Tomato "White filling": description of the variety and the rules of cultivation

The phrase “White filling” in the vast majority of our compatriots is associated with the name of delicious apples, but experienced gardeners know well that this is also an early ripe type of tomato. He received such an original name due to the color of the fruit, which, when ripe, gradually changes from a green shade to a milky cream like an apple.

A variety of tomatoes called Bely Pouring or Bely Pouring 241 was created by Soviet biologists from the Republic of Kazakhstan in the 70s of the last century by crossing two varieties: Pushkinsky and Viktor Mayak. The agronomist scientists set at that moment the actual task of breeding a unique variety that could grow in any climatic conditions. And they really did succeed, because, as the description of the variety says, “Bely poured” is a plant that can grow well and bear fruit in any climatic zones.

These tomatoes are grown in almost every region of our country, both in hot areas and in areas with often cold weather.

The “White filling” tomato grown on an open area can grow by 50 cm, and in the greenhouse the height of the bush is greater - there they can reach 60-70 cm. This is an early ripening variety that produces a crop in 90-100 days after planting seeds, and in the greenhouse, the fruits ripen even earlier - you can eat greenhouse tomatoes in three months.

Ripe fruits "White filling" are characterized by bright scarlet color, have a round shape and a rather thin smooth skin. Inside the tomatoes are juicy and very meaty. On average, each vegetable weighs from 90 to 115 grams. The fruits are strong, resistant to cracking, so they very well withstand transportation and storage. All fruits on one bush ripen simultaneously in literally 1.5-2 weeks.

Shrubs have abundant foliage with 5-6 simple type brushes. The leaves are light green in color, have an average size, the structure of the leaf is wrinkled without any pubescence, and its shape corresponds to the main varietal characteristics. The root system is powerful, it can grow up to half a meter in all directions without significant penetration.

The plant has the most common inflorescences, the type of their location is intermediate. The very first of them appears above the sixth leaf, and all subsequent ones grow upward in increments of 1-2 leaves. In each inflorescence of 3 flowers. Stem with articulation.

"White filling" refers to ultra early ripening varieties, has good germination and increased resistance to diseases typical of tomatoes. In connection with the rapid maturation, he does not have time to become infected with late blight, and also has high immunity to such ailment as dry spotting (macrosporosis).

"White filling" is usually grown for preservation, because the fruits perfectly keep their original shape and do not crack. Of these tomatoes often produce and juice - it turns thick, and its color is dark scarlet. This vegetable showed itself well in the production of pasta, all kinds of ketchup and adjika. Tomatoes retain their taste and nutritional properties when frozen.

Ready-to-eat tomatoes of this variety can be obtained in 80-100 days after the first shoots. According to reviews, only one kg of vegetables usually receive 3 kg of vegetables - for the period when this variety was bred, a similar figure was considered almost a record. Nowadays, breeders succeeded in breeding hybrids that produce a higher yield. However, "White filling" remains among the "leaders" in terms of yield. In general, from one square meter of acreage can be obtained from 8 to 10 kg of ripe tomatoes.

This plant is characterized by simultaneous maturation. Of course, not all tomatoes ripen at the same time, but about a third of them, thanks to this property, gardeners can immediately harvest a large crop and start harvesting it for the winter, without waiting for the rest of the tomatoes to ripen.

Resistance of a tomato to garden wreckers and widespread diseases of a tomato, and also unpretentiousness to natural climatic conditions in many respects promotes high parameters of productivity. Productivity does not depend on them at all, since the plants planted in the garden perfectly tolerate the sweltering heat, wind, and cold, as well as changeable atmospheric conditions.

Despite the abundance of hybrids that have appeared in recent years, "White filling" to this day does not lose its relevance and remains quite popular variety due to such characteristics as:

• yield;
• independence from the climatic zone;
• low requirements for soil type;
• lack of need for tying up of a bush and its pasynkovaniye;
• fetal strength and resistance to any cracking;
• excellent portability of transportation and storage.

For completeness, it does not hurt to talk about the minuses of this variety. Considering that he was bred almost half a century ago, there are some complaints against him. Fruits on the bushes can crack in case of large fluctuations of day and night temperatures, and this slightly narrows the regional coverage of the variety.

As a rule, the plant does not have time to become infected with late blight due to the early ripening of the fruit, but if the attack still happens, then saving the bushes will be quite problematic. However, the agronomist is recommended to use biopreparations in this case, which have repeatedly proved their effectiveness in combating diseases of the tomato family.

Compared with the hybrids bred in recent years, the variety has lower yields - some plant species give 6-8 kilograms of tomato from a single bush, while the usual “White filling” can give its owners only a fraction of this volume.

Well, in addition, consumer reviews say that the taste of these fruits is much inferior to later types of tomatoes.

Before you start planting tomatoes "White filling", all the seeds should be processed. To this end, they are soaked in a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate for 2-3 hours, and then rinsed in running water at room temperature. It is necessary to disinfect seeds, reduce the risk of developing diseases of the bush in the future.

Seeds for the production of seedlings are planted in the last days of March, as a last resort - in the first decade of April. The land must be used fertile, saturated with minerals, while the content of oxygen in it must be high, and the acidity, on the contrary, reduced. It is also recommended to pre-disinfect the ground and warm it up a little, otherwise the seeds will freeze and will not germinate.

