It is early, but at the same time indeterminate and large, with a huge growth potential of the bush and weighty fruits.

Techniques for a good harvest and fruit quality.

1. Stimulation of ovary formation. Plants are sprayed with boric acid, in the morning the brushes with future fruits are shaken so that the pollen settles on the pistils.

2. Tearing off leaves - stimulates the plant to direct the juices to the fruit. You need to cut off correctly.The foliage is removed no more than 1 time a week, only damaged, yellowed leaves are removed, and only under the ovaries, which have already grown to marketable size and have begun to fill.

3. Potassium-phosphorus fertilizing. The last feeding is carried out 1 week before harvesting.

Preliminary soil preparation is essential. Pink-fruited hybrids are demanding on nutrition, 70% of the total amount of dressings is applied to the soil, the rest is in the form of dressings during the growing season. In autumn, the soil is dug up, introducing 5 kg of humus, 50 g of superphosphate for each square meter. meter. It is unacceptable to plant tomatoes on overfed soil, soil with high acidity, with poor mechanical characteristics. The soil for this southern crop, and especially for sugar varieties, must necessarily be loose, moisture and airy.

Growing in a greenhouse will require special attention to soil renewal. For several years, it wears out, loses its nutritional value. Clean wheat straw that has not been treated with pesticides works well for recovery. It is used to mulch the soil after watering, by the end of the season they dig up the soil along with the mulch.

Good and proper watering is essential. The soil should always be saturated with moisture, but not turn into a swamp. It should dry out between waterings. Water only under the bush, avoiding moisture on leaves, flowers and fruits. All the leaves are removed from the bottom of the bush - they usually quickly become contaminated and are a source of infections. They monitor the uniformity of watering, if there was a pass in the irrigation, and the earth was very dry, you do not need to shock the plant with an abundant flow of water. It is better to pour out a moderate dose, half of the usual, and only then return to the standard volume. In the heat, water is plentiful, taking into account the evaporation of moisture and the costs of the plant for stress.

Tomato Pandarosa is suitable for autumn-winter cultivation. It is early, disease resistant. In this case, the seeds are sown directly into the ground in July. Planting is carried out in greenhouses. The crop is removed in November-December.

The variety is close to ideal. The fruits attract not by their exoticism, but by their precision and harmony of forms. They are of an even caliber, uniform, friendly, lying, very pleasant to look at and touch. The taste is delicate, dessert-sweet, not very popular with those who are looking for tart tomatoes, but delight the bulk of farmers - the tomato is very quickly eaten fresh. The size and power of the bush, resistance to diseases, a very harmonious yield of the harvest, beautiful brushes are impressive. Those who highly appreciated the variety also note that the plant will show itself on high, skillful agricultural technology, like any pink-fruited variety that needs high-quality feeding and careful watering.
