Tomato La la fa

The La-la-fa tomato hybrid has managed to gain high popularity among fans of natural vegetable farming. Its fruits are distinguished by excellent keeping quality, versatile in use, suitable for pickling and pickling whole. The variety is appreciated for the amicable formation of ovaries, the simultaneous ripening of tomatoes on the branches, sometimes it is found under the name La-la-fa F1.

The bushes are compact, undersized, usually no higher than 80 cm in height. The determinant hybrid forms 6-8 racemes on the main stem. The inflorescence is simple.

The fruits of this variety are large, with a smooth skin of a rich red hue. The average weight reaches 120-140 g. The shape of each fruit is flat-round, close to the classic one. Tomatoes are collected in bunches of 4-6 pieces. There are practically no voids inside the fruit.

Tomatoes are not too sweet, with pronounced tomato notes. The aroma is also typical for this type of vegetables.

This hybrid is characterized by extended fruiting, the harvest begins in June or July, depending on the climatic zone. According to the ripening rate, the tomato is mid-season, it needs cultivation for 100-110 days from the moment of emergence.

Tomato La-la-fa gives 3.5-4 kg of fruit per bush. This allows us to classify it as a high-yielding variety. Up to 12 kg of ripe tomatoes can be harvested from 1 m2.

Seeding is not done too early. For open ground, the optimal dates are from the end of March to the 1st decade of April. Plants are transferred to the beds 35-40 days after germination, but not earlier than the night frosts are completed. Dry seeds are sown, without preliminary soaking, germination is carried out at a temperature of + 28-29 degrees.

Tomato La-la-fa requires a planting scheme of 40 × 50 cm.More than 3-4 plants cannot be placed per 1 m2.

The hybrid needs a whole range of agrotechnical measures. It needs to be formed in 1-2 stems (the second is led from the stepson), garters to the support are needed. Be sure to remove stepchildren throughout the growing season. In cold regions, shelter will be needed, grown in greenhouses, in the south it is suitable for open ground. Sometimes it is landed in film tunnels.

The la-la-fa tomato garter should be trellised to provide sufficient support for the hands during fruiting.Passionate should be regular. When applied in 2 stems, 2-3 flower clusters are formed on a bush, located at a distance of 1-2 leaves from each other.

Subsequent care from the moment of transplanting into the ground consists in periodic watering of plants, fertilizing and weeding. The soil must be well moistened and loose, otherwise it will not work to achieve good yields. After each watering, it is necessary to weed the weeds, renew the mulch layer. It is possible to preserve moisture in the soil longer with the help of a special agrofibre, which is used to cover the soil surface.

The first watering since the transfer of plants to a permanent place in the greenhouse is carried out no earlier than 7 days. The water should be settled, well heated. In the future, you should maintain the frequency of watering with an interval of 3-4 days, making at least 5-7 liters at a time. It is important to ventilate the greenhouse or greenhouse after adding moisture to avoid condensation on the wall surface. On the hottest days, airing is also carried out at night.

Mineral dressing must be carried out at least 3 times during the season. At an early stage, La-la-fa tomato bushes require nitrogen. At the stage of flowering, the formation of ovaries, the feeding changes to potassium-phosphorus. Between them, you can prepare herbal infusions, keeping them for a week, followed by dilution of the concentrate.

Foliar dressing based on urea, boric acid, which does not allow a deficiency of minerals, will also be useful. They are sprayed over the foliage surface. They are especially useful during the period of weight gain. Periodic shaking of the bushes during the mass flowering of the brushes also helps to improve the tying of tomatoes. So pollination will be more fruitful.

The hybrid initially has a very high immunity to most typical diseases. It is resistant to fruit cracking, TMV damage, fusarium wilt, top rot of fruits. Due to the fact that the tomato is hybrid, it is not afraid of the main enemy of nightshade crops - cladosporium.

The tomato is considered relatively heat-resistant. It tolerates periods of intense temperature rises and droughts well.

The hybrid is well adapted to various growing conditions. It is successfully grown even in Siberia, but strictly in a shelter. In the Moscow region, there are successful examples of fruit ripening in the open field. Best of all, La-la-fa tomatoes feel under the hot sun of the Krasnodar Territory, the North Caucasus, as well as in the Central Region.

According to summer residents, La-la-fa tomato has many advantages. The extremely high yield makes it possible to harvest several boxes of selected tomatoes even from a small garden bed. The bright color of the peel of the fruit, as well as its elasticity, delights lovers of canning. Tomatoes are perfect for subsequent sale, they successfully transfer transportation and packaging. Vegetable growers are pleased with the size of the fruits, they are often compared with the "golden mean", noting that tomatoes are easily placed in jars.

Among other advantages, the excellent seed germination of this hybrid is noted. Seedlings also grow at the same rate, the change of periods is easy to control. The culture's resistance to diseases is above average; it practically does not require attention to itself both in the greenhouse and in the open air.

Of the disadvantages discovered by summer residents, one can single out the weak resistance of seedlings to the influence of external factors. Any violations of agricultural technology can lead to the death of plants. It is also mentioned that with an insufficient amount of dressing, the fruits are watery and not too tasty. The downside is the fact that it will not be possible to propagate the hybrid on your own.
