Tomato Debut

Professional breeders from different countries of the world are engaged in the development of new varieties of tomatoes. For several decades, many varieties of fruit crops have been bred. The main goal of specialists is to improve the basic characteristics of plants, gastronomic qualities and the appearance of the crop. The debut is considered one of the most common Dutch hybrids. It can be successfully grown practically throughout Russia. In most regions, the variety is cultivated in greenhouses.

Low-growing bushes do not grow more than 0.6 meters (in open areas) or 0.75 meters (when cultivated in greenhouses). And also the temperature regime, weather conditions and adherence to agricultural technology affect the growth. Growth type is determinant. The harvest is great for making tomato paste or ketchup. And also tomatoes are recommended to be eaten fresh.

The bushes are compact but powerful. Shoots are covered with medium-sized emerald leaves. The leaf shape is standard for tomatoes. They are elongated and built-up. The surface is slightly corrugated. Maximum fruiting can be achieved in open areas in the southern regions. In the middle lane and other regions, it is best to cultivate in greenhouses or greenhouses. Intermediate inflorescences. The peduncle is articulated.

Unripe tomatoes are light green. Ripe tomatoes turn bright red. In mass, the fruits gain an average of 210 to 230 grams, some specimens grow up to 250 grams. The sizes are marked as large. The shape is standard for tomatoes, round and flattened. The surface is slightly ribbed. When cut, a fleshy and juicy pulp with medium density is noticeable.

All tomatoes are the same size. The glossy and even rind is firm enough to protect the crop from cracking. Ripe vegetables should be transported neatly in convenient containers. Keeping quality is average.

Tomatoes boast versatility. They do not crack and retain an attractive appearance. Perfect for pickling and pickling. Vegetable snacks and salads are prepared from fresh tomatoes. Some housewives add them to soups and meat dishes. The sizes of vegetables allow them to be used for whole-fruit harvesting for the winter.

The taste of this variety is excellent. Due to this characteristic, the hybrid has become widespread among gardeners.

From the day of planting of seedlings to the beginning of fruiting, it takes from 55 to 58 days. Ripening dates are early. Bushes bear fruit for a long time, allowing you to harvest wave after wave.

The Debut yield is high, and such an indicator can be achieved only with proper care of the plantation. 9.1 kilograms of vegetables are harvested from 1 m2 of the plot. Marketability of ripe vegetables is high. The bushes bear fruit remarkably, regardless of growing conditions. The quality of tomatoes is influenced by the application of fertilizing and the frequency of irrigation.

Approximately in the last decade of March, seeds of the Debut hybrid are planted for seedlings.After 55-60 days, the time comes for the transfer of young plants to a permanent growing place, be it a greenhouse, a film greenhouse or an open area. When cultivated in greenhouse conditions, transplanting work can be performed a little earlier than when laying a plantation in the open air.

For germination of seed at home, use a special soil. It is purchased in gardening stores or prepared with your own hands. The nutritious soil will help the seeds germinate faster and get stronger. To make a suitable soil mixture, you need to mix the following ingredients in equal proportions: humus, peat and turf soil. Two glasses of wood ash and half a portion of coarse sand are added there. Homemade mixture must be disinfected with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. After that, the earth is laid out in containers.

The seed is deepened into the soil by no more than one and a half centimeters, watered with settled water and covered with a thick film or glass. Due to the shelter, they create the effect of a greenhouse, and seedlings appear earlier. Containers with future seedlings are transferred to a new place with a high temperature. And also the seedlings need sunlight. With its lack, special lighting devices are used.

The pick is carried out only after the appearance of two true leaves. For picking seedlings, choose containers made of plastic or peat. When growing seedlings, it is fed twice with nitrogen fertilizers. Urea and nitrophoska are widely used. Between the introduction of nutrients, a time interval of 10-12 days must be observed.

In a little less than two weeks after planting, the plants are hardened for successful adaptation in a new place. The containers are taken out into fresh air and left for a short time. The time interval is increased every day.

The recommended planting scheme for the Debut variety is 40x60 centimeters. Experienced summer residents plant from 4 to 5 bush on one square meter of land.

To get a stable and tasty harvest from season to season, you need to choose the right place for planting. The site must be lit. The hybrid prefers a nutritious and loose soil in which the root system will receive a sufficient amount of oxygen. Planting pits are staggered. This arrangement is comfortable not only for the bushes, but also for caring for them.

When transplanting young seedlings, the earthen lump is not destroyed. A portion of the nutrient substrate is sent to each hole. After placement, the soil is carefully compacted and watered. 4-5 liters of water are consumed per plant. For irrigation, use warm and settled water. Cold liquid will negatively affect the root system and the plant as a whole.

It is recommended to water the Debut hybrid as the upper layers of the earth dry out. Irrigate at the root, without moisture getting on the stems and leaves.After moistening, the soil around the bushes should be loosened, getting rid of weeds and dry crust.

Correct fertilization is important for all vegetable crops. If, before transplanting to a new place, the seedlings have already been fed with the necessary compositions, then you can refuse to apply subsequent fertilizers. The ground is covered with a layer of straw or grass cuttings. Organic mulch not only retains moisture, but also nourishes the earth with nutrients as it decomposes.

The bushes are not tall, but need shaping. They are formed into 2 stems, which has a positive effect on productivity.

Tomatoes are resistant to the following diseases:

• gray rot;

• fusarium;

• alternaria;

• verticillosis.

In adverse weather conditions, preventive measures are required.
