Pink Heath is a high-yielding hybrid. At least 3-3.5 kg of ripe tomatoes are collected from the bush. The collection is carried out with a frequency of at least 1 time in 3-7 days.

Tomatoes are transferred to open ground in the 2nd decade of April in the southern regions, in other climatic zones this stage can shift until the end of May. On average, it is worth waiting for the soil to warm up successfully to +10 degrees. The readiness of the bushes for transplantation will be indicated by the appearance of 9-10 true leaves, as well as the first flower brush.

Sowing seeds begins very early, in mid-February. It is in this case that the plants will be timely ready for transplantation.

There are no more than 2.5-2.7 plants per 1 m2. A tighter planting will result in over-thickening of the shoots. It is worth adhering to the scheme 37-40 per 100 cm.

The hybrid is cultivated in greenhouse conditions - under a film or in glazed shelters. In the open field, planting is carried out within the framework of 1 or 2 crop rotation - in the spring-summer period or summer-autumn. Bushes need shaping. In the greenhouse, it is recommended to maintain the temperature around +22 degrees, slightly increasing it during the fruiting period. If the plants are overheated, the ovaries will not form due to the sterilization of the pollen.

Planting Pink Hit hybrids should be done exclusively in fertile soil. It will be useful to pre-sow the ridges with green manure, or use areas where beans, zucchini, beans or corn were previously cultivated. Solanaceous crops are categorically not suitable as predecessors.

The bushes are tied after 7-10 days from the moment of transplantation to a permanent place. For this, a vertical trellis is used, on which the shoots are fixed with synthetic materials. So the plant will not suffer from the severity of the fruits as they gain weight.

Grassing bushes is required, but not too frequent. In this case, the bush is kept in 1 stem, unnecessary lateral shoots are eliminated every 5-7 days.

The watering regime for this tomato should be abundant enough, without gaps. But in the first 14 days after transplanting, the plants are generally not moistened, allowing them to properly acclimatize. Then a schedule is established with a frequency of 5-7 days, with the consumption of 15-20 liters for each bush. Watering is carried out in the root zone, should not affect the shoots.

And also during the care process, it is important to provide air access to the roots of tomatoes, especially in the greenhouse. Loosening the soil, regular airing - these are just a small part of what can be done to improve the growth and development of bushes.

The plant is immune to most of the most common tomato diseases. The hybrid is resistant to fusarium wilt, tobacco mosaic virus, verticillosis. May be affected by the yellow curl virus.
