Tomato Red Red

The name of the tomato Red Red is quite promising, but objective information is also important. Only by understanding the features of this culture in detail, you can achieve success. And, as always, there are no trifles when using it at all.

The variety was created in LLC "Heterosis selection". 5 large specialists were working on it. To obtain this culture, the base variants 5-147 / 1 and 5-354 were hybridized. The admission for growing in private gardens was issued in 2020.

Red red is a bright (in every sense) representative of indeterminate hybrids. He is guaranteed to find a place in the open field. But growing in a greenhouse under a film will be quite possible.

The bushes are able to rise to a height of 1.8-2 m. There are relatively few branches on them, but the number of leaves is very large. The foliage is green in color and reaches a medium length.

Traditionally, it is worth emphasizing that the fruits that have just appeared will have a simple green color. As they develop further, they will acquire a red color.

Large size is typical for these fruits. Usually the berry mass is 0.35 kg. These rounded tomatoes have weak ribs. 1 brush produces 5-7 fruits.

Other features:

• articulated peduncle;
• formation in simple inflorescences;
• excellent keeping quality.

The pulp of tomato Red is moderately dense. At the bend, she's a sugary. In terms of graininess, this fruit is close to a watermelon. The smooth and thin skin is quite tough. It has no negative impact on taste perception.

This tomato belongs to the early group of varieties. Under favorable conditions, you can start harvesting at the end of June. Harvesting time continues, weather permitting, until frost in the fall. Importantly, during the entire fruiting period, valuable consumer qualities are not lost.

The fertility of the variety is quite high. It can reach 6.2 kg per 1 m2. But the result depends primarily on the quality of agricultural technology.

Sowing seeds in containers should be approximately at the end of March. If cultivation in greenhouses under a film is planned, then this should be done even earlier. The soil in greenhouses should be prepared in advance before planting. Landing is recommended at a soil temperature of 14-15 degrees. It is also worth emphasizing that readiness for transshipment is usually reached on the 45-60th day of seedling development.

It is recommended to place the bushes according to the rule of 300x500 mm. It is highly advisable to limit yourself to planting 3 plants per 1 m2. With a more dense use of the territory, mutual interference is likely to be created by tomatoes.

It is imperative to remove stepchildren and tie up the bushes. The formation of a plant must certainly go into 1 stem. The use of 2 or more stems is categorically contraindicated from the point of view of agronomic science. Watering is carried out regularly, making sure that the earth does not dry out. In a greenhouse planting, it is recommended to use drip irrigation.

Mulching of plantings plays a very important role. Without it, the rapid drying up of the earth cannot be avoided. Peat or straw is best suited as mulch. It is necessary to weed the ground regularly so that foreign plants do not start there. Dealing with them after deep rooting will be much harder.

Tomato Red self-pollinates red. Therefore, it is a pleasure to use it in greenhouse plantings. The soil can be made from turf with humus or from peat mixed with ordinary garden soil. The addition of well-washed river sand guarantees the necessary lightness. To have more nutrients, wood ash is added to the standard mixture.

Seedlings are traditionally dived after the appearance of 2 true leaves. Hardening it will also be a mandatory procedure. The depth of the holes is at least 20-30 cm.

Watering the bushes should be 2 times a week. With the onset of heat, you can do this 3 times, or even more often. At the beginning of the growing season, nitrogen fertilizers will have to be used, and later the balance shifts towards mixtures based on potassium and phosphorus.

It should be borne in mind that due to too frequent and active feeding, the risk of pathologies may increase. Therefore, a fair amount of caution should be observed in this matter. Tying to the supports is done as soon as the tomatoes reach a height of 60-80 cm. The branches developing further will need to be additionally tied up and strengthened. Every year, the top layer of the earth, especially in greenhouses, is completely renewed.

Fruit cracking is unlikely. Resistance to other pathologies is also at a decent level. For additional protection against adverse factors, you should:

• observe crop rotation;
• carry out timely processing of plantings for the purpose of prevention;
• process the soil before planting with copper sulfate;
• regularly inspect the bushes;
• cut off and burn the affected growth.

In this respect, the variety is quite resistant. But it is still better to avoid such situations. In areas with difficult climates, it is recommended to use greenhouses and warm high beds.

You can plant and harvest a decent crop in:

• Siberia;
• Moscow and Leningrad region;
• central Black Earth region;
• Lower and Middle Volga region;
• edges and regions of the Far East, North Caucasus;
• regions and republics of the north of the European part of Russia.
