Marianna F1 is a new hybrid, reviews about the tomato are still difficult to find, but the situation will soon change. I managed to find a video on YouTube about the Marianna F1 tomato. The video, however, is in Kazakh, but upon viewing it became clear that this is a super-yielding variety.
Information from YouTube
The video was about the industrial cultivation of a hybrid. Here is a description of the hybrid, written based on viewing it. The bushes are low (40 cm), wide (40 cm in diameter), grow in the field without a garter, the stepsons were probably not removed. To show the yield of the variety, the farmers pulled out one bush, picked off all the fruits, counted them, and counted 94 pieces.The number of fruits was impressive.
We weighed large tomatoes, one weighed 129.2 g, the second - 170.9 g. The weight is convincing for such low-growing bushes. One of the largest and ripest fruits was cut. The cut shows 3 seed chambers, a small number of seeds, the flesh is dense and thick (5 mm). The shape of the fruit is classic cream, the color is usual red. There were two comments on this video.
The video was commented on by two lovers of short cream, Lena and Vladislav. They were unanimous in their assessment of the Marianna F1 tomato; everyone’s review was short but succinct: mega-yielding, the best hybrid among the cream. These laconic reviews and convincing video leave no doubt that this hybrid simply needs to be planted next season.

Description of the hybrid
Hybrid Marianna F1 has been included in the State Register since 2011. The North Caucasus is the region recommended for growing the variety. The tomato is mid-season, the ripening period is from 120 to 130 days. The variety was developed for open ground and can be used for cultivation on an industrial scale.
Characteristics of the Marianna hybrid bush: determinate type, low 40–50 cm, does not require pinching or staking. The stems are densely covered with light green, medium-sized leaves.The plant is medium-vigorous with good resistance to viruses, fusarium and nematodes.
The yield of Marianna F1 tomatoes was tested during testing of the variety in the North Caucasus region; it ranges from 290 to 583 c/ha. When industrially growing tomatoes, a high yield of commercial quality fruits was recorded - 97%. When grown in a summer cottage, up to 7 kg of tomatoes are harvested from one bush. The hybrid tolerates heat well; it belongs to the group of heat-resistant tomatoes.
Fruit
The fruits of Marianna F1 can be classified as large cream. Their shape is elliptical, characteristic of classic cream. The size of the fruits on one bush varies: from large, weighing 200 g, to medium - 130 g. The color of the fruit is bright, red. The pulp is dense with a small number of seeds. The seed chambers are large, the skin is smooth and durable.
The purpose of the fruit is universal; they are distinguished by good taste, keeping quality, and transportability. The pulp contains a sugar percentage of 3.4. The percentage of dry matter is 5.9.
Agricultural technology
In the southern regions, the Marianna F1 hybrid can be grown in two ways:
- direct sowing in open ground;
- seedlings.
Seedlings are planted in a permanent place at the age of 35 days. Do not treat the seeds before sowing, as they have already been treated with a modern fungicide. The soil should warm up to 15 °C at the time of planting. Measure the soil temperature by deepening the thermometer 10 cm; Marianna F1 tomatoes can be planted under cover after April 15–20, without cover - in the second half of May.
The modern hybrid Marianna F1 deserves attention from summer residents and farmers. A large harvest can be obtained without high costs.
