Tomato "Sevryuga": description, planting and care

One of the most productive varieties of tomatoes is considered to be the “Sevryuga” tomato, bred by Russian breeders several years ago.With one bush, you can get 5 or more kilograms of large fruits, characterized by excellent taste and good keeping quality.

“Sevryuga” is an indeterminate variety of tomato, which gives continuous growth of new inflorescences and stepsons during the growing season until the autumn cold. It was bred for Siberian growing conditions, and this differs from the similar variety "Pudovik", with which it is unreasonably identified. "Pudovik" was derived for the middle zone, and "Sevryuga" - Siberian, well settled throughout the country. Refers to mid-season varieties with a period of maturation of up to four months, if we assume from the emergence of seedlings. Resistant to major diseases of tomatoes.

Requires the formation of a bush and regular removal of stepsons. The bush develops and bears fruit better if it is formed into 1 or 2 stems. Plant height reaches two meters, so you need a stalk garter. In open ground, the plant is rarely more than 1 meter in height, but even with this size it is necessary to provide support for its weak branches. There are gardeners who consider this variety to be not fully indeterminate, since more than once the cessation of development of one of the plant stems was observed long before the end of the growing season.

Fruits are large, heart-shaped, with a weight of at least 300 g. They are distinguished by a pink-raspberry color with a red tinge and juicy pulp. The taste is delicate and aromatic, with a slight sourness. On the cut, the fruit is dense, with four chambers and a small number of seeds. Tomatoes are suitable for preparations for the winter, as well as for the preparation of summer salads, juices.

In most zones of Russia, Sevryuga variety tomatoes are grown by seedlings. In southern areas, you can sow the seeds immediately in the ground in early spring, and harvest in late September. In the middle lane, tomatoes are planted in seedlings in greenhouses in early May and receive the first ripe fruits in the last decade of July. Mass redness of a tomato is observed in August. One of the important features of the variety is that it is suitable for growing in greenhouses and open ground.

In open ground, seedlings are planted in late May - early June, when there is no threat of frost. Planted in this way, the plants need pre-hardening, because the nights can still be, if not frosty, then very cold, even for a cold-resistant plant.

The quality of the seedlings depends on the development of the plants when they land on a permanent place in the ground and their yield. To avoid errors, seeds are purchased from reliable sellers. It is not recommended to buy seed from hands on the market or in temporary stalls on the streets of cities. Even a neighbor in the cottage is not worth taking the seeds because of the unknown origin of the source material. The most reliable will be the purchase of seeds in specialized seed enterprises.

Further actions for growing seedlings can be decomposed into the following steps:

• sowing seeds;
• picking seedlings;
• transplanting seedlings to a permanent place in the ground.

Prepared independently seedling soil before sowing seeds can be disinfected by roasting in the oven or boiling water, and then left in the wet state for 10 days to form in it useful microflora. After this period, seeds can be sown in such soil.

For sowing of seeds, a shallow box is used, where the prepared soil is poured and moistened with a layer of 4-5 cm. The soil should be deprived of any non-fertile organic matter capable of raising the temperature of the soil to the temperature at which the seeds will die. Seeds taken at specialized points from seed farms do not require additional processing. In other cases, they are disinfected in a one percent solution of potassium permanganate for 20 minutes.

Make the grooves no more than 1 cm deep over the entire area of ​​the box and the distance between them is 4 cm. The seeds are laid out in the grooves every 3 cm, and then covered with soil. For germination of seeds need a temperature above +25 degrees.

To ensure such conditions, a box with seeded seeds is covered with film and placed closer to radiators or other heat sources. Shoots will appear in about a week if soil moisture and temperature conditions are observed.

When the first shoots appear, it is necessary to ensure the temperature of their content in the range from +14 to +16 degrees and additional lighting. These measures will prevent sprouting. This temperature is kept for about a week, daily removing the film from the box for an hour to remove condensate from the ground surface. Excessive soil moisture can lead to the development of mold on its surface.

When all the seeds germinate, remove the film from the box. Now seedlings need a temperature of about +22 degrees during the day and +16 degrees at night. It is required to moisturize the soil no more than once every 3-4 days. In phase 3 of these leaves, you can begin to pick the seedlings. Replant them very carefully in peat pots or plastic cups with drainage holes.

The seedlings of “Sevryugi” are distinguished by a tendency to stretch out into growth, lagging behind in the stronghold strength from other varieties. Therefore, constant monitoring of plant development, light and temperature conditions of growing conditions is necessary. Reviews of gardeners confirm the moment that at home it is difficult to grow resistant seedlings of this variety, but the problem can be corrected after transplanting seedlings into the ground. There are some tricks.

• Bushes are planted no more than three per 1 m2. They have a peculiarity to grow, which, when the planting thickens, will lead to the complexity of caring for plants.
• When loose and extended seedlings should be cut off all the branches and leaves on the stem, except the top, and dig it into the ground along with the roots. To do this, dig a hole not deep down, but along the surface of the soil. It turns out that the stem fits into the ground, and only its top with leaves remains on top. This method allows you to strengthen the root system of tomato due to the formation of new root processes from a dug stalk, as well as to get a more powerful bush from its top.
• When transplanting seedlings, it is necessary to add mineral fertilizers - superphosphate in an average dose (30 g) to the well. The soil should be humus, it is not necessary to give large doses of mineral fertilizers.
• After planting, it is good to water the transplanted bush and spud it.

In the future, the care of the plant consists in periodic watering and pasynkovanii. If tomato is grown in a greenhouse, then do not forget about the temperature conditions inside the building on sunny days. The optimum temperature for the setting and development of the fruit is from 20 to 23 degrees Celsius. Mandatory airing of the greenhouse to maintain normal humidity will prevent plant diseases from phytophthora.

Watering planting need not more than once a week, but plenty. This also applies to the case of growing tomatoes in the open air in the absence of rain. After watering, it is recommended to mulch the soil for better conservation of moisture. Do not get carried away with fertilizing plants with mineral fertilizers. Frequent watering and fertilizing adversely affect the appearance of the fruit (they crack) and their taste.
