Tomato Flashen

A variety called Fleaschen was bred by professional breeders from Germany. Corianne F1 hybrid was used as a basis. A distinctive characteristic of the vegetable crop lies in the unusual shape of the vegetables, thanks to which the variety got its name. The fruit culture has taken root remarkably on the territory of Russia due to its strong immunity and excellent yield.

Tomatoes are grown in any conditions, be it open or closed ground (greenhouses). Vegetable growers choose one of the options depending on the climatic characteristics. The growth type of the Flashen variety is indeterminate.

Universal fruits are used in the following form:

• conservation;

• drying;

• eating in natural form;

Fleaschen bushes are easy to identify by their high growth, which is from 2 to 3 meters. Shoots are thin and covered with narrow leaves of bright green color. Spreading plants. The brushes are large, in each of them several dozen tomatoes are formed at the same time (the average number is about 20 pieces).

The weight of ripe fruits ranges from 40 to 60 grams. The color is a rich red, evenly distributed throughout the vegetable. The shape is oval, elongated. There is a sharp nose at the end. Many summer residents compare the shape of the fruit with a bottle or pepper. Under the glossy and shiny skin, a juicy and moderately dense pulp is formed. In length, tomatoes reach 6-9 centimeters.

The gastronomic quality of the crop is high. With proper care, tomatoes grow juicy and sweet, with a pronounced tomato flavor.

The ripening period lasts from 110 to 120 days (from the moment of emergence to picking tomatoes). Fruiting is long-term. The exact timing is directly related to climatic features. In the south, fruits are harvested earlier than in the north or central part of the country.

The Flashen variety belongs to high-yielding fruit crops. During the season, 6 to 7 kilograms of vegetables are harvested from one bush. Crop volume can be reduced in cloudy weather, and the ripening period is increased. And also you need to follow the cultivation technique and maintain conditions comfortable for tomatoes.

The timing of sowing seeds to obtain seedlings varies with weather conditions. In the northern and central regions of Russia, work begins in early April, and in warm regions, germination of seed can begin in the first decade of March.

Producers indicate that the variety is not designed for planting immediately in open ground, especially in regions with cold and long winters, in which case the vegetables do not have time to fully ripen. Seedlings are formed on average 6-9 weeks, after which it can be safely transferred to a new cultivation site.

If you want to save time and effort, it is recommended to purchase seeds from gardening stores. Purchased material undergoes mandatory processing before going to the counter. Despite this, some gardeners advise checking the germination of the grain.It is enough to dip them into saline solution and wait from 5 to 10 minutes. All seed that has floated to the surface is discarded. The rest are used for germination.

Seeds collected personally are disinfected, otherwise the plants may grow inadequate and will often get sick. The selected material is dipped into a manganese solution and left for half an hour. This element destroys dangerous germs.

Seedlings need nutritious, light and loose soil, so ordinary soil from a garden plot will not work. You can also find a suitable substrate at a specialist store or make your own. In the same amount, humus is mixed with sod land. The resulting mixture is treated with high temperatures by placing a container with earth in the oven. The second treatment option is watering with a manganese solution. These procedures are aimed at reducing the risk of seed contamination.

The most common planting scheme for the Flashen variety is from 4 to 6 bushes per square meter of land.

To achieve abundant fruiting, and the quality of the fruits was at a height, tomatoes need to be grown in a lighted area. And also the beds must be protected from wind and drafts. About two weeks before the transfer of young bushes, the site is prepared. Digging and feeding are carried out. If you did not have time to do everything in advance, the work can be carried out during the planting process.

Landing holes are also made in advance. A portion of mineral fertilizers, which contain nitrogen and potassium, are laid in each well. These are two essential components for the full development of a vegetable culture. The first component is needed for green mass, and the second for delicious vegetables.

The soil must be warm enough, otherwise the fragile seedlings may die. If the seedlings were grown in peat pots, the transplant is carried out with them. When removing plants from containers, the earthen lump is left intact so that the root system does not suffer. After planting, the pits are sprinkled with soil, and abundant irrigation is carried out.

Watering the site is carried out as the top layer of the soil dries up. Stagnant moisture provokes the development of fungal infections. And also, excess moisture has a bad effect on the condition of the roots. In arid regions, it is advisable to regularly spud the planting. This will help retain moisture. Loosening has a positive effect on the condition of the roots. They receive the required amount of oxygen. Irrigation and loosening are often combined.

If weeds appear on the site, they are immediately removed. They not only interfere with tomatoes, but also take nutrients and moisture from the ground.

Fertilize the bushes every 7 days. They use both organic compounds and mineral fertilizers, which are needed to obtain a rich harvest.

The most common feeding options.

• 0.2 kilograms of urea per 10 liters of separated water. Consumption - 0.5 liters per plant.

• 200 grams of diammophoska are dissolved in 5 liters of water. The liquid is poured gently under the root so that the solution does not get on the leaves and shoots. This preparation contains potassium, phosphorus or nitrogen.

Bushes are formed into 1 or 3 stems. And also, the stepsons are regularly removed so that the fruits gain the maximum weight.

The tomato variety is highly resistant to many common diseases.

At the same time, there are a number of pathologies that can arise due to improper plant care.

• Lack of calcium provokes the appearance and development of apical rot. You can determine this ailment by dry heels in the lower often fruit. To protect the plants, you need to spray the bushes with calcium nitrate, the procedure is carried out 3-4 times per season. To prepare a solution, 20 grams of the substance are dissolved in 10 liters of water.

• The second ailment is brown spotting. The symptoms of this disease are gray marks on the leaves. If medications are not applied in time, the entire bush may die. A solution of colloidal sulfur, polycarbacin or copper sulfate will help to cope with the problem.
