This variety belongs to early ripening, already 35-40 days after germination of seedlings, fruits begin to ripen. Thus, the vegetative period is very short. Despite this, the palatability remains at a good level.

A high level of productivity is one of the advantages of the variety. It can reach 16 kg per square meter, the average figures are indicated at about 8.3 kg per 1 m2

Seeds can be sown in seedlings or sent directly into the open ground. The optimal time for the procedure is the last decade of April. Planting depth - from one and a half to two centimeters. Since the root system of the vegetable is powerful, it is important to determine the correct planting pattern so that the seedlings do not interfere with each other. Use deep and large containers for seedlings, and when planting in open ground, maintain a sufficient distance between bushes and between rows - 60 x 70 cm.

In order for the roots to form as needed, it is necessary to gradually reduce the difference between the temperature of the day and night in the direction of lowering the daily average. Adequate lighting and air humidity are also very important, since these criteria affect the final size and shape of the fruit. It is recommended to fertilize the plant by foliar method twice a week. Fertilizers alternate with calcium nitrate and compositions enriched with microelements. Do not forget to remove yellow foliage in time, so the plant will develop more actively.

When the first crop is harvested, the number of leaves on the bushes is checked. If there are more than 18 of them, the extra ones should be removed. At the same time, the minimum amount of foliage should be kept at the level of 18 pieces. Regular and abundant watering of the plant at the root is an obligatory agrotechnical stage.

This variety prefers fertile soils with minimal acidity. If the acidity is high, it is better to fertilize it with lime or dolomite flour before planting. And also at the level of preparation, the soil is flavored with the following components:

• compost;

• sod leaf type;

• humus;

• peat.

The soil must be carefully dug up, weeds must be removed. Another important point is the salt level of the soil. It is recommended to maintain it at about 2 in the first week, then increase it to 2.6 and keep it for another week. The final recommended salt level should not be more than 3.4, otherwise root burns are provided. This gradual increase helps the root system and the bush itself develop properly.
