Tomato Grozdeva

A variety called Grozdeva appeared on sale in Russia relatively recently, but it has already caught the fancy of local gardeners. It is recommended to grow tomatoes in greenhouses; in open ground, they are cultivated only in warm regions.

Tall plants grow up to 180-300 centimeters. The bushes of this variety are compact but powerful. Growth type is indeterminate. The green mass is dense and lush, consisting of medium-sized bright green leaves. In greenhouses, the plant variety encloses an enclosed space. During flowering, the plant is covered with an abundance of flowers. Fruit clusters are formed in large numbers. The first inflorescence is laid above 9-11 leaves, and the rest alternate every 2-3 leaves.

Unripe tomatoes are light green, and ripeness is indicated by a deep red color. The sizes are small, in weight, tomatoes are gaining about 85 grams, but some specimens can reach 150 grams. The shape is elliptical. One brush grows from 8 to 9 fruits with dense and firm pulp. Tomatoes are covered with a glossy peel.

The gastronomic qualities are noted as good. Delicious fruits are often enjoyed fresh. They are also used for felting, preserving or drying.

The ripening period is 103 days. The variety has an early ripening period.

19.1 kilograms of tomatoes are harvested from one square meter of the plantation. The crop can boast of high transportability and marketability.

Seedlings are easy to grow on your own. The seed is sown in the period from March 10-15 to March 30 or April 5. It all depends on the climatic characteristics of each region, the main thing is to complete the work 45-55 days before the seedlings are planted in greenhouses. Dates for open ground start from April 10-15, about 35-40 days before the scheduled landing date. Plant growth activity is directly related to weather conditions.

Before germinating seedlings, it is important to properly prepare the seed material. It is imperative to disinfect the container in which the tomatoes will grow. You need to work with gloves, periodically wiping your hands with napkins. A new container must be washed, and it is recommended to soak it in a deochlor solution already, and leave it for 24 hours (1 tablet of the substance is dissolved in 5 liters of water), after the container is rinsed.

If the soil mixture is prepared with your own hands, it is advisable to mix at least 20% of the purchased land into it. So the tomatoes will grow better and will delight you with a bountiful harvest. The following composition is great for growing tomatoes: 30% of garden soil (the main thing is that tomatoes do not grow in it earlier); 35% peat, 20% ready-made soil mixture; 10% vermicompost; 4% perlite and the last component - 1% vermiculite. The soil from the site is steamed at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius.

The optimal planting pattern is 70x40 centimeters.

The prerequisites for growing the Grozdevoy variety are the garter of the shoots, the formation and pinching. After transplanting into open ground, the plants are irrigated after 10 days. Young seedlings need moisture in order to adapt in a new place and then form a high-quality harvest. It is also desirable to feed the plants. To prepare the nutrient solution, 1-2 tablespoons of ammonium sulfate and nitrogen are dissolved in 10 liters of water. The first substance is used as a prophylaxis against infections, and nitrogen is a building material. It is essential for the formation of new plant cells.

One plant uses from 2 to 4 liters of liquid. The exact volume depends on the air temperature. More water is used in the hot season.

When cultivating, it is desirable to form a plant in 1-2 stems. Experienced gardeners note that maximum fruiting can be achieved when formed into one stem. All lateral processes must be removed. The work is carried out early in the morning. The length of the stepsons should be 5 centimeters. When pruning, a small stump of 3 centimeters is left, so the stepson will not grow back.

Plants are tied up one and a half weeks after planting. During this time, the complete rooting of the seedlings will take place. The presence of supports must be taken care of in advance. Tie up the shoots carefully so as not to damage them.

Top dressing is performed according to the following scheme.

For the first time, a calcium-based composition is used. When using a purchased composition, you must follow the instructions exactly, without exceeding the permissible dosage. It takes 2.5 to 3 days for the calcium to be completely absorbed. During this period, plants are watered with clean water without adding nutrients.

3 days after the first portion of fertilizers, potassium monophosphate is applied. It plays an important role in bud setting. 0.5-1 teaspoon of the substance is diluted in 10 liters of water. The resulting composition is sprayed on the leaves. This type of feeding does not contain nitrogen, therefore, when the upper layers of the soil dry out, you can irrigate with the addition of organic matter.

After another 3-4 days, you can feed the tomatoes with "Mag Bor". The consumption of the composition is small, half a teaspoon per 10 liters of liquid is enough. The components that make up the drug are necessary for the buds to grow into full-fledged ovaries. The latter use balanced feeding and complex fertilizers.
