All gardeners and gardeners want to get high-quality and tasty harvest in their plots. However, for such a result is not enough efforts and application of modern agricultural technology.It is important to use the best varieties of vegetables. Tomato "Fighter", he is "Buyan" - one of the excellent options. It is only necessary to study some of the subtleties of growing this variety.
Special features
This variety belongs to the very "young" - breeding work was completed only in 2012. But even in the past few years, it has become clear that such plants perform well in conditions of the West Siberian climate. There are "red" and "yellow" subspecies, the difference between which consists mainly in the geometry of the fetus. This distinction does not affect consumer characteristics. “Buyan” is an early ripe type of tomato, sometimes it takes less than 100 days between the emergence of seedlings to the surface and the ripening of the first vegetables.
Even by external signs, you can accurately determine that these tomatoes differ from the usual varieties. Leaf formation is moderately intense. Inflorescence is 3 times smaller than the foliage. The maximum height of the bush is limited to 0.5 m, that is, against the background of other varieties, the vegetable simply risks losing sight of. But the dwarfism of a culture can even be considered an advantage, because there is no need for such usual manipulations as garter and stepson.
"Fighter" grows well in open areas and in hotbeds. The developers specifically tried to strengthen such characteristics as resistance to adverse weather conditions and pathological microorganisms. There is a solid immunity to bacterial infections, and to the causative agent of tobacco mosaic (which has, as it has long been established, a viral nature). On 1 square. m. in favorable conditions it is possible to grow up to 25 kg of fruit.
Unripe tomatoes have a green color and are covered with dark spots. As soon as the cylindrical fruits, externally resembling a plum, ripen, they become pronounced red and become covered with a smooth, smooth, glossy-looking skin. The very first crop is usually larger than the next, but the average weight is about 0.07 kg.
The seeds of the fruit of this variety a little. Inside each tomato there are 4 (sometimes 5) cameras intended for them. Judging by the reviews of consumers, the collected fruits are sweet with a sour taste, that is, exactly as good tomatoes should be. Even in the sectional photo, the meatiness and juiciness of the vegetable is clearly visible.
How to grow
Seedling
Excellent yield is ensured when sowing seeds in March. They are deepened into the ground by about 20 mm.
- First, the soil at the base of the ram.
- Then spread out the seeds themselves.
- Then pour a thin soil layer with peat.
Watering seedlings produced with a spray. In this case, you do not need to buy a special mechanism, since a simple sieve is capable of replacing it. Boxes expose in a warm place, covered on top of the film. After the germination of tomatoes, the film must be removed and the boxes moved to where there will be enough sunlight. Picks are made immediately after going out of 1 or 2 developed leaves. Top dressing before disembarkation is made at least two times.
Development in the free land
Hardening “Buyan” is needed about a week before landing. Its term comes after completion of frosts. Agronomical description of the variety recommends 1 square. m. plant no more than 8 or 9 bushes. Like any other varieties of tomatoes, this watered with extremely warm water. Cold liquid affects plants extremely negatively. On the hottest days, watering is done in the evenings.
Judging by the reviews and expert estimates, you need to pay increased attention to fertilizing and loosening the soil. Up to the formation of ovaries, it is advisable to add mineral fertilizers to the soil. Noticing the appearance of the fruit, go to potassium feed.
Although the “Fighter” largely justifies its name, even its stamina is not always enough to withstand various diseases. Therefore, the final result is largely determined by care.It is especially recommended to take care of phytophlorosis prevention (however, this is a universal requirement for any tomato).
In the process of fruit ripening, greenish spots may appear. In this case, do not be afraid, it is considered the norm. As soon as the vegetables are 100% ripe, the spots will disappear, leaving no trace. More serious cracks. They arise:
- when planting in excessively wet soil or with unjustified enthusiasm for irrigation;
- due to congestion of bushes with fruits;
- due to excess fertilizer;
- with weak insolation.
Gardeners who grow "Buyan", note its excellent characteristics for conservation. Smooth and even tomatoes are not inclined to crack in a jar. The juice obtained by grinding fruits satisfies all tomato lovers. It is also recommended to include fruits in various salads.
Additional Information
Early ripe tomatoes of the determinant group can be grown using seeds collected in the last third of the season. You can wait for ripening up to the first negative temperatures in autumn. Preferred soils - light fraction, with a high concentration of nutrients. Sensitivity to temperature variations during the day is minimal.
Due to culinary characteristics, tomatoes are tasty not only fresh, but also after stewing, freezing or drying. It should be borne in mind that the "Fighter" is not suitable for long storage without conservation. If you have to grow seedlings with insufficient light day, it is recommended to use fitolamps. The total duration of coverage should be at least 15 hours per day.
To reduce the risk of deformation of the root complex during transplantation in the garden can be due to picking in pots with peat. Quenching is that the tank is moved to a relatively cool place.
To prevent the development of most diseases, it is enough to add potassium permanganate to the watering system (several granules per 1 liter).
Despite the endurance of the “Buyan”, it is undesirable to replant it until the soil warms up to 15 degrees. It is better to do beds on the southern sector of the site (where it is more difficult for them to reach the draft). You can increase the chances of success, as well as suppress weeds by mulching with peat or old straw. Experienced agronomists advise to loosen the soil immediately after watering, but not zealous at the same time.
The fight against late blight is carried out by spraying diseased bushes with mixtures containing copper. To protect the tomatoes from sunburn helps Bordeaux mixture, the layout of which is blunt nail. To prevent the appearance of foci of gray rot helps sufficient watering and the use of calcium fertilizers as needed. If this trouble has already arisen, it is necessary to spray calcium nitrate for several days in a row.
Another useful technique is seed etching in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. After that, they should be thoroughly dried. The “fighter” is well cultivated on sandy loams, but on loams and heavy clays it is more difficult. Independent cutting at a low height removes the need to remove the growing point and axillary shoots.
From all of the above we can conclude that this variety is quite suitable for busy farmers and gardeners interested in a guaranteed early harvest of tasty tomatoes.
