Tomato Tanya

Varieties that do not require pinching are increasingly attracting attention. The Tanya variety belongs to just such. At the same time, the culture has excellent characteristics, taste and high yield.

The determinant hybrid was bred by Dutch breeders in 2007 and was approved for use. The originator was MONSANTO HOLLAND B. V., but the main supplier is the subsidiary agricultural company Seminis Vegetable Seeds. The crop is versatile and intended for outdoor cultivation. Tomato Tanya has good yields in the south of the country and in the Central Black Earth Region. In other regions, additional cover is required.

It is found under such names as:

• Tatiana;

• Tanya F1;

• Tanya.

The culture is considered undersized, the height of the bushes is only 50-70 cm. The type is standard. The stem is powerful, strong and well developed. The crown is compact, but branched. Therefore, it is necessary to tie the bushes to the trellis system.

Leaves are medium in size, fleshy, green in color, slightly rough to the touch. There are quite a lot of leaves on the bush, so they must be thinned periodically so that they do not use useful trace elements in vain.

The roots grow inward and sideways. Therefore, the seedling sits firmly in the ground. The variety is not afraid of a short drought, but it should not be abused.

The inflorescence of the culture is intermediate, it is formed above 6-7 leaves. Further, it is formed with an interval of 1-2 sheets. Pale yellow buds bloom profusely. Clusters are of the transitional type; several fruits can form in a bunch, from 4 to 8 pieces. The fruits are identical to each other. The peduncle in a culture with an articulation.

It is recommended to leave 2-3 shoots when forming a bush.

The shape of the fruit is spherical or round. Their weight is 140-165 g. Vegetables weighing 200 g are also found, but for this variety it is very rare. Such a fruit is formed only on the lower branches once a season. The color is uniform, pink or raspberry pink. The characteristic green spot on the peduncle is absent.

The pulp is medium in density, fleshy, deep pink in color. Several seed chambers are formed inside.

The type of variety is universal. Therefore, it is suitable for the preparation of most dishes. Due to the density of the peel, tomatoes are suitable for canning and do not crack when cooked. And also vegetables can be transported over long distances, since their keeping quality is about one and a half months.

Tomato Tanya has a rich, sweet taste. The berries have an excellent dry matter to sugar ratio.

The variety belongs to the group of medium early crops. From the formation of ovaries to full ripening of the fruit, an average of 70-75 days pass. Fruiting is long-term, as the tomatoes ripen gradually. Harvesting takes place at the end of July.

Gardeners report high yields. With good care, 1.5-3 kg can be removed from one bush. 5.1 kg of tomatoes are removed from 1 m2. The number of stems left in the bush affects the yield. And also the harvest directly depends on weather conditions and the amount of sunlight.

Seeds are prepared before sowing. They are treated with a special solution to stimulate growth, and then placed in a saline solution for a day. After that, the material is washed in water.

The soil is processed.A small layer of earth is placed in an oven heated to 150 ° C for 15 minutes. This will disinfect the soil and dry it out.

Sowing is carried out approximately 50-60 days before the expected date of planting seedlings in the ground. This usually falls in mid-March.

Earth is poured into special containers or pots, and holes are formed with a depth of 1-1.5 cm. The distance between them is 2 cm. After sowing the seeds, the earth is leveled, and everything is poured abundantly with water through a spray bottle so that no new pits are formed. The containers are covered with foil and placed on the windowsill. Within 5-8 days, the seeds will hatch, and the film can be removed.

Care for young seedlings is simple. Regular watering and loosening must be observed. Top dressing is applied carefully and in small quantities so as not to burn the roots. The pick is carried out in the allotted time. New containers must have a volume of at least 500 ml.

10 days before transplanting, the seedlings are taken outside for acclimatization. In height, seedlings should be from 20 cm, have 6-8 strong leaves.

At this time, the site is prepared and spilled with hot water. Next to the pits, a support with a height of 80 cm is immediately installed. Ammonium nitrate can be poured onto the bottom of the hole to stimulate growth and an active set of green.

Experienced gardeners have already tried and tested planting patterns. Most often, they plant crops in a checkerboard pattern of 40x50 cm.And there are 3-4 plants per 1 m2. This is the optimal distance at which the bushes will not interfere with each other, and they will not have a conflict over moisture and minerals.

The Tanya variety is unpretentious in care. To have a good yield, you just need to observe some points.

• Bushes are very fond of moisture, so one seedling accounts for 3 to 5 liters of water. Watering should be done 1-2 times a week. If the weather is too dry, irrigation can be increased. The procedure is performed early in the morning or in the evening after sunset. The main thing is that the water is warm.

• The stems and crown must be tied to a support, since under its own weight and the mass of the fruit, the trunk tends to the ground and can break.

• Top dressing is carried out every week. It is best to use fertilizers containing nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Among organic fertilizers, wood ash, poultry manure, manure and fluoride are in demand.

• Loosening of the soil is carried out immediately after watering. This is done to break up the top layer of the earth, which can become too dense due to drought, and will stop letting oxygen to the roots.

• If the culture is grown indoors, then it must be ventilated, especially in hot weather.

The manufacturer claims that the Tanya variety is not susceptible to the most common fungal diseases such as late blight, apical rot or spotted grayness. It is recommended to spray the culture with a solution of "Fitosporin" or "Profit", carrying out preventive work. It can also be sprayed with soapy or garlic solution.

The plant is often attacked by the following pests.

• Colorado beetle. It should be harvested by hand, as there is no safe fruit remedy from it.

• Slugs and snails. They appear from excess moisture or from the fact that the mulch has not been changed for too long.

• Whitefly can be fought with special glue plates that are hung over the bushes.