After all the seeds are placed in the ground, you should spray it with a spray bottle and cover with polyethylene to create the greenhouse effect. Some replace the film on the glass - the effectiveness of this will not change. Keep future seedlings should be in a warm place, the air temperature in the room should not fall below 23 degrees. After the first shoots the shelter is removed. Watering should be moderate, optimally - drip, so as not to damage the young thin shoots.

After the appearance of two full leaflets, a pick should be carried out, and it is very important to follow the following rules:

• dive sprouts should be in separate cups, so that the roots of future plants are strengthened;
• It is advisable to take a peat or paper container, since the transplanting of the seedlings will not damage the root system, and the cups themselves will decompose in the ground, at the same time provide the plants with nutrients.

Periodically, seedlings should be fed with microelements, and shortly before transplanting into open ground, it should be gradually hardened. To do this, every day to make a container with young sprouts on a balcony or street, or daily air the room in which the bushes grow for several hours.

The term of transfer of seedlings to open ground depends on the May weather conditions - of course, transplantation should be carried out only after the likelihood of frost has passed. However, if you plan to grow bushes in the greenhouse, the planting can be carried out for 50-53 days, regardless of the external atmospheric conditions.

In any case, the height of the bush at the time of planting should not be lower than 20 cm, and 5 or more full leaves should appear on the stem.

Seedlings are planted in rows in a staggered manner with a spacing of 40-50 cm between seedlings. Phosphate fertilizer should be put in the hole. The soil itself immediately before transplantation must be fertilized and disinfected.

Caring for tomatoes is a snap. As it has been repeatedly mentioned, the variety “White filling” was created as universal, therefore it can be grown in almost all areas of our country and neighboring states. Despite such a high adaptive capacity, it needs special growing conditions.

Young shoots require light in rather large numbers, but at the same time they should not be planted under the scorching rays of the sun. It is optimal to find a place for a container where the sun is active only in the morning or in the evening, and the rest of the time the plants are located in light penumbra.

After picking, the seedlings should be watered as the earthen coma dries out, optimally pouring water under the root. An excess of moisture often causes such a disease of the tomato family as “black leg”.

Top dressing is produced throughout the entire life cycle of the plant, starting from the very first weeks. The first lure is carried out 10 days after the picks. At this point, the fertilizer must be used such that it is labeled "for seedlings", since the immature plants can simply "not digest" more adult formulations. After a week and a half to two weeks, they do another feeding and 2 weeks before disembarking - the third. After transplantation into open soil, the feed is carried out every two weeks, the composition is taken for an adult bush.

The optimal time for transplanting shrubs into the ground depends on regional climatic conditions, most often this procedure is carried out in late May-early June. As a rule, during this period there are no night frosts, which even the most hardened seedlings cannot survive.

The soil in which tomatoes are planted must be slightly acidic and nutritious. Sandy and loamy soils are best suited, but the ground should be prepared in the fall. To do this, they dig it with compost and humus, and if the soil is characterized by high acidity, then lime is also added to it.

The place should be well lit, because the sun's rays protect plants from fungal diseases, and in addition, contribute to the rapid maturation of the fruit. It is best if the plants are placed on the south or southeast side of the backyard or suburban area.

Optimal precursors for tomatoes are onions, as well as cucumbers, cabbage and zucchini.

But in areas where eggplant, Bulgarian pepper or potatoes used to grow in former years, tomatoes should be planted no earlier than 3-4 years later, since these crops are prone to the same diseases, the causative agents of which may remain in the soil from the former " hosts. "

Tomatoes of the type “White filling” absolutely do not tolerate crowding, in this connection it is desirable to place the seedlings in increments of at least half a meter between each other;

As for the already grown plants in the soil, they are considered to be quite unpretentious and do not require frequent watering - you can only moisten the soil a couple of times a week, but certainly plenty. Optimally, if you do this before the full sunrise or in the evening, when the temperature in the shade does not exceed 20 degrees, otherwise the probability of a fungus infection is high.

It is very important to improve the nutrition of the plant to regularly weed, loosen the soil and get rid of the weed, in addition, experts recommend at the first time after planting in the ground regularly spud seedlings for the active formation of lateral shoots.

As for feeding, it is best to use organic fertilizers. However, inorganic also gives good nutrition to the bushes. The first feed is done 2 weeks after disembarkation, then during the formation of the ovary, two feedings are carried out with an interval of 10 days.

The composition obtained from mullein with the addition of superphosphate shows itself very well - 20 grams of superphosphate are taken for 1 kg of manure and diluted in 9 liters of water - 1 liter of the obtained solution should be poured for each plant.

Many use yeast infusion, infusion of wood ash, as well as a decoction of nettle and onion peel for top dressing. Chicken dung is also considered a good source of trace elements that contribute to the increased fruitfulness of tomato bushes.

And, of course, the care of the plant must necessarily include preventive measures against tomato diseases. And it is necessary to do this in the fall: remove all grown weeds, dig up the ground with the addition of ash, and then treat the site with special pest control agents that can be bought at any store for gardeners and gardeners.

With the onset of cold weather, the larvae of pathogens of dangerous diseases begin to dig in the soil, therefore, such preparation will allow to get rid of most of them in advance. Experts also recommend treating the seedlings three weeks before the planned planting with a solution of copper sulphate or Bordeaux mixture.

Plant marigolds next to tomatoes - the smell of these flowers frightens away uninvited guests and protects your bushes from pests.

“White filling” is a variety of tomatoes, which gives a consistently high yield with a minimum of care and in any conditions. It is resistant to most garden pests, and the taste of personally grown fruit is always more refined and richer than that of tomatoes, bought in a supermarket.
