Description of the variety of tomatoes "Blagovest"

A tomato is a vegetable that can be found as often in vegetable gardens and suburban areas as potatoes or cucumbers, since these crops are commonly used in large quantities for food. Today, quite a lot of different varieties of tomatoes have been bred, among which “Blagovest” stands out.

Sometimes even an experienced gardener raises the question of choosing a particular variety for cultivation, and the variety of tomato species requires a more detailed acquaintance with the description of this crop. A large number of positive reviews that relate to the characteristics of the variety of tomatoes "Blagovest" cause a wide distribution of the hybrid, due to which they prefer to plant it on their plots.

Russian breeders worked on breeding varieties for growing it in greenhouses. Gardeners appreciated his precociousness and high yield. However, having been inspired by the indisputable advantages of the culture, one should still be careful, first of all, when acquiring seeds. Due to the increased demand in the market, it is quite often possible to buy a low-quality fake instead of a proven high-quality seed material.

In order to avoid such situations, it must be remembered that only Gavrish, a domestic firm, is engaged in seed production, where the work is carried out under careful authorial quality control. For retail sales, Blagovest seeds are resold to other companies, so that products for the garden can be found in the assortment of many companies. However, the purchase of tomatoes from the manufacturer will protect against counterfeiting.

The important point is the fact that the tomato was obtained without the use of genetic engineeringTherefore, it is the result of traditional breeding works, the main task of which is the crossing of different cultures. However, seeds from tomato fruits used for seedlings will not correspond to all qualities of the variety, so it will be senseless to use them for breeding Blagovest. The need for the annual purchase of new seeds for planting tomatoes is a major feature in the description of the variety. But in comparison with similar products of foreign production, domestic seeds are much lower.

With regard to the versatility of the hybrid, it is due to the possibility of eating fresh tomatoes, as ingredients for different dishes that require heat treatment, as well as for preparing various sauces, adzhik and rolling in banks for the winter.

The “Blagovest F1” hybrid is appreciated for the rapid ripening of tomatoes: as a rule, the growing season of the culture is about 100 days.

Characteristic features of the plant can be attributed to the determinant type. As a result of development, the height of the tomato bush can reach a two-meter mark. Culture for natural growth requires shaping in two stalks. In the course of cultivation in a high greenhouse until the end of the season, the plant can be re-topped.

Bushes are developing rapidly, due to which they need timely garter to specially equipped supports. As practice shows, when growing a tomato, it is possible to tie up not only the plant stems, but also the hands themselves, on which the fruits are ripening. It is noticed that the number of tomatoes on the bushes increases if you shift the growth point from the main shoot to the one on the side.

The green mass of the plant is represented by parotid leaves with medium size. Their color varies from green to gray-green. The bush blossoms with small-sized bisexual buds. As a rule, from 7 to 9 tomatoes are formed on one brush.As for the pinching, these works in the case of Tomato "Blagovest" are mandatory.

Hybrid tomatoes are not distinguished by any features in appearance, compared with other varieties of tomatoes. Vegetables ripen round shape, with a smooth and moderately flattened top. The peel is smooth, glossy, the color of ripe fruit is red. The pulp of tomatoes is elastic and moderately juicy, the weight of one tomato is an average of 120 grams.

As for the taste of tomatoes, they are quite rich with minimal acidity. Each fruit has two or three seed chambers. Ripe tomatoes under the right conditions are well and for a long time stored, fruit transportability is high. Due to the correct form, the product is in demand for canning in general.

Since Blagovest is a hybrid variety, its seeds are not capable of producing offspring. Due to this peculiarity of a tomato, its fruits are not harvested for subsequent cultivation. The maximum yield of tomatoes is possible in the process of plant breeding in greenhouse conditions. Regarding cultivation in open ground, Blagovest is distinguished by average harvest volumes.

On average, from one healthy plant, you can get about 6 kilograms of vegetable. During transportation over long distances, fruits retain their freshness well, so that the crop is widely used for the subsequent sale of tomatoes in large volumes, in addition, for private purposes the hybrid is also often grown.

Due to high yields of varieties of early ripening fruits, as well as long periods of the formation of brushes with tomatoes, due to the outstanding height of the plant and immunity to most diseases.

In order to have the most objective idea of ​​the Blagovest F1, one should familiarize oneself with the positive and negative sides of culture, which manifest themselves during its cultivation.

The advantages of a selection variety include the following features:

• 100% seed germination;
• short periods of fruit ripening;
• high yield with proper farming techniques;
• immunity to diseases, as well as the resistance of the culture to damage by pests;
• the possibility of using vegetables in various variants for food;
• transportability and keeping quality of tomatoes;
• the ability to grow vegetables for private use and for industrial purposes.

Weaknesses are present in every culture, regardless of its origin.

The minus varieties "Blagovest" should include the following qualities:

• good crop yield requires growing it in a greenhouse;
• the need for garter bushes due to their rapid growth and development.

To get a young hybrid plant, first of all, they are engaged in planting seedlings, and it, in turn, is already transferred to greenhouses or to open ground for subsequent cultivation. However, in any case, for good growth of tomatoes will need high quality and well-prepared soil. To the ground, which is located under the open sky, there will be an increased demand regarding the composition of the soil.

