Every experienced gardener knows that in order to achieve good success and a high-quality harvest, it is necessary to take proper care of tomatoes. You can plant Raspberry Chimes not only in the greenhouse, but also in the ground, and the yield does not decrease. Regardless of where the planting is carried out, tomatoes must be properly looked after, observing the requirements of agricultural technology.
Description of the variety
Variety Raspberry ringing refers to hybrids of the determinant type of growth. The fruits are consumed exclusively fresh.
This plant is suitable for growing both outdoors and in greenhouses.
The fruits have good transportability, the marketable yield from the bush is 98%.
The bushes grow in height from 100 to 130 cm, the foliage is medium. The foliage is medium-sized, green. The inflorescence is simple, the first clusters are formed above the 5th and 6th leaves, then through one or two leaves. The stalk has an articulation.
The main qualities of the fruit
When the fruits are not yet ripe, they have a light, green hue. In a mature state, the tomato becomes pink. The fruits can reach a maximum weight of 200 grams. By the ripening period, they acquire a rounded shape.
Up to 7 tomatoes are formed in each cluster. The pulp is medium in density. The fruit has a smooth skin.
Taste characteristics
The taste can be described as balanced.
Ripening and fruiting
Raspberry Jingle is a mid-season variety that ripens in 100 or 105 days.
Yield
You can get up to 4.5 kilograms of ripe tomatoes per square meter. The variety is high-yielding.
The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
Tomatoes are grown from seedlings, which take 5 to 8 weeks to produce. Planting begins most often in February or March. At this time, the seeds are planted in small containers.
In order for tomatoes to grow and bear fruit normally, it is necessary to provide them with sufficient light, humidity and temperature in the range from + 22 ° C to + 25 ° C. To maintain constant humidity, cover the pots with plastic wrap. Thus, it will be possible to create a favorable microclimate for plants.
Growing tomato seedlings is an extremely important process, because it largely depends on whether the gardener will be able to harvest at all. All aspects must be taken into account, from seedbed preparation to planting in the ground.
Landing scheme
The plant is planted according to the scheme 25-30 by 50-80 cm.
Growing and care
Successful seedling production is greatly influenced by proper soil preparation. It must be nutrient-rich and have adequate drainage. We must also not forget about the correct pH, which should be as close to inert as possible.
In addition, the land for the production of Raspberry Jingle seedlings must be free of all kinds of pathogens and pests. For preparation, you can use components such as sand, manure, peat, clay and soil.
The addition of a small amount of gravel allows for a light soil structure. There are also ready-made substrates on the market for sowing seeds and production of seedlings.
Avoid growing tomatoes Raspberry ringing near potato plantations. It is also important to carefully remove post-harvest residues.
Experts recommend spraying with a decoction of nettle or field horsetail.
This plant needs a timely garter. They produce it on stakes, trellises. And also the bushes must be formed. Set aside no more than 2 stems. Removing the side shoots of the Raspberry Jingle is a very important care procedure that allows you to focus all the energy of the plant on the development of the fruit. The most common is to grow plants in one shoot. To do this, only the main trunk is left on the plant, while all the rest of the stepsons appearing from the axils of the leaves must be removed.
In the case of growing tomatoes in two shoots, we leave the main trunk and one growing under the first group of fruits. More shoots have a huge impact on subsequent fruiting. Plants grown with more than one stem require more watering and feeding.
In order for the Raspberry Jingle plants to give a normal harvest, it is necessary to create certain conditions for them.
The soil must be saturated with calcium, which not only helps flowering, but also prevents the appearance of black spots. To introduce this element into the soil, a solution of calcium nitrate is used.
Raspberry ringing tomatoes need trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. To saturate the soil with these nutrient components, you should use a complex fertilizer nitroammofosku.
The soil in the greenhouse should not be too wet or dry. It is made quite loose, as it is necessary for good growth of tomatoes. Light loams and sandy loams are ideal because they retain moisture well. In order to create the proper conditions for the crimson ringing tomatoes, peat or sawdust must be added if necessary for clay soil.
The first fertilization of tomatoes is carried out 2 weeks after planting. Use mullein solution. To prepare the mixture, you need to mix:
0.5 liter mullein;
10 liters of water.
A liter of liquid is used per bush. Subsequent feeding is carried out no earlier than 10 days later. For the preparation of solutions, you can use potassium sulfate and a ready-made mixture of trace elements. The amount of ingredients is measured according to the instructions.
A plant needs different micronutrients at each stage of growth. All fertilizers can be divided into two groups: mineral and organic.Folk remedies are often used: iodine, yeast, bird droppings, eggshells.
It is important to observe the rate and period of feeding. This also applies to folk remedies and organic fertilizers.
Disease and pest resistance
Raspberry Jingle has excellent resistance to:
late blight;
alternaria;
wilting of fruits;
tobacco mosaic.
Steel diseases must be treated. Preventive measures help against gray rot. Maintaining low air humidity under the film. Spraying with fungicide preparations.
Insects are another problem. Spraying with preparations based on polysaccharides helps from thrips.
To remove aphids, you can use its natural enemies, for example, ladybirds. Neem oil and garlic infusion help a lot.
Growing regions
Can be grown in many regions of the country.
