Tomato Pink Margari - a new indeterminate hybrid, also known as JT Il 1, was bred by breeders for fresh consumption, juices and salads. It has impressive characteristics and grows well in open field and greenhouses. The fruits tolerate transportation well, are suitable for storage, and are distinguished by an attractive presentation.
Description of the variety
The tall hybrid has strong shoots. The bush is not very branched, with a powerful stem. The tops are formed from leaves of medium length. They are not pubescent, standard type, green in color. The formed inflorescences are simple and semi-complex. The first fruit cluster is laid after the 7th leaf.
The main qualities of the fruit
Tomatoes of the Pink Margari hybrid produce fruits that are initially colored green, with a characteristic lighter area in the region of the stalk. Ripe pink tomatoes, flat-round in shape, with pronounced ribbing. The fruits are large, weigh an average of about 260 g, collected in a cluster of 4-6 pieces. Under the strong skin there is a dense pulp, tomatoes are resistant to cracking.
Taste characteristics
The fruit has a high tasting score. They have a good balance of acidity and sweetness and contain a lot of dry matter. The taste is rich, the aroma is bright.
Ripening and fruiting
Tomato Pink Margari belongs to mid-season hybrids. The ripening period in a greenhouse is 58-62 days, in the open field they increase.
Yield
The hybrid bears fruit in an amount of up to 15.4 kg / sq. m. This allows us to classify it as a high-yielding subspecies.
The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
Pink Margari tomatoes can be sown on seedlings early, in the 3rd decade of February. They are transferred to the greenhouse in mid-April.
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
This hybrid can be planted according to the 50 × 40 cm scheme.No more than 3 bushes are located per 1 m2.
Growing and care
In the open field, plants require the installation of trellises for tying. They can be grown in 4-6 stems, depending on the desired yield indicators. The hybrid is used in the spring, summer and intermediate crop rotation. Plants lend themselves easily to formation, give the harvest together.
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
This hybrid has a high immune resistance to viral diseases. Practically not affected by tobacco mosaic, fusarium wilting. In greenhouses, vulnerable to whiteflies and aphids. In the open field it can suffer from attacks of the Colorado potato beetle. Mulching the soil around the central shoot helps to protect the bushes from pests.
Resistant to adverse weather conditions
Plants are not afraid of temperature extremes; in greenhouses they tolerate short-term temperature drops well. The hybrid is resistant to high humidity, grows and develops normally in such conditions. This makes it the best choice for planting in greenhouses with irregular ventilation.
Growing regions
Pink Margari hybrid is quite well adapted to various growing conditions. It can be planted in the northern and eastern regions, in the central and black earth regions. Tomato bushes can be planted outdoors in the North Caucasus. The Far East and Western Siberia are also suitable for cultivation, but using greenhouses.
Review overview
According to summer residents, who have already tested Pink Margari tomato in planting on their plots, this hybrid really justifies the hopes placed on it. Seedlings sprout rather quickly, gain strength, when transferred to open ground and greenhouses do not get sick, even if neighboring plants are affected. Fruiting is amicable and abundant - this is noted by all gardeners. The tomatoes themselves taste quite high too. And also the fruits have excellent commercial properties, they are already grown for sale by some farms.
The disadvantages of the new hybrid are quite obvious. According to summer residents, Pink Margari still needs to be tested by Russian climatic conditions. The purchase of seed is also a problem so far.At the same time, it is impossible to get offspring with the same characteristics by collecting seeds from the first generation hybrids, that is, it will not be possible to multiply the plantings on their own.