To get tomato seedlings, it is necessary to plant the original seeds of “Blagovest” in boxes with soil mixture. Its main components are sod land and humus, it will be useful to add peat or sawdust to the soil. Immediately before sowing seed material, the resulting nutrient composition is placed in a heated oven or microwave oven. Such an event is necessary in order to further disinfect the soil. No less effective means for the prevention of soil will be watering it with boiling water.

The cultivated soil has to stand for some time, therefore, working with seeds after disinfection is carried out after 14 days.

As for seed preparation, it is best to soak them before planting for one day in room temperature water. For additional stimulation of seed growth can also be used "Fitosporin". 100 ml of water will need one drop of the composition. In the preparation, seeds are soaked for no more than two hours.

Works on planting seeds are recommended in early March. In the ground form depressions up to one centimeter, where the material is placed for germination. The distance between the landings should be about 2 centimeters. On top of the seeds sprinkled with soil and watered.

The time of the first shoots varies depending on the air temperature in the room where the seed containers are located. At 25-30 ° C, tomato sprouts can be observed in the soil after only a few days, at a temperature below the specified value, it will take the plants a little longer to sprout. In the first week after planting the seeds, the boxes should be left without access to the light, in addition, to create an optimal microclimate inside, the seedlings should be covered on top with a film.

Tara with the first shoots can already be rearranged to a sunny place. If the duration of the natural daylight culture is not enough, it is necessary to provide additional coverage. Watering tomatoes is carried out by spraying the soil mixture at the time when it will dry out.

In the greenhouse culture transferred 60 days after sowing. At this time, "Blagovest" will be about 20 centimeters high, moreover, about six leaves will grow on young bushes. Before you transfer the boxes in the greenhouse, the seedlings need to harden. To do this, you need to put boxes on the street for a couple of hours a day, gradually increasing this time. In addition, the temperature should be lowered in the room where tomatoes are kept, bringing it to a level of + 16 ° C.

Greenhouse also requires preparation for planting tomatoes, usually these works are performed in the fall. It is necessary to dig the ground, fertilize it with humus or compost. Of mineral compounds, the introduction of wood ash will be effective.

The planting of the bushes is done in a checkerboard pattern; it is also possible to use the scheme of parallel placement of plants. Between the plants, an indent of half a meter is made, and the distance between the rows must be at least one meter, this situation is due to the size of the adult seedlings.

To make the process of adapting a culture to a new place more quickly, it is recommended to have abundant watering after the root system has deepened into the soil. Planting tomato in the open ground is possible only after establishing a constant positive air temperature outside. A similar method of growing a hybrid is recommended for the southern regions.

The best predecessors of the culture will be cucumbers, beans or garlic. But from planting after peppers, potatoes or other varieties of tomatoes should be abandoned.

The site for growing tomatoes should be placed in the sun and be as protected from the wind as possible, but in order for the plants not to get sunburn, they should be equipped with a canopy. On one square meter of land should be planted no more than three bushes, plants need to be tied up, and after rooting, pour plenty of warm water.

Agrotechnical measures relating to the tomato "Blagovest" are not much different from the usual care of the bushes of tomatoes.

Care is to perform the following work:

• watering;
• fertilizer;
• garter;
• disease prevention.

Watering plants requires a fairly moderate, the optimum level of soil moisture will be 90%.Excessive watering will adversely affect the growth of bushes - most often the vegetables begin to crack, in addition, moisture contributes to the spread of infections. On the lack of fluid, the plant signals the twisting of the leaves and the fall of the inflorescences.

Regular irrigation of tomatoes immediately after transplanting should not be carried out, because the bushes take some time to acclimatize. The optimal irrigation scheme will be the introduction of fluid for each plant twice a week in an amount equal to three liters. It is best to keep the water a little hot, the use of cold water for a hybrid is prohibited.

Moistening of the root system is carried out, avoiding irrigation of the stem and leaves. Morning or evening after sunset is considered a good time for watering.

The first introduction of fertilizers should be carried out no earlier than 14 days. Care should be taken to the number of nitrogen-containing compounds, since they contribute to the buildup of green mass bushes.

Superphosphate is best used in granular form, potassium sulfate is used in the form of a solution for spraying. In the flowering phase, tomatoes need boron, which is responsible for the formation of ovaries. It is also administered in the form of a solution for processing tomatoes.

Variety "Blagovest" well developed when tying bushes, in some cases, resort to the use of trellis. They are installed at a distance of at most 0.5 meters from each other, the wire is stretched in a horizontal position in increments of 50 centimeters. Well-recorded vigorous plants will not break under the weight of the fruit, in addition, tomatoes grown in open ground will not be threatened by wind and rain.

The hybrid is distinguished by resistance to phytophthora and cladosporioz, bushes are rarely affected by pest infestations. However, the variety is prone to curl foliage, as a result of which the color of the plant changes to a lighter one. Unfortunately, the disease is viral and effective measures to combat it have not yet been identified. The affected bushes must be promptly removed from the bed, and then disinfected. In this case, effective compositions based on copper, such as "Oxy" or Bordeaux mixture.
