Red Dusya - from seeds to harvest
The planting time is calculated from the time of transplantation into a greenhouse or open ground. The calculated value is the age of the seedlings; for Dusya red it is 50–60 days. The age of the seedlings is subtracted from the expected date of transplantation and the time for sowing seeds for seedlings is obtained.
Before sowing, the seeds should be kept in a solution of potassium permanganate (the solution is slightly pink) for 15–20 minutes. Treat the soil with temperature (in the oven), a solution of potassium permanganate, and a fungicide (Fitosporin-M). It is worth sowing in plastic seedling boxes, the height of the walls of the seedling box is not higher than 7 cm.Moisten the soil well, spread the seeds according to a 2.5 * 4 cm pattern, sprinkle with a 1.5 - 2 cm layer of humus or soil.
Before the shoots appear, cover the boxes with film or glass. Maintain the room temperature at 23 – 25 °C.
When planting in the ground, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations: place no more than three red Dusya bushes per 1 square meter. During the season, feed the tomatoes several times with mineral fertilizers. Water regularly (every 5 days), generously. Tie the bush to a support, lead it into 2 - 3 stems.
For lovers of yellow tomatoes, we can recommend the yellow Dusya variety - summer residents speak well of it.
Reviews
Irina, Republic of Khakassia:
“The Dusya Krasnaya variety is one of my favorites; I’ve been planting it in a polycarbonate greenhouse for three years now. I sow seeds for seedlings in early March (first ten days), and after April 20 I transplant them into a greenhouse. Bushes of medium height, from 80 cm to 1 m, require garter, neat, minimal care. For three years, not a single bush was sick, they always bore fruit consistently.
The tomatoes are one of the first to begin to sing; only the tall Budenovka does not lag behind Dusya. The fruits taste good and look very nice; we eat them in salads, although they are also great for pickling. I feed it at the root 3 times a season, in July I spray it once with a solution of boric acid, once with milk and iodine. After foliar feeding, Dusya begins a new wave of flowering; I harvest the last tomatoes at the end of August.”
Elena, Voronezh:
“I buy seeds from the Sibirsky Sad company; I have been planting red Dusya since 2011. I love it for its unpretentiousness and stable yields. Whatever the weather, Dusya bears fruit well. The tomato shape and size are ideal for whole-fruit canning. At the beginning of summer I make an assortment of young cucumbers, adding fruits from Dusya.The assortment turns out beautiful and tasty. For the next season I want to buy Dusya orange seeds, they are very praised.”
