) are colored milky green, there is a dark spot at the stalk. As it ripens, the fruit begins to acquire a pink hue laid down by selection. At the stage of ripeness, the ovaries turn into magnificent clusters of rich scarlet fruits. The crop is notable for good keeping quality.

The taste of the fruit is distinguished by a pronounced classic tomato flavor - moderately sweet and with a good share of acidity. Juicy has a dense skin that protects the fruit from cracking during heat treatment. The section shows two seed chambers with a small number of seeds.

The variety is characterized by extended fruiting, which allows you to slowly engage in marinades and preparing salads. You can collect brown fruits, which after a while will acquire the desired condition.De Barao is a mid-season crop, but it is difficult to indicate the exact timing of ripening, because it is grown both in the south and in the north of the country. The stated terms are 117 days, and the harvest is harvested in August-September. If the crop is cultivated in a greenhouse, ripening begins much earlier.

High-yielding variety - from one sq. meters collect from 5.4 to 6.8 kg.

From March 1 to March 15, seedlings are sown, transplanting into the ground is carried out after 2-2.5 months.

Powerful bushes do not tolerate close proximity - on one square. no more than two plants of this variety (50x60 cm) are planted per meter.

Mid-season terms require the mandatory cultivation of tomato seedlings. After sowing and then sprouting, young shoots are grown in the traditional way - the introduction of nutrients, soil disinfection, the use of stimulants, and hardening. By the time young plants are transplanted to a permanent place, they must be accustomed to outdoor temperatures, including nighttime, if the plant is to develop in open ground. When choosing a place for the ridges, you should take care of the optimal composition of the soil, taking into account:

• pH level;

• fertility;

• breathability.

With increased acidity, the soil is deoxidized with bone or dolomite flour, chalk, gypsum, lime. You can find out the acidity level and other indicators at the local agricultural laboratory or using litmus paper.

Despite the shade tolerance of the variety, you should not plant it in frankly dark places - constant low light acts depressingly on the development of plants. Bushes need strong support, so stakes are immediately installed in the pits, or a trellis is organized. In the process of growth, the bushes are constantly tied up and stepchildren. In a more successful acclimatization of seedlings, superphosphate will be a good helper. It is introduced into the hole during planting along with organic matter and wood ash, or fed to them in the next two weeks.

All subsequent care for De Barao is no different from growing tall varieties. Mandatory and regular watering in early summer is minimized during the ripening period. Weeding and loosening are just as necessary as top dressing. Loosening provides free access of oxygen to the root system, weeding does not allow the weeds to take up most of the nutrients. Top dressing gives strength and the possibility of full development and fruiting. During the period of green mass gain and flowering, tomatoes need nitrogen, while during the period of budding and fruit filling, they are in urgent need of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium. In addition, tomatoes are useful "green tea" - mullein solution, nettle infusion and other herbs.

In order to prevent diseases and the development of pests, it is necessary to carry out preventive treatments with insecticides and fungicides several times per season. In addition, it is necessary to monitor the level of humidity in greenhouses and greenhouses.

The variety is distinguished by excellent health, almost not affected by late blight and other diseases. However, like other tomatoes, it needs preventive measures to protect against pests and diseases with insecticides and fungicides.

De Barao perfectly tolerates temperature drops, short-term droughts and cold snaps, cold nights.

The unpretentiousness of the tomato ensured its distribution in all regions - the North, North-West, Central, Volgo-Vyatka, TsChO, North Caucasian, Middle Volga, Nizhnevolzhsky, Ural, West Siberian, East Siberian, Far Eastern districts.
