Many plant varieties are keen to give them promising names. And this case was no exception. However, it is necessary to really check how such a crop meets the expectations of farmers.
Description of the variety
Fleshy sugary tomato is distinguished by an indeterminate type of development. It is mainly used for indoor growing, and not for simple vegetable gardens. The bushes reach a height of 1.8 m. The resistance to stress is very high. Guaranteed resistance to significant fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
The main qualities of the fruit
The main features of these berries:
rich crimson color;
big size;
weight up to 0.8 kg;
heart-shaped geometric shape.
Taste characteristics
Variety Meaty sugary, really fleshy. And it's really sweet too. The fruits are often used fresh. And also they can be preserved.
Ripening and fruiting
The fleshy sugary belongs to the mid-season category. Under favorable conditions, you can expect the appearance of the first berries by mid-July. The fruits will ripen unevenly. But fruiting is long lasting. If the temperature drops to +15 degrees, the growing season stops completely; the impact of northern cold winds is also harmful.
Yield
On average, 1 bush accounts for up to 10 kg of berries. In a greenhouse, the harvest can be 3-4 kg more than under the same conditions outdoors. True, this applies only to the northern regions and partly to the middle zone - in the south it is impossible to notice any particular difference.
The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
Sowing seeds in seedling containers is usually recommended during March. But you can successfully do this in early April. It is advisable to plant mature seedlings in open ground in May or June. At the same time, they must be guided by what the readiness of the bushes is, how ready the earth itself is for such a procedure.
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
It is recommended to arrange the bushes of this tomato according to the 300x500 mm system. On 1 "square" use from 4 to 6 plants. Too high a concentration of plants is contraindicated. But when observing the varietal norm, no difficulties arise.
Growing and care
Tomato Meaty sugary cannot boast of an impressive level of immunity. Often his bushes suffer from harmful fungi. A particular danger is posed by:
phimosis;
late blight;
dry spotting.
When grown in open gardens, planting should be protected from slugs. It is most correct to deal with them using biological products of contact action. Whitefly attack is also a threat. In addition to collecting larvae, treatment with the drug "Confidor" helps to fight it. Fleshy sugary can only be diluted by seedlings - direct planting of seeds in the soil is not effective enough due to the long ripening time.
After treatment with potassium permanganate, the seeds are immersed in a solution that activates growth for 20 minutes. It is recommended to keep boxes with planted seeds in a warm room under plastic wrap. You can remove the film when the first shoots hatch. In this case, direct sunlight for seedlings is strictly contraindicated.
When planting both in a greenhouse and in free ground, you must first make sure that the ground temperature is at least +18 degrees. The cultivation technique is generally almost standard. Weeding of weeds plays a very important role, because they are the "accumulator" of parasitic fungi. Loosening is carried out as needed. At the same time, they carefully monitor that the root is not damaged - and therefore, a processing depth of more than 5 cm is extremely undesirable.
In warm, normal weather, 3 waterings per week are enough. But if the weather is hot, 2 additional sprinklers are recommended at the same time. After the beginning of flowering, you need to feed the bushes every 14 days. It is not required to form this variety, however, the removal of the lower stepchildren is encouraged. As soon as the plant rises to a height of 20 cm, it should be earthed and mulched with straw.
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.
