Tomato Axiom F1 is an indeterminate hybrid that has been adapted to different climate conditions. Seeds for planting this variety are produced by the Dutch company Nunhems. They are in great demand among farmers and gardeners and have a germination rate of slightly less than 95%. In Ukraine and Moldova, the hybrid is grown in fields, in Russia - mainly in film greenhouses.
Description of the variety
The first fruits on tall tomato bushes ripen 2 months after pollination. Tomatoes set in both clear and cloudy damp weather.The powerful plant has short internodes, is well ventilated, and the tomatoes are not subject to sunburn because they are protected by dense foliage. Multi-chambered fruits ripen on the clusters, characterized by:
- rounded shape;
- intense red color;
- lack of veins;
- juicy pulp.
One tomato weighs from 150 to 200 g. Unlike other varieties, the hybrid does not have a green spot near the stalk. If you pay attention to the description of the Axiom F1 tomato, it is easy to notice a characteristic feature of tomatoes - the pulp and the outer part have the same uniform color.
What are the advantages of a hybrid?
The fruits of the Axioma variety have excellent taste, which is combined with high transportability. Tomatoes are stored for a long time, do not rot or dry out. Positive reviews and characteristics of the tomato helped the hybrid get into the review rating among indeterminate varieties.
The plant bears about 4 fruits on its clusters, but since tomatoes have a large mass, at least 22 kg of bright and juicy tomatoes are harvested per square meter. An important advantage of the hybrid is that it is not susceptible to infection:
- fusarium;
- tobacco mosaic;
- verticillium.
The variety is resistant to some types of nematodes. Important characteristics of tomatoes include early ripening and high adaptation to various growing zones.
Features of agricultural technology
The hybrid seeds are treated with a fungicide before packaging, so there is no need to soak them. Seedlings are sent to the greenhouse in early April, and in open ground in mid-May. The place for the garden bed is chosen after crops such as cucumbers, zucchini, dill, and cabbage. You should not grow tomatoes on land where they were preceded by eggplants or potatoes.
Three seedlings 50–55 days old are placed on one square meter, leaving 80 cm between the beds. The bushes should have at least 8 or 9 leaves, the lower ones of which are torn off. In order for tomatoes to develop faster, the soil in the holes is treated with Effect.
Specifics of care
Indeterminate varieties grow strongly, so shoots are removed from the bushes and no more than 6 clusters are left on the stem. Tomatoes are tied to supports, otherwise they will break under the weight of the fruit. A wire is pulled in front of the vertical trellises, which is adjusted as the bush grows in size.
When growing the Axiom variety in a greenhouse, you must follow the following rules:
- hydration;
- ventilation;
- pollination.
Water the plant once every five days with warm water. In sunny weather, shake and spray each inflorescence, due to which more ovaries are formed. Regular ventilation prevents the occurrence of diseases. If all requirements for crop care are met, a harvest of attractive and sweet fruits is guaranteed.
