The Nikitka variety belongs to the early group. If the culture has begun to bear fruit, it will yield a crop for quite some time. Usually berries appear 107-115 days after planting. As always, this indicator depends on the weather and agricultural practices.

The usual collection is 4.9-5.2 kg per 1 sq. m. The spread is small, and therefore the weather is not too significant. But the importance of agricultural technology should not be underestimated.

Seeds are usually sown in seed containers in March. After that, the seedlings should develop from 60 to 65 days. However, it is not very wise to rush to transfer plants into the ground. It is necessary to consider how exactly they will grow. They also pay attention to the warming up of the soil, and the danger of recurrent frosts.

In this regard, the Nikitka variety does not represent anything surprising. It is recommended to grow it according to the 40x40 cm system. With other planting options, a good result is not guaranteed.

It is imperative to remove excess stepsons from Nikita's tomatoes. The plants themselves will also have to be placed on supports.A very important feature is the correct formation, without it it will hardly be possible to achieve success. It is believed to be resistant to fruit cracking, but it is still necessary to provide good conditions for it. It is necessary to form bushes in 1 or 2 stems.

In order for the seedlings to develop successfully, it is necessary to sow seeds on slightly compacted soil. Mulching with peat is recommended. In some cases, it is replaced with ordinary soil (the layer is about 1 cm). It is recommended to first cover the seedlings with foil and keep at a temperature of about +25 degrees. When shoots appear, the film cover needs to be removed.

At this moment, the seedlings are placed in a bright place. There it will be necessary to keep them for 5-7 days at + 15 ... 16 degrees. Then the temperature is increased to + 20 ... 22 degrees. When 1-2 true leaves appear, they resort to diving. Seedlings at the age of 60-65 days are ready for planting if they have 6-7 true leaves and at least 1 flower cluster has appeared.
