Characteristics and description of the Verlioka tomato variety, its yield and cultivation

The first generation hybrids, which include the Verlioka plus tomato, are distinguished by high yields and resistance to a number of diseases of nightshade crops. But besides these obvious advantages, the description of the variety includes earlier ripening periods and excellent fruit quality.

Characteristics of the variety "Verlioka plus F1"

In hybrids, the properties of the parent varieties used in the selection process are intensely manifested.The characteristics and description of the Verlioka tomato variety demonstrate a whole list of consumer and commercial qualities that have made the tomato in demand not only among gardeners. Farmers successfully grow the Verlioka f1 hybrid for commercial purposes, using its high yield and early maturity. In addition, “tomatoes on a branch” look very impressive and it is in this form that they can be supplied to the retail chain.

Basic parameters of tomato

Verlioka F1 tomatoes are not capricious, they are well adapted to growing conditions in unheated greenhouses, even in early spring. Main characteristics and their description:

• the hybrid is resistant to stress associated with temperature changes, air humidity, and low light levels;
• belongs to the category of early ripening, with a growing season duration of 101-105 days;
• The height of the plant ranges from one to one and a half meters. In some cases, it manages to grow up to 1800 cm. Belongs to the tall category. Requires a garter;
• bush type is determinate, medium branched, medium leafy. The leaves are ordinary, corrugated, dark green in color;
• inflorescences are laid through 2 leaves, the first above the level of 8-9 leaves. The bush should be formed by a lateral shoot into one stem;
• From 6 to 12 fruits are formed on the brush. The productivity of Verlioka tomato is high, up to 5 kg per plant;
• the hybrid is resistant to pathogens of a number of viral diseases.

If planted early, the harvest can be harvested as early as June.

An important difference between F1 hybrids and conventional varieties is their genetic resistance to a number of diseases and pests.This is especially true for growing tomatoes indoors, where, due to limited crop rotation, pathogenic microflora and fauna are formed. Only first-order F1 hybrids are grown in heated winter greenhouses.

Characteristics of the fetus

The fruits can be classified as classic examples of tomatoes. They have an ideal presentation, thanks to the traditional color, shape and even, almost identical size of the fruit.

Description of Verlioka tomatoes:

• tomatoes are smooth, have a flat-round shape, with slight ribbing at the base;
• weight ranges from 100 g to 140 g;
• the fruit is five-chambered, with an average number of seeds. The pulp is dense, juicy;
• the skin is medium thick, smooth, shiny bright red with a slight orange tint;
• the taste of tomatoes is sweet and sour, with pronounced tomato notes;
• universal-purpose tomatoes for fresh consumption and all types of preparations.

Tomatoes have a real tomato taste and behave well in whole-fruit preparations. They can be pickled and salted. Suitable for making tomato juice, puree, paste. Fresh tomatoes are good in salads and used to decorate dishes.

Basic requirements for cultivation and care

Hybrid tomato "Verlioka plus" - intended for growing an early harvest. But the plants need help. More precisely, you will need to follow the regimes of watering, lighting and fertilizing. The timing of ripening is also influenced by techniques for the correct formation of the plant.

Seedling growing method

Growing seedlings is a process that requires attention and accuracy. It is during this period that the success of the future harvest is laid.

1. Seeds are planted for seedlings in March - April on the basis that by the time they are planted in the greenhouse, they must be at least 40 days old.
2. The seeds are disinfected, treated with a growth stimulant, and hardened.
3. Prepared seeds are planted in moist soil, deepened by 1-1.5 cm, and germinated at 22-25 degrees.
4. With the emergence of seedlings, carefully monitor the temperature regime. Illumination should be maximum, and the temperature should be reduced in the daytime to 15-18 degrees and at night - to 8-10 degrees.
5. In the phase of 2 permanent leaves, the seedlings dive, preferably into peat containers, which are subsequently planted in the greenhouse without disturbing the earthen coma.
6. Caring for seedlings involves timely watering, loosening the soil, and fertilizing.
7. Fertilizing is carried out every 10-14 days with ready-made complex fertilizers or mullein in a ratio of 1:5. A fertilizing solution is prepared from bird droppings at a rate of 1:15.
8. A week before transplanting into the greenhouse, several hardening sessions are carried out, accustoming the plants to lower temperatures and full lighting.

If the temperature in April is warm, then seedlings are planted in the greenhouse in the middle or end of the month.

Important! When the air temperature drops to 10 degrees, tomatoes stop growing, pollen does not ripen, and as a result, the ovaries fall off. The heat-loving crop blooms only at temperatures from 15 to 35 degrees. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the correct temperature in the greenhouse.

Transplanting seedlings into a greenhouse

Caring for tomato seedlings should provide them with the fastest possible survival and full growth.

1. The soil in the greenhouse must be prepared in the fall. Before planting, the soil is loosened and watered abundantly.
2. Strong, healthy plants are planted in a greenhouse according to a 40 x 50 pattern.
3. In a greenhouse with tomatoes, the temperature should be maintained at 22-25 degrees during the day and 16-18 degrees at night.
4. Plants are watered moderately, not allowing the soil to dry out. The top layer of soil is loosened and hilled around the lower part of the stem, thereby ensuring the growth of the root system and gas exchange.
5. The plant is formed from one stem, leaving 4-8 clusters on it for maturation. Remove yellowed leaves in a timely manner and trim the shoots at a level of 3-5 cm. The stem is tied to a support or trellis.
6. Fertilizing is carried out once every 3 weeks, in accordance with the condition and stage of development of the tomatoes.

With proper care, the first harvest is harvested in June. The main tomato harvest occurs in July and early August; it is characterized by rapid ripening.
