Determinate tomatoes are a favorite with many gardeners. But it is very important for them to update their collection of fruit crops at least periodically. And for this purpose it would be a good idea to use the Vermilion variety.
Breeding history
The culture was allowed for practical cultivation on the territory of the Russian Federation in 2015. It was developed by Niromen Global INC. The Dutch developers put all their experience into the project, so they managed to achieve excellent resistance to various pathologies.
Description of the variety
The official synonym for culture is Vermilion F1. Bushes are undersized (no more than 70 cm). But these compact plants are powerful, with a lot of leaves. The foliage itself is plain green and is medium in size.
The main qualities of the fruit
Light green unripe tomatoes are devoid of the spots in the area of the stalk, which is typical for a number of other varieties. Having matured, Vermilion turns pink. Neither spots, nor streaks or blotches are characteristic of a healthy crop. The usual weight of berries ranges from 184 to 213 g, they have a flat-round shape. Although the rind is thin, it is very strong. The keeping quality of this culture is also excellent.
Taste characteristics
The flesh of Vermilion is firm, fleshy and tender. A characteristic "sugar" effect appears at its break. The quality of the fruits is quite high, and they are liked by at least 1/3 of gardeners. The crop can be used as a diet food, in vegetable salads or for processing. When canning, the peel does not burst, the flesh also remains firm.
Ripening and fruiting
Vermilion is a representative of the mid-season tomato category. It takes 80-85 days to fully ripen. You can remove the fruits in:
July;
August;
September.
Yield
The culture belongs to high-yielding varieties. Suppliers of planting material declared the ability to produce up to 13.3 kg per 1 sq. m. This allows the variety to remain one of the favorites in agriculture.
The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
The seedling preparation time is quite flexible. Seeds can be planted from January to April inclusive. The term is chosen independently, taking into account the needs and plans. It is worth doing everything so that the seedlings are fully strengthened by the time they are transplanted into the open ground.
Growing tomato seedlings is an extremely important process, because it largely depends on whether the gardener can harvest at all. All aspects must be taken into account, from seedbed preparation to planting in the ground.
Landing scheme
It is recommended to land according to the 500x500 mm system. Experiments of any kind are not worth doing. Anyway, the officially proposed option is best suited.
Growing and care
Agrotechnics - typical for determinant varieties. Watering must be regular, otherwise the roots will not develop properly. Long breaks in irrigation will also worsen the quality of the fruit. It is difficult to obtain a high yield without mulching. Top dressing should not contain a lot of nitrogen.
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
Resistance to major tomato infections is very high. Therefore, fungal diseases practically do not reduce fertility. This property is extremely important for industrial cultivation. The danger of late blight is also insignificant. He can infect Vermilion only in the wet cold season, and, moreover, only in open ground.
Resistant to adverse weather conditions
The Vermilion tomato can easily survive sudden temperature spikes. He is not afraid of the rather long negative effects of the weather. In both cases, the plant will quickly recover from the stress experienced. He is not afraid even of strong winds and excessive moisture. Moreover, even the risk of sunburn is small.
