The hybrid tomato Khlynovsky F1 can adapt to various growing conditions. This feature is specially laid down in the genes. One of the best hybrids of domestic selection. Productivity is consistently high from year to year.
Russian selection from Agrosemtoms
The company "Agrosemtoms" is based in the city of Kirov. He is engaged in the selection of various vegetable crops, but tomatoes are always a priority. The company cooperates with scientific institutes in Russia and China and uses the latest developments in the field of genetics. He sees his task as creating vegetables with high adaptive properties.This is most relevant for our country, where there are so many different climate zones.
A valuable achievement in tomato selection from Agrosemtoms is the hybrid Khlynovsky F1 (sometimes also called “Khlynovsky tomatoes”). Included in the State Register of Seeds in 1999. Since then, many gardeners have loved the tomato. Khlynovsky is a tomato with a unique set of characteristics. Stable yields are combined with early ripening, and high resistance to infections allows you to harvest environmentally friendly products.
The hybrid was obtained in the Volga-Vyatka region, but showed excellent results not only in the Volga region and the Urals, but also in other agricultural regions of the Russian Federation.
Fruiting
Characteristics and description of the Khlynovsky tomato variety conquers, first of all, the size of the fruit. For hybrid tomatoes, large fruit size is a very valuable property. Other features:
- The size of the tomatoes is about 200 grams. This is an average, and the first clusters bear fruits weighing 300 - 350 grams. As a rule, there are no small tomatoes on the bushes at all, even towards the end of the season.
- The shape of tomatoes is classic, rounded-flat, sometimes with slight ribbing.
- The skin is smooth, dense, shiny. Unripe fruits often have a green spot near the stalk, which disappears when ripe. The color becomes uniform, bright red.
- The presentation of the tomatoes is of the highest standard.
- The pulp is very fleshy, not watery. Dense, like many hybrids, but not “rubbery”. The taste is good. The fruits are intended for salads and processing into various products.
- Clusters carry 3 to 6 tomatoes, often laid across one leaf, sometimes through two.The first ovary forms early, after the growth of 8 or 9 leaves.
The ripening period for tomatoes of the hybrid Khlynovsky F1 is mid-early. For gardeners who planted this variety in a greenhouse, the fruits turned red after three and a half months, counting from the time of emergence. Tomatoes ripen continuously until the end of the season.
Productivity can reach 39 kilograms per square meter in reputable greenhouses. The average standard figure for ordinary greenhouses and open ground is 12 - 19 kg per square meter. These are also excellent numbers for fruit of such high quality. All tomatoes are smooth, marketable, there are no ugly ones, there is no waste.
Features of growth
Hybrid tomato Khlynovsky F1 belongs to the category of semi-determinate varieties. The bushes grow to a considerable height, form several tassels, and then stop growing on their own (verticalize). This ability of plants greatly facilitates their cultivation. Tomatoes themselves feel their potential and do not waste their energy. There is no need to pinch the growing point.
After three or four clusters are formed, a reserve stepson is left above them, which will continue the growth of the stem if the main trunk ends early. This is especially necessary in a greenhouse to reap the maximum harvest. In street beds, where the growing season is shorter, all stepsons are removed.
The height of the Khlynovsky F1 tomato in open ground is one and a half meters. In greenhouse conditions, tomatoes grow stronger - up to two meters, just up to the ceiling. A strong garter is required.
Stepchildren are formed in moderate quantities. They need to be plucked out in a timely manner.Tomato Khlynovsky F1 was bred as a variety of a modern, generative type, when the growth energy is directed into the fruits, and not into the tops. The foliage is medium sized, smooth, shiny. The foliage of the bushes is moderate.
In the greenhouse, the lower leaves of the Khlynovsky F1 tomato begin to be removed when the tomatoes reach their maximum size and begin to color. No more than two leaves are removed each week, moving upward as the next bunches are filled.
Variety endurance indicators
An important advantage of the modern hybrid Khlynovsky F1 is its ability to withstand diseases and the vagaries of the weather.
Climatic factors
Tomato Khlynovsky is not afraid of cold weather. The one who planted these pomidora, notices that the fruits continue to set and fill even in cool, cloudy weather. In addition, this hybrid tolerates even a lack of lighting and develops successfully in partial shade conditions.
The tomato can also withstand temperature changes. The development of ovaries can only be slowed down due to strong greenhouse heat - then it is necessary to establish through ventilation.
Reviews from gardeners indicate that the Khlynovsky F1 hybrid grows well in open ground, even in the Moscow region and Siberia. It is advisable to plant it on ridges protected from the wind. No more than four bushes are placed on one square meter. The age of young plants before planting in the ground should not exceed 55 days, otherwise there is a risk of losing the first ovaries. This can lead to stunted growth and reduced overall yield.
Disease resistance
Tomato Khlynovsky F1 was created genetically resistant to many tomato diseases. The hybrid is not affected by verticillium and fusarium wilt, and does not suffer from cladosporiosis. It is not infected with the tobacco mosaic virus, which is incurable.The variety is relatively resistant even to late blight. In addition to infections, the Khlynovsky tomato does not suffer from such a microscopic pest as the root-knot nematode.
Based on the totality of all its qualities, the hybrid tomato Khlynovsky F1 occupies a worthy place among large-fruited tomatoes for greenhouse cultivation. Its versatility allows you to obtain decent yields in open ground.
