For tomato lovers, the market offers a huge variety of varieties with a variety of characteristics. They differ in size, color, ripening time and other parameters. Therefore, admirers of this vegetable need to know which type is suitable specifically for their areas and regions. So let's look at one of the most popular varieties of tomatoes - the Tretyakov tomato.
Characteristic
Of the incredible number of varieties, the Tretyakovsky f1 tomato is popular. This is a first generation hybrid, which is distinguished by vitality, growth and large yield.This type of tomato is hardier than ordinary varieties, less susceptible to diseases and pest attacks, but, unfortunately, does not produce full-fledged seeds. The entire second generation of F1 hybrids grows variegated, variegated, and practically without fruits. It is simply not possible to collect seeds from them, and there is no need for such offspring.
But the first generation of tomatoes will delight you with their color, taste and juiciness. This tomato variety was bred in 1999 and is intended for open ground and greenhouses.
The record harvest from one bush was 5.5 kg of fruit.
Seedling
Tomato seeds are planted for seedlings in pots when about 65 days remain before planting in the ground. Each gardener must calculate this date himself, since it is different for different regions. We must not forget that before planting seeds in the ground, they must be treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and the floating seeds must be planted in the ground. But some people prefer to germinate them first to obtain better seedlings. To do this, they are placed in a wet cloth. Both gardeners are right. However, with the second option, you can immediately see which seeds are alive, and in the first option, the probability that you guessed the living seeds is lower.
In the first weeks (up to 3 on average), the seedlings form a root system, so growth is very slow. During this period, you should not get carried away with watering, and fertilizing can only be done once.
As soon as the first leaf appears, the plant begins to grow. This is where you need to pay special attention to temperature and sunlight. The alarm should be sounded if the plant begins to grow very upward, it means it is hot.In order for the seedlings to be strong and not pampered, they must be in a cool place, on the non-sunny side, since they do not require strong sun. However, you need to monitor the length of daylight hours; it should not be less than 12 hours.
In this case, the Tretyakovsky tomato will grow green mass rather than grow a stem. At this time, you need to increase watering and do not forget to feed the plants. If you do not follow these recommendations, the tomatoes will take a long time to take root and become sick when transplanting.
When the plant reaches a height of about 10 cm (on average), and there is not one, but as many as 5 leaves on the stem, it is necessary to monitor its formation. For example, make sure that it does not overgrow, has comfortable conditions, sufficient lighting, watering with organic matter and always a moderate temperature in the place of cultivation. Water a little more often, but not more than twice a week. A few days before the high-rise, you need to start hardening the tomatoes, at least 10 days.
Landing in the ground
When the seedlings grow, they can be planted in open ground or a greenhouse. The fact that the tomatoes are ready for planting is indicated by their appearance. So it is believed that the height of the trunk should be up to 25 cm, thickness - up to 7 cm, and the number of leaves should be at least 7-9 pieces. Typically, gardeners plant tomatoes in greenhouses somewhere starting in May. Planting in open ground takes place in early June, when the temperature reaches 15, and preferably 25 degrees. In this case, the seedlings will take root better.
With proper planting, beautiful well-groomed bushes of Tretyakovsky tomatoes will appear in the beds. Outwardly more like an ornamental plant, its beauty is said to be “like in the Tretyakov Gallery.”
The peculiarity of this type of bush is that it has quickly and frequently growing shoots. Therefore, it constantly needs pinching and tying up the plant mass.
It is best to form a crown with several stems, but do not let it grow upward. Since this tomato is a hybrid, its length can reach eight meters, which is not necessary, so you need to pinch the main stem. In this case, the bush will grow wider. Therefore, you need to leave only 2 shoots from the bush, remove the others. Otherwise, the shadow created by the foliage will cause problems for other neighboring plants.
Brief description of the species
The characteristics and description of the variety of this tomato indicate that its sprouts are powerful, with good foliage running along the entire stem. This species produces inflorescences at intervals, usually every 3 leaves. The ovary on a tomato usually forms as a cluster, which can contain from 7 to 9 fruits.
This tomato variety is unpretentious and can grow in the shade, forms many ovaries, and does not depend on the vagaries of the weather. Those who have planted this variety know that it is resistant to fungal diseases. But during the growth period it requires intensive feeding containing phosphorus and potassium. Belongs to mid-early varieties. Ripe fruits should be expected 100, maximum 110 days after planting the seeds.
During fruit ripening, Colorado potato beetles can attack the bushes, but most often in southern countries. In the middle zone, problems are more common due to the white moth, sawfly, and codling moth.
The Tretyakovsky tomato variety has fruits of a rich color, raspberry hue. The shape is small, round, and the weight can reach 140 g.

Reviews
Very good variety with large yield
Advantages: Seeds of excellent quality. Almost all of them sprouted during germination.
Disadvantages: It was difficult to handle the garter. The bushes have grown greatly.
I tried this tomato variety only this year and was pleased. I germinated the seeds and planted them in the ground.I followed the advice from the Internet and got healthy and strong bushes. Planted it in the ground. Unfortunately, I didn’t tie up several bushes together. Therefore, I had problems with the garter. Next year I will definitely pay attention to this and I hope the trunks will help themselves.
The harvest is excellent. The wife couldn't be happier. She salted and made juices.
Tomatoes are just a miracle
Advantages: I was pleased with the germination rate and strong bushes.
Disadvantages: no
A friend recommended these tomatoes to me. But she bought seedlings at the market, and I didn’t like the somewhat frail bushes. So I found seeds on the Internet and grew seedlings myself. It turned out strong, beautiful, just like from the Tretyakov Gallery. I planted everything in the ground and ended up with gorgeous tomatoes. Smooth, some delightfully raspberry color. My daughter said that a huge raspberry appeared in our garden. The fruits were sweet and juicy. Highly recommend. Just pay attention to the height of the bush. I overdid it a little and they were taller than me. But next year I’ll correct the mistake and pluck the top.
Not tomatoes, but a work of art.
Advantages: large harvest
Disadvantages: Unfortunately, not all seeds sprouted from the bag
I bought the seeds on the Internet. As always, I treated them with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and planted those that floated into cups. Alas, several glasses remained empty. Mom said that it’s still better to germinate, because you can immediately see who will grow and who is empty. I'll definitely do this next season. I grew seedlings from the remaining seeds and planted them in the ground. While the tomatoes were growing, I noticed that there were practically no problems with the leaves. They did not turn yellow or dry out. The harvest turned out amazing.Beautiful, juicy tomatoes. After collection, they were stored in the refrigerator for a long time. And in winter they made me happy in jars. I recommend this variety to everyone.
